if you can do this in PoE say for example, people REALLY lean towards +HP and resistances....PoE gets away with it.

why

Because items of that uniform nature are just a small part the equation in PoE

Oh ya? Can you tell me what else is part of the equation?

Uh...no. I can't actually, because...in PoE its far to expansive and I'm not even sure what parts I'm missing.

Well, I received a copy of RoS for my ps4 from a friend the other day. I hunkered down, ready to really sink my teeth into it and prepare the first draft for my own 'RoS vs Awakening' write-up, but something immediately struck me that put a serious halter on the momentum:

RoS starts exactly the same as D3 vanilla and feels no different for the first 10 or so levels.

Now, you might say that's well and good, RoS is about adding more at the top-end, but as someone trying to evaluate ultimately which expansion changed the core game more and for the better, I have to acknowledge that The Awakening was a bottom-up overhaul. It's impossible to get ten levels into PoE 2.0 and not see the differences from 1.3. RoS, on the other hand, really feels just the same as D3 vanilla.

This is interesting. Is RoS more of an 'expansion', whereas The Awakening was an overhaul that just happened to expand the game? I don't think it's hard to argue that PoE has a LOT more room for that sort of complete shift than D3 vanilla, given that D3V was already a pretty complete, fully functioning game while PoE 1.3 had a lot of...rough edges. As does 2.0, but that's not the point. Yet.

I don't even know if I need to continue playing RoS to make this in depth written comparison because if RoS is a top-end expansion and The Awakening more of an attempt at course correction, they're really performing two distinct functions...

Yeah but Temper, what's the point of a game that starts...after it starts? I mean, lets assume what it really means is 'the game only gets good after a while' but even that is inexcusable when you have the ability to go back and aggressively adjust from the ground up.

So it's not like a TV show or a book series where its somewhat okay that things take a while to get rolling. If your early game is considered pointless, then you as a developer should reflect on that. Or, as Blizzard did, accept it was all a bit mediocre and that no one cared so just go "adventure mode". But man, what an unworthy and ignoble end for such a rich narrative as introduced in d1 and expanded in d2.

At this point, given the graphic novel and more lore events such as Bravalo in the crossroads, we have to believe that GGG are not ready to throw in the towel yet. That if the gme starts at 70 for some, that's great but its not the default.

Because every game starts at 1, even if the origin doesn't call it that.

At any rate, I'd personally be gutted if I were a developer and it was widely held that the majority of my work wasn't even worthy of being included in 'the game'. Then I'd feel like a failure, because that what it is.
