Now that Diablo 3 is dead, will POE deliver?

You've obviously never played WoW. The two games aren't even remotely similar.

lol? Its soooooooooo much like wow omg. I putted a fair amount of hours into WoW, and D3 definetly seems sooo much similar to WoW in my experience, but D3 has dumbed WoW mechanics ever further down.

And again my little list shows the main things that WoW and D3 have in common.

D3 Defitnetly has more in common with WoW than it has with D2. I struggle to figure out things that D3 has in common with D2. The only 2 things i can think of is the Stash (Which sucks because you need 2 pay gold to a fucking empty chest in order to use it. WTF?) and the Diablo name... (Monsters like fallen, the butcher, certain unique items. Unfortunately most of that stuff sux.) And of course the way you visualy use your character to kill monsters... But the graphics are like WoW. Skilltree is like WoW, only dumbed down even further...



Chat looks like WoW aswell.

I can understand that WoW is a much bigger game than D3, but that just means that D3 is a dumbed down version of WoW.

It has the diablo name, but the gameplay is more similar to wow than to D2. But the WoW gameplay is also dumbed down.

They wanted to make a game that ALL DIABLO AND ALL WOW FANS WOULD BUY, resulting in a shitty dumbed down combination of both games that sucks for both wow fans, but sucks even more for Diablo fans. So the only thing we really have left to play D3 is bots and farmers.

After all, the game supports bots and farmers alot.

Hardcore games for everyone is what Blizzard does???... More like noob ass games for all noobs is what Blizzard does? Mention one thing that is hardcore in D3 please. Not counting the hardcore game mode...

D2 was kinda hardcore. You had to plan and think in that game, not just kill butcher 193210391 times.

After all, D3 is all about running the area that has the most gold find over and over and over and over and over and over again... untill you get bored. This is why bots work so well in this game, and why the game is desinged for RMAH. Paragon levels were then added because bots would obviously get in paragon levels much faster than normal players, meaning that adding paragon levels helped bots so that Blizzard could get EVEN MORE money.

Paragon levels were not added for players to have fun, they were added so that Blizzard could get more money.

Blizzard is damn good at hiding their actual intentions to the casual player by lying on both forums, website and Blizzcons. Also Jay Wilson interviews a little bit.

I think that's a new low in your D3 hate Fireskull... OMGWTF D3 and WoW have some UI stuff in common!!11!

NO its not something new, its just that the list to why D3 sucks is so long that i cant remmember them all at the same time.

Dont forget things like how potions in D3 sucks. SERIOUSLY why was the potion system made that bad? One dumb potion with a cooldown on it. Also dumbed down since diablo 1. (BTW the potions look like WoW.) How shrines in D3 sucks. Also dumbed down since diablo 1. Quest rewards also suck compared to diablo 1. All you get is EXP and gold. (Also much like in WoW, only dumbed down even more.) Unique items are also dumbed down since diablo 1. Set items suck compared to Diablo 2, and since nothing drops in D3 why even bother looking for a set... just buy it with real money... Why bother boring youself to death farming gold for it. In D3 you can either bore yourself to death by not paying real money, or you can pay them with real money just to figure out that you are a stupid goddamn DUMBASS... Or maybe you have nothing to spent your real money on i quess..?

Of course, you could also allways start to use a bot, since Blizzard loves players who hack their game apparently... Why did they make it online only then? Thats retarded.

There are a lot really solid reasons why to hate on D3. The UI or anything like that are the least of its problems.

People like Fire and myself should really just focus on how great POE is, i'm tired of thinking about how much D3 failed. It makes me sad. Thinking about POE makes me happy.

Fire it doesnt matter if blizzard releases 3 big expansions in the next 2 years. D3 still won't be half as good as it should be or compared to Path of Exile. Blizzard has lost its focus, they are terrible. Thank God for companies like GGG.

I'm praying that open beta brings in a ton of players. This game deserves to be relatively popular and not super tiny in population. I hope GGG makes a ton of money and therefore has more motivation to continue making big improvements to POE for the next 10-15 years at least.

The funny thing is that they are making sooo much money even though D3 sucks so badly. No matter how shitty their games will be, they will still get much more money compared to other companies. Even though their forum mods are just there to annoy people or ban them for "being racist" for reporting dupping or for "trolling" if you write about PoE on d3 forums. No matter how fucktarded their forum mods will behave, and no matter how many bots will spam friend invites to random players, and no matter how their website has a bot on their top 10 spamming gold website or some other crap, and no matter how PvP sucks, and how pvp will never come out, and no matter how the game is desgined for only RMAH, and no matter how the game was DUMBED DOWN EVEN MORE since 2008, and no matter how much Jay Wilson lies on Blizzcons, and no matter how Jay Wilson said fck that loser to Brevik, and no matter how stuff is being nerfed or buffed just to make people angry, and no matter how the game is online only for no reason (Game is hacked SO HORRIBLY even though it is online only), and no matter that the game uses the same graphics as wow, it will still be much more popular than PoE.

It is sad, sad and SAD.

Because they thought that the usual potion spam is not a very fun nor interesting mechanic for keeping yourself alive, I happen to agree with that.
It's not really about comparing the potion systems, because then you miss the point completely. You have to compare the "staying alive" mechanics and systems, and to say that D33 has dumbed that down compared to D1 is ridiculous.

In D1, there were mana potions, rej potions and hp potions. I believe these where in 2 calibers aswell. You also had elixirs you could buy at pepin the healer to give you +1 stat for 5000 gold... Also scroll of healing was kinda like a potion. D1 was actually the best diablo game in terms of scrolls, D3 does not even have scrolls. Instead we just had to right click items for identify, and click on portal icon for portal.. then yet another useless cooldown for no reason. So nooby.

In D2!!! We had gas potions, exploding potions, antidote potions, thawing potions, rej potions in 2 calibers, mana and hp potions in Minor, light, normal great and super. We also had stamina potions.

In D3 we just have some ugly ass wow potions that sucks and have a lame and useless cooldown. BORING!

... I dont even want to get started on gems.... Along with runes.... And Jewels.. :D
