I agree, the hate for d3 on this forum is actually strange. it is so strong. Its like they play POE just to spite d3. They will buy the exp, no matter how much they say they wont, because its going to deliver. POE like I said is less rewarding the d3, and also relys heavy on trading, The fact that trading is a pain in the ass, and the ah is easy to use dosent make trading better then the ah, its just a pain in the ass, but thats what the community seems to want here everything to be a pain. Good have at it


Please make sure your speaking for yourself and not others. I find PoE more rewarding simply because I can make my own characters. I found the lauded customization in D3 to be really bad and just as bad was how they handled the uniques which had to be severely overhauled and will be overhauled again in the future because they aren't even that unique now. Trading is a pain in PoE right now but at least it will get better soon, AH will always be horrible.

Don't reason with the "D3-Hater"-Haters, man.
They don't even appoint most of the points brought up.

However they know how D3 will be next year with their crystal ball magic.
technically
i´m the only person allowed to hate on D3
and maybe some others that haven´t bought it.

theoretical
that however makes you guys who spam in D3-threads to Trolls.


+1 iamstryker:
Stop speaking for others.
Or is this expansion a standalone version ???
Maybe i´ll consider buying it, if it is.

It's not like we are hating on D3. But when they say that D3 is better than PoE, then we have to respond, because that is outright lying :p

D3 is worth the $60 that is for sure, but it's not what it should have been, and PoE is just a better game. No hating, just truth.

dont worry man.

all those d3 haters here are gonna be the first trying out the new d3 when its released.
they're just jealous and angry that soon there is no diablo3 left for them to bash, because it will be so much better then poe.

and while half of the world will return to d3 they will dwell in path of exile with a couple of hundret players ... until they will realize that poe is shit and silently will also return to d3, but they will never tell anyone or admit it openly ...


A D3 fanboy's wet dream. Sadly not happening bro.

P.S.: Still mad.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
It would need to make it seem much more customisable to capture my attention,something on the level that LOD did for D2.

Seriously, people need to quit fucking crying over D3 even though they spent 100+ hours playing the fucking game.


What exactly was I supposed to do? Wait 10 years for the game pay the money for it and then once I saw a few flaws immediately take it out and throw it away? Thats retarded. I did what most everyone else did. I took one character to the end game where I did some inferno grinding until I realized how stupidly bored I was and how the game had no point and no meat to it at all. After looking at Path of Exile I saw everything that I was missing out on and decided not to waste my time endlessly grinding for nothing at all.

Did I play 100 hours? Ya probably but I wish I didn't. I didn't wait 10 years and hype myself up to get bored after making one character and be in denial that the game was severely flawed and not at all what I had been waiting on.

GGG has not done the same exact thing? POE has been in development for nearly 8 years and still has the absolute worst desync in the history of gaming. GGG is compiling small fixes, adding worthless microtransactions, and working on finishing Act 3 while doing nothing to improve desync. You being disappointed by D3 after putting in 250+ hours is fucking laughable. Way to jump on the bandwagon of a game that is no better.


If you can't stand the desynch you shouldn't be playing at all since the devs have been very transparent that it will never really be "fixed". You can't compare the fixes GGG has made as a very small studio in their FREE to play game to Diablo 3 which SHOULD HAVE BEEN FINISHED AT RELEASE AND NOT A BETA.

Path of Exile is infinitely better in my opinion.

Based on what has been announced, unless the expansion is damn cheap(which it won't be), I'm probably not going to bother.

From what I've read of loot 2.0, blizzard is completely clueless as to why the loot sucks so fucking much. It has only a little bit to do with the frequency of upgrades and shittiness of legendaries, which seems to be their only focus. A lot of it has to do with the fact that none of your choices in d3 matter at all. It doesn't matter if you use a sword, axe, or mace, it doesn't matter if it's poison damage, fire damage or lightning damage, all you want is more dps more crit more main stat. Snore. And not to mention the AH that they outright refuse to remove, even though it has had absolutely disastrous effects on the economy and the overall gameplay experience. As long as the AH exists, the most efficient way to play the game by a massive margin will be to play the AH, and their solution is of course to adapt even more garbage MMO elements with this stupid "account bound" shit.

And still, there's absolutely no reason to make another character. There's no reason to have any sort of investment in your character because of how diluted/nonexistent/total shit the RPG elements in D3 are. The expansion pack just looks to be more of the same action-adventure WoWablo.

Maybe they'll announce significantly more radical changes later, but I'm not impressed so far, and obviously very cynical after getting burned the first time around.

Thankfully there are alternatives.

This sums it up sooo well. And of course, they also went the WoW-route in terms of level cap and items.
Pre Reaper of Souls: Everything below level 60 is worthless crap that won't get you anywhere.
Post Reaper of Souls: Every item you found so far will be worthless crap that can be replaced by level 70 white items.
Already seen screenshots with 3k dps weapons, D3x going to be another Reaper of Wallets.

D3 was the biggest disappointment I had in my gaming career, and that after waiting over 10 years. :(

No I didn't. I made several points and tried to introduce reason to someone without any.

Now that person isn't apart of the conversation anymore for obvious reasons, it is now a waste of time. Nice try though
