People are not playing now because of d3/eso, but everyone will be back soon.
" Convenient. Are you buying it? Are you buying that even though you can trade with anyone who is currently on, whisper with anyone who is connected regardless of the gateway, and can join and play with anyone, that they can't add the numbers of people currently connected to the game? (Not to mention that all logins go through the same login server, which is the same for everyone.) This reminds me of his (or was it someone else's?) long-winded explanation why legacy items can't be modified, and then a few days ago we have seen that they have no trouble whatsoever to very quickly locate and modify a large number of items. He's not even lying. Of course it's harder than before, in the same way it's harder to compute 1+1 than it is to get handed a 2. :) | |

Well, I have to agree with lots of people here, D3 is much more fun now.
When I tried Path of Exile, I was tired of D3 and the state it was, and more specially the auction house (trade channel in poe)... you needed to gear up there, and drops were toned down for this same reason we see in PoE... bots increasing availability of everything... But I was curious and sick with PoE, after spending over 1200 hours in... to resume, I bought a claw for my last build, a claw build by kirielis or something on the forum, and it worked great, was lots of enjoyment actually, until 70+... I bought my level 60 claw and never found a better one in 21 level afterwards.. I think I'm 81 or 82.. I've tried a few maps over 70, and could do a few, but never was able to come close to doing temple boss. even with 85 lightning resists I died before I could even leech. So that leaves me griding low exp spots for endless hours, barely finding anything usable or sellable... In 1200 hours I found 3 exalted (maybe 4, hard to remember)... and please, dont talk about trading... I tried to.. but anything under end game unique sells for crap, and dont even sell when they have low to average rolls.. people only want top rolls or perfect ones... My build could benefit much from a BoR, and I farmed Piety/Dominus for over a week non-stop, 10 hours+ a day, and never got one, I dropped many nightmare bascinet and chanced them all, no luck either.. the same with two chests I wanted as well, but no chance at buying thru trade, since all end game stuff is 10-20+ ex... After playing so much PoE, my feeling tells me that PoE is pay to win afterall.. only it is highly disguised... I bought a 6 pack of premium stash tabs last week and filled it about 75% since... at first, when you start PoE, you think wow, they are so generous with 4 large stash tabs, containing multiple inventory each, but you need to stash so many things, with so little stack amount... that playing a week with fill a full stash tabs of alts alone... If you cant or dont want to afford stash tabs, that puts you in the inability to trade efficiently, and progress at a desirable speed once you reach level 60... Prior to that, the game is fun, you find upgrade regularly, but even white stuff level 60+ is highly diminished.. and not talking about stuff like nightmare bascinet, which in level 72-73 I was able to find 2-3 at the most when I was lucky... The skills system is nice, the passives tree is awesome, but the way the game is designed currently, around trading is highly detrimental... and I highly doubt PoE will be around 5 years from now in this very same state it is now... At least blizzard was honest enough to admit they did something wrong and fixed it with RoS.. I havent purchased RoS yet, but I still enjoy D3 a lot as it is, and plan to purchase RoS as soon as I can. I doubt I will come back to PoE unless something major is to change... and I hope its not the arrival of an auction house to help trading even more.. And on the gambling side, I never was a casino addict, but I tried my luck in some online poker in its first days, and I had the same feeling of losing all (well, never lost much anyway and stopped before it became a problem) when I "crafted" in PoE... Grinding endless days to gather a tiny amount of orbs, and going thru all of them in 5 mins trying to desperatly craft something to replace a piece of gear 20 level lower than I was... If that is hardcore for you.... then we dont have the same definition of hardcore. So I hope GGG does something and learn about their mistakes... If you see so much people advocating PoE is fine as it is, it might just be those people are benefitting from it because they either rmt or have their luck in a time were PoE were overly generous maybe... Had much fun playing PoE, and I hope the skills system and passives will follow on to more games down the road... its a brilliant system.. even the orbs are nice, but not if they are calibrated around bots drop rate. Thanks for the enjoyment GGG and wish you guys the best, and hope you fix things up in the future. |

" Because he is paid by blizzard to give feedbacks since the hearthstone beta that's also why he went to the blizzcon for free . That's just outrageous you think krip and youtubers are a charity... |

POE all the way! It's impossible to make the weird ass builds that I like in D3 ;)
|
|
" Paid to give negative feedback? That's a first.. He made a video basically saying the game is boring... I wouldn't pay somebody to say my game was boring, so that's your theory out the window. |
|
" Of course I'm not buying it, the game is literally dead and they want to hide that. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

I'm enjoying a lot of RoS too!! :)
still, I don't think it has potential to be up and around for years. They did an awesome job revamping, but the general framework of the original D3 prevents it. Playing RoS doesn't stop me from my gear and insanity goals in PoE Exile is an illusion, exile!

Accusing Kripparian of being paid by Blizzard is ridiculous. I'm not overly fond of some of the stuff he pulled in various games (exploiting bugs), but he's undoubtedly done more for promoting PoE than any other streamer.
If he plays D3 now, it's because he's enjoying it more or because more people are interested in it. I have zero interest in the D3 expansion, don't play it, don't plan on playing it (too shallow and none of the issues I had with the game were fixed), but Krip's anything but a Blizzard shill. And I'm not surprised that people have more fun with D3 than with PoE in its current state, even if it doesn't appeal to myself. D3 is a game, PoE is like a relationship with a highly bi-polar partner. | |

o.O
PoE/RoS are games and people play one or the other...or both. This mindless cock measuring contest is OLD. get over yourselves and play what YOU wanna play, stop trying to convince others that you are right and they are wrong. /deadthread Last edited by PathOfSteven#7690 on Mar 28, 2014, 2:36:30 PM
