The Haunted Forest exposes everything wrong with core PvE gameplay

First off, the Haunted Forest is by no means a bad activity on its own. But after one run through it this morning, I found myself more annoyed than anything else. This is because all the flaws that make the core PvE experience frustrating in D2 are prevalent in this activity: - tanky enemies/power delta - boss stomp mechanics that are ridiculous in range of effect, distance, and frequency - terrible heavy ammo drop rate - abundance of negative modifiers without positive modifiers to compensate - absolutely ludicrous respawn penalties (literally took me 1 min to catch up once) - navigation icon frequently pointing you in the completely wrong direction Fixing the core elements of PVE gameplay should be focused on sooner rather than later, as that makes ALL new and old PvE content more enjoyable. EDIT: For all the bad players who want to project and feel like they’re better than someone else at the game for once... I’ll clarify, I didn’t struggle with the activity and it isn’t hard by any means. My point is that the core gameplay in PvE (in the overall game, not just the Haunted Forest) is just annoying to play now.

  • Are you seriously having trouble in this activity? Bosses are hardly tanks until at least branch 10 even then you’re Probably using a well and swords (why wouldn’t you?) so you’re practically unkillable even with the stomps. The masks (which are required to wear btw) even give enhanced heavy drop rates, I rarely go below 30 ammo until like wave 11 or 12. Not gonna lie, this post just makes you look like a mediocre player looking to be angry at nothing tbh.
