My biggest complaint with PoE is that it has an advancement system with almost infinite possibilities as you can wield any weapons, use any skills, and take any passives... but the list of builds that are actually viable for all this end-game content is extremely short. You can make it up as you go and be completely useless at higher levels, with very limited respec options, or you can follow someone else's build guide, which takes a lot of the fun out of the game.

This is why I get a chuckle out of people saying it's soooo much better than Diablo 3 defining end-game builds with armor sets.

QFT.

Every 5 minutes im getting dq’d or game struggles to load textures and quits to desktop. With an expansion this large though i guess one could assume some degree of bugs...

Yep, mostly agree with everything you said G.oZ. I'll probably wait for PoE2, but I might dip my toe in since I am kind of between games right now....

*yawn* new end-game content. I've had characters all the way up to level 91 and never been close to the end game content they are talking about.

I'm kinda the same - played multiple expansions, think max level I got was around 97. Of the core/base game atlas boss: I've only managed a T14 or so elder, not the T16 uber elder. Way too much effort involved.

It has a fantastic core gameplay loop, but like any game it can get tiring - 10 chapters repeatedly, then running through maps over and over again to experience the new content, and then trying to gear up. There is only so much they can really do.

Now really waiting for PoE2 I think.

Hell I've never gotten a character past level 60 or so I don't think. Every new expansion or major league update thingy they do I usually make a new character (had to actually delete one when the last league launched) but I can never push past 60 give or take a few levels. I love the game but it's just a slog and if you haven't played in eons, good luck trying to figure anything out that's new (though they have added in that in-game journal that kinda explains stuff).

Still sane exile?
