Changes to Act 3 Areas in Path of Exile 2

"
"
We have also noticed that a common issue is doing a side area and then coming back to the main area and finding that it has been reset, making you need to clear it a second time. We have a more permanent solution in mind for this issue but as a temporary improvement we have increased the timeout time for areas with side-areas off them. This should reduce how often you run into this issue.


It shouldn't reset AT ALL except for when you move from Act 3 normal to Act 1 cruel, and that's not even talking about having to replay the campaign all over again anyway.

This is one of the dumbest design decisions I've seen.

To be fair, they only reason we have to replay the campaign is because they haven't finished act 4,5 and 6 yet. IMO they launched the EA way too early but I'm sure Tencent was pressuring them to get something out.

Is the cut drowned city area cut for good now? Or will it be introduced at a later date?

I like how GGG does not take the easy (and often dumb) solution requested and instead focuses on the investigation of the root cause of the problem, looking to solve the problem systematically instead of applying a quick fix (bigger numbers!) that will break something else. The reworking of the maps was a great idea.
I didn't see any mention of Jamanra the Abomination, the Act 2 end Boss being looked at...

The changes as of last night made this idiot uber powerfule and a real cock block compared to 0.1.

Has anyone looked at this glaring issue?

I'll try him again after this post to check.
Awesome changes, lets go!
Act 3 was my main issue with the campaign.

(And underpowered skills, which there are a lot)
the right direction now normalize this across the whole game
Cool. Now please get rid of magic find. Just because it was in D2 twenty years ago doesn't mean a good ARPG has it in it. Wasn't it Mark that said something like "if one choice is the only good choice every time, it isn't really a choice"?
Please just get rid of it. The loot situation is a joke.
