Now that Diablo 3 is dead, will POE deliver?

if you read the patch notes for like very patch

you see that the awesomeness is just getting started

and its already 100% awesome

Yeah... GGG keeps surprising me.... this new website is awesome, PvP is 10 times more fun that i thought it would be, and it gives me that hardcore pvp feel that most of other games seem to fail in creating. (Such as the D3 pvp when it comes out, its going to be the most nooby pvp in history of gaming.)

PvP in this game is already really epic, only problem i have with pvp right now is that you need to wait for a long time to get in a fight, but its more than worth it though.

D3 PvP is basically items vs items = gold vs gold = real money vs real money. NOTHING FUCKING ELSE!!!

PoE PvP is planning, experience, farming IN A FUN WAY unlike D3... due to all the currency items... And due to trading with other players and also because the game does not have a auction house piece of fucking shit.

PvP in path of exile has already destroyed PvP in D3, even though its not even out yet....

This game is in closed beta, and it has a insanely awesome pvp system already, while D3 has a pvp system that sucks balls, and the pvp system is not even out yet... or maybe it will never come out.

Path of exile also has pvp builds, D3 does not really have that. Im glad that summoners finaly are good in PvP. They were not too good in Diablo 2..... Basically i could make a hugeee list of just all the builds u can play and play against in pvp... 100 times as many builds as in D2. and, no im not kidding... perhaps 300 times more builds than in D3.... and the "builds" in d3 simply dont feel like builds.

Also Path of Exile will have cutthroat.... and Hardcore cutthroat...

Path of Exile owns D3 pvp in every aspect. And then i doubled that... So far i think the PvP in this game is the best pvp ever created in any game... but you dont haft to agree with me on that one though...

But u can agree that it is better for more serious gamers than it is in Noobablo 3.

D3 isn't completely dead, it's just dead compared to what D2 was.

Although I have to say I wish D3 would just disappear now :P

And to answer the title of the thread, PoE is currently my favorite game to play.

Yah even though I lost all my fights I still had lots of fun on pvp. I can't even put my finger on it, it just feels right

but yeah, on the D3 topic. I can't believe they can even get away with that. I mean isn't PvP supposed to be an included feature at launch? How is that even legal? I just don't get it.

I played like 3 hours straight only PvP. I win and lose like 50 percent each. It just feels like im playing D2 again, thats what makes it so great.

I don't get it. If you want to play D2, then why don't you... well.. play D2?

I think I may be the only gamer alive that doesn't compare games immediately to every other game.

I just ask myself one question, am I having fun? If the answer is yes I keep playing.

Not D2 then, but a real diablo-style action rpg. And D3 is not diablo-style, but PoE is diablo-style....

Another reason is that i was so sick of playing D3, (Inferno butcher runs all the time with the piece of shit repair cost patch.) that i have missed a real diablo game for sooo long, and PoE is simply a real "diablo game", and D3 is not.

Chris Wilson stated that most of the systems in this game are based on the original diablo games (1 and 2.)

And lets face it... D3 is based on WoW... like it or not i dont care... but it IS based on WoW.

And the timing of GGG just cant be better. It seems like they timed it just to own the D3 that is out now.

When the real diablo 3 from 2005 was canceled, GGG started to develop PoE in 2006, and the open beta starts like.... what is it... half a year after D3 was launched? And now they have PvP out in CLOSED beta long before Blizzard, and their game has been out since 15. May now. Its a joke.

And how is PvP in D3 not going to be nooby when the game is more simplified than in D1?, items can be purchased for real money, which means that there will be "paying to win players" that you can be unlucky enough to come up against.... I mean all I imagine when I think of D3 pvp is that it is just another part of their auction house... or a commercial for their auction house.
