I played through the first difficulty then halfway through the second before I played something else I think tw3 came out or something.

Really liked how you could have a million different summons though took this SS awhile back to show my friend who loved necros in D2 and was royally pissed about D3

A pretty shit Diablo clone. It if wasn't F2P, nobody would have even touched it.

It's about as complex as Diablo 3 once you realize that the skill tree is nothing but small stat bonuses spread out to make it look complex.

At least with Diablo 3, you have a much more polished experience overall with mildly entertaining combat.

PoE is basically a game made by brazilians, for brazilians.

The game would be so much better if they just removed ALL the health nodes form the skill tree and balanced the game accordingly. Having your build be 70% health/ES just to progress is dumb as fuck.

>>322294879
there's seasonal leagues that last 3-4 months, each one gets new mechanics added to the game

when the seasons are done, those characters/items get put into Standard league, which is permanent

most people prefer to play on the seasonal leagues because it gives a fresh economy and xp ladder

>shit trade system

these 2 are true, the others aren't

almost all the gems are viable, unless your definition of "viable" is "the absolute best" in which case there's always going to be only a few.

I've been top 15 in 2 HC leagues and haven't spent a dime on the game for stash tabs. They give you plenty of space. The only reason you would need to buy more is if you were incredibly autistic about making sure you vendor for recipes which is only ~0.2% of the playerbase.

/poeg/ here pic related is our most loved pasta


we have a shitty dev team with zeaots who believe they can do no wrong.

a horrible arbitrary progression system that helps no one with 0.0001% having access to the final endgame content

a skill tree that REALLY isn't as complex as it seems

a skill system that is paved with false choices

gameplay revolves around holding 1 button

see you in /poeg/!


also most of the skills are gutter trash, this one isn't even an exaggeration ,if you've played the game there's like 3 good skills in the entire meta and everything is just horribly underpowered/weak/shitty or unviable due to mechanical input

It is good once you get into it. Act 1 is slow as fuck and pretty much a tutorial. But Act 2 onwards is golden. I can't wait for the expansion they apparently want to do. Especially if they do make a proper gunslinger class.

>but can PoE be boiled down to "killing skeletons to acquire stuff to kill more skeletons"?

As can literally every video game ever, yes.

Maybe you should buy a Toyota instead.

No build can use all of Headhunters Mods. I lose out on added projectiles (useless for bossing) but I get stuff like Critical Hits deal More Damage mods which is absolutely nuts.

In my opinion HH is like mandatory for coc with cyclone due to abysmal movement speed, speed aura/quickness/frenzy charges make you move so much faster. Helps that you get ALL mods.

>Can't do the "endgame" dungeons because you need to grind for Skeleton keys.

Have you not gotten the blueprint yet? Or gone to the undead Blacksmith in the Necropolis?

I do agree about some of the grinding though. It would be nice if you could respawn the enemies whilst ingame instead of having to go back to the main menu and reload.

"you shoot things and then shoot things" is every fucking FPS ever for example

Hmm I wanna play demolitionist something else, but can't decide. Any input? Would go dual pistols too. How is that dual pistol sorcerer? Occultist appeals to me because I like poison and dots but it looks odd and I'm not a big pet guy unless it's done right.

Skill grid means that anyone with half a brain is going to search up popular skill builds and copy it because some loser already did the math for you.

Gameplay consists you spamming one, maybe two buttons over the entire duration of the game.

It's alright for a while but I don't really get the appeal of it.
>>
>>322304987
>Have you not gotten the blueprint yet?
Of course I have it. Doesn't mean you don't still have to grind for fucking Ectoplasm to make them, which there's no efficient way to do.

If you're going to make the player grind, you need to make it something they can actually efficiently do, and Grim Dawn didn't get that right.
>>
>>322305015
except there's no skill required in arpgs (autistic role playing games) and you play against npcs. there's a thrill playing against other players and because fps is generally skill based your limit isn't restricted by fucking gear and terrible drop rates. i bet you're a spic

Yes, until you learn the ins and outs of the game and start experimenting with your own builds.

Welcome to video games.

>It's alright for a while but I don't really get the appeal of it.
Time for another game of LoL?
>>
>>322305224
That is a fair point about the ectoplasm. There really should be some NPC that sells those sorts of mats at an increased cost. Or some sort of alchemist that can make those mats in exchange for other mats.

Besides that GD is damn near perfect in my eyes. My only complaint being the lack of hirelings.
>>
>>322305439
The thing is, it's a game about grinding for better gear. All ARPGs are. PoE gets it right by making maps easy to reset, easy to increase modifiers and drops in, and making the math to figure out what you need to do easy.

