Additional waypoint in Pyramid

It's rather frustating, in the pyramid climb, to be disconnected or desynchronized or interrupted by a realm restart or by whatever else.

It seems that the journey is longer that the mean time between interruptions.

I suggest that, as long as these problems are not reasonably fixed, a new waypoint be created somewhere in the path to the top.

You would have cried when the last WP was in the very start of the waterfall cavern lol.

I had the same problem, until I discovered that you can run through the pyramid without getting seriously hurt by the monsters. I do this with my duelist and marauder, which both have move penalties of 10-15%, but a good defense. Life never gets below 80%.

In that way you can easily find the stairs and climb your way up.

The reason why there is no waypoint inside the pyramid (or so I believe) is to discourage boss runs. Sure, you could just rush through every level and go straight to Vaal. But putting a waypoint almost right before him is just way too abusable.

Boss runs lol. Everyone in HC is happy to survive Oversoul and goes to farm easier areas. Unlike D2 bosses don't give shit here so there is no reason to do boss runs.

Hahaha. That's a great point about hardcore! I do, however, believe as Ferumbras that the distance is to discourage boss run spamming. McHuberts is also right, you can phase run through pyramid in a couple minutes if you had to (just watch out for snakes). I do it in default to practice the Vaal fight for HC.

In a full party in default league in merciless it seriously takes 10 minutes to rush the boss and repeat, everyone splits up first person to the top opens a portal and bam.

All this does is make it frustrating for soloers
