All builds are too homogenized because there is too much power in items and more multiplier from almost all gems.

Screen-wide clears, 70 second maps, etc. So many builds can pull this off that it more or less became the threshold. Pick a skill, slap multipliers and barely even layer your defense. Zoom zoom through maps with a different color VFX.

It's not interesting anymore. I hate not engaging with monsters and their mechanics. I only ever have to deal with boss mechanics and barely do with all the DPS.


pretty much this. they just made getting aoe so fucking easy for every skill, no matter how different the skills may be it all just feels the same.

Even spells vs. melee, you movement skill to a pack then 1 click and blowout fucking screens with either lol, the only time you really notice a difference is like at league start before you get twinked out

It's still pretty fun.
Although I'm unable to put in the amount of hours some of you lot do. If I could, perhaps I'd quit after the first few weeks aswell.

Still better than anything in the genre, I played d2 the same fashion after resets for years and it was statisfying just as poe is

yes, but dont forget the game is already 6-10 years old.

sadly arpg's are a dying breed imo

largely because the ability to play with large multiplayer groups from around the world will only continue to be limited as graphics quality increases.
this is something all the idiots screaming for a d2 remake don't seem to comprehend; even if d2 was remastered into HD graphics the party play itself would decrease in quality.. we all want to be able to play with our friends all over the world for a combined effort. Not have a bunch of single player(multiplayer/online requirement) games.
POE has been pushing itself further and further into benefiting playing solo
there is next to no reason to play in a party.


thats always been how i play ARPGs anyways. Even in d3 I just multibox 4 characters, fuck playing rng loot drop games with other people.

The bigger issue. Poe is the youtube monopoly of action rpgs and people gravitate to it because everything else is vimeo and dailymotion. Just think if ggg put a no nonsense all business female in charge and started slashing entertainment for revenue. I wonder how much people would defend the game then.
