How is this game now? vs D3

For me it was the lore and story that grap me, and in compare with Diablo 3 to Path of exile in that, Diablo 3 does not hold a candel.

You really get to feel for the other exiles while you fight and help them for survivle. I was really sad when i found out that they did not follow with you to the inland like they said they would (in the story).

also the interesting characters, like the Gemling Queen or Piety

or the girl from atc 1:

"What have you become when even nightmares fear you?"

Unlike 99.9% of poe players, I played poe BEFORE I played D3.

I quit poe. Bored with it. Refusal to deal with desync and lag is ridiculous. Preferred treatment for higher supported pack players is just sad and unacceptable. They deny it of course. I think everyone knows better. If you don't, open your eyes. Even the new content doesn't interest me. Had my supported account deleted.

Playing D3 now with some Requiem. I played the hell out of D2. Now that I'm playing D3 I get a few good chuckles at the outright copying poe has done of the games. The most recent - hey D3 has critters, let's make us some critters - is so blatant they should be ashamed.

All that said I'm finding D3 much more enjoyable. It may be simpler but it runs smooth and doesn't have stupid shit like lag, desync and RNG.

I'll play D3 thru a few times and move on. Coming back to poe won't happen. Too many other games out there that know how to make a smooth modern day game. D3 likely till ESO. Fuck Poe.

you know that PoE didnt even have a quarter of the money that went into making D3 right? D3 was all hype and thats it. Good for first play through with no end game

played D3 for 1200 hours, HC selffound only (Sc only till lvl 10 for unlocking HC mode).

And i liked it most of the time..before the inferno nerfs and paragon Levels. We had a really hard time making our way through Inferno in HC prenerf...but that was fun, it was a challenge. We died and learned from it, levelled up, managed to Progress a bit more, died again, levelled up, managed to Progress and so on.
After the nerfs it all became just boring. Everyone breezed through the content and started farming on the lowest posible difficulty.

I like challenges, therefore i played HC Purist chars during my last weeks of D3 (selffound, no ah, no vendors, SOLO, mp10 only all the way till Inferno). That was fun. Scary and fun.

PoE just feels more challenging and rewarding the same time for me.

D3 is ok for a short break and to have some arcade fun. PoE is something for the long run. At least for me.

Obvious troll is obvious.

The game is ok but only you can compare it do D3 - Pick it up and give it a go it is free after all.

Obvious troll is obvious.

well, he did say that he deleted his other account, but my question is "I quit poe" "had my acc deleted" "coming back to poe won't happen" "fuck poe".....what is he doing here?

how is it vs d3? still no bright, no candy like, much skills and points diversity. poe ftw!

- No AH
- No RMAH
- A proper atmosphere for the game instead of rainbow ponies 3
- An open and varied skill tree that provides countless of viable builds and real diversity instead of the copy paste skill design in d3
- Great itemization that makes D3 seems like the true abhorrent crap that ruined the diablo legacy
- Cool uniques that don't drop with totally retarded stats and only twice a year
- Great currency model that again puts D3 to the shame it diserves (hello trilions gold exploit allowed by blizz)
- Awesome seasonal ladders (yeah blizz needed to crash and burn before they figured out these are necesary)
- PvP
- Devs actually communicating with the community instead of some incognito cm that selectively anwsers only the most irrelevant stuff and ignores the greatest issues of the game for a whole year
- Social part is great with open channels and more great stuff added like the new guild system
- Challenges with great rewards


If you don't know by now that PoE is lightyears away from D3 in terms of ....EVERYTHING its time to crawl out the rock you've been living under so far.

Path of exile
+Hundreds maybe thousands of builds
+Good atmisphere
+Complex crafting system
+Actually kind of hard (although if you stack tanky stats and grind you will only die from desync so maybe its not that hard)
+The development team is actually nice people.
-A great competitive ladder provided that you have no job, no life, and your idea of entertainment is to sit on your ass for 3 hours straight grinding ledge with an elemental clever while everyone else does the exact same thing. You could probably get a job at mcdonalds and it would be less tedious and you'd actually make some money
-99% of the builds just involve spammining 1 ability many abilities are just clones of each other with that have slightly different scaling (heavy strike, double strike, duel strike, etc)
-the game is about farming farming ledge, than farming the skeleton ruins, than farming city/docks AFTER you do that 3 times than you can actually experience the rest of the game from doing maps.
-Exprimenting with new builds require tedious grinding
-crafting is a noob trap where go broke trying to make an item you will never roll, if you actually want gear trade for it, except trading is harder since no AH
-Desync

D3
+Combat is complex with the use of multiple moves all at once. Each class has 7 different abilities that they use constantly in combat. In contrast poe is 1-2 abilities and some buffs/summons you refresh.
+Changing a build can be done in seconds instead of requiring hours of shitsocking
+You actually fucking play the levels they design instead of grinding docks
+Much better netcode you wont desync nearly as much
+Abilities are actually unique compared to each other. Freeze time as a wizard! Play as a barbarian and turn into Sasuke Uchiha! Heal your party as a monk while punching like the fist of the north star!
+Minimal desync
+Blizzard is evil and donates 50% of the profits to the klu klux klan
-Gear is less satisfying and less complicated than Netpunia.
-Animations and graphics are clearly hastily flung togeather and look laughable. There are n64 games that look better than this.
-Everything that ever made the story and setting in d2 is either killed, retconned, or forgotten
-Difficulty is a joke
-Auction house makes the game feel lonely
