I dont think so felt fine to me. At the start of D2. Only thing that felt right about the game. But that said I can see what they mean about wanting things to feel meaningful and making you want to weigh what to power up. But that's not the way. Not at all. And honestly if they had a. Better armor system. With better perks . And systems set up in game. That would not be a issue. Honestly the economy was looking nice at the end of d1. They should have just grown it fro. There. Infusing armor and the prices for mateials.breaking armor down everything . Felt on track not on point but headed in a good place.
