So what you have is a plethora of Torchlight 2 games and many are following their own rules. People can cheat and create items at will. Beyond this, Torchlight 2 IS the spiritual successor to Diablo 2.

One thing you don't mention is Path of Exile doesn't use random maps. Torchlight 2 does. And I don't think Path of Exile has a single player game. Torchlight 2 does. Probably lots of other things. Oh, and Torchlight 2 can now be substantially modded because GUTS has been released. Can Path of Exile do that?

Torchlight 2 is freedom. No big man at the top to push you around.

I've played TL2, I stand behind it too. Great game.

The UI elements of PoE really got me tho. Its great to have the same type of inventory etc.

Also the end of d2 was nothing but a grind. i mean btw MF meph/pindles etc and baal hammerdins it was all a grind. but an excellent grind.

one thing i wish it had was the d2 style chat room where your avatar was your actual char, so badass.
