Time Capsule from PoE Closed Beta -- a classic PoE vs D3 thread circa 2012
" It's not really a choice then though is it? I mean, if you apparently hate it so much, you wouldn't have bought it even if POE wasn't here. ''Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters.
The silence is your answer.'' IGN: Vaeralyse |

If you like diablo 3 buy it. If you like PoE buy it. Simple. The reason you vertan "diablo" fans like PoE so much is because its exactly the same as diablo 2 with a couple tweaks. Of course old school diablo players are gonna like this game. Stop bashing games that aren't released yet. Its annoying.

I am unimpressed by a 15 year old Diablo stalwart. I was playing Diablo before he was born.

I'm 34 years old. I know people can claim any old age on the internet, but it doesn't take a genius to read my original post and at least get some sense that I'm probably somewhere between the 25-35 year old range. Unfortunately, it's the upper part. :)
I made this thread so that people could provide their angle, their feedback, thereby generating conversation. It seems to me you are not here to do that, FlyTheElephant, but I could be wrong. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. If not, please stick to that other thread where people seem to be happy to engage your foolish behaviour please. Thanks in advance.

" That's a fair point, Tagek. But I'll be completely honest: were PoE not here, had I not discovered it, I would have caved and bought D3 eventually. Diablo 3 is a LOT OF FUN. I poured well over 30 hours into playing and replaying the beta. I can't quite prove this, of course, but I said in another post here that I found myself farming Old Tristram for Griswold's Edges, which only come from the random spawn of the forge...that's some serious replaying right there. But with PoE suddenly there was a choice. And it wasn't a hard one to make. I've made that clear too. My choice of wording in the initial post was, of course, also designed to make it very clear how highly I hold this game. I invoked the Name of the Devil Himself. If you're going to praise something (and now I'm just repeating myself, sadly), the best way to do it, the most efficient, is to set it against the highest standard and see how it fares. Diablo 3 is that standard right now in almost everyone's eyes. It was, to be sure, never a choice as to which one I would buy. The choice lay in which one I pick if I had to, and while 'had to' is strong, the allure of the hack-n-slash-n-zap is very hard for any of us to deny. :) Account sharing/boosting is a bannable offence. No ifs, ands, or buts.
