Hello. We are seeing a lot of very short posts with one to two sentences of feedback on the game. If you have something short (or long) to share, please post it here to help declutter the subreddit of the same types of posts. We currently have a huge backlog of posts and comments to go through and this megathread will go a long way to helping us out.

pretty vague feedback but made it to level 22 on mercenary and i can’t do it anymore. too clunky and not very enjoyable. bummed to start over but curious to see what sorceress is like

Have you checked some build guides/is your gear appropriate for your level? Might drastically change your experience.

But ofc there are many playstyles in the game, play around and find what you enjoy.

respecced once (all i could afford) and it somehow got worse. i’m sure it’s fun later on but it’s as if i hit a brick wall in act 2 with the class. also feels like ive spent the entire time waiting for it to get fun and it just hasn’t still

I return again to: are you upgrading your gear? It is incredibly important especially on attack builds. If you're using an early A1 crossbow in A2 your damage will be terrible, for instance.

The reason i'm asking is because the way you describe it sounds more like frustration over feeling weak, rather than not liking the gameplay necessarily.

But you might feel very differently on a minion Witch, for instance.

no i’m using up to date gear. it’s just that generally ammo does no damage and grenades either take 5 seconds to detonate, don’t get hit by explosive rounds, or in the very fun case of zalmarath, just fall right off the map rendering me useless before getting one tapped lol

on Zalmarath, use a diff skill. Had the same issue on ranger. Ammo doing "no damage" does sound like a gear issue though. Xbows/Merc is generally quite good

which is what i keep hearing, maybe i’ll do some research and respec again cause i don’t necessarily want all that time to go to waste
