Where the hell is the way point at the ziggurat temple I literally have to walk out of town to a waypoint in the drowned city in order to access any other part of the game.

This has to be trolling.

I can't take this serious..

I'm dead serious! I got stuck in someone's hideout the other day too! There was no waypoint in the area, and I couldn't cast a tp. I had to exit game and reenter.

As for getting stuck in act 3, if you go to the "present" act 3 cruel, there is no waypoint in town. You walk through the time machine portal and it puts you back to act 1 as though you are starting a new difficulty, and from there if you TP it takes you back to act 3! The same act 3 with no waypoint in it!

so let me get this right: you are mad that you dont understand how to play a video game?

Cand you give me some examples of other games that are punishing?
I'm genuinely curious.

My favourite games are Starcraft II, Age of Empires II, Heros of the Storm and Diablo II. RTS in general is pretty punishing.. but in a different way... And Diablo II is punishing enough.

I don't necessarily mind the fact that I can't beat the trial of Sekhemas it is more about the mess and confusion and BULLSHIT I have to go through to figure things out.

For example, I am just noticing there is a little + sign on the skull of a side boss.. this indicates that I get skill points if I kill it??

And now Im just screwing around in a2 norm "spires of deshar" to check to see if I got the 10% lightning resistance from the shrine since there doesnt seem to be a way to track this on the compmleted quests or map!

Punishing my ass, punishing is not the issue. I found it and yes I had done it. Makes me want to alt f4.

I'm a little less pissed off now but honestly this game makes me so mad sometimes.

By "Wall of Text" I mean reading 6 modifiers on each item, even the map stones, and these random ass tests where you pick all these rewards and take all these penalties... and you die randomly due to "honor" instead of hit points. And then theres the massive scale of the passive tree in general and all the skill gems. Its so much reading!

And then you end up with so much shit filling your stash! And its all crap!

I am drowning in crap playing this game.

Made some progress though.. not quite as pissed off.

It's definitely a game that requires time to sit and learn. I did it now becuase once all the classes, weapons, skills and supports are fully released its gona be super overwhelming.

You really have to turn off anything in the background and just focus on the game, teach yourself the systems and mechanics using the tooltips. if youre a decent ARPG player the campaign is certainly possible to complete without any guides or outside knowledge.

Its a commitment for sure, and if that's not for you then its totally understandable but its not really fair to say the game is shit because it requires alot of learning to play.

I did it with a warrior first go which unfortunately is now known to be an underperforming class in the hands of 90% of players AKA normal gamers. Im playing again with a sorc because rn I really cant take to the endgame and its jarring shift in gameplay and overly punishing deaths.

Funny enough I found the campaign to be easier with Warrior, especially bosses, but the progression into mapping after the 6 acts he dropped off super hard, basically immediately. Endgame really needs to be tuned far better and better explained for people who've never engaged with the map mechanics like breach, expedition, etc.
