Poe 4.0 should be a whole new game (of different perspective) or its game over for this one GGG

No chance in hell PoE loses to Last Epcoh.

Diablo 4 on the other hand...

Spoiler

PoE needs new content, or spin, badly. Engine and Character Models, with performance issues are a real problem.

Why do you think blizzard with their casual approach can deliver with D4, their name alone still carries a punch but its pretty questionable these days, thanks to Activision...mostly.

Even if it's great and packed to the brim with mechanics and content that MUST reward creativity, at best it will rival PoE, but it wont kill it.

Whatever they do, they must not follow on D3. End game being a simple endless dungeon with nothing but inflated health and damage wont be a good thing, just like rifts. If they still make the whole game with "this weapon boost this skill so much that all other weapons are useless." Sets which pretty much tells you what to play ain't gonna work a second time.

There is a lot of work to do in order to succeed.

I've put over 1k hours in this game and that's how i see it.

Log in.
Level to max in 2 hours.
Get your set in 2 more hours.
Wait for the same thing to drop with 1 more main stat.

Nothing has "wow" factor, they removed the RPG element completely, and things just drop...not that heavy RNG is great, but if done right it will be the carrot on a stick, something D3 failed miserably at.

This ain't gonna work again. We will see i guess, but Blizz has done nothing in the last 10 years that promotes longtime play. It's like a pop culture, get fast money on day one, screw everything after.

D3 shows it, WoW is hemorrhaging players ever since WoTLK. Overwatch is getting pretty questionable, mostly due to balance and extreme toxicity. Hearthstone is the retard-proof version of Magic the Gathering. SC2 is the only thing that can be called a game.

You seem to have a great trust in D4 from what i've seen, but i don't know why.

If IF they do it justice and not screw it up like they usually do, because god forbid their playerbase need to use at least 1 brain cell. Then that's great. But i don't think they have much of a hardcore audience left, Esports and Mythic raiding aside, 99% of their targeted demographic aren't people that want to achieve, its people that want medals for losing.

Who knows though...in the end competition is good.

PS: Not defending PoE, it has things i literally HATE. We will see how Last Epoch will do.

On topic, OP, PoE ain't gonna die because of competition, it got to a point that only GGG can kill it. And this ain't happening anywhere soon. And especially not because of another FTP game.

D3 was/is a very good game

We will see what D4 will look like. But TrashVision is a disease that absolutely needs to be removed from Blizzard in order for me to get some trust back.

Did y'all know that most people play multiple games

I think 10 years from now people will still be whining about how D3 ruined their life.
