Love this game. After playing D3 for several years, I played PoE. It was a difficult start. Found the game too hard (used a Ranger), then learned how to survive. Finished the story several times across different leagues. I don't farm maps though. I just like starting new characters and playing the story again.

Then, I played D3 again (PS4, PC, and Switch). Played Dark Siders Genesis, now trying out Wolcen. But, I keep coming back to PoE. Now playing through the MetaMorph league, which I'm loving.

I'm a PoE supporter too. Bought a supporter pack and several cosmetic enhancements.

Favorite classes: Witch (Necromancer), Scion (strength focused), Marauder, and Templar.

Can't wait for PoE 2 to come out!!!

The pressure! I haven't finished MetaMorph yet! Haha! But they do keep the new features in the leagues with succeeding releases, right? I love the MetaMorph concept of being able to summon a monster to fight to get good loot!

Path of Exile is a truly great game. ARPGs might not be your thing, but when you look at Path of Exile as a video game, you see quality bro.

In poe, every character is capable of equipping any items. Witch can wield swords and barbarian wield wands. Same goes for skills, witch can do melee cyclone, barbarian can spellcasting righteous fire and so on. Sometimes there are creative builds you might not have thought before.

D3 is rigid with its class and skills specialization. Last time I played, item sets were the meta builds. In poe, rare items can overwhelm unique ones.

Urgh, the upcoming delirium league looks good since it changes the skill tree, and atlas maps. Bosses behavior also changes.... They refined the atlas awakening progression with UI changes as well.

Must resist.

framerates improved significantly.


only took them 7 years hahahaha

7 years ago , there's no vulkan. Vulkan(Prior, it's known as mantle..) or DX12 only started at around 2016. Only by 2019~2020, it's widely received.

they could have went OpenGL but went with DirectX.

DirectX must be quite problematic for them to optimize that they have to uproot and move to Vulkan~

so the myth that playing without sounds yields better performance was true after all~ :s13:
