>forgot to make gameplay fun

damn

not a lot of competition until lost ark comes out

diablo 3 is the only real online one, everything else is pretty much offline and single player

>yfw it means nothing
>just makes the 6-12 hour levelling process smoother and less repetetive
>meanwhile 95%+ of your character's time is going to be in maps that is the same old content

I'm still excited since a lot of other shit like balance changes and some new items are most likely coming out with this patch, but people being excited for this patch and hyped for it just from what we've seen so far is silly, to me.

People think HOLY SHIT, 6 MORE ACTS but in reality it's basically just a major update that adds 4 hours of content that you do once per character. When a character's playtime will be dozens or hundreds of hours.

>find 6 link item
>put in best skill and 5 support gem
>spam that skill until the end of time

whoa...

I wanna fuck Yuuko and Mio

Leveling is still hours of suffering before getting to the comfortable treadmill of mapping

>guys
>lets make a game where you can make any sort of character you want to
>then make the difficulties of said game so hard that unless you follow a strict character guide your character WILL be shit

Path of Exile and Diablo 3 are both shit.

Honestly, the only ARPG worth playing is Diablo 2.

>spend all that money making new levels
>still won't buy decent servers

The servers are fine, except Amsterdam and Singapore

haha just get good at building your character haha no shit you can't just pick a random garbage build and kill shaper :)))) wow i hate you fucking casuals trying to turn my hardcore game into a casualfest like diablo... go back to diablo...

hahahahaha what do you mean that out of literally thousands of build archetypes encompassing literally trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions of possibile individual builds only like 100 can even do endgame maps? haha fucking special snowflake using your special snowflake builds... hahaha how dare you expect to be able to actually make use of the options the game gives you haha :) fucking gay casuals!

this game is perfect i want chris(t) wil"son(ofgod)" to have my babiys :())))))

These devs are complete amateurs.

I just look forward to getting snow map(s).

>Having to replay the campaign thrice

no thank you

fpbp

By this metric, Diablo II is garbage.
By that metric, your opinion is.

>By this metric, Diablo II is garbage.

Who would have thought

>acts are copy pasted maps

hmm, really makes you think.

>Having to replay the campaign thrice
Except you dont you retard. They replace replays.

not a thing anymore

pay attention

Only once after update 3.0

>buy tabula rasa for 10c
>clear all content
Whoa... Such a deep game!

hell yes path of exile im gonna make a cool buil-
>oh this build can hardly get past difficulty 1 guess i'll try looking for an online build
>alright for this build you need these 10 rare items
>uninstall after playing the beach act yet again

too late lol

>ARPG are still boring grindfests

wew

>comparing topdown mmo with arpg

Seriously nigga?

no man, all these arpgs suck, but the korean grind fest arpg where each skill you cast has a 5 second animation to wait through will surely save the genre. I know because i masturbate to the female characters

This and other retarded decisions (like hoe "legit" player market and cash shop cosmetics have higher priority than fixing gameplay issues from beta) are the reason why I dropped it.
It's a shame, I really liked the closed beta, the game had potential to be more than lets play/twitch material and forum discussions about cookie cutters.

>grim dawn exists
feels good man

>this fucking dense

I am not judging games you stupid fuck, comparing two different genres that work in different ways is absolutely retarded.

Are you mentally deficient? You can beat normal and cruel basically naked and without passive points.

record yourself doing it and post it one by one via webm you wont

why is Sup Forums so casual?

grim dawn is better

youtube.com/watch?v=cBgFCnL09aw
youtube.com/watch?v=J-uNyfpqIXc

Why would I? Any crap you can buy at vendors is enough to beat the game,
If you have trouble beating normal you must be the dumbest person on planet or you are just trolling.
Pretty much every league I spend next to no passive skill points on my first char untill I finally think about what kind of a build I want to play.

>basically naked
>6slot chest and fuckamounts of sockets everywhere
rly makes me think...

really makes me think you need to go back to candy crush instead of shitposting on Sup Forums

Still waiting for that naked/no-skill run, user.

act expansion
marketing at its finest

>You can beat normal and cruel basically naked and without passive points.
I never said that about merciless, and thats what that dude posted. Still, If you think that 6 links are that mandatory and you are unable to play with 4 links that drop left and right you just proove you barely played the game.

You fucking get 4 link boots/gloves/helmets from quests for god sake.

>Sup Forums is too casual for poe
really makes you think

I hope Lab gets cut down a bit. So boring a zone, that my level 90 HCP character never got any ascendancy

People on Sup Forums are so fucking casual and dumb

> Always online ARPG.

Lol, no ty.

>yfw "working on console release" coincidentally matches the time the game started to go to shit in terms of gameplay.
>melee is dead because controllers
>channeled skills because controllers
>aoe everything because controllers
>massive powercreep because console players
>shoehorned class ascendancies because console players
>labyrinth being very controller friendly while a total pain in the ass to navigate with mouse clicking around corners.

people who follow walkthroughs to be able to play poe past level 20 are fucking pro and intelligent

forgot overpowered flasks because consoles only get 4 of them

Ok now its obvious that you are just trolling. You can stop now.

