PoE wins d3

Maybe Blizz should fix their game and do right by their fans before asking for more money? They could take a lesson from how Elemental was handled by Stardock.

Suck it Mr Morhaime, not paying $40 for a patch or to beta test your console game.
Hmm...

D1 --> Played. Great game
D2 --> Played. Absolutely great game
Sacred 1 --> Played. Oldschool 2D graphics, and great humor
Titan Quest --> Played. Great game, even better with mods
Sacred 2 --> Played. Great game, nice graphics and cool physics, and the humor is even better than in part 1
D3 --> Played. Was fun in the beginning, but gets boring after a while because of the skill system and the bad drops
TL2 --> Played. At the first look way too cartoony, but the game itself is really good, even better with mods
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing --> Played. Van Helsing and his female ghost companion are very cool characters, and the gameplay is nice, too. Unfortunately you can only play it once with different difficulties at the beginning, you have to level a fresh char after you finish it.
PoE --> Played (and still play it *g*). In my eyes the best Hack&Slay at the moment, even it has some weak points

And finally...

RoS --> Not played yet. But I see no reason not to play it, because as you can see, I´m a big fan of H&S games, and it couldn´t get worse than D3 classic. I´m not sure how long I will have fun with RoS, but it doesn´t matter if it´s only interesting for a few weeks, because... I have PoE! :-)))

I think ingame videos are a waste of ressources, you watch them the first time and think "Wow! Cool!", but when you´ve watched them a few times more, you will quickly come to a point where you skip them...

ive spent more money on POE than d3 and tbh, i dont mind spending the money here because i think theyre doing a great job and are trying their best to improve the game for the community.

doubt ill be playing d3 at the xpac...i thought i would but i logged on a few days ago and i just cant get into the gameplay anymore (900 total hours since launch, but quit once i began playing poe last year)

"REEEEEEPPPPP" off




You'll end up buying enough stash tabs to last ya when you reach that point, stuff that would come stock in a game you just flat out bought.


Enjoy.


Stash tab argument is invalid because d3 starts you off with 3 stash tabs

D3 vs PoE

Price:
-D3 cost 1 time Money ; PoE dont cost money, but you are forced to buy atleast some Tabs.
Sum: 1:1

Different Builds for your Hero:
-Here is PoE the clear Winner, it have TONS more possibilitys to make your "own" Hero.
Sum: 0:1

Desync/Rubberbanding:
-We dont need to say here something. PoE loses here clearly. Shittiest Game ever when the term Desync comes in your Mind.
Sum: 1:0

Trading:
-D3 got the AH, but they Remove it. So both Trading Systems nearly identical. You are forced to Trade with someone and this guy must be Online. So no timesaving offline Trading.
Sum: 0:0
personal note: i hate this trading method personaly, wished poe has a AH and im not forced to interact with scumbags.(not all ppl/trades)

Patches/New Content:
-PoE is the clear Winner here, D3 only give "new" Stuff for money(xpac) or they patch 2-4 times in a year.
Sum: 0:1

Leagues:
-D3 have only 2, SC or HC. PoE have only 2 too but they have the Short Leagues (Races) and 4 Month Leagues for SC and HC.
Sum: 0:1

Dev/Mod/Employee Response:
-D3 wins here a little bit when the "number" of Responses count. PoE employees dont response often, most of the Time its just a "pls discuss this here or topic closed". But WHEN PoE employees Response you have more the "feeling" they listen what you wrote. Btw i dont count "anounce" Stuff here, thats only a 1-Sided Communication.
Sum: 1:1

Community/Forum Community:
-D3 wins here cleary. The Forum is WAY better moderated. Not so many hate Ingame and in the Forums. I found it "harder" to find nice ppl in PoE as in D3.
Sum: 1:0

Crafting:
-PoE wins here clearly. Tons of more possabilitys. Even when many/some ppl QQ about the RNG. RNG is a CORE FEATURE of a ARPG. Why? The Main Goal of a ARPG is, to hunt for a Better Item. And when your Item gets better, its harder and you need more time, to find a better Upgrade. D2 was nearly the same "hardcore grind shit" like PoE nowdays. (i like dat personaly)
Sum: 0:1

Story/Acts/Vids:
-Yeah... nothing big to talk about. D3 wins clearly, but they have more proffesional Designer to make some "cooler" Content. BUT! PoE trys to catch up! Wished we have Act Vids in PoE like in D2/3. And a more "deeper" Story.
Sum: 1:0

Archievements:
-D3 wins here cleary. Better/harder and more Funny Archievments then PoE atm.(Like let the Smith Guy kill his own Wife ;) ) BUT! PoE freshly started with the Archievment thing, so here is many room for catching up!
Sum: 1:0


If this post was any more subjective, you could label is as an auto-biography. There are far too many inaccuracies in it for me to even begin, so I digress.
Still in the alpha stage, but at least build diversity isn't an issue: https://wolcengame.com/home/

Combat is alpha and omega of ARPGs .. it's something you are doing 99% of the time..and maybe it's just click click click ...but this click click click has to be flawless and enjoyable.. and PoE is lacking.. I can tell you that all of my friend but one..left PoE because of sucking combat. I am somehow here for over 3 years already and accepted combat as it is..but it's not enjoyable.. not for me..nor many my friends..

second important part of ARPG is loot..and it's also horrible in PoE..D3 had horrible loot..horribly bad.. so do PoE..

