A few random thoughts from a short 30 days of playing, not all inclusive: Pros 1. no trade required to access content. 2. much, much less content hidden behind RNG. 3. no over-the-top battle special effects that kill a video card. 4. did I mention no trade required to access content? 5. 18 levels of difficulty, selectable at the start of each session. 6. attainable league (season) challenges not dependent on RNG and/or trade. Cons 1. much less build complexity than POE. Gotta love the skill tree and gems. 2. area graphics are not as exciting as POE (remember, this is a subjective review) 3. gotta buy the game to play. 4. seasons only last 2 months.

Honestly the nr 1 con is also POE's greatest weakness since you cannot really make a lot of viable unique builds due to the constant need to stack over the top defense as well as have 3-5 defensive mechanisms minimum to do well.

Early access demo for Anthem was going on over the weekend for myself, but trade activity does usually die down closer to the end of a League so I'd say multiple factors.	Posted by KalAthar#4365 on Jan 28, 2019, 6:47:55 PM Quote this Post
We are just chilling and bombing at discord chat and in voice channels. No one really playing poe just because league turned to be bland boring and shallow + high prohibited delve, plus angrifying "new" daylies for many.. Also many of our guildmates will play more if there were more sulphite and fossil/resonator stacking, but alas. So why wonder.	Posted by DarkJen#6961 on Jan 28, 2019, 6:58:00 PM Quote this Post

Diablo 3 has infinite scaling in the difficulty through GRs. Unfortunately, it ends up being an infinite GR simulator as well since there is nothing else the game offers.	Posted by TitaniumGene#3685 on Jan 29, 2019, 10:46:44 AM Quote this Post
