So, after years of not playing Diablo 2 (I used to play the original a decent bit back in the day, usually with mods), I started a playthrough not too long and I just arrived in Act 3, and…
WoW, holy crap. Like I knew that Act 3 was the worst part of the game before going in, but I forgot how much it sucks compared to the rest of the game.
It’s a giant maze, and you have to cover every tiny corner of the map, the enemies are super annoying like the tiny little guys who can run across the screen in 2 seconds flat, their shamans can take you from 100% down to 10% life in 2 seconds flat with their overpowered flame spit.
The dungeons have traps that are constantly triggered instead of just triggered once and they just spew poison gas everywhere constantly, you can’t even check items laying on the ground, because you’re continually setting off the stupid traps even if you’re standing still.
The waypoints are annoying to actually find until you finally get to Lower Kurast, and I’m not looking forward to fighting 5 (I think it was?) bosses simultaneously near the entrance to the final dungeon, and I’m having trouble remembering where the frick some of these dungeons are to get the parts to make the flail.
I simply can’t wait until I get to act 4. Strange that literal Hell is easier (except for Diablo himself of course) and more pleasant than some random jungle in the world, lol. At least here in a couple levels I can make a King’s Grace (I’mma use a war scepter once I get someone to sell me a 3 socketed one) and once I get to act 4, laugh at the puny demons that get in my way.
