As long clowns pay with this shit, the merchant will sell.

Best to vote with your money if you disapprove.

Give Grim Dawn or Chronicon a try, they are awesome and scratch that ARPG itch good. Grim Dawn is actually getting a new patch, that game was released in 2016… and a few of its mods are top tier quality. goddamn it, i already have 2k hours in GD and i will fire it up again when the patch comes, i know it

Have a look at last epoch, good game and interesting itemization.

I just checked, it’s still in Early Access. How much content does it have. I think there is no Campaign, right?

There is a campaign. Probably a bit shorter than poe. And with a mostly fleshed out endgame similar to poe. It’s definitely a more complete game than d4 right now. And with more build options that are really fun and interesting.

Yeah, I couldn’t give a toss about Diablo with what they pulled with Immortal. But I’ve been waiting for PoE2’s release for a little while now, think it’ll be my jumping on point for the game.

Hah, “free”. I have spent too much on PoE.

True, true, but most of that for me was because they make a product I want to support. Really $30 worth of stash tabs makes the game very playable, and is pretty much all you need.

I’m looking forward to PoE 2. I used to love Path of Exile and played it a lot in the immediate years after it came out, but I feel like it’s been suffering from featurecreep and has become overly complex.

GGG have good ideas though, so I’m hoping a hard reset for the sequel will provide the perfect blank slate.

Last Epoch is loved by many and definitely worth looking into.

What’s locked behind Platinum? I thought it was just cosmetics. Is there any actually gameplay/QOL stuff that it gets you?

You’re right it’s just cosmetic stuff. However the battle pass itself costs money. So the idea that paying money for the battle pass doesn’t earn you enough to buy ANYTHING is kind of ridiculous. I know you unlock other things in the battle pass itself but still.

I only have this seasons battle pass because it came with the digital deluxe edition. I can’t see myself ever buying it.

If this is the case, they might as well not included. But it gives incentive to buy more platinum to actually buy something.

Yeah, that is exactly it. It’s a psychological trick to scam a few dollars out of people. Mobile games have been doing this exact shit for years, because it works. It’s the type of manipulative bullshit you’d expect from a “F2P” gacha mobile game, not a full price AAA title.

Not that I disagree with you, because it is absurd, but I’ve been writing off the cost of the battle pass as just a way to get “discount” cosmetics. The overall cost of the cold iron set is cheaper than a standard store set at the cost of needing to grind to get it.
