What do you think of Act 3?

It might just be the change in art design from a1/a2 but i dread having to clear this act so i can proceed with the game.

Here's what I learned from playing act 3 normal: After you do enough quests, you'll get keys which give you access to the sewers. Why is that good? The sewers are in every zone in act 3 and you can travel the entire city through them. Carrion bugs and queen too difficult to deal with? Travel underground!

Very True haha

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.

Yeah, having fought a group of both at the same time I was very confused when I was told they were at war with each other.

I think maps reset far too quickly for Act 3, it's really aggravating given their size. Other than that I had no complaints, but I got lucky with my trip through Lunaris 3 and managed to almost beeline to Piety with very few wrong turns.

Please put waypoints near entrances to new areas.. Especially Lunaris Temple level 2. I don't feel like trying to run by Grievous (especially since I already killed the A-hole), then go through two more entire areas to get to the waypoint. I know people say enjoy the farming.. If I want to farm.. I will farm.. thanks...

People will also say.. "That is to keep you from farming bosses easily"... well, then if you have already killed a major boss, don't let them re-spawn.. put in some random lesser-boss.

Act 3 is the worst of the released acts. I really enjoy Act 1 and I like Act 2. When I am in Act 3 I just want to get it over with.

^^ This.

Thread necromancy.

The left half of the map of act 2 and the first parts of act 3 are pretty empty. Everything from River Crossings through the main Vaal ruin smells like filler.

What is the point of Waterfall Cave and Pools and Streams? Is it to hide that GGG couldn't render "Lorrata" or a free-standing pyramid?

When a 'Spectral Occultist' is a ghost pirate with a wand, you are dealing with filler.

Sarn Slums is ugly, big (you basically have to clear it twice) and has nothing but annoying monsters; it is my least favorite zone by far.

Also, the second leg of Prisoner's Gate makes it too long a slog through goatmen; I'm always thrilled to see it finally come to an end.

And why 2 temple sections? Reskinning the tileset was just easier?

Act 1 is by far the densest and most interesting section, even though it has its repeats, too.

I find a fair amount of act 3 to be slightly disappointing. Mostly because I find that kind of environment to be done to death. I especially disliked Lunaris Temple 3. It is just such a silly zone and badly in need of a corpse janitor.
It's also kind of weird that Piety just lets all of her miscreations run amok where she works. That doesn't seem like it'd be very akin to a productive work environment.

Act 3 isn't done yet.

As others have noted, the waypoints in act3 are problematic... I'm just glad I have two computers and two accounts so I can give myself wp's in act3 when I have new characters, because having what I look for be in the very last place I explore _every_ time gets annoying.

(Love the wp move to outside catacombs though btw, keep that one and the one outside the crematorium...)
