Running act5 bounties even as a DH can be painful at times because the maps are gigantic so finding the shit for the bounty takes a while. Story was alright I thought, better than vanilla, even though shorter, but malthael doesn't spend the entire pandemonium spamming you with tweets from the spirit realm and they didn't decide some pink unicorn demon would kill Shen just because. Agree on the lack of cinematic, especially since the intro one was great. Maybe for ladder patch? Seems unlikely but maybe it wasn't finished. Don't care too much.
TecKnoe loot 2.0 is working ok for me, upgrades aren't like super fast once you get very well rolled rares but there's still a bunch of cool items even though a large majority of what you loot is basically crafting materials waiting to be salvaged. Gold issue isn't really a huge issue I think, but crafting does suck quite a bit, mostly the recipes with gems suck, the ones without are ok. Gold mostly an issue if you're trying to gem everything with the higher level gems right away, even though they're 3times as expensive as the tier before and offer very marginal increases. Or if you're trying to craft shit using said gems, which does suck.
