I'm having more fun than I thought I would, knowing full well that once I hit 70+, I'm likely going to get fed up and walk away. I give it a few more days TBH. If I wasn't waiting for the Lost Ark update in a few weeks, which leaves me doing chores, and PoE devs had a clue and actually launched a new half decent season a week or 2 ago, I wouldn't even be here. Fuck launch a halfassed rehash of one of the top seasons, $$$.
Ultimately I'm getting my value of the 130$+ CAD I paid for the game, and I'll finish off most of S1. Season was only thing worth playing, should have been in from launch, this eternal realm shit was a boring beta extension that wasted everyones time aside from map & altars. Literally one of the worst launches ever, purely because the people in charge of this game are disorganized, dogfucking chuckleheads.
Sadly I don't see any return value to the game, even with new season mechanics, I'm not going to enjoy levelng in this game ever again, there is no powerfantasy, the plateaus of feeling godlike and crushing everything in your path are very small & narrow.
Even with peak build, lvl 100 and BiS endgame NMD 60+ is still going to be a clusterfuck of CC, AOE, and dance dance revolution for your fingers 1 shot kill bullshit. Who the fuck considers that shit FUN for thousands of runs, honestly?
