-Skills can be linked like in Poe but every skill can have random amount of links and colors , so if you're unlucky you only get a 1-2 link fireball with shitty colors instead.

That sounds exactly like what's the plan for PoE 2.

Lmao my friend started the demo yesterday and within an hour came back and just said too Korean.

Some people will love it but its not going to be a PoE killer.

Korean games ? … Nay

Whenever any ARPG comes out... there is a thread popping up "XYZ"- The PoE Killer... well. looks like PoE should have been killed a few dozen times by now...
But: Still alive and kicking.. seems like PoE isn't doing everything wrong ..

Played 8 hours or so of the demo, it's exactly as you'd expect from a P2W mobile port. Small linear levels, bad story and voiceovers, dreadful UI etc. Itemization and talent tree are really bland & generic. The graphics are a bit better than you'd expect though, I don't think they are a straight port from the mobile version.

The skill system is about the only interesting thing and it will be more annoying than POE to fully optimize. Not only will you need 6 slots on your skill rune with the right colours but also they need to be placed in the right positions in a hexagonal shape to allow for optimal linking to their supports. You level them up with currency that drops, at the start it's quick but gets progressively slower as you need more currency to level but the drop rate doesn't increase. I can imagine you'll get to a point where you either grind for weeks to further upgrade the skill runes or just buy the currency from the shop. The shop is locked at the moment but from what you can see you'll need to pay to trade on the AH as it uses a special currency purchasable with real money, pay once per week for pet autoloot functionality, pay to make crafting potions & elixirs less painful as well as the expected cosmetics & stash capacity upgrades. The Korean version you can buy the currency to craft your runes as well as gear, I expect that to be in this version once the shop is fully operational.

I expect there will be a point where you can't really progress without paying. Of course you could play for free until then but if the game isn't really that interesting seems like a bit of a pointless exercise.

Like Lost Ark? lol

Ha, Pheons, guess all the shot the game will get from me might well be logging in, checking the cash shop, and uninstalling it.

While it looks good, there has been absolutely no mention of its monetisation from what I have seen, which leads me to believe it'll be absolutely p2w with obscene costs.
