Path of Exile shouldn't be concerned about Diablo 4
Yes folks, after having played open beta Diablo 4, i'm pretty confident about PoE's future. D4 is just a D3 version 2 (or D3.5).
First of all, you guys have to check out the video called "D4 meme review" from "Twodancinglobsters" to understand my speech. So, here we go ! No risks taken : - Only 5 classes, - Same classes than D2/3 and nothing new, - Same classes abilities as D3 but placed in a tree instead of lines (and many people won't see it, lul), - Same dungeons mechanics : you enter the dungeon, you kill mobs, you perform an action (for example : placing an object on a pedestal) and you'll kill the boss (which is a joke btw), i'm pretty sure players will do it once or maybe 2-3 times and after they'll be forgotten, - Act 1 final boss is hilarious in term of mechanics, - Anecdotic mines : what's the point to spend 30 seconds in it ? - Itemization which doesn't scale with player level, for example in L25 dungeons i looted items with an ilevel of 12, rofl. Same assessment for the open world : the level of mobs scales with player level but not the loot, - No crafting bench or NPC to recraft your items (you can't add a line or reroll it), - 2-3 same mechanics of open world events, - Dull legendaries : i played a necromancer and i never had the need to use uniques, i did my "journey" from lvl 10 to 25 with a blue weapon which was better than yellow/orange weapons. Yes, the DPS stat was better. - Blizzard still continues to use Paragon system : the dullest thing i've ever played and i spent countless hours during lockdown before i decided to play for real PoE and to understand the true meaning of : Hack'n'Slash. - Mob density is a JOKE. I've never been concerned about my life pool and my character ressource at any moment. I never had this feeling of harrassement i found in PoE. To conclude : I heard from the mouth of a hardcore D3 player (yes hardcore players exist in D3) under NDA that Blizzard will continue to have the Greatest Rifts system. Again, no risks taken. Famous streamers who are well-known in the PoE scene were here to take Blizz money and to discover the game to help them realize PoE was still better. So i rejoyced myself : PoE will continue to be the higher end of the market and the most accomplished A-RPG H'n'S in term of diversity of mechanics, rewards systems, and healthy monetization. I hope the new league mechanic will be sick the next season. Last bumped on Mar 28, 2023, 3:12:44 AM

Most great grandchildren with different parents and raised in different continents tend to live their lives independent of each other.
But here. Have a bump for your efforts. And thank you for posting your thoughts about a game that isn't PoE in the correct place. Bonus points for you. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable. Last edited by Foreverhappychan on Mar 28, 2023, 3:14:43 AM
