Not really, but PoE works, too. I've played it on and off since way back in beta. I've never played Diablo 3, but a lot of people claim that PoE is so much better. I always wondered why exactly.

Well, I got really hooked at first. Then, as I progressed, I thought it got a little tiring at times and involved a bit too much grinding. In spite of that, for some reason I kept on playing and trying to follow an actually proper build and whatnot. Now I have 500 hours on record. Basically, I've played PoE more than anything else on Steam.

The one thing I realized is that it feels entirely different to play with hardcore characters. While I was kind of sad to lose a lvl72 (or was it 73?) marauder that I was so proud of due to desync, which is basically the biggest issue in PoE imo, it was an awesome experience. Carefully preparing and even practicing in softcore for the fight with the final boss in act 2 (his slam 1-shots you in merciless, so if you're melee you need to learn exactly how all his phases work, when to attack, get the right flasks for the fight, etc) was pretty rewarding. It was like playing a different game.

I dare say I only died the way I did because it was that freaking beyond league, which means once you killed a couple of monsters nearby a handful of crazy powerful monsters would show up. For ranged characters it's pretty ok, but melee characters had it MUCH rougher. It would have been a piece of cake if I'd been playing in a regular hardcore league rather than beyond.

I started a new character in HC after that, but haven't made much progress because I havne't played the time for months. But I'll get back to it eventually.

I played PoE for a good while, I finished up to the entrance to act... Can't remember.. Anyway that's all of they game they had completed. Then I got halfway through again and got bored.

I heard they've changed heaps, I might pick it up again.

I was scared to death. I'd already bought my marohi, which is basically the best maul in the game for my infernal blow marauder, and still took my time. It's not difficult to avoid the slams and not get shock stacked if you know his moves and phases, but it's still scary because if his slam hits you... To make matters worse, my character was slow and the marohi isn't a fast hitting Maul anyway. I had multistrike, which is an amazing skill, but you get stuck during the entire animation (3 fast attacks in a sequence), so you have to play incredibly carefully because if you see his slam while you began to attack him... cya. I think I swapped that for a faster attacks gem and crafted a quicksilver flask with a mod that gave me even faster running speed or something. You can't be safe enough in hardcore.

Oh yeah, there are 3 acts total and 3 difficulties. They released an expansion last year where you can train with "masters". These guys provide you with a crafting bench where you can pay to imbue your equipment with certain mods (which ones are available depends on your current suffixes and prefixes though iirc).

If you play in hardcore, the experience is also much more intense. You value the amount of effort you put into progressing through the game much more, since "permanent" death is always just around the corner.

Im pretty sure dota 2 can be insane fun if you're playing with a 5 man stack,you dont believe me?

Its true though that salt is a synonym to dota 2.Why do you even mind that even SaltPriest?

Just download it,its like 5-10gb or some shit.

Its a fanmade dota mod. Don't question it.

IF Gil is a viable character choice, then avenger can be more than a punching bag. Because fuck the lore it is just skins.

^I'll say, I've been waiting for a game like that for ages. It retains everything good from games like Baldur's Gate while improving on everything else. I love the way they did magic, it feels like a mix between DnD sorcerer and wizard. Also, no more dealing with that godawful ancient pathfinding AI that made keeping formation with bigger parties a nightmare...
