I’ll be the first to say it. The Pit of Heresy is awful.

1. No one likes invulnerable enemies. We as human seek to adapt and overcome things. The fact that we have to run away from these Pariah enemies not only showcase a lack of adaptation to find a means to kill them, but also highlights how weak the player is in general. That’s just sinful. 2. The insta-kill environment is atrocious. The third encounter surrounds you with spinning spiked pillars and hanging lanterns that look so down graded in graphics, I thought I was back in 2005 again. These traps and obstacles, much like the Pariah’s, have no means of overcoming except outright avoidance. There could’ve been enemies killed or levers activated to stop these obstacles from function, but no. Equally, many of the traps hit boxes are slightly larger than they appear. Learn a thing or two from Dark Souls. 3. Sword logic. Nothing is explained when using a hive sword. There is no sense or reasoning why certain attacks affect certain enemies. Why do hive wizards only take damage with the heavy attack? Why are the hive knights only hurt when using the light swings or super swing? Why do the shriekers only take damage from having it reflected back? They are all exposed enemies. They all look no different from the average enemies. Let the players kill them how THEY want to. It’s about as redundant and ridiculous as most raid encounters and weird mechanics put in place for “difficulty”. Stop forcing a one style play style. . I like the final boss of the dungeon and insta-masterworked loot at the end, but the rest is lack luster and forgettable.

  • I enjoy the encounter with all the jumping its a twist on the normal gameplay. But they definatly shouldve fixed the bug with the insta dying from switching encounters thats cancer .

    • The dungeon was great. Just wish it had it's own loot theme set.

      1. “No one”? You certainly don’t speak for me. I rather enjoyed the invulnerable enemies. It creates a cat-and-mouse chase. I really got a thrill out of the “Oh, crap! It saw me! RUN RUN RUN!”, moments. 2. That is my favorite part of the whole dungeon, except for the big drop through the spinning fan blade spiked logs. I can’t get down that hole with anything but luck. 3. Huh? If they explained it, we wouldn’t have had to figure out for ourselves how to solve the encounters. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed solving the sword logic mechanics without any hints. Solving novel problems is a joy, for me. So, I’m going to disagree with your assessment of the new dungeon. It’s fun, even despite its bugs (discussed at length in other posts). .

          • Only thing I hated about the dungeon is that it has zero armor and zero new guns besides what’s from altar.

          • "The dungeon was bad because I couldn't insta-kill everything I saw and I couldn't aim well enough to not hit a big spiky log" Maybe this game isn't for you. Encounters get boring when you can just blast every enemy with the same gear. Where you see "I don't like killing enemies with different types of sword swings", I think "Holy crap the new Hive sword is the father of the old Hive sword, Black Talon, and Radegast's artifact from D1". Learn to appreciate creativity

            • I only hate one thing about it: Why do Hive swords feel like twigs?
