so you talk of strap-on, games /w gf kek

"Poe Vs D2r" aka Godzilla vs ant.

cross-progression/cross-platform/cross-whatever

whoops

Sure buddy u will buy it

one thing i noticed is how active the d2 trade forms are compared to poe. it could be because it's jsp but I am too not sure, d2 is still incredibly active after 20 years.

Why u quoted me though

jsp and mainly fg is an important reason. Beside that it is an attractive game i played, with breaks, for more then 15 years.
There is not any better site for d2 then jsp especially for trading.
With poe on the other hand you could be banned for using jsp. I think the main reason why poe isnt that active on jsp
The main site of poe and for example poe trade and poe ninja are just as active as d2 on jsp.
poe have all in it to reach the same status as d2 and will exist for the next 10 years or more. In the current state or as PoE2

I think d2R as a big chance to win here and i feel d2 is more balanced over POE. And also d2 is more easier to learn and more players feel nostalgic about it so.

POE has a major problems to find a "balance"...

- Too many random 1shot mechanics in the game, (ALL attacks that can one shot should be telegraphed clearly and ALL attacks that can one shot should be avoidable )
- The potions and regen passives are too OP and thats why we have those stupid 1 shot mechanic in the first place.
- The game is really poorly optimised even with a good graphic card ( Get some heavy lag while doing 100%delirium or harbinger farming )
- Too many useless nerf every leagues
- GGG should bring back the OLD energy shield before the big nerf made around legacy league.

The major problem about d2 was...

- the bots / hacks
- No major updates

And those problems can be fixed easily if blizzard put some efforts into the game so i think D2R has more potentiel to be the next big hit.

I think the risk is worth the reward if you only play league in PoE, also same for D2R upcoming.

We'll see if it lives up to the hype.

20 Hours a day is insane, are u an insomniac aswell? I only came to 15-18 hours for periods, otherwise more like 10 hours a day because of school and work. Only played for 6 years so that is considerably less hours than u managed put in.

I am not proud of the time i sunk in D2, but hey, i had fun while dodging reality.
