The game is no doubt fun, and it very well might be your style especially if you want a slower ARPG. I'm still gonna finish up all the side quests and dungeons in the next 2-3 days, but I've not really been excited to log on, and that worries me because I was truly looking forward to hitting this game really hard for a long time.
If they make a few very key changes to the game - most specifically: Maps already uncovered on second character, a separate gem bag inventory, easier teleports to friends, easier stash/anvil access, ability to teleport to a map entrance (heck, I'm even okay with this only being available after completing it once), and allowing you to store an infinite amount of tree points to turn them all in at once the game will improve a lot.

Did you not read the last sentence you quoted?
I will be honest, I think you were just waiting for enough people to tell you not to buy it, because peer pressure or fomo was starting to inch its way in.

I still think it's worth picking up if you're a fan of the genre and I will probably get 200-300 hours before I burn out of boredom and then only play during seasons like I do with PoE / D3.

Definitely some QoL changes that would make it so much better. Time will tell if they paywall some of it, tie it to seasons or some other form , instead of just adding it.

But longer time to do what? Finish a game that's designed never to be finished? Reach the end game? Isn't the main purpose to have fun, and people will have different definitions of what fun is?
For example, I'm playing coop right now with my girlfriend. She cannot pass up a chest without opening it. She likes to break everything. She wants to check every-item-she-picks-up to see if it's an upgrade. She loves it when her paper doll changes looks and she likes the outfit. She has to warp back to town to sell/salvage 3x for every one time I have to.
She's having a blast, and she almost never plays video games. I'm having a blast because she's having a blast, even though it's slow going.
On my other character, the one I play solo, I'm having fun just doing things at my pace. I don't group, so yes, I'm behind the curve of almost all of you. But so fucking what? Is there some sort of race I'm not aware of? I have zero interest in Ladder from a competitive standpoint when it releases. I'll get to end game a lot later for sure, but I'm having fun with the journey to that point. I sometimes get the feeling that people who race to the endpoint are the same ones that burnout quicker and more likely to "quit" the game, coming back to repeat the same cycle, versus someone like me who plays slowly but consistently throughout.

This is me for basically every ARPG. I don't play these games long term. Never have, never will.

Depends on how good the seasons are. I'm already feeling boredom creep in pretty hard.

Send me a friend request @ Janx#1578 and I'll get you added that way. Maybe Daidraco stopped it from showing up again.
Edit: Just checked, its set to not be viewable.

Same with Last Epoch, they do a good job making it where players can experiment if they'd like.

This is pretty much the review of anyone who played this hard for the first week. The people trying to teach folks how wrong we are completed the story yesterday and haven't even gotten to WT4.

I think a lot of developers use it as a pseudo "gold" sink in games. I think they should find other ways to remove currency from the economy and allow players to freely experiment but I think that's why it's used so often IMO.
Yeah, there really isn't a perfect system. I do mostly enjoy scaled content so that nothing ever feels "pointless" to do. However, it does lead to that feeling of your character never really feeling like they are "progressing"/becoming more powerful.

So I really enjoyed Grim Dawn, but that was years ago. Picked up Last Epoch a few months ago (whenever the multiplayer patch hit) and really enjoyed it until end game. And then I just couldn't force myself to log in anymore.
It sounds like this one will be similar, where it's fun to level up, but the thought of end game and/or rolling another class is excruciating.
We're not even a week in and I'm seeing lots of posts reflecting that it was fun for a bit, but it wore off super fast.
And the difference (I know you all don't care about money) is this one is double the price of those.
I appreciate all the feedback, even if it looks like whining or whatever to some of you. I'm a very discerning customer. And if I'm wrong, please keep giving me examples of why.
