Below are my impressions after playing the game following the recent update :
-
The fact that I can’t continue with the character I was using before the update is honestly the biggest letdown. If I could’ve carried on with that character, I would’ve had an insanely fun time with Chapter 2. Seriously!
-
Item enchanting: Before the update, you could just keep buying items from the shop as long as you had money and keep enchanting them. But now, once you buy an item, it’s gone until it respawns—so no more enchanting to your heart’s content. If your enchant goes horribly wrong (before you find a Corrupted Ember), there’s no way to recover the item. You’re stuck with a ruined piece of gear. I’ve only had one Corrupted Ember drop since the update yesterday… it really kills the mood for playing, honestly.
-
Enemies have gotten so much trickier that I feel like I’m burning real-life stamina just hunting them down. Now that I’m in my mid-30s, I’m starting to realize that even gaming takes a toll on my body. Haha.
Don’t get me wrong—this update is awesome. But I think I’ll wait until multiplayer is released before diving back in.
- Unless you get the old “on-hit restore health/focus/stamina” Plague weapon options from before the update, it’s gonna be a rough ride.
++ If you’re thinking of playing this like Diablo or PoE, think again. You could kind of do that before the update, but I don’t think that’s gonna fly anymore. lol.
