Path of Exile is not a replacement for Diablo. It's not even a very good ARPG.
Diablo 3 and 4 aren't replacements for Diablo either.
D2R is peak Diablo but there are lots of alternative ARPGs that are far better than the Chinese gutter oil that is Path of Exile.
~~You can't play mods on D2R~~ which to me makes it worse than the original D2. I've enjoyed and played Diablo 2 for 20 years now. A big part of why is due to mods like Median XL (and the fact that it's the best game ever made).
As for PoE, I strongly disagree. If you're only looking at ARPGs that follow the seasonal style and constantly add new content. There aren't many better than PoE.
Uhhh, yes you can, here's one of my faves; reminds me of Median XL
I did not know that, thank you. I might look a bit more into D2R in that case but it's hard to justify giving money to Blizzard.
If it makes you feel any better, you'd be giving money to Microsoft now, baby! lol
Better than giving money and data to China.
Yeah, I played a ton of Diablo 2 and 3 and I do not like PoE very much at all
The only game that came close to the Diablo series in terms of feel was Torchlight 2, thanks in part to two Diablo leads and the Diablo composer.
The respec system is fine. You get some respec points just from playing the story. You can get more by farming the orbs that refund one point per use. I've fully refunded my whole passive tree on a level 85+ character multiple times.
It's not Diablo 3 level respec where your decisions don't matter and you can just change anything you want any time. Which is a good thing.
