Massive pacing issues.

SSF

There is a massive issue of... continuity? What should we call it... funloss(?) in this game.

Campaign is great, challenging but pretty easy, feels a little long but its fun.

Gearing, currency, power curve- it all feels good. Passives feel slow- but I think the massive passive tree causes the automatic impression that you'll get a LOT of points... then you don't really get many at all. Even with all the bonus ones, which is really fun, it still feels very thin.

Then everything gets less and less.

Less levels.
Less passive points.
Less experience.
Experience loss.
Difficulty sustaining maps.
Little currency to use on gear.
VERY difficult to upgrade gear.
Less playing the game and more time in stash and crafting, learning the passives to make a good build.
Next to no point, or guide to a point of the endgame.
What is the purpose of the extra content?
Suddenly there are omens.
People are talking about mirrors in chat.
Suddenly the game slows waaaaay down, and at the same time its so unguided that you can learn about new things after you've been playing the game for months.
What are these splinter things? Why are they in stacks of 300 and I just got 2, how long do they think I'm going to play this game?

I've never played a game where there are so many possibilities and its so incredibly unclear there are so many possibilities.

You also never really get anything. You don't get 100, so you never have full passives to make a build. Its not like wow, you level then you play once you have all the base tools available.

This game feels like I'm always in a half-ass mode trying to get to full-ass mode, but I'll never get to full ass mode because experience scaling falls off a cliff. The only place experience feels ok is in the temple with a ton of exp additions.

Then you get 90% exp in the temple and go get unluckied by a boss twice in a row and lose a fuckton of exp/time and start typing in the forums.

I've gotten a couple characters to 90 and its been pretty fun. Campaign is really fun, it feels like you're doing something. Endgame... it just hits bad. Its fun for a bit, you get your character figured out... and then its just too much work with no reward to push further.

I also feel super aimless in endgame. I want to be actually aiming towards a goal. I just have a bunch of vaal npcs telling me to hurry up. Hurry up and what? Kill corruption? Sick, how? Eternally clear the infinite map, nah bro, lol.
