POE has 3 different skill trees, a gorillon of different prefixes, suffixes and implicits on gear + 8137891327129837 mechanics from the past seasons added into the base game, and you have to get a PhD in order to play it, its mess. Diablo 4 is much more straightfoward and i dont have to worry about the 50 layers of RnG crafting in to get a gear upgrade.

Shitposter in training, move along.
>too much content is bad
exactly. quality over quantity
Exactly, POE is a bloated mess.
Is the necro league good?
Its a mess, the all flame mechanic + t17 maps created a lot of broken farming strats to farm gorillons of divines and divination cards. The divine orbs value is dropping every day, it reached a point where people are hoarding chaos orbs instead of divines because chaos orbs are valuable to reroll t17 map afixes.
People dropped so many Headhunters because of the new divination cards farming strats that its worth 10 divs now, the economy is completely fricked.
Also, there was farming strat that made some people farm 10 mirrors in a single day and it only got nerfed 2~3 days later.
Ok, but what if I don't give a single frick about muh economy?
If you're a SSF player, you're fricked. The new scarab mechanic is extremely SSF unfriendly because 95% of them are useless and the other 5% are extremely overpowered and required if you want your farm to be efficient, the problem is that there are 60+ different scarabs and the only way to sustain an efficient farm combos of 4 scarabs is buying them from other players. PoE is not balanced around SSF and the devs already stated this a lot of times.
No, I mean what If I just play like a normal person in trade league and don't give a single frick about making a profit, just about making my build complete.
You have to worry about profits if you want to complete your build unless you want to farm and craft every single piece of your gear yourself ( Which is basically SSF )
So basically the new league mechanic is not rewarding and just playing normally will not get you any good drops and only the top 1% parties autistically playing co-op horde all the stuff.
So, nothing's changed from previous leagues I guess.
What changed is that 5-way groups and the top 1% are hoarding even more stuff because the t17 maps + Reworked scarab system + Allflame league mechanic enabled tons of extremely overpowered farms, including the most overpowered farm known so far : The one that made farming 10 mirrors + tons of HH and divs per day possible..
Its pretty rewarding.
You can even change monsterpacks to rats or frogs before starting a map so you can do some real shitty ones.
If you only play meta builds everyone plays, sure you need more currency for the equipment.
Like always.
I play a shitty summoner build and i'm now done with t16 maps. i only spend 40 chaos for 2 shitty uniqes and a nice ring.
Never got so far with such a shit build, seems like they make the game easier over the last year when i played.
I still don't see why I should care. Scarabs were already rarely used in SSF and it would barely affect me if they removed them entirely.
They completely reworked scarabs and what they do.
>the only way to sustain an efficient farm combos of 4 scarabs
You sound like some turbo autist who factors fricking scrolls of identify in his "currency per hour" spreadsheets.
>factors fricking scrolls of identify in his "currency per hour" spreadsheets
You don't? Lmao
Nah, i sound like a person who value his time. You can farm without the use of good scarab combos, but it will take much longer to complete your build.
>the economy is slightly different from last time, it's joever
You Black folk are moronic. Who gives a rotten frick about the state of an economy when everything gets wiped every few months anyway?
I feel they are feeling some sort of inferiority complex from not being able to farm as hard as the top autists. Like the gap between the average player and the top possible is way too big. FOMO to the max.
As as SSF player I would say it's on the meh side.
I'm not doing 40/40 for sure.
League mechanic is quite shit to be honest and you can't even opt out of it.
t17s are a pain just spend 50c to get doable map bruh and they made access to uber bosses much harder.
Lets not forget that only the meta builds are able to farm t17 maps reliably, and if you're using an off-meta build you're fricked.
T17 maps are way too profitable, they need to nerf the loot or nerf its affixes because they disable way too many builds.
As a new player they crashed the economy on chase items so I was able to buy a headhunter and can reasonably eventually afford a mageblood.
I like the Atlas tree personally.
HH is 10 div and 4 flask mageblood is 100 divs ( Divs's price is dropping like mad and its 95 chaos ea already )
Both of those games are shit.
Just play diablo 2.
this
the only problem is you run out of things to do in D2 real frickin fast unless you're a masochist that farms all your own gear
>D2
That's a weird way to say Grim Dawn
GOD, I LOVE RUNNING THE SAME DUNGEON RUNS 90438123789123798327321897123892371983127 TIMES TO GET AN ITEM I WANT !
What's the point of talking about these archaic ARPGs when Moon Studios redefined the genre with No Rest For The Wicked?
Grim Dawn is better than both. Titan Quest 2 will also be better than both. Live service games are trash, and PoE just ripped off the FFX Sphere Grid for the novelty of it.
