I remember people talking about this mod a while back. It's a nice idea if you are a hardcore d2 fan and want to try out something new, otherwise D2 is a bit too old for my taste. I played it a lot, but that was like 20 years ago, played it for about 5-6 years. D2 simply does not have the game engine for certain poe things to be properly imported,for certain game mechanics to function,plus there are layers upon layers of complexity that would require d2 to be completely remade from the ground up.
I'm glad that people wanted to combine poe and d2 and that d2 fans have something new to try out, but as far as I'm concerned, I'll stick with poe. If there would be, not a remaster because I don't want a wc3 reforged bs, but a proper remake like age2 definitive edition,then I would gladly come back. Otherwise Path Of Exile has been my hack&slash game for the last 6-7 years.
Yeah d3 looked like it was trying to be wow or something, which took away all it's originality and it didn't seem like diablo whatsoever
Also, besides that ps or xbox version, is there an offline version of poe? I don't like having to be online
D3 was......well, I bought it, played it for about a week or so and then sold it. I was disappointed in how the game turned out to be,and how different it was from D2. It's a different game,made for a different type of player.
As far as POE, nope, you can only play it online. There are no cracked servers or offline play options. That is a good thing but also a bad thing at the same time. The only other game in this genre that in my opinion is worth mentioning is Grim Dawn. It has online and offline options, it's made by the crew who worked on the old Titan Quest, it can offer quite a few hours of enjoyment and it's also on par with having a more dark atmosphere. There are also the sacred games, sacred 1-2, they still have a community and some mods, but those communities are much smaller than those from d2.
