Weird request for a game recommendation, but it can be any genre (FPS, hack n slash, TBS, etc.) D3 has desensitized me to feeling good when loot drops lol d2 I put a ridiculous amount of hours into d2 but I can't honestly call the loot system rewarding especially if someone is going to be playing solo and not using trade systems.

haven't tried grimdawn yet but i haven't found any newer game that matches what i want to be doing in an arpg as closely as d2 between d3, poe, torchlight 1 and 2, titan quest
d3 was great from ~2013 until they added greater rifts then the game got really stale really quickly and they kept increasing the legendary drop rate and handing out perfect gear until it wasn't even fun anymore
d3 had the best feeling combat and most fun builds for me

Man I would have liked to keep playing eternal but after grinding during the beta I got maybe a tenth of what I had grinded when they ended the beta. Couldn't even remotely begin to build any decks that I cared about and I had already been through the newbie grind once so I stopped playing. Felt bad, it's a good game.

I get not wanting to do the grind again.
They say theyre not resetting again though so there's that.
Honestly I'm really only going to play it for limited most likely and build up slowly towards constructed decks just like IRL with MTG, but in this case I'm not going to have to throw money at it. It's win win for me, and I LOVE that it's a REAL draft format.

While I was playing it I did a real draft one time for some starting quest where you had to do a real draft. I promptly lost every game in the most horrible fashion possible every time and concluded that the forge was where a clueless pleb like me belonged. Drafts are hard, man, people are smarter than the AI.

I dislike limited type of games so also kind of got off Eternal. Couldn't make any kind of ok deck after playing it for a few weeks. Compared to Shadowverse when I played like 2 weeks and can make 1/2 decent decks. Dislike how limited focus card games are.
Hope Gwent isn't like that. Really looking forward to it.

You really should give grim dawn a try if you like the genre. It is basically Titan quest 2 but in a different setting.

What features set it apart from Diablo 3, path of exile, or Torchlight? I see that I've played titan quest in my steam library, but I don't remember it.

Rather than classes you have 6 skill trees and you can combo 2 however you wish. There is also a devotion system (basically masteries) which lets you customize a bit more. There are more bosses and non trash mobs compared to d3. Haven't played path so can't say anything about it. It isn't really revolutionary or w.e. Just a solid arpg.

The 1080 will get ya. I'll post pictures of my new one, I just did some last touches to it yesterday. Only thing more I'm thinking about is an additional fan in the front for positive air pressure or w/e.

Speaking of Titan Quest 2, I got it in some bundle ages ago and never tried it, has it aged well enough to be worth playing still?

I think it has aged decently. Doubt you would play all 3 difficulties but think it is worth to blast through normal at least :D.
Also 2016 was amazing. Hopefully 2017 is even better.
