Firstly, thanks for checking out this post.
I have been an ARPG fan since D2, and I have been looking to continue that experience for the last 20 years! I play exclusively Hardcore - having recently sunk 1000+ hours into GD, I tried PoE yesterday (just didn’t grab me), I also played Torchlight I and II which I quite enjoyed. Most recently I have been playing a GD mod ‘Reign of Terror’ to bring back some of the D2 nostalgia.
So., there’s the context, here are the questions:
-
Can I play hardcore - is there a reasonable hardcore community?
-
Any indication when multiplayer will be around?
-
There is a ladder I see, How often does this reset?
-
Is there an in game ‘chat’ mechanic?
-
Is there an economy? perhaps my only gripe with GD is that there wasn’t any kind of market place - I dont think I traded with a player ever. the ONLY thing that really draws me to PoE is the prospect of a genuine ecomomy - I spent ages in the D2 trade rooms.

Convince me to buy the game, I’m still in lockdown and I do enjoy an ARPG
