if TL2 ever got private servers, we could talk about this comparison and it would be a very hard comparison.

but poe is really the closest thing you'll get to diablo series right now. Yes it is slower.


This.

I would rant about how I didn't really like POE but then Da5id1an would right "not sure if srs or troll".

I think you should play both of them.

TL2 is a good time burning game with a Outstanding Play Through. However it's end game lacks, unless you like to mod games. (Its a mod supported game which killed it for me)
If it had private servers I would definitely be all over this game.

No challenge at all in TL2, end game is pretty derp. Gameplay until you reach capped level is great tho.

poe is an overrated game. the pacing is much slower than d2 or tl2. the animations are bad, especially character animations. the number of 'viable' skills in the game are actually very limited, as are builds in general.  but whatever it's "still in beta". you'll hit walls later on especially if you're not using one of the 2 or 3? proven builds. you'll also find yourself using the same 1 or 2 skills over and over through your character's entire play-through. the game is extremely monotonous and tedious overall. I was midway through merciless and just stopped because it felt like such a chore to play. The art direction, music, and voice work however are great and it's only through extended play do you realize the latent problems of the game. Ironically these problems stem from what at first seemed like the game's strongest features, the gem skill system and passive node tree.


Agreed 90%. Art direction is bad. Game is screaming f2p gfx.

end game is garbage in deciding what Arpg is better. its 99% about pvp.

People seem to forget that it's FREE TO PLAY. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY...

And it's not a pay to win.

Poe Is Amazing. Period.

PS: It JUST went open beta.. Get real..
