^ah. Gotcha. Then that's just a poor similarity.

And thats totally fine but like most rpgs the game is designed for what you do after max level/main story and D3 fails miserably in that department. Id argue that most casual players go far beyond stopping after story mode and youre experience is more of 1% than the hardcore rift leaders.

I've played a ton of RPGs and it's pretty rare when I do end game stuff. But I won't disagree there. D3 isn't very good with end game content. After I beat it I was kind of done so...you make a good point.

Most RPG's are absolutely not about after the endgame. I think you just mainly play ones that are.

I've played an unhealthy amount of RPGs and I've only dealt with postgame in the ones I REALLY love. Definitely would disagree that all RPGs are about postgame. Hell most old school RPGs don't even have a postgame.

Name one mmorpg that isnt. Im not talking about console single player Rpgs.

Back on topic though what does D3 do better than POE for the casual only play the story mode and youre done gamer?

POE had 10 acts instead of 5 with voice acted lore items spread throughout the world. A crafting system that allows you to manipulate your gear as you go, and infinitely more skill choices. I give D3 two things above POE aesthetics and character movement is more fluid. Also POE has more challenging content along the way and interesting side stuff to explore.

Most people dont even play d3 story mode anymore because you can power level in adventure mode while farming mats to get you startes for end game.

Goalpost much?

Well I have not played POE for starters

Diablo is on consoles which makes it pretty convenient for my group of friends and for couch co-op, so it's definitely got that going for it!

DwnWthVwls · 09-18-2018, 06:05 AM

Pretty sure POE is now on consoles also. Next!

YorkeDaddy · 09-18-2018, 06:12 AM

On Xbox One, which no one owns

And if it doesn't have couch co-op that would obviously destroy that argument pretty heavily
