Why are people paying to play diablo when Path of Exile is right there, free?
Blizzard doesn't give a fuck about its consumers.
I love PoE but will say I don't like the glitterfest speedster every build turns into. I know many d2 builds can get pretty bright and fast too, but it somehow has more cronch for what I'm doing. I can't shake it, and clearly struggle to define it.
It's a great great game and I look forward to poe2, no hate.
What about Grim Dawn?
Also am excellent game that deserves your time. I really mean it.
If I had to gripe there it's that enemies dogpile you and it's hard to feel "ranged" in lategame, which is my favorite playstyle.
It's fun for a while, but for me, it lacks the replayability. I have ~50ish hours in there, but after that I just couldn't stay engaged. Even tried again after a bigger patch, still couldn't hook me in.
Visual clutter is your own responsibility in PoE, just saying :)
But I get where you come from.
What do you mean? I mean from skills/effects, not items. I know about filters.
I mean the skill effects especially. Or maybe even the choice of skills. If you use Lightning Strike with many projectiles (which also return) and some fancy MTX: self-inflicted clutter. I played a Bleedplosion Gladiator and a Viper Strike of the Mamba Trickster this season, both were fine clutter-wise.
Oh I see your meaning. Yeah fairpoint on mtx I always select the absolute simplest and darkest.
Indeed.
Waiting for the sequel of PoE to launch. Latest disable just sucked. It was a slog. And you don't get to experiment with abilities and equipment so much, there's usually only 1 good combination for any class....don't use it, you won't win
Having played both, I ask myself the same question
Or if you want to float some money the developer's way, pick up last epoch.
