Too easy.

Opinion

Played until level 15 with the sorc last night. Did lightning skills. Chain lightning basically one shots most mobs. Speaking of mobs, where are they? Game seems sparse. Played on Legendary or whatever it’s called.

I’m hoping power level is buffed for the beta. (I normally play d2 single player p8, so that may play a part. But, it did feel like I was leveling quite quickly.)

Anyone else feel it seems easy?

You're playing at lower levels with a stronger class in the second easiest difficulty. This isn't going to be like D2 difficulty.

Doesnt matter. Act1 is literally a tutorial.

so what? its like playing d2 for the first time, without being able to pick hell difficulty... doing normal story mode and every side quest

on top of that you have increased legendary droprate during beta and some people who complain its too easy are running around with minimaxed full legendary gear

I just expected a bit more toughness. I know I haven’t progressed far, but I still expected more. What do you think of mob density?

That's a tough one to answer. I always want more things to kill but not because of difficulty. It's just fun constantly on the threat of enemies.

I could see them fine tuning it a bit more but I just don't see this game ever being as difficult as D2 was. Simply because of accessibility. They want casuals to enjoy the game too. Do I wish there were more options to crank up the difficulty for people who want to? Sure. But then it wouldn't work for their current set up of always online/sharing the world. It's complicated and I wish everyone could get what ythey want. I'm assuming Blizzard wants the difficulty barriers for end game.

Yeah, I can see that. I’m glad they have D2R for the D2 feel. After playing Last Epoch, this feels like it.

The Circle that shows enemies attacks: I don’t care much for it. Idk if that’s just a new thing with arpgs, but meh.

Just play any other class. Sorc and Necro are currently very OP and miles ahead of other classes.

Thinking about another for next play time. I did expect sorc to be easier, I’m just hoping power levels are shifted for final. Still fun.

I mean, even the harder of the two difficulty modes that are currently available would be the equivalent of a "normal mode."

Okay druid on veteran.

The only fun I've had so has been by making sure I'm slightly under leveled for the areas I'm exploring. Even then, most enemies can just be ignored as they pose very little threat.

I'm aware things are going to be different upon release, but this does not showcase the game very well for players who are looking to be challenged. My experience with the beta so far has been pretty boring, and that's a disappointment. :/
