What do you think about the fact that Diablo 4 has copied POE wholesale?
|
So now that the beta is out it turns out this was all just marketing garbage.
Blizzard scrapped everything from D4, runewords, skill tree, paragon boards everything that they tricked us into thinking it's a real ARPG They only showed us a POE style skill tree in promotional material to trick POE players into wasting $70 on their ugly turd. According to Chat GPT the itemization in D4 is more complex than D2 and almost as complex as POE Paragon boards for example is a near wholesale copy and paste of POE skill tree. I for one thank god that they have done this. All I wanted was a POE with proper character animations and graphics. Basically all I wanted was to convert D3 into POE and now it has happened with even better graphics. Look how Awesome my MTX Marauder RF looks https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1695395 Last edited by TriniGamer on Mar 19, 2023, 12:55:19 PM Last bumped on Oct 31, 2024, 5:58:55 PM

Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

D4 will be a cash grab ,whatever all they copy from POE .... heavy prize for the game,pass,new class,extensions,cosmetics,etc,etc ....... and ,ofc,friendly progression for casuals .
no matter graphics and animations if there's no deep and test in game's mechanic. learning is a painful process ... knowledge is the most deadly weapon. Last edited by xxxcobaltxxx on Mar 13, 2023, 8:34:37 PM

OP tried to farm attention with this in Off Topic. Guess GD really does have more foot-in-mouth traffic.
https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

I hope they are taking the good things (passive tree, itemization) and leaving off the bad things (crafting, obsession with making trade unpleasant, focusing on streamers).
My list is, of course, very subjective | |

What is your agenda OP? I mean you have been doing the same threads with the same thing over and over "diablo bad - poe gud" when the actual creativity comes out?
Not surprised mods dont do anything excpet to certain names.. "Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."
Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words. Retired since crucible.(Not a free tester anymore for a multi billion dollar company). | |
" What do you think about the fact Path of Exile has copied Diablo 2 wholesale? Where do you think this game got its start? | |

Not much really. ARPG genre feels pretty dry so I'm all for some healthy competition. I feel the same as you - I've always wanted a game with the depth of PoE and performance and visual quality of D3, so I'll be happy if the game succeeds.
Unfortunately I don't really have much faith in ActiBliz left, because they've been mostly releasing utter trash since D3. The sad fact is that it's only players who 'suffer' in the end, because Blizzard still made a lot of profit from such garbage as Warcraft 3: Reforged and Diablo: Immortal due to their name. And I can admit that I'm also a part of the problem, because sooner or later I'd probably buy the next ten Diablo games even if the previous ones would be complete garbage, because you still have this hope that a company that once made masterpieces like D1-2, W3, vanilla WoW, Starcraft can do it again. |
