Why POE1 is still the best ARPG, Better than LE, POE2, and Diablo 4
" who is this guy? Please ban him from the forum. We dont need his opinion anymore or that anyone who thinks like him. XD D3 is what made me stop buying a single Blizzard game. Not a single one of them from there. And I were a starcraft player, a wow player, a diablo player a warcraft player... I guess u get me. That game were like spitting in everyone faces after being 3 hours waiting in a shop the realease day to buy it. Dont even bother to answer me. About the post itself. I agree. POE 1 is still the best arpg so far. Sadly its outdated in graphics, visual clarity, and the learning curve is way way 2 hard for new people to come over. Is a game that will slowly loose and loose people till only a very very few nostalgic plays it. Same that happens with D2 even nowdays. Cos maybe u dnt know, but people is still playing D2. However... The next king ARPG hasent been done yet. This one have potential... Yes. But right now is still a mess. Hopefully them start to cook. Last edited by Sarke#5416 on Apr 18, 2025, 11:27:13 AM

" Ya, d3 was so much worse than d4 even its not even funny. D4 isnt even a completely terrible game. d3- 1/10 last epoch- 3/10 D4- 4/10 poe2- 6/10 D2- 7/10 <- too bad it was killed due to lack of content like poe1 has had for almost a year. poe1- 9/10 My opinion. |

" That`s ok D3 has brilliant multiplayer Greater Rift trough META system Super crafting Also D3 allow player to make really Experimental builds - like funny, speed run, gold run, etc. people really enjoyed to play together (really Golder era) Now ARPGs are sad , zero communication, zero friends, scammers, rude people.... |

The reason It's the best is because it had years of development and with every league new mechanics and systems were added some even saying making a more complete game. Crafting is absolutely phenomenal and the build diversity and combinations are unmatched. The chefs kiss.

Honestly have no idea how you're comming to a conclusion if poe1 is the best or not.
Endgame progression on this account is.... nonexistent. So any of the things you supposedly like about POE1, you never have reached.  Mash the clean

And people ask why people dislike PoE1 diehards... this kind of post is why.
First of all, it's a post focused on PoE1... so why is it here? Why is this post in the PoE2 feedback section? Then you're talking about loot being impactful in PoE1... nice. Keep telling yourself that and maybe it will become true one day. How many rare items that you found on the ground have you crafted on in PoE1? How many rare items that you found on the ground are you using on you in endgame? How many rare items do you pick up in PoE1 endgame? Oh I know... at best you're doing the chaos recipe or something with rares. Give me a break. PoE2's loot is not good either at this point in time but to say such delusional things about PoE1 is preposterous. They basically only came to the realization that crafting in PoE1 was cannibalizing any loot drops that weren't currency or unique items and their solution was far from ideal to say the least when they had PROPER examples of how to do it from LE. Then you're talking about PoE1 endgame activities being oh so good... when most of the activities in PoE2 are almost direct ports from PoE1 (which is a huge mistake btw)... but yeah... absolutely amazing take here as well. So then... if you hate Breach, Ritual, Delirium and Expedition in PoE2... you can't possibly love these in PoE1, can you? Which begs the question... if you hate these activities in PoE1... how is PoE1 the best ARPG again? If you hate simulacrum and ultimatum in PoE1, how is it the best ARPG again??? I can agree with you on one thing, GGG indeed didn't learn what was wrong in PoE1 and ported a lot of the problems from PoE1 directly into PoE2 without much thought. Most of the issues that PoE2 has, come from PoE1. "Sigh"

Ion, there is enough different ways to farm the endgame in poe1 that why would you care about simulacrum or ultimatum. I play ssf usually and the only time i farm simulacrum is if i want a split personality.
There are people (heistman in hctrade) that do nothing but heist. There is a guy named solidfart in hctrade that just flips currency. You could grab 100 random people that dont watch streamers and see how they farm and you would probably see at least 20% of them are doing something you never thought of. I have guildies that love to blast maps, I like invitation destructive play with jun into farming bosses. I have guildies that delve, I heist myself (except settlers cause no ore/gold and need more 6ls for hcssf). Poe1 has done such a good job making most mechanics feel really good independently. Poe2 is like they mixed everything in a gallon jug and just throw it on the atlas. I don't even have to farm ultimatum if I don't want to. I can get catalysts from heist then use harvest to swap them. Poe1 you build your own endgame based on your tastes. That and crafting is what makes it the best. Another thing for me that makes it so powerful is items like watchers eyes. That may be one of the most important motivators for me when im farming endgame. When you're doing twisted/formed non stop then farming elder/shaper/uelder you have so much content you can do without having to rely on anyone else even if you're in trade league. Last epoch, d3 and d4 all have phone game vibes. |
