I played LE bc I liked to try builds, so the filters were excessive. I don’t trade (might eventually try it but meh) so it felt necessary to pickup A LOT of stuff “in case”. Was fun at first, but not a huge fan of the style of crafting for endgame - it’s great for early - mid game though.

If you’re only going to play 1 build, maybe 2 and focus solely on the items specifically for those builds, sure, I could see loot being fine. But I’m generally a hoarder anyway, and save for waaay too many “I wanna try something” builds, it’s tedious and too much, again, mostly due to HOW the crafting works.

Also the gameplay loop is insanely repetitive, basically equal to d3 or d4. Poe dominates this for a few reasons, and LE will never touch it, at least imo.

To each their own though. LE will definitely have a cult following for years to come, and it will likely continue to do well.

Items droping id'd removes the dopamine aspect of id'ing a perfect item. No ARPG has yet to beat D2's dopamine rush of item drops yet.

poe is stale and repetitive asfuck in the endgame... (what i mean by endgame is once your build is pretty much all setup and youre just trying to perfect it)

you just spam t17s and ubers??? no difficulty scaling?

lastepoch has infinite difficulty scaling with corruption levels... imo THATS whats holding poe back, the only 'infinite scaling' content there is (sorta) is delve pushing.... am i right or am i right? idk

if poe came up with a system similar to corruption then sure, would be nice




you cant compare today's ARPG with d2... back in d2 times your screen wouldnt be filled up with rares every time you killed a pack...

also the dopamine from last epoch when you have a super strict filter and something shows up on your filter is great

Infinite scaling is trash. Any game with infinite scaling is shit. It’s lazy design.

Poe is about grinding loot, drops, crafting, trading, playing fun/chase builds etc..

Last epoch “endgame” is shit. It’s actually worse than d3 lol. Repetitive “infinite scaling” corruption on monoliths, and insta-phasing dungeon bosses? OOooOooO. And for what? There’s nothing to amass in LE. D2 has HRs. Poe has currency, uniques, crafted items, maps etc..

Again, to each their own, but absolutely no way in fuck LE endgame > poe end game.


Infinite scaling is some clown ass d3 lazy 2 brain cell dev shit.

And yea, delve is infinite and literally better design than monoliths rofl, so poe already offers that kind of (shitty) game play.

LE has, at least for me, basically no dopamine spikes lol. Some t7 time you gunna brick when you try to crafting it? Oooooo.

no point playing after a week or 2 imo

I agree with OP - arpgs have kinda stagnated. It was a slippery slope and now we’ve slid down it, there’s no going back up the hill. Guess you’d just say Pandora’s box or something.
