d3 > poe

The statement suggesting that the playerbase of D3 is larger, or more active or whatever that implication was, saying that PoE is a "clone that got a small player base" is borderline comical considering that one is growing in leaps and bounds, while the other has been stagnant for a long time...

D3 has larger player base than PoE. It can be observed with no much trouble if you play both games. And PoE is clone, D3 is clone - both has its original ideas and copy/paste from each other and other games. Even D3 is stagnant, PoE still has to go some way to be where D3 is.

Diablo 3 had error 37.

My opinion:

Path of Exile.

I have several hundred hours in D3 and even more in POE.

D3 is very easy to handle. You know pretty much most of what there is to know from the start. Uniques don't feel unique because they drop at like level 8. I don't really feel all that powerful in D3 at times. D3 performance is much better.

POE, as previously stated several times has a large variety of skills and builds. It is less cartoon-ish and more gritty. I absolutely hate the trade system in POE but then again, I was a fan of the RMAH in D3.....which was against popular opinion (maybe it just because I actually made money on it). There is a HUGE learning curve in POE. You need the game open, poe currency tab open, poe trade tab open, gamepedia...etc etc. Due to the lack of a unified 'currency' you are constantly having to check prices of everything. But to be honest, I put up with it all because at the base of it all...I

...
I want a game with choices. I want a game where my choices make me feel powerful. I want a game where a million and one things can drop at any given moment and with POE, I feel all of those things.

D3 has a larger player base because 1) it is made by Blizzard. Blizzard can literally sploog on your dad's stomach and it would sell 4 million copies. 2) It broke records when it was released

It immediately dropped in player count a few months after release and has continued. To be fair, you can't compare player bases. I talk to people daily who have never head of POE but have heard of D3. Its not because POE is a bad game...its because Blizzard does a great job marketing their game.

Diablo presents bug fix for necro BUHAHA

PoEfanboys suffer from the underdog complex , where it puts itself on a pedestal acting manicly convincing - inspiring and very groundbreaking.

then you actually play the game and 90% of theorycrafting , builds fly out the window after yellowmaps.

then you´ve D3 where its straight forward and if you talk about PoE on d3 no1 hates on it , no1 shittalks it - matterfact many d3 players play PoE casually or havent heard about it and try it out.

PoE community suffers from turboautism in denial of its flaws and claiming its superb when it has MANY flaws.

they told us (GGG) theyd be working on a tradesystem for years now and nothings happening.
we´ve so many tabs , premium tab - let people take items out of our premiumtabs for sale by visiting our HO via poe.trade and combination of both ingame perhaps - not rocketscience - also battles pricefixers and removes all the flippers - scammers mostly.

but somehow that is a nono because most people in this game are S C U M wether willingly or unwillingly.
it is a very rare occurence to meet an honest and down to earth person in poe while in d3 everyone just wants to have fun and kill mobs.

in PoE it´s like the TV series named Suits - everyone is a lawyer and trying to one up another while dealing with their own shitty lives and do questionable things to get ahead.

Or better yet I´d say PoE is a huge arabic Bazaar with ISIS overseeing it calling things unethical and getting you stoned for speaking the truth about the bazaar being stupid.

so you preach and preach how there are no issues when the game is filled with issues.

on another note "you get full set and all the gear you need in a day or 2 in d3" that is a flat out lie.
first of all there is ancientancients now (which is stupid) 2nd of all you may get one set completed in shitty rolls (yes rolls exist even in d3) but you srsly cant actually complete a single set that has actually good stats within a day or 2 thats dumb.

then you´ve HC chars here in poe from veterans doing shaper in day2 with cheesebuild but thats somehow very progressive and unique.

then you check those builds and they´re cookiecutter RF / totem / name it.

hmmmm powerful stuff man.

i like both games iven´t played d3 in over 2 years but i dont hate on it , gameplaywise and the combatsystem is far superior to PoEs onegem6link supporter spam movementskill garbage.

every build revolves around one AOE or everything AOE , a movementskill , cwdtsetup 1 or 2 at least , supplimentary auras.

many skills dont even funciton without links at all so the whole VARIETY goes right out the window.

nowadays even moreso since GGG decided to butcher VP GR ES builds which made melee CI builds unplayeable.
so now people play VP LIFE melee builds instead without crit back to square one.

every major patch or "balancing" GGG seems to take two steps back and one step into a random direction.

My flist used to flourish and guild used to be very active, right now i cant be positive on either objectively.
Even my casual friends that only play HC which ive known for a long time stop caring after 1-3weeks into a league.
