Whoops, that is actually what I meant; not that you were murdered by the GIF. Hah. I liked his movies quite a bit.

PoE is a game for people who like theorycrafting and customizing builds. PoE also approaches "chase" for items or content very good.
PoEs biggest weakness is the gameplay, which basically is non-existant.

If you prefer theorycrafting and grinding to craete a character that "breaks the game", PoE is better suited for you. That's in essence what PoE is about, creating a build that eventually becomes so powerful that you're an unkillable Aura of death that oneshots everything within 2 screens of your character.

If you prefer intricate combat mechanics and abillity usage, a better crafted campaign and story, better graphics, a more immersive world and PvP et.c. Diablo4 will be the game for you. We don't yet know how the D4 endgame will pan out, but it's probably safe to assume that things like crafting either will be very limited or non existant and itemization probably will boil down to farming the same items over and over again, but with slightly better rolls.

PoE is one of my favorite games, and hopefully Diablo4 will be too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I think Blizzard will be able to pull this off down the line. D4 release will probably be very exciting just because it's a new game that isn't solved yet. Whether Blizzard will be able to add meaningful content and system updates each new season will be the true test to see whether they'll expand upon the depth of the endgame.

I played the open beta as well. I found it boring at first, but I think that's the necro being over tuned and made the game a joke, it's very strong. Sorc was fun, barb was okay, rogue was meh and druid I didn't feel was worth my time.

The big thing that's gonna keep me away is the builder/spender style of gameplay. Every class is this way, with some just starting at 0 and others starting at full.

I agree. People participating on the forums of a game they're fan of. It's preposterous.

Indeed. What's more outrageous is the dozen of recent post discussing exclusively the game this forum is about and how to improve it. Now that is how a forum should not work!
