I'm having a good time with it, way more than I did last time.

Yea same. His standards for what a build can do are higher then mine though. I can deal with a decent amount of clunk and low ceiling on scaling.

Almost been a full year and feels like not much has changed. Campaign is such a slog. Upgrades? Hah, use the trade site! Body blocking is still a thing (better than release though) with no real movement skills. Game looks a little better than POE so I guess that's cool.

Got through act 1 with only 5 ex and 1 regal, so crafting gear still isn't an option, and only enough gold to buy a few things from the vendor if you're lucky. If they want to keep the early acts at the current difficulty level they really need to up the drop rates across the board. Experienced players will manage but new or low skill players are going to keep hitting a brick wall and just bounce from the game.

Guild stash is integral to upgrades it seems.

I'm not playing but I did watch the reveal/annoucement video. Jonathon may be the best dev or manager in the world. But they really should get someone else to be the "face" of those type of things.

I am still in act 1. Fun so far. Feels like the usual arpg that is just slow going at these levels. Have to kite bigger packs. Only a couple things seem to give me trouble. There was these knights in a mausoleum that reflected every shot at me and those reflects did crazy dmg. If I got them with a bigger pack of mobs, or those abyss invasions it was alot of kiting. If they were alone or in a small group of mobs, could get melee and shoot, dodge, shoot, dodge so they didnt reflect anything. The other thing is occasionally getting corned by a ton of mobs and you are just stuck and better pray you can kill fast enough before you die. I assume later you have movement abilities like teleport, leap or something to avoid those situations.

5k gold so far, been able to buy any upgrades from vendor I find. Even some yellows.

Does it just get rougher later? Usually the first couple acts are the slowest and things just speed up from there.

Dunno how hard it will be later on since they added the new act and interludes instead of rerunning acts a second time
