I Play Diablo III Because of Path of Exile's Problems

Not playing D2 instead.
What a scrub. |

" Don't confuse PoE's unique items with D3's legendary. Their function is different. Unique items here have something that a rare item of the same base cannot have. Legendary item is legendary, which means, it doesn't have to have anything unique in it, it can be just an improved rare item, which exists in PoE too. And also, rares aren't completely worthless at all, you were doing something wrong then. While I agree that there's so much wrong in D3, there's also in PoE. EDIT: And by the way, you say you like to compete, yet you have a 40's HC character and a 89 Standard character. I would've expect higher level HC character, especially in Invasion, or at least a high level Ambush character. Last edited by tinko92#6447 on Apr 10, 2014, 8:08:49 AM

" you have obviously missed all that is actually good about RoS, for instance, items that give skills or items that enhance skills, crafting and pseudo maps. Who cares about the story? You do it once, you now switch to adventure mode and grind. How much and how hard is up to you and loot you find. And no, it's not gritty but it's certainly far from just being cartoonish with all the corpses, blood, gore and stuff. Some of new levels have you literally walk on skulls bones and corpses. Truth is, all the people here that say they went back to D3 haven't actually played RoS and vanilla D3 really is just the same 'ol D3 with a new loot system and some mechanic changes but for the price of one average PoE's micro transaction you can get RoS which is as large as original D3 was + all the new stuff that actually matters. And yes, PoE and Diablo (any) are totally different games with totally different directions. To each his own. I am glad I picked up D3 RoS for 30$, I tried playing PoE again but after RoS, PoE feels like some game in alpha stage. But like said, to each his own.

Crafting is still RNG in RoS. Which is hilarious at times.

" Sure it is, but the amount of it is incredibly lower than one in here. What's hilarious in it by the way? |

" Imagine you find a near perfect weapon. Lvl 70. But, it's missing a socket. So, you try to reroll the one bad primary mod to get one. But, it doesn't give it to you. The cost of rerolling gets to 500k per. Each failed roll increases the next roll by about 15%. The item is effectively useless without a socket for crit dmg. So, you end up with a bricked perfect item because there's no ceiling. Edit: thus, in this example, it's worse than PoE, where the chance to gamble is static. In RoS, the chance (price) is exponentially greater with each failed attempt. Last edited by SL4Y3R#7487 on Apr 10, 2014, 10:46:37 AM

To attempt to craft in PoE, you need a static amount of materials. One fuse, one jeweler, etc. In RoS, you need an exponentially greater amount each time it fails. Imagine if you only needed one fuse the first time, than 2, 4, 6,8,10, 15, 20.... just for the same gamble.
Crafting cost in RoS is exponential in price. That makes it worse. |

All these threads make me wanna check out D3 & RoS, but the price tag is putting me off. Grezzards charging ~80EUR to experience a finally fixed game is too much. Moreover the slimes convert $ directly to €, 1:1, which is an armed robbery by itself.

" So tell me, how is that worse then my tries at getting T1 or T2 life mod on my shield (as a last mod, after double armour mods and triple res), which took 70 eternaling. But yeah, I beat the RNG in the end and got a 99 life mod. In PoE, each attempt is more expensive than attempt #15 in D3. There goes your nice static argument. 500k of rerolling isn't that expensive at all, it's doable in 30mins of playing on Master/T1. I've gotten to ~600k on my rare gloves where I was min/maxing. If you, by that chance find a perfect weapon for you, but you don't have the money to reroll, you grind it, and from my experience, getting that socket isn't even that extreme, at all. I've already got sockets on my 4 legendary weapons, average of 5 tries, it's nothing. It's a different situation in D3, you don't have to be super rich to attempt a craft. Because there are almost no useless mods to spawn and there are no +20 vitality and such shit, sure, there are some really bad mods, but generally, you won't end up with an empty slot.
