    Even PoE gets fricking old fast. The system isn't that complex and quite honestly, 99% of people just look up builds anyway, so who gives a flying frick about the customization.

        They didn't. And they're consistently nerfing player power still. They only walked back on shartnemesis, because even some of their addicted drones stopped playing because of that cancer.

      I've never looked up a build for poe.
      I've also never gotten to red maps because I get bored before that and quit for a league or two.

        I've never used a build from the internet, but I did look up some discussion on build advice. That said, every league I've seriously played, I've played either a sweep slayer or a double strike champion that was pure physical damage, and I did manage to eventually beat Sirus with it. It took refining the same build over multiple leagues to do so, though.

    why does it matter if an arpg is dead? they are single player games first and foremost so player count is irrelevant.
    if you meant dead in terms of content updates that's another thing. PoE's business model is exception in the arpg space and unwelcomed by many (me included)

        no autoloot in the year 2022. Even Torchlight 2 which came out in 2012 has that and POE has almost a decade to fix it shitty loot (too much loot, too little space to store and too little time to pick them all up in a trading scence where bots don't care about all of it)

        I'd rather have all content upfront with a one time payment and wait a year or so for a smaller payment to buy potential expansions. not be strung along for years getting penny and dimed.

      Currency is basically required. Maps is exceptionally nice. Fragments and Essences are good, but you can get by without them if you don't do a lot of either.

      Wait for the sale to rotate in then get currency, map, cards, fragment, and the x4 normal tab pack
      Haven't needed more, maybe a second x4 and unique if hoard too much shit

      Currency, map, and 2x quad only on sale
      Then if you want to spend more, fragment tab, more quads
      If you're sucked in to the game then unique and essence and more quads
      Every other dedicated tab type is junk imo

          Nah, Blight was much worse. Only problem Melee has in Sanctum are the flame turret rooms. 95% of all the bosses and guardians in Sanctum are easiest to dodge by close range circling behind them, just like Izaro (or Souls games).

            Lol nope it's stuff like the lighting mage and the necromancer boss that flood the screen with AoE explosions. Roguelike homosexualry should'nt have overly punishing split-second attacks

              Lightning mage especially. You have to touch the orb turrets with your character to blow them up. So staying in melee range is ironically easier because you disable the mages attacks completely. Fire mage is the one you dont want to stay in close range because of the tiny fire tornadoes bouncing around all over the place, plus the spread fireball shot. Lycia not being melee-friendly is nothing new, all the new pinnacle bosses are melee-unfriendly given how much they teleport all over the fricking place.

    It got too manipulative long ago, I have maybe 2k hours and for some thats small time, but for me it was enough to get burned out 3 times by now and the idea of getting just one more char to endgame feels like total misery, my last time in sentinel league I quit after act2

    Depends what you mean by good. PoE strong side is the depth and that you can go full autism with every mechanic. Like there are 30 minute guides for crafting a single item for a single build or 3 hour video on betrayal.
    But if you're not autistic or a neet and just want to kill shit d3 or torchlight might be better.
    If you're a boomer and have sleep problems grim yawn is better

    I've made 5 or 6 attempts to get into this game since it released, and haven't once managed to reach endgame on account of sheer boredom. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of hours in virtually every other popular ARPG in the last 20 years. I remain utterly perplexed at PoE's popularity.

      It's a maze and online casino coated as an arpg. To some it's hyper effective, and they can't escape once the door shuts behind them. They will spend as much time and money as possible on it, make it part of their personality, and defend all the shit the company pulls on them until their dying breath. You can expect a mass collective suicide next summer.

      it's really deep, it's like the spreadsheet rpg nerds wet dream so if you can get absorbed in that it's great. my issue with the game is everything else is soulless, visually it's vomit and the world and classes are boring etc etc etc. I hope PoE 2 (if it ever comes out) can fix this but i doubt it, it seems every modern game has to be ugly 3d, forgettable sounds, shit characters etc.

        the story was good in the first 5 acts , post-apocalyptic magic not-Rome was done right.

        I never got into the whole gods awakening thing after that and the maps lore is even wierder.

        I still don't get how that freaking island has the resources to do what they do. It's un-ironically a "what do they eat?" situation.

          Oriath is a huge maritime power, they colonize other places and control an extensive amount of trade. Oriath itself is larger than you'd think. I do agree about the story though, first three acts were great, fourth act was a great cap on things, but then act 5-10 just feels like filler content. The idea that the Nightmare was a siphon on the gods' powers that put them all into a torpor was great, but then turning them into the monster of the week in each act made them a disappointment. The atlas then felt completely disconnected from everything else, being this multiverse the player traverses that the rest of the game never even touches on prior to getting to it.

          Post Act 4 should've had Kitava's rapid awakening due to feeding off of Wraeclast and Innocence and the templar should've been a partial antagonist the player only reluctantly puts aside fighting because Kitava's going to eat everything if they don't instead of someone you beat into submission and then have everything turn out hunky dory. All the other gods should only have hints to their presence and at most act through mortal proxies--Ralekesh is a good example of this, brainwashing Gruest to build a new bandit empire but not actually being a present entity you fight directly. The Atlas should've played a partial role in the campaign since both Malachi and Maligaro were seen to have had a "reverie device." Perhaps we should've made forays into it as a quest here and there and set in motion the events that attracted the attention of outer beings like the Shaper and the Maven so that the endgame atlas would've made more sense.

    I have played a lot of arpgs in my days right now none of them interest me. Played poe for a while but it has only gotten worse with every update the last few years, it was best early on. Diablo 1 is still my favorite of all time, d2-resurrected might be the most fun at this point in time.
