General thoughts (currently 58, just got to Torment).
-Good game, well made, great music and voice acting.
-Feel like the builds could use some work - most classes have only 1 or 2 that are really viable. Should be making the other ones better, not nerfing the good ones down.
-I think the enemies scaling is a really good/cool idea when you are in a party - but don't think it is a great idea for solo. Or at least, shouldn't be like that in totality. Feel like everyone likes knowing there is an "area" that they can't get to yet, or if they go, they are getting 1-2 hit destroyed by whatever is there. Also creates content to look forward to, as opposed to how it is now, where I got to Nightmare yesterday and Torment today and it's really not much different at all between the two. I am a WW Barb and I was able to just NoBrain spin every boss down until the boss fight to get into Torment (which is actually hard and it was the only boss I died to I think - and it was like 20 times).
-I've already got my money's worth and I think it has a good base to build from for expansions, so a lot of meat on the bone still.
-Oh and the end of the story was kind of dumb, not bad, but a bit duimb.

Was watching gameplay yesterday
Reminds me of d and d bsck in the day
The customization is pretty deep
But gameplay is kinda lackluster but chill
Anyone have an urge to play these type of games around Xmas time ??
I dunno what that is but
Prob get it for $30 by then

Plus, have fun when you try to respec into a poverty/under-geared/under-glyphed build at level 100 and you're still expected to perform like a geared level 100 that has been playing his spec for 100 levels.

Ya boi beat the campaign (died on final fight a bit), and WT2 capstone (died here too lol). Entered WT3 and got a taste of everything in the end game except for nightmare dungeons, PvP, and the large open world bosses.
Story was really good and kept me interested, the final cinematics were rather insane. Can't wait for what's to come in the expansion(s). Had goosebumps and felt motivated to lift weights after srs.
Level 52 arc lash atm. I've been mostly following a Maxroll guide for things.
I felt like while leveling 1-50 on WT2, my sense of power and overall game difficulty varied all the time. Very gear dependent. I didn't always upgrade my gear, both in the literal sense of upgrading at a shop, or finding upgrades (rocked a level 17 legendary ring till 50 lol) so I had phases where I felt like my damage was too low and enemies were too strong. And briefer moments where I was feeling overpowered as hell. My fault though because I wasn't consistently upgrading the gear, socketing gems, etc.
End game loop feels fun so far. I like that the Tree of Whispers tasks move around the world a lot so I'm finding myself in unexplored areas or finishing up side quests in areas I happen to be in anyways.
I can tell you that after you unlock WT3, and after you start getting more paragon points, and you get some sacred/unique pieces... the game stops feeling nearly as challenging, at least for WT3. I'm sure WT4 scales things up much more so I imagine you get one-shot or feel weak at least at the start... until the 90s+.
One thing I've been reading from people who made it to level 100 so far, is that paragon board feels a little OP to them. And I think I can already attest to that. I didn't know how it worked, but basically at level 52 I already have 10 paragon points, and I already got +20% magic damage, +20 int, 6% max life, and +5 will from it. These are major upgrades, given that since I've started WT3 at level 50, the enemies have only gotten slightly tougher overall from just the scaling that comes from them being 2 levels higher.
Pretty hyped for the end game stuff, but I'm not trying to sugar coat it since all things when they feel new to you are wondrous and interesting. And I still need to get into some nightmare dungeons and try out some other end game stuff.
