i really enjoy this league , crafting , missions , strongboxes and even if i need to play exra cautious cause of some stutters , hardcore is the way you need to play PoE.
SC is funny to try new builds and such but gets boring when you completed all the contents , maps , masters etc..
If the engine was smooth as Diablo 3 , this game would be perfect as it is , maybe lackluster of lore and charisma but who cares when you need to smash monsters?
