[Vote] POE vs Lost Ark

imagine playing a game where the developers actively seeks to destroy anything that resembles fun and creativity for some nebulous """VISION""" from its creator; especially when that """VISION""" runs contra lateral to everything they've done so far that actually led the game to its success.

It took expedition league's massive player flop for them to cave and add in QOL updates everyone's been begging for since forever.

I'm genuinely tired of GGG's philosophy to drip feed and antagonize the fanbase. Hopefully Lost Ark is good and will bring some competition and force GGG to stop being so obstinate and blindly devoted to their worthless vision.

Feature me those cooldowns. Oh boi, using one leap slam every 10 second must feel so good.

Hmm, a game that looks like a generic grindy Korean cashgrab? Not saying that I won't try it, but currently I'm not interested even one bit.

That leap slam looks disgustingly slow and must be a pain in the ass the play with. The whole game looks so slow.

If I want Action, POE all the way.

If I want MMO, it must be 3D , not a 2D clicker. And definitely not a cheap QTE simulator and shallow, linear quest design.

I love the lost ark play feel (like ziz said). Animations, feeling, gameplay is 10/10. Problem is progression or lack of it and being focused on questing for leveling and dailies/weeklies for endgame...

Equalized pvp is the worst for me too. The point of a mmorpg for ME is progression so having no progression on pvp and/or any form of p2w is a no no.

Old lineage 2 was the only mmorpg I rly enjoyed. Back where it was 15$ per month for everyone not the p2w mess that it became later.


mmorpgs are dead for me. Maybe ashes of creation but I don't have any hope or hype. Modern gaming trending is the complete oposite of what I like sadly.

i dont think ive ever seen a game succeed with progression based pvp. even mmos like wow in their absolute highest peaks couldnt make their pvp anything more than a sideshow

Old l2 worked. Well at least for me and I know a lot of people from the old times LOL. U will be stronger the more u invest INGAME with hours, grind, etc not rl money bs we have nowdays that catch up.

Equalized is fair though, just not my thing for mmorpgs. For shooters, mobas sure.

I have played Lost Ark on Russian servers when it was released. It quickly became nothing but a wallet vacuum cleaner.

Maybe just maybe the local distributor is at fault cos mail.ru is known for milking the money out of compulsive spenders.

Really hope that EUW and US release will have different monetization.

And even then i personally would not go past the plot. But maybe its just me being spoiled by Guild Wars 2

The only real competitor for PoE is Grim Dawn its the only game with devs that actually know how to make a ARPG. Say what you want about the current direction but beside GM all other competitors lack something that make me want to play their game.
