visuals have nothing on how amazing the indepth the gameplay and skill systems are.
i personally hate d3s graphics everything looks soft and round and clean poe looks gritty and dirty i love it.
yes the first 30-45 levels or so are a bit slower paced
but trust me end game is NOT at all. especially a3.
also closed beta is almost a totally different game than the current open beta
i dunno at what point you played but they have added about 50 more unqiue items, added a3, tons of passive tweaks, added at least 15-20 skill/support gems
definetly worth playing again
i personally love even the early game cus i dunno if you all remember playing d2 ladders that early game is not fast paced either, takes a while to get ur skills and items leveled to the point where you arent a little bitch
I'm sorry I had to come to respond to this, while I agree MH needs work, PoE is a piece of shit.
I was a level 88 witch, I played end game and got into the level 77 maps quite a few times, but the way the end game works in poe is absolute trash. Ok so first you have to find a level 66 map or buy one. Then you have to find a lvl 66-68 map in THAT map, then get lucky again in those maps to gain higher level maps all the up till level 77? Sorry but when I want to play end game I'd like to not rely on RNG to play it. I know people who have been playing since start of open beta and have never even SEEN a map over level 72. I was sitting on a stash page FILLED with 70-74 maps along with a few 75-77 maps, so don't think I was frustrated because I couldn't get into those maps. I just think the system they have for end game is absolute trash.
Oh and the whole spending many hours theorycrafting at the passive tree? Let me save you all those hours. TAKE. EVERY. LIFE. NODE. POSSIBLE. There's no reason to do anything else besides play path of life nodes. Or Energy Shield nodes after level 85. 1 death is an entire day wasted, so you'll want to get around 4-5k dps and massive life. Why do you think Kaom's is such a needed and wanted item?
This isn't a rage post before everyone comes and goes "lolumad" its more pointing out how little you can actually change a character in path of exile in high level gameplay and how horrible their end game is.