Now? That was my first post, not everyone has autism and enjoys reading exactly what items to get and what points to put where and what sockets to put together to not have to start a new character 15 hours in.

do you people really believe path of exile is a complex and casual unfriendly game? Do you believe its punishing and you actually have to "gitgud" in order to play it?

Poor blizz didn't stand a chance against cheap tactics of giving your players are severe complex of superiority.

Are you really that fucking dumb

I recommend suicide

>15
More like 30-40, as you jave zero ways to know if your build can do endgame or not till you actually get to it.

stay mad casual

New footage shows they have all five now.

Jesus Christ just don't play games if it takes you that long to level up

You're slow in the fucking head

How can you possibly justify wrecking various builds left and right by revamping the skill tree every few months?

If your excuse is
>muh leagues
You are the casual.

>I'm incapable of devoting myself to a game for more than a few months at a time and I need a fresh start so people who planned ahead and made good choices can't gain an edge over me waah

Defend the reasoning behind not having a free resetable talent tree, and instead starting over from scratch. And remember to take your medicine, it seems like the effect from the last pill is wearing off.

Calling criticism dumb is not the kind of answer I'm looking for.

>adds 6 new acts
>"Whoa that's cool but-"
>Scion is still useless
>Melee is still not viable
>Ranged spells are either super imbalanced or fucking trash
>Half ascension classes are either broken or useless
>An infinite array of unique items that are completely useless and sold as junk in the market enforces a "meta" in the current climate of the game.

I'm excited but GGG is fucking retarded.

>And remember to take your medicine, it seems like the effect from the last pill is wearing off.
See, now you're falling into the same petulance that guy did. The post would have been fine without this shit.

go play standard casual

Except it's not even an option when the constant tree changes cripple and destroy your build after around a year of playing.

>boring 1-2 skill system
>dull passive tree bloated with useless shit
>shit currency system with huge amounts of inflation
>no trading system
>every patch adds more shit leaving the old content unrefined and abandoned
>classes are all the same and very dull
>graphics are shit
>game takes hours to even get playable
>garbage netcode even after their "fix"
>difficulty is just lowering your elemental resistance nothing mechanical
Yeah it's destroying

With infinite free respecs there is absolutely no investment in your character. You could do a complete gear swap with a friend, reallocate and suddenly you're playing a completely different build.

People complain about homogenity in Path now but it would be 100x worse if respeccing was free.

no you're just bad

>boring 1-2 skill system
Play summoner
>dull passive tree bloated with useless shit
wrong
>shit currency system with huge amounts of inflation
three month league economies are fine, if you struggle trying to understand more than one currency then you have brain damage
>every patch adds more shit leaving the old content unrefined and abandoned
wrong
>classes are all the same and very dull
wrong
>graphics are shit
right
>game takes hours to even get playable
right 2x combo
>garbage netcode even after their "fix"
wrong
>difficulty is just lowering your elemental resistance nothing mechanical
Bosses get more clusterfucky on higher difficulties

works on my machine

Summoner is even more boring, please don't ever defend that class again
Yes the passive tree is shit, get over it, Grim Dawns minimal tree is all that's needed
currency system is shit, no excuses
tell me the last time they changed monster boxes
classes are all the same, prove me wrong I dare you to try
also prove their netcode is good
Bosses are always just stand still and click, sometimes you move left or right, that's it

Do you need an /s tag like those fucktards on reddit?

You have to go back, PT.

lmao you're ripping me apart

i no

I've only played a little bit of PoE, I'm just past the first town as a Templar.

For some reference, how long is an Act? When I think act I think Tales of Vesperia, which was basically dividing the game into three pie slices.

How could GGG possibly double(?) the game's content for free?

The idea is to remove the different difficulty levels so you play each act only once.
The game will be the same length, but it will be much less repetetive.

So they're trying to implement linear progression to make it more like a traditional release that you can play from start to finish without grinding?

I've always thought of grinding as just being a part of ARPGs. But to be fair I'm only 21, I haven't played Diablo 1 and 2 so maybe they weren't like that?

>For some reference, how long is an Act?
Maybe a dozen or so zones, with a few bosses, amounting to anywhere from half an hour or so to a few hours varying from player to player.
>How could GGG possibly double(?) the game's content for free?
First, don't underestimate the amount of money they get from supporters. Many are pouring thousands of dollars into this game, so there is undoubtedly plenty of cash to go into expansions. Secondly, they've already created tons of art assets for the current game (like for the map system) that will be re-used in these new acts.

It isn't that you grind start to finish, it's that you have to play the same content three times before you can even start the grind. The six acts sounds impressive for a free release, and it is on a lot of levels, but mechanically it is a quality of life thing. You'll still play roughly the same amount of content before the endgame grind, it'll just be less repetitive on the way. And I'm sure someone will find new optimal farm spots at the end too.
