This.

And it's not even "past act 2", it's past act 1 where everything goes completely out of control. Regular mobs hit as hard as the bosses do, and elites are way the hell harder than the bosses. I play a demon hunter so it's not too bad for me, but my friends basically gave up their classes and rerolled wizard/wd because melee just cannot possibly survive act 2+.

The difficulty progression made us completely shit our pants. We go from murdering act 1 and being able to tank the butcher to dying in 1 hit from a wasp hitting for 30k damage. Okay.

People on the official forums are suspecting they gated acts 2+ to prevent people from farming with nephalem valor, but that makes no sense to me when wizards and demon hunters can just stomp everything with completely broken unbalanced skills that allow them to focus everything on damage.

I still really like this game, but whatever's going on here it's pretty much retarded.

I'm very concerned about the lack of challenges ala D2's Median; once inferno's down, all that's left is to deck out your character but when there's nothing to use that gear on aside from more inferno farming I don't really see the point.

The achievements are idiotic as well as most of them are just completely arbitrary crap like "talk to every dude in the game", or extremely grindy boring stuff like "get two characters of the same class to max level", or luck-based stuff like getting all the events etc... I like achievements to add some degree of extra challenge to the game if you want it, but there are exceedingly few boss challenge achievements. Oh well.

Now I'm done venting. I've played for well over 120 hours now and I'm not done at all yet, so this is still a great game... it just could've been better. I mean, come on, it's been 9 years! I expected a little more.
