Maps are too small!

Maps are too small, you port in and wipe out everything in the span of 5 minutes. Half of the maps are ether a straight line or a circle. What kind of brain dead map design is this? What is the point of having random maps if you already know where to go the moment you're inside?

Everything dies in half a second, you run to the end of the corridor and then its back to sorting garbage loot, tablets and waystones.

There should at least be an omen which dramatically increases map size and makes the layout less of a snoozefest.

Is it eliminating backtracking and maximizing grinding efficiency REALLY worth taking the game out of the game and knocking down one of the pillars of ARPG's?

I want to be surprised by dramatically different layouts each time I zone in, and I want it to take at least some effort to get through it, this has to change...

So why not pick a build that is fun and challenging, instead of a mindless op meta build?

I'm playing a off meta shield charge, resonating shield, bone shatter ES/Armor build.

The maps are really too small, and the layouts are absolutely brain dead. Why do people want the carnage to be over faster? its literally the game... Killing monsters is the game...

I swear that people asking for smaller/simpler maps would be happy to have every map just be a room with a big shiny chest to click on and port out...

everyone complained theyre too big and now theyre too small

Whats the point of bigger maps. Only reason incan think of is that bigger map allow more pits, but thats it.

Play SSF(HC) you are welcome

You're alone there, buddy.
Most people appreciate simple and predictable layouts.
Also size of a map doesn't matter as much as mob density. Even small map can be plenty satisfying if it has enough mobs (and yeah, some maps could use a little boost to mob count).

Don't be a typical complainer please, maps just got reduced because people complained they are too big. Restrain yourself in such situation please otherwise it's too ironic and stupid. Just do more maps or something, don't be ironic.

Threads like these are just more proof dev should dismiss most complains, players don't know what they want.

Some of the maps were pointlessly enormous before the last patch - smaller maps seem much better tbh.
