It's going to corpse walk just fine, bro. The way they treat the game and development will ensure that diablo four will waltz all over it. It doesn't matter how D4 is going to turn out when poe just burned all the goodwill in two years.
>dude PO is so le bad now, I saw so many reddit hate last week >o btw everybody loves activision-blizzard these days they are so too big to fail, only trolls hate it, as a matter of fact, only true gamers such as myself can really enjoy the subtelity of overwatch2's monetisation ok
I wouldn't mind seeing D4 being a good game but what we've seen already shows it's completely uninspired garbage with the most boring imaginable gear and skills.
Unironically this. Going to have fun with the game, and having friends around will be a bonus. They simply dropped out of poe a long time ago, and will never touch it again after all. At least with d4 they will be lured back in for some arpg fun every now and rthen.
>reddit space >random non sequitur sentences that sounds like an AI made them
IS this really going that bad on the white rat site? Schizo larp all day has taken over?
It really can't be overstated how awful PoE's gameplay is. It's hard to even call this trash a game. It's truly just a farming simulator for mentally ill addicts.
not being a mmo with monster respawnsw on a timer and daily raids are kind of an auto-win already. And that was before they introduced the "battle pass" pay to win, the literal horse armors, and the shitty stat system that makes D3 looks deep
I can see how poe tards are going to get filtered by d4. It's two different styles of games, one is asking mechanical skill, the other is pure grind numbers autism that takes only time.
By doing nothing.
Diablo 4 will most like crash and burn less than 6 months after release and PoE will keep chugging on as it has been for the last few years. State of the game isn't the best now but even in its worst state PoE will 100% be more enjoyable than Diablo 4. We can already see the writing on the wall. Blizz will charge $70 for an unfinished game with a battlepass and MTX and will constantly be reminding you to spend spend spend because Blizzard has no shame and Blizzgays will never stop lapping it up. PoE costs probably $20-30 at the most to buy the good stash tabs and has one of the best gear crafting systems in gaming. I have at least some hope GGG will pull their head out of their ass and improve the quality of their game whereas Blizzard does not deserve a scrap of good will from anyone. There is no reason to expect anything from Blizzard other than a steaming pile of dogshit designed to suck even more money out of their lobotomized fanbase.
Lmao, blizzard is already preemptively killiing D4. >special edition of D4 without the game >battle pass >delux battle pass
And that is only the monetization we know off before the launch. The game will still end up being a success with blizzdrones flocking to it. But as long as PoE does not go full moron they are fine.
They go full moron periodically. At least they still show that they can go back on frickups when they removed archnemesis. Which 100% was the bald guys idea and only lasted in the game that long because of it.
>At least they still show that they can go back on frickups when they removed archnemesis
wait when did this happen? did they fix the loot drought too?
nah loot is terrible. You get frick all from maps or altars now. The economy is in complete ruin with divs being really scarce and chaos raining from mobs like candy. There's never been worse inflation and if you didnt league start to get ahead of the curve youre completely fricked. All of your time spent grinding will get you pennies
The frick are you on about? Altars are legit insane atm. Red altars shit chaos and other currency, while blue altars are for the gamblers with div high rolls and div card drops.

did you read what i wrote or are you just fricking stupid? Red altars raining chaos and no other shit is the entire reason for league inflation. Your gumballs are worth nothing you fricking homosexual
This league removed archnemesis. The loot seems fine as well, but i have not gone full MF this league. Just fricking around with an average build gives me a few div an hour tho.
Is the lethality as high as it was with Arch? I remember league starting with RF and still getting randomly shredded on yellow maps.

