Just came in here to say that if you play this instead of PoE- you are retarded and don’t deserve human rights. Cheers.

Guys Blizzard fucked up by following the path of nerfing player power massively with barely anything to compensate....... this has been the exact same path that GGG has been walking down since 3.15. You are deluding yourself if you think POE 2 is going to change anything with the bad direction the game is going down, or that modern day GGG has a better attitude than "you think you do, but you don't".

Fuck retards that think they know better, GGG actually has proven that they know what they want their game to be and have the conviction to fallow on that. They needed to nerf shit as it was becoming ridiculous after 10 years of non stop power increases. While Chris is at the top and making the decisions PoE is in good hands, never forget he told retards like Asmongold that they want people filtered when opening the passive skill tree, if you find the tree to much- fuck off and play something else.

I remain interested for PoE 2, but it has been left in limbo for so long that at this point I'm just not paying attention until it's ready. I guess GGG feels no urgency to release it as competition when Blizzard keeps self-destructing.
Actually, GGG went into overdrive on the development of PoE 2 and the upcoming Exilecon (this Friday!) recently. For the past 2 years it felt like they were diverting more and more resources into PoE 2 compared to the previous 50/50 split between PoE 2 and PoE. They are behind on schedule, because they got cucked over hard by New Zealand's retarded Covid policies and also because Blizzard (most likely) has rushed D4 out of the gate in order to get the best possible price out of the Microsoft acquisition.

That's not to say that the live game is trash. On the contrary, some of the "filler" Leagues like Sentinel are held up as one of the best by the players.

But Blizzard fucked up so bad that now casuals will be turning to PoE out of lack of something to do

You're delusional. Clickbait videos on YT is not reality.
Even casuals like Asmongold abandoned D4

It's fitting you should mention Asmongold when I'm talking about 'clickbait videos on YT'. He's not really a casual gamer, but rather a professionell reaction clickbaiter.
He is pretty casual, he only plays action shit and mmos. His brain would probably explode if he tried some tactical TB or an RTS

I'm not saying he's some Einstein exactly, but he's been a raid leader in Wow for years, so he's hardly a casual gamer. Also, his focus on D4 on his channel revolves only about maximum drama for clicks. I can tell, because I have actually watched some of his other less shitty content (like Wow raids) from time to time over the years.

Just came in here to say that if you play this instead of PoE- you are retarded and don’t deserve human rights. Cheers.

Personally, I have spent several hundred hours playing POE, and simply had enough. Cheers, and go fuck yourself.

He is casual gamer in old school sense before gaming became mainstream, the same way Codex still looks at the world.
Modern "casual gamers" are just casuals, they are not gamers at all.

It would be foolish to dismiss the promotional power these youtubers and streamers have. PoE wouldn't exist today if Kripparrian hadn't been streaming it back in the day.

People want to play what is popular, especially an online game like that. If there is negative buzz around one game and positive buzz around the competitor, they will start flocking to the competitor instead.

Now it's true that D4 wasn't a complete failure on launch the way some people predicted/hoped. But even some off-shoot channel of LinusTechTips covered D4's recent absurd balancing patch and made fun of their campfire chat streams. You can't go more normie than that.

Diablo 2 had it's time and it was great. Let me put it this way... if you're still stuck on that game and using it as the "gold standard" to judge all of these types of games, you're an idiot. D2 has been outdone at this point, more than a few times. It is no longer the gold standard, and I say that as somebody who poured 1000s of hours into it and worshipped it back in the day. I think Diablo 1 is better. D2 is not God. It is not the gold standard.
We have Grim Dawn, so you're right

Turns out that was only half the dungeon. Gank squad was a fake boss. The real boss is cheesy af. Shut the game off after he killed me a fourth time. Die blizzard.
Don't do this to yourself, quitting the game means having to restart the entire dungeon from scratch.

I'm not driving myself insane by trying to beat that cheesy piece of shit at level 46. i'll do it at 50. Summoning ballistas that can snipe you off-screen is horse shit. That is not a skill check, it's called CHEATING.

Make a video saying that to me. I want to hear your voice, and then we can communicate about this.
Ah, Blizztard thinking that talking to them is a privilege someone has earn and not a punishment everyone wishes to escape. That dumbfuck tag next to your name is truly deserved.

D4 was originally supposed to come out years ago. Sorry, but PoE 2 is way overdue if you believe their original statements. Not a surprise in gamedev, but since they said originally PoE 2 was supposed to be the answer to D4, it's hard not to believe that D4's delays & then its dramatic implosion lessened the urgency to deliver.

King Crispy I know you will ignore my request but would you kindly remind these fags that this is the Diablo 4 thread and not the Path of Fagxile thread. They are shilling and derailing the topic with their garbage MMO.

On the plus side I was able to pinpoint 3 PoE fangirls and add them to my ignore collection. Success.

You're suggesting casuals can't play turn-based RTS games?

You cannot even play new aliens game that is RTwP and you admited your brain exploded when you tried new Xcom on harder difficulty (TB for casual gamers) so yea, tnx for proving my point.
