I don't want a game to do things better.

Haven't read something so silly in a long long time.

Also POE's gone bullshit F2P crap design a long time ago.

An example? Bestiary nets. We started with permanent potion. Then the F2P gaming research on profit maximization kicked in. The result is the current trade hassle, almost no loot (good anyway), bullshit economy system, whatever crap artificially lengthen time investment requirement to complete a build (even if not fun).

23535i3443 different "nets" instead of a nice permanent "V" key. #bullshit_design_was_here_again

To each his own though.

My PoE time will drop significantly once that beta lands. Wolcen just feels so much better to play as an arpg. And thats with my love of Delve in mind. No amount of league gimmicks can compete with better mechanics. Wolcen's embrace of the basic attack button by way of weapon specific combos already puts it leaps and bounds ahead of PoE for me.

I personally like the hybrid combat system. The way you have to use rage to get umbra and umbra to get rage. You can spec more into one complete character if you want but I come from playing UO (ultimate online) and my favorite thing about that was making battle mages. The power to hit things with spells and being effective but also being able to hold your own in close quarter combat if the enemy was on top of you. I haven't played UO in 15 years so I'm betting its not even the same game anymore
