is this game worth getting into at this point? i have grim dawn but looking to try something else that can help bring in a lil exta fg..

I used to play diablo 2 and diablo 3 as soon as I tried Poe I've never gone back to diablo , this game just gives you almost all you want

never played d3.. have you tried grim dawn? i enjoyed it! so i watched someone stream POE, looks confusing for my simple d2 brain lmfao.

its confusing and challenging game imo

played now for I think 2 years and always learning something new

but as soon as you get how it works and learn more on it its just 10/10

if you were a pvp player in d2, you probably wont like poe because pvp is absolute trash. if you were a pvm player...well you probably still wont like poe, but give it a shot. grim dawn players generally like poe because its very similar, except you can break poe much more easily than you can break grim dawn

current league sucks ass but still a lot better than diablo 3

Even at it's absolute worst state, PoE is better than D3, and better than D2 in all aspects but one, which would be PVP. If you're a D2 player who sees your end game as PvP, you may get bored in PoE. Thankfully when Blizzard ruins their D2 "remaster" and removes the original D2 from it's servers, you'll have a second option

lol grim dawn is shit and you can import items so how the hell is it even remotely harder to break?

Its a good game to try. It does get old after a while. Theres a lot of new content added all the time which is nice for people that play frequently but when youre first getting into it theres a steep and lengthy learning curve. If getting really good at the game in whatever aspect is important to you (i.e. strongest player, most wealthy, etc) it takes a ton of knowledge. You basically have to study a college degree's worth of info to really compete with the best here.

If your goal is making fg like you say imo PoE is one of the best ways to do that. Theres a variety of ways to snowball wealth through flipping items. Again though, the more profitable the flip, generally the more complex or more risky - so a decent amount of experience and reading to understand the game is needed.

grim dawn is fun for a while, same as poe but gets boring for the same reason, no pvp

as for how its harder to break: less multiplication modifiers in grim dawn mean that you simply cant break the game no matter how hard you try and people have tried! but even if you go absolute full dmg (imported dmg items, pierce type, max cunning, max lvl, perfect conversion, some high single target skill like cadence/phant blades in point blank range etc), you simply cant kill the hardest bosses in 1-2 seconds like in poe which is actually something i LIKE about poe (rare i know ). poe is extremely good on that part, meaning if you are good with theorycrafting and have mirror gear, you will massacre the living shit out of everything, and that is how it should be ! a perfectly made char SHOULD be able to do that. in poe you can see someone oneshot shaper, you can see someone afk kill uber elder, shit like that. a game NEEDS stuff like that because too much control constricts players and is not fun ! so that is actually a minus for gd at least in my book but yes, gd is harder to break and i know that because i am kinda a pro with gd !
