You claimed that rares are better than legendaries and nothing I see shows that.
Ancestral rares are 4 affixes, same as legendaries. Legendaries get more upgrades than rares. I am not positive if a rare that’s been converted to legendary with aspect then gets the same upgrade numbers as legendaries.
There is nothing that I’ve seen that shows rares can get 5 affixes.
What is the point of farming and trading/selling gear on D2 if not to get gear to min/max 1% power on your char but for no purpose since you already speedrun all content?
I think you are vastly overestimating the average player, because the average player will most likely not even reach lvl 100. The average player doesnt theorycraft, the average player doesnt look up builds for efficiency, the average player doesnt even unlock most of the stuff the game has to offer and the average player will not see much of the endgame.
If you’re ready to pack up and leave when you’re bored why are you here posting opinions to people who care about the game and are promoting ideas that could make the game last?
That’s correct, you aren’t informed and don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s like talking to a sailor who’s went on vacation to the inland and started talking to people who had never seen the ocean before, demanding that he gives them proof. They would just laugh. Just like I’m laughing right now.
I’m not here to convince you. This isn’t some formal debate where I’m required to give you a bibliography of citations. Closed beta videos are not allowed here. I’m not interested in you knowing this or not. I’m simply stating what I know. Your ignorance of it is irrelevant to me.
If you don’t like playing multiple builds and characters, this just isn’t the game for you. Plus, this game is shallow AF and has console-IQ level itemization. So yes, it’ll drop off fast.
There are barely any items in the game to build around.
Someone should make a an analysis based on average interest in D4 compared to D2 once we launch. We could scientifically see which games are better at keeping your attention/interest over time
With all due respect, PoE has been a cycle of Season Launch > play 100 hours > quit until next season for the past 10 years. There’s literally no point to the endgame in any ARPG really. You have fun as long as you can, and when it stops being fun you move onto something else for a while.
I don’t know why people are acting like they’re about to marry this game. You are not choosing a life partner here. You’re playing a video game.
Enjoy it. When you stop enjoying it, go enjoy something else for a while. Come back and enjoy D4 again sometime in the future. Rinse, repeat. Or don’t.
