Is POE doing enough to counter the D3 ROS hype?

Unless D3 means Dark Souls 2, this doesn't apply to me. I will be playing Dark Souls 2. But that doesn't mean Poe is gone forever or anything, I'm sure I'll play it a ton more.

I have not traded anything and in merciless. I don't look at other ppls gear so I don't know if I missing out on "good drops" but I have craft and drop everything I need so I have no problems with that. If drops are too good then you are like God and that gets old really fast. Try Diablo 3 console to see what I mean. I finish game in three weeks and was in god mode.

If your highest char is lvl 60, you're still in the honeymoon phase.

P.S. You will never have to worry about drops being too good in PoE. Or being any good, for that matter.

Well they are good enough to reach high lvl maps. There was a post about 2 months in self found and guy was doing 75 maps I think. I am not concerned. PPL told me I will die at dom with my first toon. Then i will die at cruel dom. Hasnt happen yet. Now at mericless is latest pessimism. Drops are fine crafting is fine to get job done. If you ant GG OFC drops suck because those ppl wouldnt be called GG unless items were 1 in a million to get.

Again, you missed the point. I said farming + grouping + trading = solo farming. That's what you want. That eliminates a lot of challenge (like making and maintaining a good group and educating yourself about the market) and only leaves you with solo farming. There's nothing more hardcore to solo farming than to the other two things. It's actually a lot easier, that's what I'm saying all the time.

What was amusing and telling is when beta came out all the big name streamers were playing other games like PoE and Heartstone after a couple days. RoS is complete shit worse than live. You;ll see.

1. All legacy items are trash so they are crapping all over people who actually stuck with game. Cant recraft them either.

2. Even more simplistic itemization than before if thats possible with only 4 primary stats

3. removing all the fun builds from the game. Anything spammable at high lvl for example like firebats like WW barb and so on, they want it to be kite fest and interchange primary skills.

4. No trading or AH? Uh yeah. I dont trade in PoE yet but options are good. Remove options remove customers.

5. Game is carebear to max. I play RoS beta and frolic at hardest levels with legacy gear. New gear, again same boring shit with higher numbers is a face roll. Nothing threatens you. High paragon easy to achieve. Face roll gear easy to achieve. difficulty is part of "end game" RoS has none.

6. Same simplistic builds with no character choices or skill tree to keep you coming back trying more, albeit fun ones removed.

Game is terrible. Made for 5 year olds. You'll see and be back just like streamers were after a couple days lol. When green posters typically Blizzard fanboys are bagging on game you got HUGE problems!!

Edit why ppl preordering a game thats digitally delivered??? I am not even though I have a couple hundred in bnet bucks and made a few thousand playing AH3 I discovered PoE and will play vaal after that, then Darksouls 2 comes out around same time, then maybe after reviewers are in Ill try it.
