Difference between D4 and Poe

I find myself way more invested in POE2 and I think I figured out why.

There’s always this “just one more map” mentality that I have, knowing I have work the next day and I should really stop playing.

In D4, the drops that you get are just equipment upon equipment that you have to sift through and to masterwork just for a sliver of improvement to your output.

The main difference in POE2 is that the drops you’re looking for is not necessarily gear but it’s that chase currency you’re going for.

Low level? Exalts dropping feels great! Early maps? Divines are game changing. Late game? Just one more map maybe the Mirror will drop giving you that “fk yeaaaaa!” feeling.

It’s that constant chase and that “Ding” just shoots straight dopamine into my ape brain.