We know nothing about Titan Quest 2. It's not even the same dev. Do not set yourself up for disappointment so early. Be excited for the new Grim Dawn expansion, which is guaranteed to be of at least decent quality.
I genuinely do not understand why people hate D4 at all. It's just an ARPG with loot, trading and a sizeable endgame. What more do you actually want from the genre?
>D4
>trade
D4 trading system is so limited and pointless that nobody uses it.
Good morning sir
>and you have to get a PhD in order to play it
It takes one or two leagues copying meta builds to understand basic character building theory
Get gud or go play a fricking autobatter or something.
>It takes 2 season of 3 months each just to learn the basics
How the frick is this acceptable? Even the POE devs admitted PoE is too bloated and new player unfriendly and they want to fix that in PoE2.
It's a game you play for years.
Also, "playing a league" basically means "playing for two weeks top and quitting"
Lad, you can work most of it after looking through the tree for about 10 minutes. Once you do that, you can then decide the most efficient way to get there. Wow, so hard. PooEgays truly are the most sub-intelligent homosexuals on the internet.
Stop lying. A new player has absolutely no idea what the keystones even mean.
You're so full of shit it's hilarious. Anybody with an interst in these kinds of games can decode the gameplay in under 15 minutes. The real reason why people avoid PooE is because it's hot garbage with shit animations and lukewarm levels that get old the fifteenth time you roll through them. The hard part is giving a frick about this shit. It's a fricking tedious game. That's the problem.
Stop lying.
If by "decode" you mean read up on stuff for another 10 hours, then it's no longer 5 minutes, you disingenuous frick.
15 IQ posts.
You can stop dude, nobody is buying your shit.
You're being disingenuous as frick, the tree alone is easy to deal with, the problem is that there are TONS of obscured shit the game doesnt explains to you and ALL OF THEM INTERACTS WITH EACH OTHER IN SOME WAY. PoE character building and gearing is a minefield, you can make TONS of mistakes that will make your build bad and not viable, especially if you're a new player.
D4 new season is 2 weeks away and blizz fixed EVERYTHING !
They fixed EVERYTHING?!
DIABLO IV IS SAVED!
Hey guys ! Thanks to this moronic league i could afford a 4 flask mageblood ! Thanks GGG !
I’m joining you soon brother. I got a HH already it’s time for MB to come home.
Loving that high tier strats are making high tier rewards garbage while my 10IQ temple chaos farming is more rewarding than ever. You need this chaos don’t you T17 gay?
It is best to view Path of Exile as a sandbox game at this point. There is a lot of content and you can customize your experience. You can set your own goals.
Some things that really suck the joy out of the game are things like:
>feeling like you have to follow the meta. That there are only ~7 "viable" builds in the game and that the rest are unviable trash.
Literally just pick a skill or whatever and see how far you can get with it. That is actually fun, but you will have to remember that you might not be able to clear all the content with your homebrew homierig build.
>I want to do league mechanic X but i can not because it is not the most efficient way to play
Just do it. Have fun with it. Explore. Enjoy.
basically the poe subreddit is filled with some type of fomo posts and people feel like they are wasting their time because some streamer troony farms multiple mirrors in a day or whatever.
The fun in games of this type is to learn the mechanics and figure out the puzzle. To make progress and get better.
It is a bit similar to another popular autist-catnip game, Factorio. There are morons who will suck out all the fun, by just googling all the most efficient optimized setups and solutions and then just doing it according to a step by step walkthrough.
It really is more fun to just experiment and learn. Read a few guides here and there (poe is especially bad with not having almost any resources to learn the game within the game itself)
The profit gap between t16 and t17 is way too big, its frustrating to know 99% of the builds cant farm them reliably. Also, the uber bosses are now gatekept by t17 maps aswell.
Last epoch has a better base than both, it just needs more end game content and faster seasons.
PoE is a sandbox game. D4 is a game for console toddlers.
>Sandbox game
>You're locked out of the end game content ( t17 and ubers ) if you dont use the few 3~4 meta builds
I mean if you don’t understand any of the mechanics you would have to use a premade build. People make non-meta uber clearing builds all the time.
Not this season, T17 is considered harder than uber bosses and thats one of the major complaints rn. Why the frick the content that is supposed be a gatekeep is harder than the content they're gatekeeping? Its utterly moronic.
Lets not forget the 5th map device slot is locked behind a t17 clear ( And the 5th slot is a very important upgrade. )
both are garbage play last epoch or grim dawn if you want a nu arpg game or D2 if you want a classic one
