i like the loot sistem, its where it shoud be... drops feel like diablo 2 classic , and i love that. It forces u to go trade and it dosnt give u all of the nonesense shit, it makes u play the game.
But diablo 2 classic had perfect pvp balance so no loot and pure pvp makes sense, u were grinding whole ladder for that 1 good character whic will now shine in pvp... ( d2 classic not lod !!! ) lod had terrible pvp balance...
poe 2 have no pvp ...

grafics in poe2 i love it, not much to say here

game play ... its just not poe 1 ... its more like a pvp gameplay

endgame i kinda like it but theres no point, to what end will u grind for ?? just to have OP gear and kill bosses ?? feels very blank

characters i hate them, they are all ugly!!! where is my sexy deadeye and the boobs !!!

i hated campain in poe 1 and there is just pain in poe 2 ... what about making the totorial short?? i do understand that new people needs to learn somewhere...
so make 2 totorials... problem solved...

the 1 teleport most of the times i love it.... sometimes i hate it... its perfect


all that said , its a good game to go play once ... will i replay it ?? heck no ... to go grind for gear to fight boses just dosnt feel like it... it has to have more to it... a full reason to grind for ... in my opinion u need balance and pvp and u have the best game of them all ... the pvp will give us the reason to grind... and poor drops will make it perfect. also the pvm carebears can just play game and kill boses, to grind for gear so u get a double win win situation, and put in more waste factors whic will destroy more curency... so game dosnt get overfloaded to fast ... mybe check out eve online pvp lose factor sistem and combain it with runescape osrs lose factor... so items woud be destroyed and some droped , and there will be demand for new ones all the time... this woud solve many problems...

You have OVER 11.4 years of PLAY TIME, you sure about that? I've sunk well over 15k hours in D2, because of dueling and friends... but I tend to agree about the loot drop similarity, at least in the early stages of each game.

Not even MrLlamaSC has 100k hours and nobody has played the game more than him. NOBODY.

That bs aside, I've played Diablo for over 2 decades, including one 18 month, daily 12-24 hour continuous grind, then the occasional month here and there since every year. The loot has similarities with Diablo 2 in certain respects because POE was a spiritual successor to D2.
That's where it ends.
The current loot is a bare-bones, stripped down, reductive version of POE1 itemisation. It's not in a good spot by any means because of the lack of variation we used to have. They did this to simplify the rolls, so it's more like Diablo 4 loot than Diablo 2. However that loot sucked. It was so bad I had to stop playing the game because I knew what rolls I was getting before I dropped it. It was vacuous and empty at best.

Where POE1 loot rolls shine is the variation. Instead of POE2, where you know you will get 2 or 3 rolls which are useful and the rest are hot garbage or conflicting useless stats, POE1 loot could fill in those 2 or 3 spare stats with something good from time to time. POE2 loot cannot in it's current form.

They literally stated you won't be getting items with all top tier stats on them. Ask yourself why this is. The only answer is artificial difficulty and build item normalisation (which makes uniques often way better than a well rolled rare even with their downsides).

In Diablo 2 you could get an item with all useful rolls. So no, this is not like Diablo 2 loot except that it shares the same roots in prefix/affix/suffix/range.
But so do almost all ARPGs. It doesn't make it good.
