How is POE better than the Diablo 4?

[caley]

I am not taking either side and would like to know what makes POE superior to the Diablo 4? I've not had much time playing POE and haven't played much of the Diablo 4, so I'm curious.

Thank you :D

Quality of life features, actual end game, ton of freedom for builds (try your best to get as far as you can, or follow one of many builds)

D4 has the build variety, good animations, score, graphics. That's the quality.

d4 has no build variety at all, you want to play barb go 4 shouts into ww want to go druid go bear, want to go sorc just play necro, want to go tank, you cant cuz the resistance doesnt work just go full armor thats the only thing you can go as a tank, but it does have good animations good graphics but if the game is ♥♥♥♥ and you sprinkle gold on it its still ♥♥♥♥

This is incorrect. For example, my barb build has no shouts and no WW. And I did concede that there is one brainless barb build, which is the shout WW build. But isn't that POE? Boost one skill and spam? That is POE in a nutshell. I am not sure what else you are going to say once resistance is fixed, it seems like a sticky point here. And I have explained that there is no variance in POE builds. They are the same. Because one throws a shield and explodes everything compared to a bow that freezes everything, it all becomes the same thing - everything dies before you see it with the same positioning and same buttons. Try to play POE without resistance at max. Where is the build variety when you have to max all your resistance?

D4 is a good game without end game content, which is a consistent formula for year 1 gaas. I recall destiny 2 year 1 - wow, that game had no end game and now the end game is extensive.

Look, I want to support the little guys. NZ indie developer vs awful big corporate ♥♥♥♥♥♥ deviant blizzard? Absolutely, I wish to like POE. But I can't see how it is a better game. Critically, they are about the same. One has extensive end game content and f2p. The other has smooth gameplay and graphics and classes/build variety. I just prefer gameplay to endgame. If I had more time and less money, POE would be great. Money isn't so much a factor. I am not a kid anymore and my time is more important.

I want to be wrong about this and just enjoy POE and support GGG. But the more I play both and the more I research POE - the further away I am from continuing with POE.

I loved D2 and D3, yet you'd have to combine the best of those games to come close to what PoE delivers. D4 lost its way, became something unfocused and unwanted, and people are voting with play/view time. I really wanted to love D4 but I was bored before I finished the campaign... and exhausted when I realized what the "end game" entailed.

Everyone wanted to love D4 after D3 and DI, it’s just disappointment after disappointment. Give it a year at least and see what they manage to do.

PoE isn't in beta stage.

I gave poe another shot last night. got some game in. I think the clunkyness got better. But I think the gem system actually ruins the loot system. You get a piece of armor, use a currency to unlock it, but the gems don't link or match what you want.

Chromatic Orb reforges the colour of sockets on an item randomly.
Orb of Fusing links sockets.
You can also use the crafting bench trick (check youtube)

There are also work bench recipes that will let you control the outcome of linking and recoloring sockets.

You can find good random drops that can be good for your character but the players with the most knowledge on the game's crafting system are able to craft their own gear instead of relying on random chance. You still have to rely on random chance to get uniques but crafted gear can be really strong if you know what you are doing and if there is a unique you really want you can generally trade for it.

[DaTank]

You can make random drops work if they don’t work when you get them. That’s what they are talking about when it comes to crafting, if the sockets and/or links are not what you want the game provides the bench or currency to change them.

[Geo]

What DaTank said, say you have a dex item but need blue sockets? that's where the bench comes in handy, or just want to turn it into 4 sockets or 4 links etc, add resistances, damage life and so on .

Path has real trading. If I find a good item that I don't plan on using I can trade it for currency. Then use that currency to improve my build. Also there are no bind on equip or bind on pickup items, excluding quest items. If I find a better item i can trade my old item to other players. In Path of exile players craft the some of the best items. :exalted:

This game is poorest trade system in game history.
