I won't be. I've never got the hype behind PoE. I tried it one time and quit. It just seems overly complicated. I have friends who play it and truthfully it just seems like a rinse/repeat cycle just like D2 is so whats the point in switching. I enjoy the MF aspect of D2 and the PvP. To my knowledge PvP in PoE is practically non-existent.

Complicated? You either have the forehead for it or ya don’t. Everything is pretty straight forward

Ah, yea agreed nvm :D. Harbinger league needed rebalancing as well I remember. Been playing since a3 dock farming was a thing :blush:

POE is much more "end-game pve" oriented than D2, but I totally get the overcomplicated sentiment. I couldn't imagine being a new player these days :/

They should make 1-2 legacy leagues and fix their shit. But nope, another new skills with mtx and supporter packs > reworks

Yes... because this skill tree really doesn't look complicated to a new player.

I'm not saying I couldn't learn it. I just can't be bothered to spend hundreds of hours to learn something that def looks overly complicated nor do I have the time to do that.

Damn, it seems the added like 4-5 new rings to that madness since the last time i played that game, it is not a bad game, but not comparable to d2, it is like comparing sand with gold

Its funny, first time playing poe the skill tree was confusing as hell. But then i reached the atlas and suddenly the skill tree seemed easy as hell in comparison

That tree is like only 10% of the learning curve, and it literally has a search bar to help ya find what ya need

I think they mean bloat. There's a decade of leagues crammed into one league and it overwhelms anyone who didn't play every single league. Most people want to sit down and have fun, not play a game with 30 wiki pages for info, 5 trade pages and hours of their day researching and reading rather then play a game.

If it's overwhelming lookup a build guide...literally one of the best parts about POE is you can find something you wanna play, and someone else has already figured out how to make it work lol.
