Good thing they'll be drawing from Lost Ark/Immortal then and not POE.
I can promise Fractured Plane is a D4 feature of some kind that they are beta testing on Immortal-- to "innovate" the rift system from D3.
For people who don't know what it is, think Torghast as the closest comparison.
Hopefully done right this time.

I'm not gonna claim PoE is easy on people that skim past guidance, or even those who seek it, but your example there is retarded.
Capturing something is part of Einhar's intro quest, and he then asks you to visit the menagerie where the quest explains what to do with those beasts. Each master has an intro quest like that. Unless you just keep those half-finished quests forever or pay zero attention to what you are doing while you are completing them.
Wanting a game you can cruise around in with minimal attention is fair enough. If that's what you are after, There are games where it works. PoE is definitely not for you, but it's on you in this case, not the game.

I haven't played PoE in a few years but the few times I dove in and got to "endgame" the complication wasn't that frontloaded and you could pretty much just hop in and play.
But once you've gotten *really* good at one RPG, you know that you won't get that good until you've got a really good handle of the mechanics (or gotten your hand held by someone who does), so the complication feels overwhelming. Either ignore it and just enjoy the experience, learn the game or don't play old and bloated RPGs like EQ or PoE. There's more streamlined, new or mechanically basic games than games with ridic bloated mechanics, and the veterans generally enjoy the game because of the bloated mechanics.
I know when I went back to WoW a couple of years ago and saw the game was simpler than it was when I left it ten years ago I quickly lost interest.

D2 was as “obtuse” in many ways as PoE. The evolution of the internet and time solved d2. D3 is a fucking happy meal of an arpg. Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, PoE and D2 all shit all over d3. I played a lot of d3 too, but it’s Candy Crush. There’s nothing to “master” or “learn.”

So your bar for a community being trash is they told you to youtube an explanation of the systems that someone has recorded instead of manually typing it all out specifically for you? The correct response to your question should have been to youtube it, followed up by calling you a faggot. People spend hours putting together videos and build guides for PoE yet the community is trash? I'm sorry they don't have the time to also spoon feed it to you.

My only gripe with POE is not wanting to replay the whole story to try entirely different builds.
Either you grind respec currency, trade for them, or re-play, with the first two options really being unreasonable. I'd love to be able to have a field day with that glorious skill tree...but im tired of replaying the story, and just want to focus on maps an end game stuff.

Like really. I get it. There absolutely is a market for a beer and pretzel ARPG type game. One that lets you binge troon hentai on your second monitor while you run through dungeons and look for whatever. One where you can, to some degree, farm out items for builds that can work alone. POE simply isn't that game unless you do play that way then run into a brick wall because you bricked your schizo build without realizing it. Not many people would do that repeatedly though but that is most likely your first league experience (it was definitely mine lol).
Something like Hades, but with the online component is what comes to mind to me.
If D3 is any indicator and knowing Blizzard is now full of talentless hacks D4 will likely be an even more derivative ARPG game with a grittier atmosphere. They'll copy some of the POE stuff they know works and call it a day.

Same here. I never understood why POE forces you to farm currency and tokens for weeks to have a small chance at crafting something or have enough currency to buy from other players. ARPGs are not MMOs in my book, I like to be done in a week playing 3,4 hours per night. I might start another class or build if it's fun but why on earth some games make you literally wor,k 12 hour grind shifts for "fun" is beyond me. Might be some "have job" issue but still it does not make a game better if you force player to do dailies, chores, spare time work etc. Mr. Wilson.

If they want my money, D4 better comes up an endgame system better than "replay the entire story from level 1" every damn season.

This. So fucking this. These games always bore me to fucking tears cause I already know how to handle every fucking thing. You would think they would be able to do some really fantastic shit since everything is generated on the fly. Maybe have a league or a season feature that uses that tech for monsters? Or they really go out of the box and the world has some shit based off what players in the MMO/overworld part of the game do (ie. the system AoC says will be in place at launch. Node this tier and a Dragon spawns etc.)
