stop acting like a fucking idiot.

Whole economy and crafting system is designed with autists and whales in mind. Fuck off.
For years instead of new locations, enemies, even fucking better lookingm inimap they were focusing on creating more shitty cosmetics and items to grind and pay for.

Amount of shit you have to do to wrap your mind around current state and value of currencies alone is fucking sad.

Grim dawn is nice and comfy game, with some unique (not that unique actually, most of stuff straight from tq) mechanics that no other game has to offer,

but you cant fucking say with serious face that its better then poe, your game is either an auto attack>trigger explosions clownfiesta or exactly same but with minions. Thats fucking it even expansion wont change and you know it.

That doesnt mean grim dawn is bad, its just different gameplay with different feel going for it. But should stop acting like you know shit about poe

Not yet but there will be with the upcoming Inquisitor class in the expansion. Until then, there are items you can craft/find that allow you to dual-wield ranged weapons.

I would recommend checking out the Build Compendium on the GD forums to find some builds you think are interesting.

you do realize there are times where you just want to kinda releaxe and not worry about thinking everything through and making always the right split second decisions?

Yes. Hopefully they bring the 3 scrapped minor gods to the Pantheon system soon. Most obviously Shakari who was supposed to be in Oasis, which is now a completely optional area.

If you have a shit connection or can't otherwise play online all the time, pick Grim Dawn instead. Its an improved Titan Quest, although still has some of the problems of TQ's gameplay.

Maybe now.
Pre-patch vanilla D3 when the game was impossible and nobody knew any builds was the best in my opinion because the gameplay was actually engaging, instead of D2X, PoE, D3 post-patch and practically every other game in the D2-clone genre which was all the same shit:
>Spam one offensive skill endlessly, every situation is approached the same.
>Enemies and bosses are either helpless weaklings or one-shot you with any skill or even basic melee, meaning endgame combat always breaks down and devolves to maintaining leech equilibrium to survive harder content.
>Just run into packs and smash attack, literally.

Pre-patch D3 felt like a different game in those first few precious weeks:
>Elite packs will fuck you completely in seconds, however not so fast you can't escape death, and their regular melee abilities are weak -- special skills and modifiers are the real danger.
>Modifiers MUST be taken into account and avoided at all costs, leading to a constant engaging safety dance of trying avoid various projectiles and ground effects, while trying to deal damage.
>Take too long and they enrage and one-shot you, you must try to apply DPS constantly while minimizing damage.
>Some modifier combinations were such bullshit, they could really change your approach.
>No bullshit constant life-leech builds yet.
>Must employ every skill and trick in your wheelhouse and potentially re-think your strategies and build once you get your asshole pushed-in repeatedly by a fucking basic bumblebee in Act 2 Inferno.
>>
>>389552435
to be honest, these are the inherent flaws of the game.
you either play the trading game or you play the luck/time game. they need some incentives for ssf like lowering the npc currency prices but making it that you can't switch away from ssf or something.

Problem gets mitigated when SSF league characters share the same stash. Meaning your first character farms and finds whatever uniques, you get one good unique that doesn't fit your current character so you start thinking of creating a SSF character using that particular unique.

By far... if you like grinding and are willing to invest couple of hundred hours, it will keep you entertained for several thousands of hours. Or atleast it used to for me.

Thats a thing in the entire genre, D2 also provokes these periods of serious addiction, then you get like a half a year or a year of being burned out of the game. But the addiction eventually comes back, playing this genre tends to come in waves.

Because if the stats on your gear determine the performance of your character, gunfighting feels like you're shooting peashooters. And if the gunfighting determines the performance of your character, then the rpg loot elements have to be very light as to not veer the gameplay too far away from being fun.

>>389554229

Its a decent Arpg with a bit slower combat, less interesting loot and less monster variety. Plus sides is you can play it offline, you can pick two classes like in Titan Quest and as an extra you have a star map which acts like an extra bonus passive tree on top of your passives. Its a game worth playing through at least once if you're fan of the genre.

Audiovisually its also not as good but to be fair they had much smaller budget and a team. It has couple of good songs:

It's pretty good. But the end-tier gameplay is very twitchy and like a bullet hell.

Majority of end-game builds at this point rely upon doing damage faster than you can take it, so, there's actually not all that much variation.

