D3 was never great, just good in it's own right. Blizzard South completely destroyed the Diablo franchise, and they've been trying to rebuild it ever since 2012. The right thing for them to do is to stop supporting it and release D4 asap. Nobody will miss D3. The RoN pack was a huge mistake. Content is garbage, another char is worthless. In anycase, ActiBlizz never had the right talent to deliver an ARPG worthy of it's predecessors.

On the bright side for all of us in this genre, Blizz did pave the way enabling the greatest ARPG of all time...PoE!

I was already convinced to SERIOUSLY play PoE just after i saw passive tree...
If you like ARPGs, you wont need any arguments from others, you'll see PoE's potential immediately after you try it.

just went back to D3 for the necro pack

trust me its still only fun for like 2-3 days

^^^ This- I did the same, thought I would play season 11 until 3.0 dropped annnd nope.

OP, POE is a game that is a MUST try for any fan of the genre. Unlike D3, getting great gear is a super rewarding experience, its not easy. I still remember my first 6link :-) I personally only aim for lvl 90, if the build needs to go beyond that in lvl's I am not interested. lvl 100 is something very few people achieve. If you do play, learn the economy as much as you can. Most of the gear you run will most likely come from trading- unless you prefer SSF.

diablo has grindyness but also an end game progression (Grifts) with a tangible purpose to them.

lol? There is no purpose to GR's other than to stroke your epeen /feel warm and fuzzy inside/bragging rights on leaderboard. It's a very very narrow form of progression. Don't get me started on the boring gear, you have nothing to look forward to but some more main stat. Tangible purpose?
