Massive RIP to PoE.
" Agree 1000000%, who the fuck want the same game all over again..I want new stuff to it, then it would be unreal fun to play again, but new paint, does nothing, the game looked great as it was. love Diablo 2. |

" Well I have done just fine. I got currency tab, div card tab and map tab. I understand you can get some Qol. But I have played since D2 days, when you where forced to mule. So living without a fossil tab is not a big deal. I strongly doubt average PoE player spend 1000$. Especially not on stash tabs. Most people i know support the game from time to time because they want a new skin etc. Bobby Kotik seems like a douch yes. But the problem is far bigger then that. Ever since the merge with Activision in 2008, they have managed to slowly turn the most beloved game studio into just another greedy game company. Pretty much all of blizzards original staff has left. Poor work contitions etc...they care less about making great games their fans want and more about maximizing profit. So I have very little hopes for that company and will avoid supporting them. Last edited by WickedSausage#2727 on Feb 22, 2021, 1:15:18 PM

The one thing from D2 that PoE didn't adopt was that top tier affixes were only available on blue items, and rares couldn't get them. Kind of miss that dynamic. It made some blues worth looking for.

" I'll answer the OG qts, since the discussion went a bit OT - Empyrian and other pro RMTrs that made a living out of this pro RMT game do want another 4ex. So Rory will keep striving "providing them with a challenging content blah blah mumbo jumbo corporate lingo fill as you please". He'll keep giving RMTrs what they want so they could keep RMTing and literally live in this game, you and I will finally have a game to play at our own leisure and enjoy. Happy:)? |

" In PoE we'll never have that feeling. After like a few weeks when I started playing I realized how bad itemization is in this game. "There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds."
"The best items in the game should not be crafted, they should be TRADED." - Cent, GGG |

The thread title is stupid and click baity. But D2R will be a bigger threat on launch day than CP2077 was. If POE's league launch coincides with D2R's release I'd expect them to delay a month.
I'm not going to preorder D2R as there's no benefit to doing so. But I will play it at launch. As far as POE goes, I skipped this league and may not play at all this year. The game has become too bloated for my tastes and having to do the story every time is just old. And frankly, I'm looking forward to TBC, D2R and Total War:Warhammer 3 in addition to a backlog of excellent games. Hell, Lost Ark may release in the West and be worth a try for a few weeks. POE2 had better hit it out of the ballpark. |

" Actually, the MTX is quite relevant because I view MTX as optional beyond stash tabs. There is no leverage to force you to buy it. I don't view it as a money grab because of the lack of leverage. How much D2R costs plays a big role in whether I would pay for it or not, because if the price point is too high, I'll just view it as a shallow money grab because the work they put into it would not warrant the full price of a game IMO. At $40, I'm mixed on whether I'll buy it for the sake of nostalgia. I'll probably just wait and see if it ever goes on sale because again, I'm okay with loading D2 and playing it as is. The fresh coat of paint isn't necessary to enjoy it. Thanks for all the fish!

PSA: According to press releases so far, Diablo 2 Resurrected will not have cross-play.
Spoiler
It will have cross-progression, which means you personally can play the same characters across various platforms, and it will have cross-generational play (Ps4 and PS5 will play together, for example) but it will not have true crossplay between the platforms.
This may change at some point but I wouldn't hold my breath. Cross-play is a huge can of worms when the game you're remastering has a well-known history of being hacked to death on PC and you don't want to expose your console player base to that possibility. Not saying that's why (as usual I suspect it's a serious mess behind the scenes) but it's one consideration. 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. |