I kinda wish they'd slow the game down in favour of making it more fun and interesting, but, I guess people just wanna go fast.

poe is probably the most enjoyable if you're looking to play it single player, as it's mechanics are fluid and it's very versatile in terms of builds. while not being a pay to win game (outside of a premium stash tab) you are able to access all of the content in the game for free. trading with other players is a very nice/well appreciated mechanic in a game about finding random loot. the servers are usually fairly stable. it can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be, depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go.

diablo 3 would be next up if you are looking for something to play with other people, as it's a very watered down game in terms of mechanics, but the overall game is better suited for party play. it isn't overly complicated and there isn't very much room for build diversity but it's fun if you're just looking to grind with friends.

grim dawn has a lot going for it, but it falls very hard because of the core mechanics that were carried over from titan quest. it's got a pretty decent atmosphere and the concept of class mixing, if you choose, is interesting but it's biggest downfall is how slow and clunky the game feels. when it comes to attacking or picking up items, it just feels like there is way too much delay/animation time in your actions and it just isn't acceptable when compared to other games of the genre.

diablo 2 is in a league of it's own. there's not much that needs to be said here, if you've played it you know why.

Why the fuck can't Runic Games, the people who are responsible for Torch Light and whose staff comprises of mainly people from Blizzard North, the devs behind Diablo and Diablo II, make a spiritual successor to Diablo II? And I don't mean more of this cartoony bullshit, either. I'm talking about a game with a serious, dark, gothic, hell-on-earth atmosphere like the first two games paired with Matt Uelman's dark atmospheric sound track.

I want a true Diablo II successor. I tried Path of Exile and couldn't for the life of me get into it. It's no where near as polished, the music is boring and generic (even playing D2 music in the background doesn't help), I don't like the super in-depth skill tree, fucking everything is socketed and it doesn't hold my attention for long.

The game offers more builds than you can count, also MODS, FUCKING MODS. It's easier to mod this game than Torchlight 2 for fuck's sake.

>>
>>389545879

No.

You just make one crazy spell than spam it all day while walking through pointless randomly generated mazes for a tiny chance at loot. Well, that and trade chat.

The spells you can make are really neat, but you still just spam it thoughtlessly no matter what it is you eventually make, and you invest so much into one spell that the others are hardly worth using, if at all.
>>
>>389552435
But he's right, poe is designed around trading, so much that their whole cash shop sales is driven by the premium stash which is the one thing that makes trading bearable.

Builds themselves revolve around items rather than your skill tree alone, you need the right unique with the right stats with the right sockets with the right links, you can't get that on SSF without severe autism.

Compare with GD where all you need is a proper star map path, proper stat placement and skills to make your build work.
>>
>>389549831
>>389550239
Even the worse game in the genre contradicts your statement. On D3 potions have a cooldown, on poe health flasks are useless after a certain level, so much it as become a design flaw on how you NEED lifesteal, GD has cd on potions AND you may end up running out of potions.
>>
>>389551325
I think there's a mod to be able to enable the gunslinger passive all the time, otherwise you will need to rely on items and artifacts that give this to you.

>>
>>389562065

>But he's right, poe is designed around trading,

The balance is more designed around co-op play than trading. And if you don't like either of them, SSF is a separate game mode that is always available. First people bitch that the game is too easy if you just look up a top-tier build and trade items for it, then say the game is too hard if you play a mode where you can't do that. What the fuck do they want from a game at that point?

Absolutely fucking not, I'll repeat you don't EVER find the proper unique with the proper stats and proper linked sockets, you farm the currency and trade them for it.

It's not even a fucking discussion, items on this genre are pretty important but because on poe your skills also rely on the items you are using thanks to the socket system you're outright forced to trade.

The whole point of SSF challenge is that you have to make it do with what you find.

>SSF is a separate game mode
No, it isn't, because you can simply opt-out. A separate game mode would have rebalanced drop rates and mob power so as to fit a single-player experience. As is, drop rates are so pitifully bad that without trading, you'd need to farm divination cards for some shit you want/need for a build and those have such awful drop rates, it's better to just general clear maps. And at that point, it's better to make one of the like 3 builds that are really good at map clear and cost next to nothing to set up and wait for the cards you want from Diviner's Boxes.

You're right. They're worse

>The whole point of SSF challenge is that you have to make it do with what you find.

Yeah. And you can play that if you don't like trading, so what is the fucking issue here?
>>
>>389563884
The fucking issue is that the game is not balanced around it, the fucking developers admit this.
>>
>>389564731
What's wrong with balancing around trading?

