PoE Killer Launching today bois

im just bored af at work, waitng for me food to arrive...

d4 and all subsequent addons will never be a poe killer, the only thing killing poe is poe itself, simple as


i started playing d4 from s2 to 5 every season and got bored rather quickly because it is so shallow, first time playing through campaign as a necro with minion army, litteraly fell asleep 3 times because it was just so repetitive and boring

appart from a boring story, d4 messed up with the gameplay loop big time in taht, "hey we created this big open world so we gonna force you to play in it" meaning, lets say you go do nightmare dungeons but also want to kill bosses, you have to litteraly stop progressing not only the dungeons, but your rune levling aka character power, to farm some mats, these mats are not up to farm 24/7 but are timed, dosnt matter how short the cooldown is, its timed and therefore you getting subcon forced into fomo because well, you want to kill them big bad bosses, anyway, lets go back to nightmare dungeons but oh well, nope gotta stop grinding after 20 minutes because worldboss spawns in 5 minutes, and if i am not there in time, boss dead in less than 10sec,

it keeps going that way, you litteraly have to consistently intterrupt gameplay loops because you have to farm something else, otherwise you are lacking far behind

and appart from the constant interuptions, despite poe lack of optimisation for better performance, d4 has worse problems than low fps, fuq fps if you constnatly rubberband or get dced,thats way worse than playing with only 30 fps

biggest issue for me personaly however, there is no uniqueness to the classes,
considering its permanent online and one big shared world, you are forced to play meta builds for one, else you are again, lacking behind, and second you dont have any real "crafting uniqueness" you litteraly overblow your character wiht more and more legendarys and only fish for the same item with just more stats,

btw. diablo franchise exists for over 20years, they should know how to make a good arpg but they messed up, d2 still has more indepth in it than d4, its just that people had like.... 20 years to figure out almost everything

tldr: d4 bad and will never dethrone poe ever, d4 is just a shallow mess of a once great franchise

Agreeing with u for the most part.

I'm actually kind of excited about the leaked D2R build with TCP/IP functionality. Hoping for some nice new online mods with D2R graphics and maybe even more possibilities than with the old D2 core.
