" XD While I agree, I still hope Diablo 4 improves though "For we are not now that strength, which in old days moved Earth and Heaven. That which we are, we are; one equal strength of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will: to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." - Ulysses, Tennyson

I would be careful with that monkey's paw, I don't think GGG says slower meaning the game is less zoomy, I'm pretty sure they mean time to level 100

I hope it will be less zoomy, where also high-level character must interact with game mechanics beyond "enter map" and "leave map". When I look at some of the videos from streamers zooming across the map with graphical effects flying off in every direction, it looks like a recipe for getting a brain seizure or something.
Anyway, what I liked with my little visit in Diablo 4 during a server slam, was that things were slower and we had to actually fight packs instead of just run through them while everything auto-died. I hope POE 2 will be slower and that game resources are much better balanced. That way we won't have the "rate war" between mana, healing, damage etc, so that it would be possible to REACT to damage without dying. Right now in POE, you can die so fast the brain can't even register it before the respawn window pops up. One frame you're fine and at full health, next frame you're dead. "We" have gotten kinda used to the absurdity from playing the game for years, but it's not a great game design nor balance, which makes it hard for new players to get into the game. TOTA has taken it to even more extremes, where everything that moves can and will oneshot you. |

They will change their mind as soon the sales will go down.
PoE 2 sounds lik something that everyone would jump on to test it out since its new and shiny and be back to PoE after they get bored after two weeks-month (to never come back to PoE 2) Last edited by Aynix#7757 on Oct 11, 2023, 5:20:56 PM

" Yeah, I agree. Good post 👍 |

They got the winning formula with PoE 1 already; start out slow, gradually increase speed, damage, screen vomit etc. with each update and the masses will gobble it up every time. When the game becomes an unfixable mess, it's time for PoE 3.
If you're capable of repeating the success, why wouldn't you? |

" As much as this community hate it, those game are success. Financial success that is. If creating new Diablo with less work on each make more money they have no reason to not do it. Why am I still here

poe 2 will be trash if it's much slower than poe 1
if I wanted to play a slow arpg I'd already be playing grim dawn, which won't be beaten by any game any time soon |
