ACT 3 Echoes - This is Daul Destiny all over again
This is as disappointing as Daul Destiny. I got all the way to end the end solo and the game soft locked and now I can't complete it.
I'm a dad, a husband and I go to work. I don't have that much spare time. This is definitely forced for players who have more time on their hands. I spent the £80-90 for the Annual Pass and this is what I get in return? A mission that is soooooooo long and dragged out, 90% platform and puzzles, then 10% shooting + A boss that has a terrible bug that forces the player to die again and again and again because the weak spot doesn't spawn in. I don't even have a meta build to reduce its health fast because I'm more of a casual + story driven player.
I swear once this year is over with and The final shape + it's "episodes" are done I won't be coming back to D2. I'm only playing it at this point for the money I put in.
No wonder The Final Shape did worst than Lightfall. Good Luck with Marathon.

Edited by chadley71: 8/29/2024 2:01:05 PMAgree on principle that this is annoying for us casual story led players who just wanna shoot stuff. Which for 90 percent of the time for the last 10 years has been the case. Now this. The mission (apart from bugs) looks pretty on par for an exotic mission. Do not have an issue with it and looks good, etc....will give it a go once bugs are fixed. BUT problem here is that these were always stand alone missions that could be done or not if you did not want the weapon itself. NOW these are integral to the story mission steps and have to be done to progress my Titan's journey. In a way similar to Dual Destiny, why is getting an exotic class item not solo as per rest of Final shape story? The mission itself looks great but again getting the exotic class item to me seemed very much part of the campaign yet you have to do it with some one else although not the campaign itself. My argument is that it never used to be like this only since Season of the Seraph things have got in the way for solo players and the story itself. Not fair on us (who have paid good money too for episodes) and yes not a problem for those who can do co op etc so why force it on solo players in a quest step? Plus Titans cannot jump so they happily put in chasm wide jump puzzles too. Where did the FPS from our MMO RPG FPS genre inception go and where does platforming come into it?
