      Honestly this, I've done countless Diablo 2 characters to this day, have played through a couple poe seasons ect....I love this genre. But I can never stick with GD past the first few constellation unlocks. It's just missing something that hooks me. Grim Yawn indeed.

        The trade economy is the massively multiplayer part, you might not think a game can be and MMO without it being a WoW style with people wondering about doing their own thing within a shared instance, but you're wrong, the trade economy influences the value of everything you acquire which influences the rate of your progression which influences your progression through the gameplay systems. You could choose to compare SSF PoE to Grimdawn if you desire but that is no different from comparing playing Guild wars 1 solo to playing Dragon age: Origin, as in, you'd be a moron.

            To say that the trade economy of PoE is irrelevant and not worth mentioning in a comparison is to reveal you are dogshit at the game and you are to be ignored.

            Also comparing the trade in GD to the economy in PoE is moronic.

      Ironically you spend way more time grinding in GD because it's solo-enforced, unless you cheat yourself the item. PoE I grinded for like, four hours a day and bought a mageblood within a week, GD I played way way way way WAAAAAAAAAY longer finishing my AAR warlock trying to get the fricking pieces from the goddamn dungeon.

                I've already done literally everything there is to do in grim dawn, it's just a fact, grim dawn is far grindier all things considered. if you wanted the most expensive item in the entire game of poe, you can grind even low level content at a pace that would get you that in under 100 hours if you were REALLY slow. out of my 846 hours in grim dawn, well over 100 were just grinding singular pieces for chaos AAR because of how items affixes work in grim dawn.

Camera bugs, terrain bugs, enemy AI bugs including bosses, just constant non stop barrage of bugs every single time.

        Anonymous

        The gameplay variety in PoE is much wider than GD, so even if it's 1 button the dopamine hits come from more than just pure combat.

        Also, most PoE builds are not 1 button, unless you're dogshit. Usually you have at least a Damage skill, some buff/CD esque skills (banners, totems, Vaal skills, blessings, offerings etc), 4-5 flasks which need to be pressed every 8-10 seconds and a movement skill. As you invest more into a build you're able to shave off buttons by automating things like flasks or triggers, and you can reduce the amount of times you need to press other buttons by increasing buff uptimes through things like skill duration, but those options are not available until endgame, sometimes very deep into end game.

            Even RF has buttons, the main skill just isn't one of them. Infernal cry is used for clear before Maven boots, you probably have an arcanists brand with double curse, you are probably applying exposure through wave of conviction and you probably have a firetrap if you dont want your single target to be dogshit. All of that with 4-5 flasks and the movement skill.

            Obviously you can just walk around at base move speed, press no button and still kill things with RF but you'd be doing literally pathetic damage relative to if you did a rotation properly.

    Go play black desert if you want to grind packs of enemies, at least the button spam is more interesting, camera free, and good movement.

      after getting Lokarr Set, reps and Clarity pots and multiple playthroughs, the campaign can be done in 4-5hrs, meaning you complete normal/elite/ultimate and get to level 94, it seems bad at first since GD is a slower pace game, but in reality its really easy and quick

      This league has one of the most rewarding mechanics in the game's existence, where people constantly drop 60-70 divines per map and mirrors left and right.

      moronic take, first the trade site hasn't been third party for literally years and second it's clear GGG do not give a frick about the RMT trader economy, in fact they have actively completely obliterated it a couple times. The best examples being when they flipped the values of Exalts and Divines, and most recently when they patched Hinekora's locks to not work with the double corrupt, tanking their price from 200div to 5div.

        Why do you need a trade site? Why can't you just have a normal trading interface directly built into the game? Why do i have to message some random frick and hope he replies?
        Why can't I just buy the items for the listed price, which will also incidentally stop price fixers that deliberately price the item low, then never reply to you to drive down the prices.
        Why are PoE players so accustomed to eating shit? You know they aren't going to change that in PoE2 either.

              Thats how Mirror crafts are made but you think every 1-20div item you're buying is the result of that type of crafting? You're delusional, people make their own gear with their own grinding, then they make better versions of their own gear and sell their old shit to idiots like you.

              Maybe they have to save up to buy a base, maybe they have to save up to purchase a frick ton of essences, but people make their own shit, and they thrive off of morons who can't tell a suffix from a prefix.

                >dude just collect currency and go through a dozens fricks via a godawful trading system so you can buy crafting currency to have a chance to craft something
                Thanks, that's exactly my point for why this game is trash.
                Ever saw a streamer craft shit, with his fricking 300+ stacks of crafting currency which he rolls through all of it, then instantly has someone whisper to him offering him 200 more? Normal people don't have that.

                How does this logic even work? How can every item be bought for 10x cheaper than it is crafted? Obviously the cheapest way to get ANY item is to craft it.

                Rog is an early mapping solution to shit gear, he wont make the most overpowered items, if you need influenced, fractured bases, or corrupted implicits hes no good but hes great at rares that can carry you through your void stones and most of your favourited maps. By which point you can drop Expedition and choose a better farming strat to purchase bases/crafting materials for bigger crafts.

They think making 30ms boots with life and res is some arcane ritual that only RMTers can possibly imagine, then seethe when their 2c that took all day to grind can't buy anything. It's literally just shitters malding because they heard PoE is a game for smart people and when they get filtered it's not that THEY are moronic it's somehow the games fault lmao.

    I enjoyed Grim Dawn a lot, and got into it before PoE, but there's a reason I finished everything in GD in roughly 600 hours HC and why I've put 6,000 hours into Path of Exile. Also PoEs combat is objectively better, I don't mind GD's but it just doesn't have the reactivity that PoEs does, most fights are just standing and face tanking or kiting slowly because of how limited the mobility options are, even after they added movement skills.

    In addition, I really really really hated the endgame of GD involving so many consumables. I don't enjoy consumables in any video game, they're tedious inventory management and buff simulators that are used to waste your time and fill holes in item design. Flasks in PoE while also very annoying are a shitload better than popping whatever 8 consumes I needed to fight Kalagadra.

    I hope they make a grim dawn 2 though with a more modern engine, their old engine isn't cutting it anymore and they have everything ready to make what could be the best ARPG of all time, instead of fricking around with a shitty town builder that literally nobody asked for. Hopefully they take the step that ARPGs need, which is using WASD movement to allow for casting/attacking on the move. Having to stand still for every single action in either game is absolutely moronic and antiquated, it needs to end.
