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

I agree.

Once you know how PoE works, you can get mirror in week one of the league and clear whole content during 8 days and provide services and your ex pay per day skyrocket along with trade. I have been playing during quarantine for two or three weeks standard and earned 3 mirrors during leveling up to lvl 100 without focusing on trade as Sirus patch was good enough to get exalted only by playing.

In D3 it takes a lot of time and commitment to go up, while in PoE leveling is basically only thing that is time consuming and only problem is XP penalty as gear can be achieved pretty easily by trading. You can trade and do your job with PoE on background and once you have currency, you gear up and level up again.

I am talking here of course about players who know game alredy. While D3 is beginner friendly, PoE expects from you to study. I have enjoyed learning curve, but once you know it all, leveling and min max are things left.

I personally like more D3 for fun, PoE is better for min max as is much faster and easier plus to see whole screen explode at once is pretty cool.

If it takes you that long you're doing it wrong.

Its not matter of what is right or wrong. If you first clear content and focus on currency later is players choice.

How long it takes you to kill Uber Atziri, Shaper, Uber Elder and fight Sirus lvl 8 from league start? I presume you play solo not in guild.

Of course it is and you're slow which is wrong.

Yes, some things are better in D3, than in PoE [yeah some D3 haters may not believe in that].

I am amazed why nobody mentioned the one aspect where D3 simply kills PoE.

PTR

In D3 every time before the new season, there is a publicly available separate server to test all changes.
In other words, D3 has open beta every time.

Imagine Delirium tested on PTR before release. Purposeful Harbinger would be easily found. Delirium would have got its improvements before release.

It is a pity that GGG will not do the same. Or at least an access to PTR in Supporter Packs

The thing D3 does better than PoE is... boredom !

Diablo 3 has somehow devolved into a common arcade game. It belongs on a phone. Maybe that's why Diablo Immortal was the next logical step in the Diablo franchies. Diablo 4 is just a patchwork attempt after the negative response to Immortal, and it doesn't look at any better than Diablo 3. Same graphics, same child game's physics, likely the same limited build options. F for Diablo

Graphics for D4 are vastly different than D3's dude

- Optimization is better
- Animations are better
- Graphics are better
- Visceral feel of the combat, like combination of sounds, ragdoll physics, impact of the hits, etc. It's actually pretty hard to nail this, and D3 nails it.

I especially agree with these two statements. On an Ancient Spear-Boulder toss barb, it legitimately feels and LOOKS like I got mad and hucked a boulder at a group of khazra. I also have FAR fewer instances of lag, disconnects and or game freezes in d3.
