I've heard it is essentially Diablo but with a gigantic FF10-esque grid for stats and abilities that basically overwhelms you like a fat-man overwhelms a personal pan pizza.

Use a guide. It'll help you learn the grid and get shit done. It's not that overwhelming once you understand the game, but it sucks at teaching you things and the community is incredibly stubborn about agreeing to add missing features.

Yeah the skill grid is nothing. It's fake complexity.

It's all the unexplained mechanics and interactions you have to go to wikis to find out. Then the league mechanics compounding ontop of each other.

This too. There's several years of mechanics that just got added on top of one another. You'll find a LOT of stuff that makes zero sense without context, like Penderus coins.

Its very overwhelming at first but dont let that stop you because it has so much depth that feeling overwhelmed is just part of it. It kind of holds the game back because its hard to play casually and can be scary at firs but if you use a build guide to get started you will figure things out. The skill tree isnt as complicated as it seems.

Its an amazing game by even more amazing developers.

I played a solid 8 hours of it then deleted from my pc.

I would have preferred to pay $20 and have all that f2p gimmick nonsense removed from the game.

Playing without premium stash is a terrible experience and every league they add more currency to sell more stash tabs.

Just seeing it in a game menue is an impact, hence why I prefer to pay for a game than deal with f2p crappy structure.

I've played it since it released on PS4 and no matter how strong your build is the lag and desyncing in the endgame maps will always get you killed especially if you're playing with friends. I stopped playing because it's very poorly optimised.
