Hi all,

As the title says.

Looking for an ARPG with no seasons/leagues.

I'm burnt out having to start from 0 level up and farm all the gear again.

Technically like WoW but without the subscription and multiplayer focus. New content but you don't have to level up from 1 again.

I love grinding dungeons and looking for gear, but I hate losing all that time and effort and starting all over again. I'm done with seasons.

 

[poodaddy]

Can't you just play Diablo 2 through 4 and completely ignore the seasons? Like just focus on the main story?

Honestly one ofy favorite ARPG games up there with Diablo 2, PoE and Titan Quest. No seasons either

Torchlight

edit: beaten

 

[MagiusNecros]

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest, LotR War in the North(you can get digital off of Gamestop and get a Steam Key that way), The Ascent, Shadows: Awakening.

You probably want Grim Dawn though if you want that Diablo/PoE experience.

Edit: Oh yeah I forgot. Sacred Gold.

Came to post this!

Definitely Torchlight or Grim Dawn. I wouldn’t mess with Torchlight 3 though, 2 is hands down the better game.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Van Helsing games?

Oddly enough T2 never clicked for me and I loved the first game.

 

[Joramun]

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Time to do some research.

I've played Torchlight and I'm not a fan of the cartoony look unfortunately.

I actually didn't play much of the first one, so I can't compare lol, but from my understanding it's a lot like the OG Diablo, where its a single dungeon you slowly decend into. I probably would like it if I tried it out.

Too bad Torchlight 3 was such a flop. They didn't even include modding which would have been awesome.

Grim dawn is the one then, no contest.

 

[March Climber]

I'm currently playing this game because it was in my backlog. It doesn't play like an isometric ARPG at all. It plays more like a poor mans God of War, in the wrapping of a grindy single player MMO.

You're better off playing Titan Quest.

 

[Yumi]

Here to support Grim Dawn. 10 hours in, having a blast.

Final fantasy 14 free trial now includes the base game "a realm reborn" + heavensward expansion, + stormblood expansion and you can play all the content in the base game and the expansions forever and completely free.

You only start needing a subscription if you want to progress onto the later expansions.

Maybe one day they will port Champions of Norrath to Steam.

Ff14 is needlessly complex. Even the easiest class to play (healer) has a ton of useless added complications just to keep the gameplay flowing.
All the different phases, tokens, synergies, etc make it way more complex than it needs to be.
I don't think it can be compared to Diablo, Torchlight, etc.

 

[MagiusNecros]

FFXIV has no business being in a thread that wants a Diablo/PoE kind of playstyle and gameplay loop. Completely different kind of game IMO.

 

[hlm666]

Benny has the top step of the podium.

If for some reason this isn't an option, maybe Wolcen but grim dawn should be the first thing you look into.

 

[Little Mac]

The wait for this is excruciating. There's a direct in early March.

Path of Exile is the best of them, really.
Just play Standard if you don't want to restart in seasons.
Also, PoE2 beta comes some time in the summer and by all accounts it should be a banger.

There is also Last Epoch releasing 1.0 in late February. Same deal, there will be seasons, but also an eternal realm with no restarts. It's a pretty good game, I played a few betas back and it's fun.
It can also be played offline, which is definitely an advantage over PoE.
