Tried D3 again after awhile and I noticed something it does better than POE

oh man ....

diablo3 is a game maden for casual players, those who think in modern way " i want it now" "and i want it quick"

for sure diablo3 is the worst game i ever played in all my life,you don't have to make an effort for anything, players reach level 70 in 5 min, a rough standardized game, and from what I'm seeing, PoE is going the same way.
defaults to a league build.

the end of my strory with blizzard was that i quit playing, i made a requeriment to delete my acc, i just sent my ID and done. i have no link or any bond with blizzard, and i wasnt wrong, look how is things going for blizzard in there recent days :). yea.... i was right in my posts on that pathetic forum.

i played for almost 5 years, and i only droped 1 mirror, indeed i have 6 active char in game, and i play with all of them, doing any game content, well equiped and strong, and 33ex in stash.

a point here !!!! there is a lot of players who buy currency with money in PoE, just yesterday I was talking to a person in the global chat, the guy said that he has 2 months of play already has 500 ex, beside insane gear, it is not much different from bot.


i played legitly in these 5 years, and am happy with PoE very much, but latley i noticed that PoE is becoming in certain aspects like diablo3, it is not the same game i started to play few years ago. and sadly it is not better now.

"modern ways" are not always good, sometimes you must hold fast "the roots", and never give up on the essence or the spirit of the thing what ever it is.

people abandoned diablo3 and came to poe for game variations builds, gears, currency...etc etc. GGG is trying to "modernize it" to attrack casual players, and they incredbly succeed, now a days we have herald build, and bot offering currency for real money, as diablo3, poe becomes the paradise of casual... i do understand the importance of money, but Path of Exile, is slowly losin it original essence.

i hope they considre it....

Greetings,

First thing first: POE overall is WAY better than D3. GGG team has a great communication process with the community and it makes players "forget" some of the bad stuff in POE.

Having said that, D3 has 3 1/2 things that are majorly better than POE:

1 - Game integration: story line avoidance, bounties, rifts and greater rifts.

2 - Kanai's cube. They found a way to give value to a bunch of useless uniques AND gave some flexibility to their very limited builds. I greatly wish POE had a system like that.

3 - Team play. I really really really wish team play would be as available and fun in POE.

3 1/2 - The goblins. I miss the excitation of the goblin packs. POE has nothing as exciting as that.

Thank you

((((( RIFT AND GREATER RIFT )))))) no no no !!!!! not here !!!! we have enough bots !! we have variation of maps to do .... no ty!!! if you love repetition... u know where to go.

You started playing after 2.1 and haven't played in a while. It's not like that. Getting a character properly geared in D3 (playing solo) takes about the same amount of time as getting a character fairly built in this in SSF. There's also a really good amount of ways to build your character now too.

It takes longer to get properly geared in D3 than it does in PoE. For whatever reason, people equate getting geared in D3 to being map ready in PoE. Thats the equivalent of getting your first set going.

I personally, since I trade, find it easier to get geared in PoE. I just do. I can be basically end-game geared the first week of a league. Doing red maps, killing bosses, doing it all. I might not have top of the line min/maxed gear with HH yet, or maybe I do, but thats the truth.

I dont play D3 much anymore, but I think people really go overboard in their complaints about D3. D3 is shallow. D3 is old. Those are the 2 biggest issues with D3. When we start talking about gearing, and gameplay, and various other things, its pretty apparent when people are basically talking out of their asses on the subject. Getting properly geared in D3, with ancients and decent augments, takes far longer than it does in PoE becuase of the ability to trade. Perhaps not SSF, but if we are comparing what most people play, its much easier to hit maps and trade for the gear I need to basically run end-gear content, than it is to having ancient gear + augments.

People really put PoE up on this pedestal for some reason on things that I dont believe its actually that much superior with. Getting geared seems to be one people continually like to bring up, but theres no way they really played D3, and I even question them playing PoE if they think gearing is hard in PoE. If you are actually playing the game, you basically have your character nearly maxed out the first few days to a week of a league.

You can easily be in t16 in 24 hours in diablo3. Good luck with that in poe.

I'm guessing then that you haven't played many games, or that you've been fairly lucky. Diablo 3 isn't a great game, but it's not particularly bad either, and there have been some games out there that really are bad. We had a copy of ET The Extra Terrestrial when I was a kid. Now that was a bad game.

Could not have said it better myself.

This at the end of the day is a POE forum so the views here would be severely tilted to POE's favour. Look at D3 General Discussion forums and see the hate for POE.

I have played both games extensively. Each has their merits. There are some areas that POE dominates (crafting / items / leagues) and others where D3 is simply better (ladders / group games).

It is actually time consuming and hard to make a truly end game character in D3 (and by end game its not maps / T10). Those that say otherwise likely have no exposure to GRift pushing and the exhilaration when you climb and top ladder rankings. You actually need teamspeak / discord to properly tackle the group end game content in D3 as there are elements of DPS / Support / Heals where tight coordination is required. POE is a great single player game. There however are minimal-to-zero instances in which you need to have a group to clear content even at the hardest levels.

That's just objectively false. To get the best possible gear in path of exile, you need more than a leagues worth of currency for full mirrored gear, and even then you can always improve it. To get the best possible gear in d3, you just need a primal/perfect ancient of each specific item with the correct couple stats, which is far more common given the "smart loot" crap they introduced with RoS (theres only a few actual variations any unique/set can have in d3, and rares dont exist.) I can be fully geared with full ancients of the correct slot with lvl 100 augs in d3 in like a day if I were to play with people, which is the equivalent of extremely expensive but not mirrored gear in poe. The only way to get that level of gear progression so rapidly in poe is to be a wallet warrior.

diablo1
diablo2
diablo3
heroes of might and magic 1,2,3 and 4

maybe this is enough, i just mentioned there, games that i spent more time playing, diablo3 is worst ever i experience in all my life time playing, all things in hack and slash game are good, until devloper make it standard to go far in game, in diablo3 there is not other way to play, indeed u just put the damn set and go, u cant play with own build, or use the gear that you wish. horrible.
