I honestly do not understand the weaponized autism hardon you have for this game and the concept of anyone enjoying it.
I don’t think anyone parachutes into the PoE thread in the same way. At all. And it’s clearly with an agenda. Man, Chris, Mark, or that other fat fuck aren’t gonna let you suck them. I play games to have fun. D4 - now - is fun to me. That is my metric. That’s it. It’s not some deep, abstract reason of figuring out problems or whatever. I do that for a living.
Poe is easily a top 10 game for me, but it ceased to feel fun so I bounced. It has problems. The engine can sometimes have a ridiculous amount of jank compared to, yes even d4 which controls way smoother. Never seen a game send my pc into that level of gasping for air. Economy is not fun to me as a game. I’d rather spend more time on that in real life where it matters if that’s what the game is. And it mostly is. The bloat when I played was getting ridiculous. Maybe that got solved? I grew tired of their thinly veiled business model of nerfing/boosting skills around MTX that was in constant tension of having skills absolutely dumpstered to shake up the meta and effectively resulting in people pissing away money on MTX that won’t get used. They spent an inordinate amount of time sucking streamer cock which can be said of pretty much any multiplayer, mmo, or pseudo-mmo game today. Partly why I have gotten less interested in playing multiplayer games. I’ll give them this - they at least mostly shut the fuck up about politics which is something I wish Blizzaed would do
Anyway I do plan to play poe2 again once 1.0 drops. And I’ll get back to Grim Dawn sometime next year.
