Is POE doing enough to counter the D3 ROS hype?

From my viewpoint all i see in ROS is just bigger numbers, some new shiny stuff but nothing to fix the clusterfuck that is the pillars and core of what makes a good arpg.

Itemization, skills, skilltree, endgame, pvp.

ROS still does not have a pvp....after 2 years of release.

Blizzard deserves a lawsuit, not our money.

I came to POE because D3 failed in so many ways. And i don't think they will handle all that in ROS. As I heard its getting verse.


Well then you better refrain from playing it.

Its an opinion and a narrow minded one at that.

But PoE will gain a lot of players from D3 with the loot changes. When you can't buy your BiS gear in D3, when the game is focussed on loot-finding and monster slaying, rather than shopping, when there is no AH or RMAH, when trading will be a side event rather than having the strongest impact on every aspect of the game and progression; expect a lot jumping ship to PoE with its 0 binding, pseudo 3rd party AHs, rampant RMT and trade gated content.


Wow. I didn't bite at the D3 launch but this is exactly what i'm looking for in an arpg. Combat gameplay - builds - then self-found loot. I will be giving them a second look in march if this is the case. As much as I love Poe I'm not really into "forum trader tycoon".
With all the visibility it got with the titles and all
POE is his own nemesis
Poe has made its reputation from the passion and creativity
This last one has been greatly lacking recently

Tbh i don't quite see the problem in just implementing SF into the normal leagues. Just give all players who have beaten Normal Difficulty the chance to check "Self Found" in any league, and they can't trade anymore, ever, and all items they drop get destroyed just like in town. In turn, they have higher drop rates and drops more fitting their character. Say, you're a witch, you're a LOT more likely to drop anything that is blue/blue-red/blue-green than the other colours, excluding gems but including uniques.

Fixed.


Once again it's not about SFL but it is just a big moan about droprates while using SFL as a guise.

Once again you missed it. SFL is not about drop rates. It is about availability of items due to the trade economy. Its fucked up. I don't want to farm alts and buy items from PoE power-brokers and no-life guilds.

I want to FIND my items. If that means balance around mob difficulty & experience, which then rewards drop rates then so be it.

SFL is NOT a dropmoarlootpls leauge. Very common misconception.

I will certainly be seeing how this will work in RoS. GGG's constant fuck off to solo players might really hurt soon...

How is it not a "dropmoarloot" league if what you are asking for is better or more loot?

In that case let players have the SFL option - But do no increase drop rates in anyway shape or form. If all they truly want is SFL.
