I played alot of D2 and Ive been a huge diablo fan since D1. ARPGs are almost the only games I play.
D2 does not have more diversity than D3 and the skill system is horrible compared to D3s.

When you say that D3 has no depth and poe is deep, how exactly did you measure that?
Please demonstrate this "fact".

Wow that irony.

Is it ironic that I have opinions? I think you are trying too hard mate.

Btw, D3s skill system is entierly based around opportunity cost. Maybe the lack of percieved depth comes mainly from a lack of understanding.

I would rather argue that any percieved depth there comes from wishfull thinking. But that's just my opinion. :D

I played D3: ROS, it was not for me. I am glad you can enjoy it.
But it should be no supprise that many people on the PoE Forum actually prefer the PoE systems /depth and will argue in their favour. It's the PoE forum after all.

Many people on the PoE forums want a game that isnt based on trading and casino mechanics and doesnt have desync as a feature. So its a good place to talk about D3. Most complaints against it are either false or applies just aswell to poe.
Obviously, if you want trading D3 will suck for you.
But the itemization is great, crafting is much more rewarding than in poe and you dont have to trade to ever get close to perfect gear. The drop rates are great.
The skill system is fantastic. You dont have to trade or be lucky to use the skill you like. You can try a different skill or build entierly without having to level some gem or trade.
Its based around opportunity cost and combining skills to match your playstyle. The combat is much more interesting as you will have more than one skill to use.
You can actually play all the content without having to be very lucky or trade.

As someone said earlier, poe is for planning and D3 is for playing. The only really great thing about poe that you cant find in D3 is the skilltree, and you can download an app for that. So play D3 while at the computer and play poe while you are taking a dump. Best of both worlds.

The problem with D3 is that it doesn't have an end-game. There is nothing even close to map mechanics as it's in PoE. There is not even an endless dungeon.
This is main reason I'm not going to give D3 another chance to play.

I'm not so sure this is a fair representation. D3 has Torment rifts, which are gated by your courage, not by RNG a la PoE. Those Torment rifts are varied, both in terms of layout and monster variety, comparable to (but not exactly the same as) maps. There is no Atziri equivalent in D3.

The bigger issue with D3 is that there is no material downside to dying in softcore, just a bit of gold. I would prefer a harsher penalty.

The guy you quoted listed a HUGE point in terms of the complete lack of opportunity cost and build dedication inherent in D3's system. To ignore that point (given we're talking about an ARPG, a genre DEFINED by choices in character building) is criminally stupid.

The problem is, that this doesn't add any "depth" only nuisances.

No, the harder difficulty is right, you would learn that from your own experience if you've experienced it (and not playing on Normal and then talk around how easy D3 is, now that was hilarious), You've read it somewhere and that's just an experience of a small minority.
But yeah, nice jump from T3 to T6. Of course it's a big difference.

Nice try bro, interesting how your memory works. I said I started a char on Expert with no twink gear and no ruby gem cheesing, but you probably know that. You're just angry I made fun of D3's difficulty because I facerolled the game on the highest possible difficulty for a fresh account on a fresh char.

As if PoE is anything other than face roll when you make a new character.
