My recap of PoE vs D4 and why even still PoE is unmatched

D4 plays pretty good. Zero server issues is the biggest up for me atm. GGG you need to step your server game. Blizz is making you look really bad.

Will consider grabbing it when it's on sale for 20$... 70$ for this game?, LoL nope.

My thoughts exactly. After a few years, some season passes, maybe is worth a 20 on a future sale. The enemy level scaling alone is enough reason to make me not interested, not to mention all the other red flags, the main one being it's made by this shady company that used to be Blizzard.

People really thought the game could compete I'm so fascinated by that yo yo where is that d4 guy

Playing diablo 4 and having a blast, not giving a damn about people on POE forums =))

Yet, here you are :)

I explained why I am here...would not bother you if I wasn't banned on blizz forums

D4 is refreshing but doesn't itch the same way as PoE does for me.

PoE atm is already better than D4 for me.
-It will never have a wild variety of builds to try out.
-It will never have that complexity in solving the gearing/crafting of your character.
-It will never offer me as much strats to make currencies.
-It will never have that level of customisation that PoE offer.

But most importantly:
-It will never be Path of Exile


Both games are good. I just feel like D4 doesn't target me as their audience because I play too much to enjoy D4 on the long term while PoE give a never ending experience.

One of the reasons why I would rate story of D4 10/10

I wrote entire post on reddit. I would like you to read and watch it, if you don't care for spoiling. Share your thoughts ofc.

I would really like to see something of this quality in PoE, although I'm aware GGG prob can't afford cutscenes like this one.
Game story is written so well that instead of skipping it, you want to know more, see more and then repeat everything. It embosses in your experience of the game, so the game isn't just numbers in the end.
Way of delivery of lore/story doesn't have to be giga expensive to lay it down effectively to the audience. Books of Lorath did fantastic job of that.
But is has to be well written and executed. It doesn't have to be a 1000 pages long either.

I only disagree with Lore and the campaign
It works exactly like Lost Ark -
Both end at lvl 50
Lore is very repetitive and boring, in the case of Diablo it is exactly the same story as in 3 - We even have Leah 2.0 and Malthael 2.0 being Inarius this time. In the expansion it is sure that they will release the same ending as in 3 but now Diablo will be the final boss... wow what a surprise.

World Boss and Dungeons - Similar to what we have in Lost Ark, Raides, boss fights and Chaos dungeons.

There is even the Mokoko hunt with altar to gain some status that may not even make a difference in the end.

The whole hype is being made because we do not have any similar archetype for years, besides other small companies trying to deploy something like Torchlight, GrimDawn among others.

Look at the poe 2 gameplay and see the huge difference we will get when the release occurs, D4 will not even come close to competing with this.

How did you make this conclusion is beyond me.
Story of D4 is completely different from everything ever in Diablo universe.
Did you even understood what is it about?

Gotta love the "you didn't like it cuz you didn't get it"

D4 is way more similar to Lost Ark than to PoE. And Lost Ark is dogshit

Where are some users scores when you really need them because currently every thread on D4 is a 'whine' thread.
