Name a ARPG better than PoE

I know a question like this will elicit a million+ different responses because we all have a different "Goldilocks" vision of the ideal arpg. So my stating I liked the Titan Quest series of arpgs, and especially with the mod "Titan Quest – Lilith The Will of Demon : Battles of Jalavia" that expands TQIT in major ways is no better or worse than any other personal view of a better arpg than PoE. It does things differently than PoE and because of that makes everything an "apples to oranges" type of comparison. Same as trying to compare PoE to Grim Dawn to Torchlight to Wolcen to D2 or D3, etc. Each has pluses and minuses that make any discussion impossible to get a consensus.

But I_No is probably just bored with Harvest (or flat out hates it and isn't playing right now) and is looking for some diversion until the end of September and hopefully a better next league mechanic.
"You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

I dont see this anology,

They all have/are:

Gothic Estetic
Medievil Estetic
Low Fantasy Estetic
Demonic and Eldritch Horror Antagonist
Human protagonist
Same Gameplay pacing
Same Kamera
Same Arpg Structure
Quest
Act
Level
Gear
Procedural Generation
Almost Identical Difficulty
No Verticality

Fixed the superfluous apostrophes. Please remove them from your post as well. That's painful to behold. :P

Tend to agree with this. PoE has become more of a brand right now, since it filled a void for a few years when D3 was dead. Now PoE has become a corpse, but we still cling to it because we loved it for so long and it is hard to let go. But the process has started.

And that's why they are making PoE2. They know the game needs to evolve or will die eventually.

POE2 is the name of the new 7 act campaign.
The base game will still be the same with 4.0 when the reworked skill gem system and new acts are active.

Not sure why they released a new campaign instead of making a true successor with no legacy clutter.
But i guess the MTX dependency is too important to ignore so they settled with a okayish middleground.

i play Last Epoch atm, i dont know if its better than POE since i havent reached the end game yet but the crafting , skill leveling and masteries hooked me.
I stoped playing the league when i see streamers getting back to back tier one rolls and i was on roll number 17 remove defence add defence with nothing but tier 5+ rolls....so i dont bother anymore.

This game looks decent, but there is nothing that i hate more then early access. I just cant stand it and will never support the developers with early access game. Especially when the game is in early access for years...
