I thought D4 loot system are worse than PoE.
Until Blizzard team has reworked the loot system recently and it's pretty good, in PoE I got tons of useless loot but now in D4 all loots are useful.

Ah, Diablo 4 is fun :D

If every item is useful then loot doesn't matter. To make loot matter you need that nugget that makes you go "Wow!" when it drops ad D4 kinda lacks that.

That said if you have fun in D4, play D4, simple as that.

But when I get a unique drop in PoE, I was like "This doesn't work with my class at all", while in Diablo 4, every drops always compatible with the class, and I can craft unique property directly into an item without the need to mass farm them too. That's pretty much more "Wow" compared to PoE :D

When you drop an unique item in PoE it should encourage you to figure out a build that uises that item, unless it is something generic likle a goldrim (https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Goldrim) that is pretty much a best in slot leveling item.

PoE is also heavily balanced towards trading and crafting unlike Diablo 4. Not all gfames need to do things the same way and different ways can be good.

Diablo 4 is sure tailored fopr casual play and you will always find loot tailored to your class while PoE will be a more one man's trash is another man treasure kind of gameplay.

If your profile wasn't private I could see your progress in PoE, but your hiding it and posting garbage so I will take it as you never passed act 3 and that's why you find garbage,

Unique items are hardly the only thing that drops and teh 1% that is expensive is actually a wow! drop.

Theres also a tn of 1c uniques that will just allow you to make fun builds.

Current state of the game is pretty sad. Years ago, PoE used to be great, now it's nothing but a shadow of it's former glory. RIP

Years ago we all used to farm Dominus as if it was Baal and used AHK to make /oos macros.
Rare enemies could randomly spawn with the reflect mod and volatility meant instant explosion on death. Scary times.
I enjoyed the game back then, but its a million times better now imo.
The fact PoE has only grown in popularity since then reflects this.

Game is fine and still growing.

This game is lucky to hit 7000 peak players a day. A challenge league would have went a long way to stop the bleeding but no.. GGG has once again gone silent on us while they beg for MTX sales. This is the first time i just shut the game off and stopped playing. Playing it feels pointless and grinding for nothing. With poor trading and greedy traders and price fixers waiting to sell you stuff that you don't need. Unless you are into a currency stacking competition with no real point but an endless grind and a stress fest the entire way, I would just skip it.

Meanwhile Asheron's call a game from 1998 makes a come back , it actually tore me away from Poe. Look on ytube for how to install Asheron's call. having a blast. Many servers. Top server has a constant 900+ players and growing. Free. The players are nice to each other also.

Welcome to "is poe dead totally not bait" thread July 2024 edition.

This league was a total filler and it's been going for 3 months and the next is almost a month away. It's a miracle so many people are still playing it.

Just wait a few months. You can reuse the same post and not have to "grind" to come up with new ideas :)

I have quit and stopped playing nearly every single league. This is normal and you're not supposed to play to the very end. The game is too grinding for that.

You start a new league, play a new build you never played before, complete 40/40 challenges, try new atlas strats, and do this within 1 or 2 months. Quit for 1 or 2 months.
This is how the game is designed. Chris Wilson said it himself. GGG is looking for looooong term player retention. This is accomplished by giving players a break from the game so they can return feeling fresh.

Back in the day, Diablo 2 did this strategy with ladders and ladder resets every few years.
GGG took it to the next level and reset 4 times a year + game changing league themes.
Its no coincidence that D3 started doing the same and Diablo 4 is built around this this idea. Last Epoch, NRFTW, and even WoW now do the same.

You are currently looking at PoE at the end of its current league. The end of this month a new league will be out.

PS. No I will not be looking into Asheron's Call. I know what that game is, I played it during its prime. Didn't like it then, definitely not going to like it now.

Not sure I follow your logic but i wont be here, I'm already gone. I have skipped it. Unless ggg starts treating it's players like humans and not like punching bags, I don't see me coming back. You see I have rediscovered a game that works in the opposite fashion. Everything is geared toward the player doing well. Every person helps others players, in fact you get rewarded for helping other players. So play POE if you like being abused. I'm not, and I know you don't care if I do or don't. Poe at this point is nothing but a over glorified bullet hell game with harsher penalties. Have fun with your pointless grind.

Leagues dead bc bad execution of a mediocre idea. Forcing additional map mods that make maps harder onto players is bad. Adding all those mods directly to the map would be more effective and balanced. Currency is worth nothing as well.

[B a q z i ツ]

yes this LEAGUE is dead, PoE isnt and will surely be at 40k+ players as the new league drops (as always been), also they said end of July will the new league begin, so only few people are still playing. Thats just how ARPGs with Season System works. Leaguestart always HYPERS, last month of league Deadge
