You're making an ARPG in 2025, but you're stuck in 1999

It's a bit disingenuous to act like changing the game such that max resist isn't a mandatory target would somehow eliminate the need to target elemental resistance at all.
Diablo 2 isn't the only RPG in the world. Lots of games have multiple damage types and manage to make choosing which to be strongest against an interesting choice. Hell, we could have done that using the charms system. Resist charms already exist, it wouldn't take a major tweak to make those act as your primary elemental defense. |

diablo 2 is a dogshit game with bunch of outdated ideas and systems, and no dev should try to copy anything from it in the current year
if ggg tried to steal from grim dawn instead of diablo 2, this game would be much more successful "buff grenades" - Buff Grenades (Buff-Grenades) Last edited by auspexa#1404 on Jan 14, 2025, 3:23:57 PM

" And it's still one of the best ARPG ever made. I don't care what do you think but i love the insane amout of nostalgy breathing from PoE 2. All I ever wanted was Diablo 2 with PoE mechanics and that's all what I got. |
|
" It's actually worse.. They based this game on ruthless, as an improved take on POE 1 (that NOBODY but GGG, and about 100 players worldwide cared about) That base that nobody cares about at all, is what POE 2 is modeled after. That's right, of the two options, they picked the worse one as the base. I don't care if GGG thinks we should spam mana flasks, I think the 200+ int requirement means I should be able to replace my mana flask with something else, and my mana regen is through the roof with 200 int. |
|
" POE 1 and 2 have literally zero challenge. They just believe tedious = challenging. It doesn't. POE 2 is (for me) even easier than POE 1, and in POE 1 I can still make immortal builds. Same with POE 2. GGG doesn't know how to make anything challenging, they simply can't do it -- they only know how to make stuff obnoxious. One day we will have to tap Q and E to swing our legs. To them, that increases difficulty, but that's their wildly hot take. |
|
" It will always tickle my nuts that people think stat stacking and res capping the way the devs want you to is somehow something to brag about. |
|
" you can increase your maximum resistance to specific elements, take one type of damage as another type of damage, use armour, use reduced damage taken of a specific damage type. theres many ways to specialise into taking less damage of a specific type. " do you think it could be as successful as grim dawn? I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

grim dawn isn't very successful, at least numbers-wise, because it's meant to cater to a niche audience
"buff grenades"
- Buff Grenades (Buff-Grenades) |
|
" and you think copying this would make poe more successful?  theres a reason why my poe1 play time is about 20x that. i cant really think of a single thing this game does that is better than poe. its a cool little game but it gets a lot of things fundamentally wrong. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

you could say the same about diablo 2
yet the devs are insistent on copying it "buff grenades"
- Buff Grenades (Buff-Grenades) |
