It's new so obviously there's hype.

friggin 4 years in early access is hardly new, and it's still riddled with game breaking bugs. PoE's launch never deleted my character lmao

I hope wolcen will beat the fat ass of Poe so devs will wake up and start making poe a proper arpg and not what abomination we have right now.
Less mtx- more quality. Also anyone remembers the shitty release of Poe? Was full of bugs (still is lol). Desync was my best friend.

Sure.... its just released and a good looking game and its freshly shiny and all... what a suprise. But let us talk in a couple of months to see how the game will do on the long run...

Hmm,

i did only view a few streamers so far, but it seems to be an easy game with slow gameplay. are there any hard encounters?

this is one of those games that ppl will play once and then probably never touch it again. not really a competition for POE who has new content every 3 months

Wolcen is a decent take on ARPG blending a lot of influences from various games in the genre and bringing few of its own new components. If you ignore launch issues and inability to play online for several days, the game is in rather competent state.

It has no chance to compete with PoE if only for its business model, which will not allow independent studio to support it as extensively as GGG does with PoE.

I played Wolcen over the weekend along with PoE and while Wolcen is interesting it has very little on PoE in terms replay-ability and endgame. Leveling is also very annoying and I do not see myself repeating this over and over.

One thing I would like to point out is how Wolcen took on boss fights. Wolcen's major act bosses are definitely interesting and fresh take on boss fights in an ARPG. It is unfortunate current end-game does not get even close to act bosses.

It is new compared to PoE.

I know I'm not going to try Wolcen even if it was free. Glad some people like it though.

This tbh but there really isn't anything wrong with that either, GGG are about the only developer I can think of that puts content out fast enough for GaaS to work. The rest really can't keep up with our desire for content.

I kinda laugh at people that get super fanboy about this stuff most ARPGs are one and done, occasionally you'll play another character but it isn't like grim dawn was any different and thats a solid arpg too!

Having a great time with Wolcen so far though, love their version of ice spear GGG should steal it instead of the nasty reworked one we got.

Personally I think what Wolcen represents more than anything is there is a huge market for ARPGs that isn't satisfied, thankfully in my case I love PoE so i scratch my itch here every league.

Is wolcen have beta league also? or just normal standard server? i ll pass if league
