Hey Exorzist, want to be the villain in the third mooned saga? I already too far into the second to put you in meaningfully, but the Third: Revenge of the Mooned, is just forming in my head.


And stop interrupting the discussion about my diabetes please.

Because the chances are way higher that Blizzard will deliver with RoS what they have promised. And looking at all the footage and infos we got so far confirms that RoS, together with loot 2.0, paragon 2.0, loot runs, nephalem trials (and probably also will ladders) will enhance vanilla d3 so drastically that d3 will be a totally new experience. just like LoD was for d2. why I am so sure? the release of RoS is at least 6 months away. probably even more.

but PoE's so called "release" is only one month away.

and lets be honest here. since poe hit open beta, nothing really changed in this game. yes, they added a few skills here and there. and some (useless) uniques. some new race types. changed the skill tree n stuff. but the core problems werent adressed. not even until today.

everybody praises the skilltree being the #1 factor for so many players to play poe. but lets be honest here, too. yeah the skilltree looks amazing at first. but at a second look everybody tries to copy established builds. so in the end, everybody plays a build which has already been successful. or do you know somebody who uses all block nodes? what about the 4x 10% armor nodes next to vaal pact? anybody playing with swords and took sword nodes?

and what about life vs ES? its still unbalanced. for over one year. most of the new skills are totally uselss as some of them actually supports dsynch. and dont let me start on dsync. its still not fixed ... what about crafting in poe? its totally a waste of time and currency. you are better of trading. too much RNG going down in crafting. too many people frustrated.

what about melee? its still not viable compared to ranged ...

so the main question is. do you really believe that after release of poe all those things will be fixed with just one month left, when they couldnt fix it for over one year? probably not.

but what about d3? blizz already fixed A LOT of their problems. GGG didnt fix any of those mentioned above. and blizz has more than 6 months left to adress the rest of the d3 problems.

poe has only one month ..

in the end ... i believe the chances are higher that blizz will fix their game and GGG will not. maybe another year from now GGG will be able to fix them, but then again, the game will be dead by then 100% because the problems mentioned above are the main concerns why people leave ...
