Straight up

Some of you are so ckuless!

I read D4 killer

End of blizzard ARPG

Do some of you actually understand the difference between the 2 games?
Seriously?

Poe2 is way more complicated than POE!
And you think all those cluless millions who joined D4 who never played an ARPG in their life going to find POE 2 fun? Let alone know about the game?

Seriously, I want POE2 to do well, I play both D2/D4 and POE

But to think one will kill the other shows you still going through puberty and have 0 clue!

TLDR

D4= Packman

POE2 = Prince of Persia

What are you smoking? Blizzard killed Diablo series with Diablo 3 account bound and easy loot , now even worse with Diablo 4 making it like WoW. You don't need to worry about PoE hurting it.

People don't buy d4 because it's simple, they do because it's highly advertised and well marketed as a triple A burner game. Their average player probably plays 30h and move on to their next game. They focused their efforts in making this experience as easy as possible so anyone can somewhat enjoy it.

People download and try PoE because it's a f2p arpg that's marketed as a more complex diablo experience. Its main selling/retention point is that it's a good and deep game, not that it's enjoyable by any random passersby. They monetize their game if people play, so they are financially incentivized to add complexity for the hardcore players.

They are two different models and PoE2's sustainability doesn't depend on its capacity to lure in pump and dump gamers. PoE2 doesn't aim at "killing" D4 by stealing its target audience, it aims at scooping people who eventually realizes that it lacks originality and depth when you invest time in the game.

i think whats the point in here is if you like it simple and brainafk grinding arpg, d4 is still good for some people.

if you wanna go into depth, d4 wont cut it for you probably

what depth does poe have when all of you nerds copy paste someone elses POB, at that point all that matters is the combat and d4's is buttery smooth.

Poe has something diablo doesn't have and its the power fantasy. You farm currency to buy busted items to delete maps/bosses in seconds and it feels really good to do so. Grinding an overpowered character is what keeps people playing. Poe 2 trying to slow the game down will be a d4 clone but clunkier.

D4 is a few days to a week game every reset currently, but I cannot remember the last time I played a poe league further than a couple weeks so that's all it really needs to be. You can't kill a game that sold more in a month than ggg has in the last 10 years combined. Sales =/= quality but wtf are you even saying when you say d4 is dead or killed lmao.
