Time Capsule from PoE Closed Beta -- a classic PoE vs D3 thread circa 2012

The point of the thread is to discuss various aspects of the games and give reasoning behind your opinions.

Simply stating 'This game is better' adds nothing to the thread.

The silence is your answer.''

Because right now you are adding something to the discussion?
Kick Ass and Chew Bubblegum - That's nature for you.
The point is to say I think it will be better/worse because....

Perhaps say why you think it will be better ;)

Yes, Faerie storm gets it.
Besides, you don't even have a beta key.
Why are you already assuming POE will be better when you haven't even played it? It already makes you come off as a very ignorant person.

Tagek, it's his opinion, I don't see a problem here. I've played the D3 beta and it is indeed washed out. Even if i would not have played it, just by the looks of PoE and the way it works, I would've still given the upperhand to PoE regardless. Sometimes, your instinct or feeling can matter just as much. It's something called good sense. In general, I just think you're being an ass. The reason i'm mad is because a long-time friend of mine called me ignorant just the same, that makes him an ass. It was therefore uncalled for, and I've censored him.

D3 doesnt even play or feel like diablo anymore


That's funny cause I'm in the beta and it feels great. Felt more diablo than the current state PoE and torchlight.

That's a little elitist of you, Tagek.
While it is true that someone who is in beta can speak from a greater point of experience, I assumed PoE would be better than D3 before I got into the beta. I'd played D3 beta and found it wanting. At that point, I found going back to Titan Quest or Torchlight a 'better' experience for me. And that's not due to the shortness of the d3 beta either -- I think I've sufficiently clarified that.

As I've also said elsewhere, the level of dev involvement and interaction with the PoE beta community leaves anything else I've experienced in the dirt. It's hard not to have faith in a company that shows so much direct interest in its testers, whereas certain others try their best to ignore player feedback...

kodr: no way! Kryta/Maguuma all the way. Loved exploring those areas. Do I really strike you as the sort to enjoy shortcuts?! I took the wrong exit from the Gulch just once and was like EEEEKBIRDSdead.

That said, I did figure out how to effectively kill skales outside of the Gates of Kryta to solo myself to 20 regardless of my class combination. Silly little process but it worked for me. :)

https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

Huh. My mace dude is now an actual cultist of Chayula. That's kinda wild.
I just reached lvl 14 in PoE and as much as I do like the general feeling of the game theres nothing that tells me PoE is better than D3.

Again the D3 beta was really limited as the max lvl was 13, not much to see there.

This beta is a lot more complete allowing you to go to lvl 60+

One silly question but at what lvl did you start to have fun in Diablo 2 ?

I think too many players expected Diablo 3 to be a copy/paste of Diablo 2 with enhanced graphics, I fail to see how it could be interesting , if I want to play Diablo 2 I'd better keep it the way it is.

Again Diablo 2 was far from perfect, in 10 years I dropped maybe 10 of the best items of Pindleskin and that involves thousands of repetive runs on the same monster, the pvp in D2 while fun was flawed and the economy sucked from day 1.

In PoE as for now with the small community enjoying the beta everything looks good, the fact that the devs are listening to the players is a great thing and the game is sure loads of fun, lets see how it evolves in the future I do think that the public stress test will tell us more.

A lot of great ideas in PoE thats for sure, also a lot of things that I do think need to be changed and tuned but it sure got potential.

Saying that D3 sucks while you ppl saw so little of the game points nowhere.

Plus we all can play both games or you are free to choose one but whats the point of coming here and saying that D3 sucks or going on D3 forums to say that PoE sucks ?

On PoE forums we should be talking about PoE not D3 especially in the General Discussion (everything related to PoE).

Just my two cents....
