Something like D3

Hi folks,

I hope you can help me. At th emoment I am playing warlords of draenor with a friend and I am having a blst. 

I totally love the concept of farming gear for my character, my problem is I am a dedicated damage dealer and when I am not playing with my friend I tend to have waiting times around 30 minutes. Because of this I decidet to waste some time on an action hack and slay game like diablo 3. 

I was hoping you guys could recommend me something similar to d3 because I want to play something with a different setting, etc.

 

Any ideas? Read about path of exile but was not sure if it is quite as good as d3.

Hope you can help me :-)

    I was really into path of exile there for a little bit. I go back every now and then when I have some free time. I'd say, give it a look. 

    It's free. The only micro-transaction that is remotely beneficial (last I saw) is the purchase of extra bank tabs. The game has a pretty steep learning curve as far as gear, builds, and currency are concerned. It just takes time to learn what works and what doesn't. What's valuable and what isn't. 

    Luckily, there is a rather active community on reddit, and some really helpful video guides. 

    If you check it out, I highly recommend browsing builds on the forums, and and simply following a skill guide for your first character. After you get the hang of it, you can theory craft and build your own death machines. :D 

    I'll provide some links!

    Not a fan of path of exile, Ive tried it. I like what they tried to do but I think they did it badly.

     

    Try shadows heretic kingdoms, torchlight 2 or van hellsing 2 if you want a hack and slash rpg like d3.

     

    Shadows heretic kingdoms looks excellent btw.

    Path of exile is a very hard game to get into. Your first few characters are almost guaranteed failures. It will take you about a league really know what you are doing. Also many people when they first start create on the standard bench which only a small percentage of people play. Majority of the population plays on the temporary 3 month leagues.  Also when the leagues are in between sessions, such as now, the game population can be a bit low. 

     

    Overall though once you learn how to play PoE, such as building characters, making currency, and how to utilize poe.trade the game is a great addiction and far better then D3. Just gatta push through the noobie barrier. Recently there as been an influx of D3 streamers moving to PoE as well.

    I am into adult games and complex games. My problem wasn't the level of complexity.

     

    It was the gameplay mchanics themselves. I thought the skill trees were terrible and each level gave you such a small improvement from the skill tree that it would take 10 levels for any difference to feel noticeable. To me it felt like they didn't actually make big skill trees, what they did was essentially split 1 skill into 10 or so marginal points to give the illusion that every time you level you are improving.

     

    I just felt it was done very badly and I was looking for a complex game where you can make mistakes which is what drew me to it in the 1st place but I felt it was done badly.

    There is Grim Dawn coming up from the makers of  titan quest. There is Van Helsing 1 & 2 to play. And there is Torchlight 2. Of all these It's hard to choose from. So hard to choose from that you might end up playing Dungeons and Dragons daggerdale. The after playing daggerdale for an hour you quickly purchase Torchlight 2.

    I agree with that, but between this 10 points they put cross roads and you are able to turn and change the build, more or less.
