AC2 or Path of Exile

I paid 10bucks recently for the closed beta key and it was well worth it -- it's more D3 than D3, plus I like their passive skill tree.

(I bought rift for the versality of soul tree options too.....but i only subscribed for like 6 months)

 

And I just found AC2 is back (thanks to a thread somewhere here).... I can subscribe to AC1 to play AC2.....

 

 

I have had multiple subscriptions to games, but I can only focus on playing ONE game for a long while at a time.

Which one should I play? A new one that I have just tried and love, or one that I loved and miss?

 

Edit : my biggest concern is that AC2 may be a ghost town because it is such an old game and it's brought back after it has been terminated for like....what.....10years? I dun like to solo a lot (I do like to solo once a while but I enjoy group play. Grouping in PoE is easy. I love AC2's crafting and guild system)

    Play Path of Exile once it is fully released and there are no more wipes.

    Of course you can try it out but only to get an idea of what you want to play on release.

    It is not really worth it to play up to a high level right now. It tends to get very grindy at the end and you might get burned out before release.

    EHHH, i like path of exile and all, Its a better game than D3. However i felt it couldnt hold my attention for more than a week or 2. I say bounce between them when you get bored.

    Because i can.

    POE is awesome and of course its free to play right? or buy to play whatever.. So jsut play it now and then and play AC2 or whatever as well..

    PoE is excellent... I find it actually delivers that "grungy & hellish" theme that D1 provided. Although there will be a complete character wipe on launch -- you will still have a ton of fun! I definitely +1 PoE.

    The lag issue was fixed yesterday in AC2. They made some configuration changes. I played it all last night with zero lag in both dungeons and open world.

    Indeed.

    I am glad that I sticked with PoE seeing all the AC2 server crashes and item loss (and lag issues despite it's claimed fixed. I still see people complain about it)

    one is an MMO, one is a solo game/D3, its really hard to compare them

    there are tons of people in AC2, I have found a group in 5 mins every night

    Dun get me wrong. I LOVE AC2. Whether I play it or PoE, it's one of my all time favourite.

    I just don't want to be frustrated by server crashes. I just saw more reports of server crashes again. Until it's stablized, I would't touch it.
