Wolcen - Lords of Mayhem: Bloodtrail
already got pissy by having to create another character to play the expansion, had to delete my "legacy" character with old items saying "This item comes from an old version of the game and may be unbalanced or malfunctioning".
had to redo all the city decisioning shit, it's fucking grating to play as to advance expedition levels you need to go 3 fucking levels of really big maps because this is a dungeon crawler, the game itself is defended as more as a "cinematic experience" with B-movie bri'ish voice acting and unmoving mouth character models until they remember they are supposed to move it, the megazord transformation can be seen as cool but your skillset depends on what you pick. at least the character voice changes on dialogues to the "robotic voice" if you are transformed.
the loot system sucking ass doesn't help and the transmog system is kind of ass too, you have to pick the damn items/dyes to unlock them on transmog and it can be a pain in the ass, the item grading follows diablo style rather than RPG style and to me it's ultra shit, the game having 150 percent godsdamned magic item find always dropping those rare items and never dropping a legendary/unique is annoying. if anything pick a old version of this game and use the Save Editor that exists to unlock shit in it since it carries to characters. the online mode and offline mode saves are different and there's no TCP/IP play, bitches wanna be diablo but forget one crucial detail that sets it apart from all other ARPG's when you ain't comparing it to the shit "online only" versions of the game, don't bother playing it offline unless you warez this game, go for online because you can participate on the gay events they enable AND DISABLE PETS. when you click on a far away item and have a active pet, your character will stand still like a idiot and the pet will sluggishly move to the item to pick it and if you move the pet cancels the item-pickup action, being a diablo clone you can guess it has fucked up pathing sometimes and trying to click on something depends on the game's finicky mood, i fucking "died" (more like wasted a resurrection token) by trying to steal health form a enemy using the parasite skill, some minion got in the way of my mouse and i ended up giving him life which drained mine, pair that with a DoT effect i had = ded, on the same parasite skill shit, it doesn't drain that much life to be sustainable as a heal and makes you lose health a bit with every tick. what. the. fuck. is with a vampirism skill that deals more damage than it heals? roll that back, what. the. fuck. is with a vampirism skills that damages and heals THE RECIEVER? how in the fuck am i going to heal if my own skill keeps damaging me?
buy wolcen once they are finished with the story shit, don't bother yet and be prepared for the slog that is expeditions even in multiplayer because the maps are huge af and always start hunts, on the 3rd part you end up finding the hunt earlier and if you kill it the end expedition portal will appear and you can skip the boss, he will never drop a legendary anyway.
