Is this diablo 3 all over again?
" It is harder than PoE. But you have to take that into context. I feel like you went straight to the end of the spectrum, thinking people are proclaiming it takes more skill than being a good FPS player or Moba/RTS player. No, they just meant it was harder to play than PoE is. Its like sweeping a floor and standing there. Its not like sweeping the floor is much harder than standing there, but its still harder than standing there. I do rank D3 harder to play at an actual gameplay level than PoE. Its just hard to argue against that when most builds are 1 button spams, and some of the strongest builds in the game, ones that can do all the content, dont even require you to do much in the way of playing the game. Like RF, like Totems, like Summoners. IF you are wanting to argue that other genre's are harder than Arpgs, I 100% agree with that. I've said as much many times over the years, and I think even told you that. I dont play Arpgs to get my Esport/Competitive fix. I play them to relax. But when we compare Arpg to Arpg, in my experience, its hard to say PoE is harder to play at a gameplay level. I dont even think the theory crafting build aspect matters much anymore with how much powercreep is in the game. Builds used to be culled, and monikers like "Atziri Viable!" meant something but nowadays powercreep has made just about any skill/build/combination you can dream up 1 button mash its way to success.

" But that's not what this was about though. This was about me not believing he was top tier grifting with custom builds, which he wasn't. Then he started talking down my gaming skills. So I told him to prove his reflexes were better. It's never been about which game was harder, people keep just making it out like I'm saying that. Need a new signature, cuz name change. I dunno though. I guess this seems fine. Yeah, this is good.

" It's cute how easily triggered you are. Can't blame you though given that you argue with the emotional intelligence of a 9 year old. And you wonder why no one treats you seriously around here. Maybe you should consider posting on the console forums. They might understand you better there. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2644681 You should take your own advice as per your thread. Self realization of one own's shortcoming is the first step in growing up. I encourage you to keep on this path. Last edited by DAKKONx#3689 on Sep 21, 2019, 11:47:14 PM

" Because that's not completely irrelevant. Yeah I'm really the one who's "triggered" and arguing with the emotional intelligence of a nine year old, when you can't do anything but insult and pull up completely pointless shit. I obviously wanted that to be seen, which is why I left it. What does it prove for you? Other than you can't do anything but toss around ignorant statements and throw fits when you're confronted about them. Edit: Typos. Need a new signature, cuz name change. I dunno though. I guess this seems fine. Yeah, this is good. Last edited by LV9999Majin#9565 on Sep 21, 2019, 11:52:27 PM

" I know its tough to be called out by public opinion for who you actually are. Don't worry - you grow stronger with each failure and put down. Hopefully it's not a totally lost cause and you become a better person in the process. |

Bah, both PoE and Diablo 3 lost the ARPG feeling a long time ago. Senseless grinding just for the sake of grinding is more exacerbated in Diablo 3 than PoE at the moment (D3 went to MU level with paragon points).
Both became quite easy regarding combat, and Diablo 3 does have it's combat more fluid as long as you keep up with the "flow" of timed "nukes", while PoE has it's hectic feeling based on the "one shot RNG fiesta" both for the players and the monsters... You can talk all about the things that make them different, but in the end, they both became casual "pew-pew arcade shooters" going towards Clicker Heroes. You can't compare them these days to "old school ARPGs" which actually needed strategy and tactics (at least at times). I don't mind casualization in ARPGs, and I get why an easier game is more popular (some of us remember PoE being an unforgiving obscure "hardcore ARPG" a long, long time ago), but going bonkers on monsters being the most dangerous AFTER THEY DIED it's a lackluster solution to the power creep conundrum. Heck, I always asked players to turn on the damn "HARD MODE ON", by damage capping themselves via dual wielding RT AND a "REAL MELEE" skill, and do finish all the game content - especially Uber Atziri/Elder get substantially more difficult that way - or better yet, level to 100 by running ONLY the most difficult content (preferably on the Hardcore league for the "tryhards") => it's a PITA to never drop below max difficulty content and running suicidal mods on rare vaaled T16 is detrimental, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE, as IMHO it kinda makes PoE "HARD" again... Delving is a nice addition, but the way it's currently implemented that forces players to "cheese" their way down via ONLY EXPLOITS regarding items/mechanics/skills and/or interactions shows how shallow PoE feels, and it's about as shallow as Diablo 3 GR experience is... We all know that either of these 2 titles don't have means to properly scale content and implement REAL DIFFICULTY that forces players to LEARN, IMPROVE and ADAPT their characters, and their skillplay, as strategy and tactics are OBSOLETE when you can "nuke" your way out of 99.99% of the situations, and if you're lucky, you just "flee" the remaining 0.01%... Both PoE and D3 need to "git gud & up to snuff" especially regarding said aspect, as players would want a "proper" solution implemented in D4 and PoE 4.0/5.0 sequels... PSS: Our almighty TencentGGG overlords are very scrupulous regarding criticizing their abilities to take proper decisions and consider everything "needlessly harsh and condescending"... Good to know "free speech" doesn't apply in any form or manner on the forums these days... Last edited by sofocle10000#6408 on Sep 22, 2019, 12:17:42 AM

" GG. Why don't ya go theory craft some area damage or crit chance onto some gloves. Need a new signature, cuz name change. I dunno though. I guess this seems fine. Yeah, this is good.

Paragon levels would fix PoE. After you get 100 you have no reason from playing a effective build and everyone just goes full dps.
There's also no repair system so people can just abuse the portals. So all you really end up having is playing the economy, and plowing maps. And if you want to get anywhere on your character, you are better off mowing monsters down like weeds and just collecting pennies of the ground as fast as possible than any meaningful item hunting.

You would be surprised how different diablo 2 lod endgame is. Finish game in hell and see how you will run in fear from so many different scenarios. You will gear up with +1 items eventually..it wont mean jack sht. You will kill mobs faster but you wont be tanky. They will destroy you as easily if you are not careful.
Almost all areas have deadly mobs in there. Freezing rangers that fast - you dead in few seconds. Deadly minotaurs who would whoop you if they notice - check. Exploding bone friends - check. Just try diablo 2.. i assure there will be so much difficult and yet enjoyable game experience, like no poe gave you. I dislike rarity so much im almost quitting poe2. GGG.
