It's fine for solo but the issue is not everything is clear. With this game you really need to be following guides for builds and searching up things you don't quite understand else youll stagnate. You could figure things out if you're meticulous searching through each vendors menus and such but that would require a lot of thought.
I don’t necessarily agree with the builds thing if you are purely playing solo. As long as things are dying at a rate you’re happy with then that’s fine - you only really notice it when you are doing helltides and a wandering Druid obliterates everything in the blink of an eye.
I started off following a build (I play sorc) but I really didn’t enjoy the play style. I ended up doing my own thing and it’s turned out alright. I’m 95 now and I’m grinding NM at 48-50 because apparently going higher is pointless, general trash dies instantly/quickly in most cases, and I can still kill the butcher. I could kill things faster but I’d have to ditch a load of defensive stats and I’m already being one shot by random ranged mobs - but that’s the life of a sorc I guess.
I’ll look at guides later on when people have figured things out a bit better. Sorc guides seem a bit half-arsed atm because let’s face it, no one is playing sorc lol.
Plus… I’m totally getting some buffs today which will change everything, right…? Right…?
Please can I have some buffs? ._.
Aside from that, I completely agree, nothing explains how the game works which is frustrating and you absolutely need game guides. I was taking the scenic route through the campaign and then around level 30 I was thinking “when do I get that damn horse…” I thought it would be kinda like wow I guess, you hit a certain level and someone chucks a quest at you for your mount. Then I looked it up and discovered you need to get through a big chunk of the campaign, that pissed me off. Could have had the damn horse ages ago.
I'm 55 and still don't have the horse :( I'm in Act 3
You aren’t too far off then, it’s end of act 3 I think
