What do you think of Act 3?

4/5 - Art, lore, diversity of enemies all very good.

I feel it's a bit under-rewarded relative to its size. It seems A2 had better quest rewards.

Case in point, saving the lady and getting her dude's item (lost in love). She thanks you by giving you some sewer keys and then specifically justifies the blandness of the gift as "opening possibilities" or something like that. That's all well and good...but how about something with a bit more utility? Piece of armor or weapon? Also feel they could have introduced a unique reward as per the Bandits in A2 to spice it up a bit, especially considering the gem rewards are regurgitated.

<3 The urban decay in the initial stages.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 The battleground and anything beyond it. <3 The blackguard and facing of actual armed, humanoid enemies. <3 The atmosphere of conflict between the BG and the GQ and her Ribbons. I would seriously like to see more of the Blackguard or other organized, armed forces later on.

Special mention to Piety's Temple (Lunaris I think? I get Solaris/Lunaris confused) and how messed up things go on a level to level basis, the tranquil first floor, the visibly disturbed and forboding second and the total madness that goes on at the bottom. Another thing I'd like to see more off later on - progressing decay / twists that add to the ambiance of dungeons as you go deeper.

In general, I have to say that bugs and the unsatisfied appetite left by the fact that what seems like the "final" dungeon has been left out aside (which is completely understandable considering the OB status, I'd much rather tackle it and Dominus in a finished state as it is) A3 is my favorite act so far and a very nice evolution from A2, which in turn was a very nice step up from A1. I really like how the areas seem to get more complex.

The map designs are a bit more confusing, but I think the story was very cool. Can't wait for act 4.

act3 feels like an entirely different difficulty compared to the other acts where there is a linear difficulty progression.

This. Seems like a3 cruel is MUCH more difficult than a1 merciless, even with the added resist penalties and higher mob levels. In fact, I was even having an easier time doing the medicine chest quest despite that area being 10 levels higher than the early parts of a3 cruel.

I've enjoyed all Acts, I think they got the variation in maps just right

In act 3, there was a rare monster in the solaris temple that was literally stronger than the bosses themselves. It was like a curtain and shot tons of fireballs. My fire resistance was at around 26%, and I was killed in a matter of seconds with tons of flask healing and granite flask too.

I love it, the only thing that annoy me is the fact that ebony leggionares and ribbons dont fight each other around the battleground map, it would make that part very much interesting, and also, show what is tell in the lore.

To be honest act 3 is my favorite part, the only thing I didn't really like is how easy Piety is; and also I usually get crappy drops for the entire act as well. Almost every build I've done its been a cake walk. Other than that I love the large map,s I love the mobs.
none the less I would still give it a 4/5

some maps from act 3 are so big compared with act 1 or 2 , they should reduce it a bit imo and it would be great . lunaris thematic is rly good anyweay despite the fact of lvl 3 which is way too big

Who is the actor that screamed and screamed and screamed in lunaris act 3? Or did you guys really torture a girl? *shakes fingers in a spookey manner*
