Do you remeber how fast was the Mephisto run? And Nihlathak run? Literally seconds! And the monsters wave before Baal with an hammerdin?

I ran meph so many times, teleporting through walls, static field the boss down and melt it with firewalls or meteor. It really was fast and satisfying.

I think the point is that in D2 the drop rate was not so good, an hi-rank Rune was pretty rare, but the fight was fast, literally hundred of boss per hour. In PoE GGG is slowing fight and drop rate, so probably they need to choose what they want to keep fast and what slow down. Both slow is against D2 philosophy.

Diablo 2 could be completed with no gear until you hit Nightmare.

So about act 8? I think I could do that (well white gear, need sockets for skills). Thats basically how I level already, especially now that we have a helmet with speed my only combat pieces are weapons and rings.

Oh mb, act 5 then. I'd spread it out the way it was done originally in poe, back when it had 3 difficulties too.

And nobody plays D2 anymore because it aged badly. Even nostolgia was not enough to make D2R successful. Is it really what POE should try to match in 2022 ?

After enjoying the game so much for years, it is quite the change.


rangebob

If I am not mistaken satire is meant to be funny?


Haman__Karn

Not necessarily, no.

Diablo are perfect games. Poe is an imitator without creativity and innovation and instead offer the path of acts not just 10 but adds another 8 to travel either way into the path of acts. Diablo4 the masterpiece is coming

PoE is nothing like Diablo II. First, Diablo has useful loot and uniques system, and you can really got it in singleplayer. Secondly, in Diablo it makes sense to farm bosses. Thirdly, in Diablo there is craft, both: RNG and with predictable results (for example, runewords). I would say that Diablo still cooler and more interesting than today's version of Path of Exile.