Jump into D3 PTR and see how loot should look like..still not that good..still has many problems.. but it's something I can enjoy again..(so sad that after Titan Quest there were no APRG which made loot right)


And that's why you like D3 and I dont. You sir are an arcade gamer. RPG got nothing to do with the combat elements. Why do you think pen and paper games was so popular in the 80´s? Its about the roleplay and journey with the character you have made out from you ideas on how you want that character to behave.

No wonder d3 fans and poe fans always arguing is like 2 different gamers head-clashing. Personally I blame blizzard they tried to transform the ARPG genre into an arcade streamlined version. Yea it might be fun for some but it got nothing to do with an RPG. Personally POE and D3 should not even be compared we might as-well compare Call of Duty to POE


Played pen and paper D&D for 14 years,(and I was dungeon master for over 9 years) played RPGs video games since i was 13.. I think you are very wrong I am arcade player. I love deep games..but I don't like unneeded complexity...

Honestly all system in PoE are very complex with not enough depth.. I don't like comparing it to D3 because there are tons of other games to compare with..but I think everyone here played D3.. what PoE has what D3 doesn't customize wise? honestly...passive tree is just glorified, more ugly, worse working and more confusing paragon system... Keystones are just worse passives from D3, and support gems are just very complex way to make skills viable in later difficulties ...basically just gating system..customization wise.. D3 again did that better In my opinion..

only thing which I like on PoE is build permanency.. which has nothing with customization..While I would love to have some build permanency in D3, I can decide how permanent my build is.. I played 6 shamans in WoW..everytime I wanted to try different build, I played 3 Demon hunters in D3..always I wanted to try different build..so for me..it's basically same like PoE (don't get me wrong.. I love fact that PoE has build permanency and I would love to see it in D3)

For me.. PoE is not technically at level of D3..nor is any deeper.. it's just more complex..yet..it's just very arcade game..honestly.. D3 combat (with non broken build) has much more diversity compared to PoE.. I can't remember when in PoE I was using more than 2 buttons..


Lets just agree to disagree because I dont believe for a second anyone who loves pen & paper games would play D3

Don't be so short minded..PoE has nothing what could somehow resemble D&D in any way..nor has D3.. honestly..why D&D was brought on the table is beyond me when we are talking about action games in a first place ;)

This wretch guy must have my profile favorited or something on his toolbar.

Dude literally comes after every post I make. Stalker maybe? Pathetic maybe? I think this guy really fucking misses me man. LOL. Btw, I did say I would browse until everything was sold (about 95% through that process) but never said I wouldn't not read what goes on from time to time. Would love to see desync get fixed or improved greatly. I simply posted on this because of how fucking thick headed some people are. For real though broski. Get a life lol. You constantly follow my posts and then reply with something completely off topic. You so desperately want to be the start of a trend, but you fail every time. But hey whatever floats your boat man :) fine by me! ;)

edit -- oh, also

Rofl? 2/3 the price, not "near" if you ask me.

Also, look at your fucking 3 supporter packs? If I'm not mistaken, you've spent over $1,000 on those 3 alone if not more?


Not even going to touch on the rest of your post, but this is such a stupid comparison. You are REQUIRED to spend money to play RoS. Buying supporter packs is completely optional and you only do it if you want to support the game.

The stash tab argument is also fucking stupid because you can make as many accounts as you like to store things.


Yeah, I'll make 10 different accounts to store orbs and gems and then when I need them have to make another account to create more space in my stash to put in there and then go back to the other account to drop what I need back in the stash, etc.

Yes, at some point with multiple characters you need more stash tabs, that would come stock in a game you pay "full" for.

I really don't see the big deal. If RoS turns out to be a really awesome game, who's gonna bitch about paying 40 fuckin bucks? It's like if you love path of exile, donating is fine and great. But if you seriously are going to donate hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a f2p game, then complain that a game cost $40 to get and that's your argument of why it's stupid? That's a pretty dumb comparison. You guys really make my brain hurt having to read what get's said from some of you.

Yeah we get it now. If you like path of exile you aren't allowed to like D3 or blizzard and must attack them every chance you get. GGG is much superior to them. Blizzard has never made a good game before, they suck man. They don't know how to keep customers. It's not like their playerbase for games by that company is 100x larger than GGG's.

I'm so wrong. Forgive me =(

/o wait

-________- lawd people. Can we settle down and hug now.

I thought I was buying RoS just a while ago, but the reports from PTR have been bad, and my favorite class in that game, WD, looks to be pretty stagnant and barely changed.

This is probably for the first time in ages I won't buy a Diablo blizzard game, at least in the first few months. Too bad.
