Character says the word spirit and does elemental melee attacks. No animals in sight besides the giant chicken.
I feel like Diablo 4 and PoE constantly copies from each other to make sure either one canât say we have this type of thing and they donât.
Have you noticed the similarities between the Harbinger of Death fight and the Count Geonor Act 1 Boss fiight? Giant Demon Wolf dashing at you from different directions etc?
I could see PoE2 having a bunch of classes lined up, but the one most similar to the Spiritborn (Spear wielder) gets fast-tracked to the top of the release list.
And like the other guy said, PoE2 has very good graphics (character models and shop cosmetics not so much tho)⌠but there are a couple of map tile-sets that look horrible. Like the tomb tile-set; itâs so bad and over-lit like an apple store. I hope itâs just placeholder lol.
well the inspiration for that is certainly not spiritborn, but probably javazone.
And yes the concept of classes in poe is very far from d4, so now it is impossible to understand what this particular class will look like.
Btw spiritborn is nowhere near new class - itâs jsut a monk from d3.
Diablo 4 is getting crushed big time by POE. The amount of content that comes out in their updates is huge.

IMO, the D4 and P2 directions are not related and not copy each other.
But the D4 path that the Devs chose will be more difficult for themselves in terms of balance and lack of flexibility. The characters are too dependent on items, aspects and external add-ons powers without the inherent power of each class (skill tree and paragons). This easily leads to boredom in farming every season.
yes, 100% D4 stand no chance against PoE2.
The problem is no matter how many end game activities they will add to D4 it wonât matter cuz of weak core system taken from D3.
D4 = D3 resurrected, thatâs all.
all the main systems were either simply taken from d3, or slightly renamed, painted in a different color, etc. A good arpg cannot be built on these systems, which is why d4 will not be able to compete with poe. No matter how much endgame activities they will add.

Couldnât care less what Poe does to be honest or any other arpg for that matter.

The âlow-infoâ of this post + that dogged devotion to the brand, speaks for itself⌠idk that itâs not the bleakest metric Blizzard has (though they probably embrace it).
Thereâs an IGN video from summer 2023 showcasing a bunch of familiar Huntress features:

No you must mean⌠parry mechanics?
No wait⌠real melee combat?
No wait⌠100s of skill modifiers?
No wait⌠taming beasts?
Iâd try to go through a âfullâ list of all possible things you clearly didnât mean (bc a twirly motion with a stick = a class apparently) but I havenât even fully absorbed them yet.
The bit about creating distinct profiles for all possible tamed/Spectre mobs so they wouldnât behave weirdly in, for example, Hideouts⌠is a level of forethought it would probably take the D4 team 2 years to stumble onto after it was highlighted for them in multiple PTRs & live builds. And I bet these kiwis - what - probably thought it up as they were planning the implementation? Like a functional development process.
However: twirly sticks, nonlinear time.

while diablo 4âs druid still struggles with those couple of spirit wolves that end up neither playable here nor there for 2 years.
blizzard studio should consider changing its business direction to selling fridge magnets.

I never let myself âbelieveâ in those things, but still a bit sad if they turned out as sucky as it soundsâŚ
However, Blizzard did make a couple of âspirit wolvesâ that pretty much win at life. You just have to play enhancement shaman to enjoy them.

Imagine if D4 added 100+ uniques in an update. Instead what we get is 1 unique per class.
New class without having to pay an expansion price for it.
Numerous new bosses.
D4âs problem is that the seasons/updates just dont have enough stuff in them.

I donât think they can afford that again tho. D2 2nd exp was cancelled. D3 was cancelled and was remade from scratch, D3 2nd exp got cancelled, D4 first version got cancelled and remade from scratch.
Iâm pretty sure if they donât drop the donât fix it and make a new one mentality (such bs always comes from investor board meeting and not from devs), there wonât be D5 at all.
yeah i think blizzard should be embarrassed of themselves, that they cannot even deliver 25% of the content of a free patch from GGG in an expansion.
I just have no words.

See this is the power of playing both games. Itâs not an either or. Doesnât hurt. That being said Iâm playing Fatal Fury lmao!

Why should they be embarrassed?
They make their shareholders happy, people still play the most recognizable aRPG (used loosely), forums are going strong with both haters and fans.
They donât need to deliver the 25% of the content that GGG might put out for free, but recoup their costs on MTX. Yet next expansion or next version Diabloâs profits will be hugeâŚ. Yet again.
So while you complain about d4, youâre still here.
If it is so horrible compared to the latest d4 killerâŚ.why exactly are you investing time here? Doesnât poe2 capture you to the point you donât want to play any other gameâŚ. ? Never open the curtains and see sunlight? Only shower on WednesdaysâsâŚ? Never visit any other gaming forumâŚ?

kkkkk. I didnât play quilvoley. In season 6, anything you used would pit 130/150. Did you see how many bugs there were??? Solve it was 6 points. 6. With MW x 1.45 it was supposed to give 15 but it gave 21. The issue is that builds that pit 100 with it in season 7 are few.
