gear drops in Epoch are going to be really different, I have been playing now for over 100 hours, I dont care about whether its epic, rare, or what not, but the stats that it has that can be extracted. The crafting system is pretty awesome imo, and making your gear takes ALOT of time and effort
Hell I would have no problems with POE if the camera was this far out......
Edit: Nope...can't handle another D2 style inventory. I don't mind paying for it but don't give me that oversized everything...POE got that wrong as well imho
I mean...that's just part of ARPGs. Inventory management.
inventory tetris
Inventory management is okay. I hate inventory tetris. It's probably my single most hated vestigial feature clinging to these games.
On one hand, i understand the frustration to a degree. But on the other hand...in the amount that gear drops in ARPGs....what is the need to fill your inventory with gear when 99.5% drops are going to be useless?
Learning how to loot in ARPGs is a skill people need to learn when playing ARPGs. It's not like playing an mmo where you pick up every piece of gear that drops and sell it all to a vendor or shard it. 1000x the amount of gear drops in ARPGs compared to mmos, so you can't really expect looting to work the same way.
I like the system Grim Dawn uses where you can turn off the visibility of gear drops below your chosen quality level.

Yea, Path of Exile has become infinitely more enjoyable ever since they added the loot filter system. It's basically like that but it goes even deeper. You can turn off the visibility of gear based on quality, the type, slot, whatever you want.
Should become a staple of any future ARPGs honestly *looking at D4*

PoE doesn't have inventory Tetris though. The stash is bottomless and globally accessible. Not sure how folks could compare PoE's inventory system to Diablo. All items also only take one square.

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