Strawman. Reread what you wrote you dumbass. Your first post was how altars don't drop shit anymore, and your second post was how altars drop too much currency devaluing it.
Oh wait, you are a blizz shill, what would i even expect.
>better cosmetics
D4 cosmetics look way better than PoE's and they don't cost $500 like PoE's do
>better build diversity
LOL. PoE has less build diversity than D3. PoE every single league it's the same dozens skills being used by 99% of the playerbase. The vast majority of PoE's skills have a 0.1% or under rate of use LMAO
>better difficulty
PoE has no difficulty curve. You either blow everything up with 1 click or you die in 1 hit.
>better speed
PoE has no sense of speed. Every single build uses the exact same zip around the screen speed.
>better weight
LMAO you are mentally ill. D3 and D4 have the best combat systems of any Diablo-like game and nothing else comes close. PoE physics feel like a chink diablo knock off and the engine is so shit that it doesn't even know how to handle melee combat. Almost every melee skill in PoE is actually just a ranged attack LMAO
>better vision
PoE has no art style. Nobody can tell you what PoE's "vision" is because the shit looks like it was put together from the unity asset store
I never played Diablo 3 at a high level, this just looks like PoE but slower
The only real difference is PoE will kill you if you stand still AoE-ing like a bufoon.
Except since Archnemesis mods got added to the base game you started seeing mobs with a gorillion resistance modifiers on them that took a while to kill.
>build diversity
I hate this fricking reddit meme. PoE has insane build diversity, just because the casual masses refuse to roll anything but the most meta shit, does not mean that there are not thousands viable builds out there.
>Implying Diablo 4 is not gonna be a trainwreck.
D4 wont do shit against PoE. The real question is whether PoE can survive Chris' "vision" of making the game worse.
you're actually right, because poe is mostly played by bots and third worlders who make their living via selling shit to a handle of addicts. those bugmen will continue grinding poe regardless.
meanwhile D4 will go on to sell tens of millions of copies
The best thing that could happen to Path of Exile is losing a couple hundred thousand moron players to Diablo 4. People acting like player counts and sales numbers are some actual indication of quality deserve everything they get.
it's not about fun. the game is genuinely made for addicts. GGG has been trying to forcibly reel it back and slowly trying to turn PoE back into a real game again, but as you can probably guess the addicts who play this shit absolutely lose their minds any time the devs try to introduce actual gameplay to the game.
For many years PoE was just a "click 1 button and watch an entire screen full of monsters instadie" repeated x infinity. This is what the addicts wanted so they could efficiently farm more fake currency so they can then buy botted items.
Anon I can tell you're a shill spitting out prewritten opinions.
Prove that you've played Path of Exile beyond the first few acts. Tell us something that someone whose at least gotten to red maps should know.
>trying to turn it into a real game >by making it a chinese grinder where your time is completely worthless and they keep power creeping the end game with chase items to make you grind endlessly
They are turning it into a gacha
I started playing in sentinel, loved sentinel. Hated lake of kalandra so much but I still made it to maps and further, this league is honestly based as frick. Running explosive arrow ballista elementalist and it feels degenerate and I love it
>PoE turned to shit >D4 will be shit >Riot will probably announce some super chink turbo monetized League version of Diablo that will be a disappointment but hyped to the heavens by their drones
I genuinely have some faith in Riot when they're not working on actual League of Legends. TFT is the best version of autochess and Legends of Runeterra is great as well. It's just that League has been getting more and more dogshit every year as they've clearly moved all the devs that care about fun to their secondary projects. Likely because they're meant to cater to NA and EU instead of the slant-eyes.
poe is having an average league with average player number >TICK TOCK POE IS DEAD. I DONT EVEN PLAY THE GAME BUT SOME CLICLBAIT VIDEO SAID IT WAS DEAD SO I PARROT THEM
I have no faith in Diablo 4. PoE in its worst state (say ~2013 when desyncing was a massive issue, or 3.15), the game is still superior in every way to Diablo 3. I even gave Diablo 3 another chance this last season and holy shit I was so bored after two days.
Redditors, normies and casuals have had a grip on the design choices for far too long. GGG has caved in to their demands and buffed player power immensely. There needed to be a nerf and if you think otherwise you're part of the problem. they should still reduce the grind and I believe they will You're just a mindbroken doomsissy who screams at everything because it's fun to shit on the game
>im going to play d4 and poe2 and have fun in both
Same. D4 is a more casual game with PvP that you can complete in one or two weeks. PoE2 will be a more long term and complex game.
yeah diablo is a good time. it's nice to not have to worry about ultra min maxing and as a bonus your character looks cool without spending $20 for each individual cosmetic item in a store.
>im going to play d4 and poe2 and have fun in both
Same. D4 is a more casual game with PvP that you can complete in one or two weeks. PoE2 will be a more long term and complex game.
The same way it survived diablo 3
So it will stop existing. Sounds like D4 is going to win big.

Both can be bad you brainlet moron
It won't even survive until D4 launch, bald killed it
It'll probably just get more players through it.
I wouldn't mind seeing D4 being a good game but what we've seen already shows it's completely uninspired garbage with the most boring imaginable gear and skills.
every skill in PoE is just [differently colored AoE blob]. and the game literally doesn't even have melee because their engine is so awful.
PoE has much better itemization than Diablo 3/4 but that's about it
That's why I'd definitely welcome something new but D4 isn't going to be it.
D4 will be fun to play casually for 2 or 3 weeks every 3 months.
PoE/PoE2 aren't fun ever.
Unironically this. Going to have fun with the game, and having friends around will be a bonus. They simply dropped out of poe a long time ago, and will never touch it again after all. At least with d4 they will be lured back in for some arpg fun every now and rthen.

One word: blizzard
not being a mmo with monster respawnsw on a timer and daily raids are kind of an auto-win already. And that was before they introduced the "battle pass" pay to win, the literal horse armors, and the shitty stat system that makes D3 looks deep
by nature of being f2p while diablo 4 isn't, poe will survive. I haven't played poe in around 3 years but it'll definitely keep chugging along.
Being a free game
Diablo will have no endgame and appeals to casuals. They cater to two completely different demographics
I can see how poe tards are going to get filtered by d4. It's two different styles of games, one is asking mechanical skill, the other is pure grind numbers autism that takes only time.

Yes monsters in D3 don't die in 1 click like they do in Chink of Exile
Except since Archnemesis mods got added to the base game you started seeing mobs with a gorillion resistance modifiers on them that took a while to kill.
pretty good. looks like the devs aren't completely moronic then

Based game enjoyers
Well its easy, Diablo 4 looks great no doubt, but it will have shemales, turd suckers, chimps, and their ilk.
When and why did people suddenly stop hating Blizzard? There was enough scandals and ccp controversies to fill a lake up this year.
nobody gives a frick what a company does if they still like their products
But nu blizzard games aren't good either
poe is a skinner box gambling game
You don't honestly think that current Blizzard is capable of developing good games, do you?
