How is this different from Diablo 3?

@WAWAMELONS
I think you didn't recognize 2 things.
1.Creators of this game are not millionaires so voices and everything else will be installed it just has to be done by like 0.1% of what Blizzard has... this takes time.
2. The reason for your belief upon unbalance, is due to the fact that your finding it hard... not the rest of us.
I personally am having a ball with it on hardcore mode with melee chars. Although I must admit there is only 1 difficulty so you would want to get good at it.

There is something we could have implmented to sugar things up and thats PvP

We can go over what D3 has now and what GGG has promised. It is hard to compare a game that done to one that is still missing 50% of it's content. If GGG keeps it's promises than I think this game will be better than D3 6 months from now. However it is a new developer so who knows.

Only one thing i anticipate the most in POE, is the cutthroat league! Invade, kill or get killed. If they balance PVP (have not tried yet though), then it will be awesome.

I will still play D3, Still waiting on GW2, Still playing LOL.

I tried D3 beta... well, WoW in isometric...

I would rather have some RPG which is challengening.. not half automated causal game. This looks like the choice (even though I had only 30 mins of it with my friends acc.)
Will purchase after exam term. :)

Hu? When did D3 put in tab targeting......? O wait. They haven't. So you hit 60 and play in inferno too to know D3's difficulty?

Troll harder fanboy.

I totally agree with WAWAMELONS!

nuff said lol

- PoE is also very unbalanced -- one quick example is the viability of melee builds in merciless difficulty. You're basically required to use a very hard to get and expensive +1000 HP unique armor that only drops at the very end of the game to survive due to how unbalanced melee is compared to range. This is also something that won't be fixed easily as it would require another massive overhaul to item stats, skills, and other variables.

People say this ALL the time... But it's untrue.

I ran chaos as melee with 2.3k hp without that armor.

I would die once every couple of days, tops while going from 65-70. I think I died like twice going from 71 to 76.

For me, PoE feels more like Diablo than Diablo III does. Plus, GGG are trying to discourage gold farming rather than Blizzard's accomodation of it.
