Lost Ark is quest runner, POE is a mobb smasher, they don't even play similar

Both games are different, Poe is honest, GGG's marketing speech also is about this.

Pardon me. But I can not agree with you on this. GGG had shown time and again they just care about hype and hype for new league on release. Did you forget about the recent hidden nerfs disguising as buffs?

At the end of the day, all companies care about their bottom line. So don't pretend GGG is any different.

Nothing was ever hidden. It was all in the patch notes you just don't read. Anyone looking at the patches adjusting for Masteries (I'm 100% sure that's what you're talking about because of the fact using more Allocation Points is what you are referring to) could figure this out and GGG even briefed us on it, saying that while the Masteries would cost Allocation points, they were buffing nodes around them to compensate. And they did. Massively. Pure Life nodes for 4% became 5% nodes that also give 3% ES or 4% ES. They added 2 more flat Life Nodes. They added more damage nodes, and increased the per node damage.

Also, you're not required to take Masteries. It's a choice.

We've never had greater access to ES builds or high life builds and damage than we do now. It's only a nerf if you try to traditionally build like a build 6 leagues out of date.

GGG puts it all out there. You as a Reader just have a problem reading it all.

Lost Ark is a que simulator, it's not even a game, they're reeling you in with waifus and P2W packages just to slap you into a que where they crypto-slave your rig while it's waiting for hours.

Steam throttles DL at 5 MB/sec, and actively guzzles RAM. Hence why I use my Control Center for POE vs playing some laggy third party Steam for it.

Dl, as downloading games? If so your ISP might be the cause or has a sucky peering with Steam's network. If you mean for gameplay, online game in average for client-server communication need around 1MB/s. Only games that stream textures use/require more dl speed.


Steam from my home late afternoon, early evening last Thursday.


Their overlay is a complete mess in the other hand. super buggy with some games.

Here's another take for you:

When has GGG ever actually held over or cut a league short for a significant period to match or avoid a game release? NEVER.

They delayed a league to avoid CP2077 after suffering greatly from competing with WOW classic ...

Chris has already explained that they can't really afford to have that happen yet he did.

Obviously POE has a faster / more entertaining new player experience.

In what universe? Please.

How about we just let the millions and millions enjoy LA, and the remaining few thousand can grind terrible loot in whatever gated maps they have unlocked here in PoE.

I quit POE, and I'm only here after seeing some reddit posts about POE forums talking about lost ark.

I still feel that POE is the best when it's about "Character reactivity".
I don't know how to call it, but I've never played something as satisfying as POE when it comes to characters animations. It feels like it's very reactive and fast and that's the best part.

But after years, it felt just like an addiction. I was telling myself, coping with this addiction each league by saying "still sane exile?" was a cool thing.

But now I'm over it. I decided to not play this league, and my friends started the league so I still tried it, but once Lost ark was out, I knew I'll leave this game for good.

Maybe I'll try POE 2.0 and see how things goes.

POE had one of the best communities ever. I still love POE people, forever.
