wait a seconds, I thought PoE is Tower Defence.

Wolcen is coming out of early access fairly soon. Hope it's good.

Last Epoch?

Has anyone played the beta? It looks gorgeous from the trailer but so does PoE (I sure wish we could get those kinds of camera views the PoE trailers show... very misleading) so I can't go by that to tell if quality of play is any good and it shows nothing about the story. GGG has a great story going for it and tons of history to back it up for total immersion. I will need much more info before I shell out $35.00 USD for another beta arpg. I get way too much of beta quality at the start of every PoE challenge league.

I have played it. I can't tell you much, though, because I don't have that much time and PoE keeps sucking that up. :D
That does not mean that it is worse than PoE, but I simply haven't managed to really get into it, yet.
What I do like about it is the skill system. Each skill has (or will have, when it is released) a skill tree that you can either use to buff a skill, but keep its mechanics the same, or dramatically change the skill's mechanics.
Unlike PoE it has real classes (because the skills you get to choose are bound to a class). The classes can be further specialized similar, rather similar to GD (I might be off here, haven't played GD a lot).
But if 35$ are too much for you for something you might not like, I'd wait until after release and watch a few streamers.
I think it has a lot of potential - we'll see how it turns out.

Oh, and it's using a "real" engine (Unity) - that seems to be important for some people. ;P

There are so many good games on the market today that sticking to PoE looks like masochism. Anyway, even the biggest fanatics leave, such as "always 40/40" :P

None of those new games coming out seem like they have the potential to be as great as PoE can though. They're all too focused on doing certain ARPG aspects well. PoE is trying to be great at every ARPG aspect and be a great all around game too.

at the moment Grim Dawn is best aRPG and Last Epoch and Wolcen seems very promising, i feel that PoE has been going down hill for a long time.

Well, except PoE is not arpg anymore. It is action shooter combined with stock market simulator (very convoluted, btw) and currently tower defense elements. Anyway, there are really many good games, but PoE fanatics do not see them, because they have to sit in their second job for eight hours a day :)

I agree. From an ARPG standpoint, Grim Dawn is without any doubt the best out there. But Wolcen looks really promising (and good, boy does it look good. and the music!). And i am pretty sure that we will get a glimpse of D4 soon. So POE has to step up quickly. And massively.

Well, it is though. regardless of how much you dislike the gameplay. It's got more action and character progression than any other game.