Grim Dawn forgot that. It's got a cool story, cool locations, and great expansions on Titan Quest's concepts, it just missed a few details.
>>
>>322293335
Even though I wasted 3 years playing PoE I have to agree with you. That was there original plan, to make the game as hardcore as possible focusing everything on "muh mechanics" and forgetting every other aspect that make ARPGs good
>>
>>322305419
>Yes, until you learn the ins and outs of the game and start experimenting with your own builds.
very few people learn the fucking ins and outs and make their own builds. the game is just fotm bullshit with everyone playing builds some autist figured out to be mathematically the best. then the game gets balanced around these broken builds so if you're not at least basing your build off them your character is trash
>>
>>322293335
I'm inclined to agree, but for the simple reason that the skill tree isn't organized in an optimal way. The overabundance of stat nodes and kooky curvatures to keep it circular make it look a lot more confusing and complex than it really is.
As far as ACTUAL complexity, the skill tree could use a lot more. It's actually really basic and dead-easy to make a build that isn't retarded by just moving to notables that look good for your skill of choice.
>>
>>322305845
Well I am hoping they do some stuff to rectify that in the expansion. Given what the premise should be, the idea of random maps and those modifers would work well. Fingers crossed.
>>
>>322305845
I think you exaggerate maps in poe. Just because you roll a 150 quant mob with 30'packsize doesn't mean jack. One thing the GGG Devi don't get is that players WANT items and ore maps, instead we get tier 3s dropping in t10 maps with no notable loot besides chromed. Games fucking shit at drops.
>>
>>322306083
>very few people learn the fucking ins and outs and make their own builds
Very, very few people ever own more than 1 Exalted orb. Very, very few of those will ever buy a mirrored item. What's your point? Most people in any game only ever play casually.

>>322306250
I know it doesn't mean anything, you can run a ridiculous MF build and get nothing. Hell, you most likely won't get anything. That's called grinding. The point is, it's grinding that's easy to do. It's accessible, because that's the point of the game.
>>
>>322306250

So you want good items raining down in every map you play? They already increased the drop rate of T1 uniques enough, it's pretty bad that mjollnirs are 1EX, I prefer items actually being rare like in pre 2.0. If I wanted stuff to drop just for the sake of stuff dropping I would play Diablo 3.
>>
>>322306428
I get what you're saying but the thing is we shouldn't be grinding for content. Gating content behind rng and not player builds is stupid, this is one thing d3 gets right with grift gating through clear speeds. Poe just gates via rng, nothing rewarding about that. I want to grind for gear, not content

Gating content behind builds just leads to cookie-cutter webbuild stagnation.

which is actually the same shit that happens now you fucking idiot except you have to grind 500+ hours to get your unique or sit there for 10 hours playing the market game with spics who don't barter and are always looking to rip you off

Grim Dawn is shit because it has no server side characters. It's 2015, nobody wants to invest hours farming the perfect item when they can just cheat it in
>>
>>322305131
I'm using Arcanist, but you really only use it for the buff it has. The goes from "cool" to "crazy" when you get its next trait in line, which has a chance to add random elemental DoT damage. So that may be up your alley. It is a fire heavy build because of all the +burn/+fire damage floating around that adds electrical later. The AoE Freeze and the Damage reduction shields are good along the way within the tree. Doubt I'll get anything else or Arcanist, but want thermite mine and mortars from Demo to help out at point blank ranges.

Be forewarned, you will not have DW until 25. Before then 2H rifle is not bad if you pick up the arcane missile spell from the start of the Arcanist tree. You can weave a spell cast between shots to make up for how slow they shoot, just set it to right click. Or go gun/shield for a bit of extra protection.

Not sure about the rest, may need to look around and just see what the builds have.

Are there actually console commands or anything for Grim Dawn? I'm not aware of any.

>Hey guys we made this skill that can hit an enemy multiple times, what damage effectiveness should it have?
>IDK 120% LOL

GGG keeps fucking making new skills/items/passives/rebalanced skills that are ridiculously overpowered and force everyone to use them for maximum efficiency builds. At the same time they usually gut the skill that was overpowered before and make it worthless, so there's already one less viable option in the game to begin with.
Every league is just one or two memebuilds that dominate and you'd have to be retarded or extremely committed to mediocrity to not use them. 90% of the skills in the game are putrid shit and there's so much overlap between them that they're all shit in basically the same way.
>>
>>322293076
After beating it solo and played a league for a few weeks with two buds I have to say it's pretty boring. Ultimately I just find the combat to be incredibly stiff and doesn't latch on to me. The rest of the game's systems just appear to be convoluted for sake of being convoluted.

Yeah, ok, let's just download that shit.

It's a completely free game with gameplay and graphics that completely shits all over Diablow 3. I like it a lot.

I'm running a Dual pistol build with a Demo/Occultist. Curse of Frailty sets up decent crowd control for the Demo skills. Plus a few pets to pull aggro and heal you. So much fucking fire everywhere. And so many explosions that it would make Michael Bay erect.
>>
Pretty good. It has a lot more mechanics to play around with than other ARPGs.

I really feel it could do with a lot more polish with the action. It feels even clunkier than Titan Quest was. On the plus side last time I tried it they'd finally fixed the awful fucking desynch.
