D3 is the evolution of D2. Evolution means streamlining and making things, as a whole, much easier. Does this make it bad or worse then PoE in anything other then one's opinion? No. This is where sub-genres come into play.
PoE is D2 improved. It doesn't signifigantly veer away from D2's overall system of operation and general feel, but improves and adds to it.
PoE is much more diablo-esque then diablo 3 is. Now, before you flame me, ask yourself is this a BAD thing. I don't think it is. Blizzard makes great games (With the exclusion of WoW, horrendous juggernaut that strangles all MMO's with its bland-ness and overall boredom, but I digress)
IMO, the only thing I think Diablo 3 has thats better then this game, is the time and money they sunk into it, and the lore. I vastly prefer PoE to Diablo 3. However, I may end up playing more D3 then PoE simply becuase all my friends will be. I think honestly, if PoE and Diablo 3 had equivalent resources however, that PoE would be much better.

I feel like a lot of the design resources for D3 seem to have been squandered by constantly remaking systems. The core skills seem great, but the itemization appears really shallow so far (probably especially since they have removed runes from it). They won't be able to rely on the staples of D2s itemization, like + skill levels, mana management, etc. Also, the game seems to have a lot of oddities, like even allowing monks or Demon Hunters to equip various melee weapons which they will never use. At least their art resources have all gone to good use.

DAMNIT why didn't you post this sagacious wisdom a few weeks ago?!?!!
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.

Diablo 3 is WoW 1.5 as some1 write already in his blog & he have some comparison screen shots to prove that:
For some retarded blind Blizz fan-boys who r so blind that cant see how horrible the new D3 looks take a glimpse at this pic in case u forgot how a true-dark-gothic game must look like that's how D2 was
And that's how PoE looks, what looks more dark & gothic to u? D3 with its cartoonish bulk graphics & washed out colors or this?
Blizz fail to deliver just with looks alone & that's more than enough to kill/ruin the mood for thousands of hardcore D1,2 fans & make them to not even bother with this ridiculous game that Blizz want to name successor of the Diablo series, that's not evolution as they call it that's a retarded piece of shit & utter garbage, the only ppl that might appeal to is WoW fan boys &/or ppl that never play the old Diablo games before, & even if some1 set aside the horrible WoW graphics what about the "no character-builds anymore" & the "u get everything at lvl up and u can use freely any skill u want" over-casual-friendly attitude that forgives all the brainless ppl that cant think a specific build for themselves & stick to it?
D3 is Diablo as much FFXIII is Final Fantasy, if that's what some of u looking for to play go stick to some D3 site and dont come here argue with any1 that say he like/prefer PoE much more than D3 and try to proselytize them, & as for some ppl who prefer D3 & have beta access for PoE try to remember what u saw here & when u start playing D3 if u think even for a moment "yes that's how a true dark Gothic ARPG must look like.." then u r obviously clowns & u r kidding your selves.

LMAO at those screen shot comparisons. Trying too hard much?
There's nothing in your post but an endless angry rant. Try using a period from time to time. That's got to be the longest run on sentence I've ever seen.

How can you even make such a claim? No one has seen end game yet. The items listed on the website are a tiny fraction of whats available in game (and Legendaries don't even have their stats listed). The beta only provides 13 levels of the first 3rd of Act 1.
Why can't they rely on those staples? Making baseless opinions as fact once again.
