How they made 6 more acts when it took, a really long time to just do act 4.

More money and more employees.

the only wall youll hit is not having resist gear lol unless you do something really dumb like invest into every kind of weapon instead of just swords or something.

Or investing in claws at all, until this last league and it's unique claws and even then idk because they scale off Int.

Or not taking enough life nodes if not going for ES, happens way too often.
Example: some level 81 guy with barely 1.8k life whispering me about +% life jewels.

i posted about it right before i quit, and it seems like the general opinion was that i didn't have nearly enough life.

idk. theres life nodes everywhere and you grab them lol

i think the problem is that the start of the game is too slow. youre basically invincible until act 3, and by then you're shredding everything with high damage.

then merc comes around and everything hits like a truck and oop you skipped too much life for more offense

grinding past the lab will now be more organic, since you don't repeat acts

you'll not feel bad for missing the normal lab when you start cruel, you'll just hit it after act 5 instead of after act 3 or whatever

they just put up the timer for the legacy league (which sounds awesome btw, you can basically equip league bonuses and have the various league events from the past take place in the next room), and some good news

so the juggernaut ascendancy on marauder has a passive that reads "cannot be slowed", which sounds lame compared to some pretty big damage upgrades but holy poo poo it rules. basically immune to any kind of slow curse, chill, traps, etc. atk speed is also always topped off no matter what. it feels so good im loving unstoppable.

I feel like the shorter and boring-sounding a unique buff in PoE is, the more awesome it is in practice