If SFF was just made half as difficult to compensate for the lack of gear it wouldn't mean anything.
>>
>>389562512
Yeah, it was fucked up, I don't disagree.
Gameplay was the best it ever was.
>>
>>389564731

Do you cry that your death is permanent in Hardcore too? The game isn't balanced around Hardcore either, but getting through it regardless is the whole point of playing Hardcore. If you want an easy experience you trade for those items and play with your friends. If you want a proper challenge you play HC and you play SSF.
>>
>>389564871
I wasn't the one complaining about the game being balanced around trading, I was just arguing that indeed the game is balanced around trading.

The fact that you NEED specific items to finish a build, exactly like on Diablo 3 is neither here nor there, it's a matter of taste, most other games in the genre such as torchlight, grim dawn, van helsing and so on are simply not like that however, they rely more on you knowing where to put your points to make a good build rather than needing a specific unique.

>cry
Are you joking? I play on SSF myself even though I have the option to not to, I never said it bothers me I said what the developers themselves stated before.

And you're kidding yourself if you don't think that there's several players that think the game is balanced around HC.
>>
>>389562747
It is a badge of honor that you achieved your gear/status by yourself rather than through the easy way out by trading. People like you have no soul, you probably follow the most meta build too instead of trying out to be the best you can by theorycrafting.
>>
my only complaint so far (around lv25) is that you cant move until the animation is finished so kiting or diving in and out/teleporting around is really clunky
not that it matters since all i do is run forward and spam split arrow and kill everything on the screen in one hit but still (can't imagine how bad pvp must be)

Oh I'm sure plenty of people who don't play HC think that. Reality is HC players overlevel and grind safe areas precisely because the game is not balanced with HC in mind. If it would be, you would afford to take more risks.

You go debate that with them, let's see how many "shotcrow" insults you get. That's not even what I think about the game anyway.

There are viable builds that dont need uniques to function at all. Righteous Fire for example can take you far in PoE without needing a unique to function
>>
The only problem is that to get to bleeding end game most builds need either a fuckton of time/minmaxing or extremely expensive uniques.

I also wish they would stop actively trying to make the game less fun by doing shit like making bosses harder and reducing pack density.
>>
>>389566153

Theres nothing to debate, they're retarded, case closed.

>>389565672
I theorycrafted my own Dark Pact Berserker before realizing it was a meta choice.
And cool, you proved you are better* than someone else at a video game. You could do that before they added the SSF option. Now, you can prove it. Congrats. I'm sure it will serve you well in life. I will personally never play SSF because of Masters. Getting those cuckolds to decent levels is just too painful solo.

if d2 had looked like torchlight it would have been forgotten ages ago

>There are viable builds that dont need uniques
These are VERY few, and literally what one would call cookie cutter builds. Nice try but again, nope.

ssf players are garbage. see, they want you to know they play ssf because they are terrible at the game and need an excuse for why they can't progress content. see, the ssf player can't efficiently make currency and this upsets him. he plays ssf because he is bad at the game
>>
>>389568172
hold on let me start up dark souls 3
>>
>>389568460
I disagree. A decent number of people play Solo Self-found for various reasons. That said, the ones who play with SSF enabled are entirely in it to show off above all else. Even GGG uses it to make them look like they play their own game.
>For about a full day after Harbinger started, the #1 on the HC SSF ladder was a GGG employee playing a Blight build
>He also magically found an extra copy of the Spreading Rot Jewel (he got one from the Quest chick who gives you one) AND a pair of Alleleopathy (The Blight glove thing) on this character before hitting maps
The odds of him actually finding that shit on his first character of the League are so comically low that it's generally accepted that they were spawned in.
>>
Diablo II + LoD
Titan Quest + IT
PoE with all the patches
This is the holy trinity of the genre imo.
>>
You know that prophecy that allows you to vendor 5 uniques for another random one? I think that should be a recipe all the time due to the fact that a majority of the unique drops in this game are pretty much an Alchemy orb at best.

I've gotten multiple SSF characters to shaper just this league, anon.
>>
>>389569335
I have 14 spreading rots in my SSF unique collection tab, and allelopathy are a very high drop chance unique on the level of shit like redbeak and bones of ullr.

I'd swap Diablo 2 and 3 but that's because I'm a nostalgia fag

>>389568172
Wait is this grim dawn? I genuinely thought it was some obscure early 2000's diablo clone
>>
>>389570310
the development took so long it might aswell be one
>>
>>389570310
Yes, that's Grim Dawn. It's literally Titan Quest, but better.
