PoE is still boring compared to D2

here is why i think why:

solo farming is boring, and group farming with randoms is not efficient atm
i`d love to play with other peoples on random games, just like i did in D2

ofc, you can make your own premade group and be efficient,
but i dont care about farming like a bot

i care about go into the PoE world, meet and play with other random ppls, do
something that we feel its rewarding

another aspect, there is nothing cool to do after you get your gosu Headhunter
or whatever ellse endgame item.

ive had this in mind in Diablo 2, that when i GET endgame gear
i can go PvP (wich outside of pathetic arena is nonexistent in PoE) and have great fun.

so yeah, i dont wonder why people burn out after 1 week and claim the league is dead cause what ellse to do in this symulator of grinding for nothing.

leveling and gearing process is freaking epic in PoE,
but what then ? i recently seen Lost Ark online stream, this is the game that feels like and open world hack and slash game with alot stuff to do.

hopefully GGG, you still stay strong and keep improving <3

You must not have played that much d2.

I mean d2 and poe are not really to be compared... how old is d2 lol

What I remember the most is....

1. Rushes and G rushes. Literally just afk in town while someone completes the game for you.

2. Doing cows to level and afk at portal

3. Doing cows to level but they made it so you can;t just stand at portal to get XP so you just followed the player that killed stuff from behind.

4. Baal runs, just afk by the portal in a safe spot.

5.Guber just afk in safe spot while hdins kill infinite skellies.

6. Real PvP (fpk) had lots of rules and so did all the 1v1 single class ladder ranks.

7. Game was always flooded with bugged items, dupes and imports if you know where to look.

Open pvp games were always trash and easy mode. Peoeple would do fun but stupid shit like Glitched Auradins, Auto Aim, FC zons, full absorb hummerdins that made any elemental build obsolete and the list goes on.

To me it sounds like you haven't really played poe, or maybe you haven't played d2?
Getting a headhunter (your example) alone is like finding a zod rune in d2 as a drop. It's also equally necessary for anything.

There are so many maps, currently 159 iirc, which you can modify with items. There is labyrinth, many uber bosses. Also the new league mechanics will change the gameplay experience a lot, not to mention the nerfs and buffs they are introducing with new items/gems, and the master change... etc. It's overwhelming to say the least.

Diablo 2 is the same old; many bugs, bots, cheats, mods, duping. High runes are sold for real money the same day ladder resets. Nothing new is introduced in a new ladder. It's not even comparable with poe.

For the last point, that's true, but in exchange, you were able to run an offline client (which "allows" things like mods and private servers). IMO, that was worth the tradeoff.

Personally, I think Path of Exile is still trying to figure out what its endgame content is. Yeah, you're running different maps, but it's essentially the same gameplay across each. The gameplay's not really different than just running D2's cow level over and over.

The only bosses that are routinely run are Izaro and Elder/Shaper and Atziri. And even then, only by a minority of people actually do them. The vast majority of bosses encountered are just skipped because their drop tables are not worth the effort to kill them other than once for Atlas completion (looking at you Scorpion).

For whatever reason I am much more prone to party in d2. I wonder if this is just because it is more efficient or force of habit from when I used to play? Exp bonus aside you can get carried, enchanted, and waypoints to short circuit. In PoE I don't think I leveled in a rando party since rampage.

Apart from that I disagree with d2 being more fun than poe entirely.
