I'm sure there's more stuff I'm forgetting or repressing. 5k+ hours btw
A few more from the recesses of my brain (and friends reminding me):
Things I've dunked on my friends for doing:
Accidentally hitting the lich or sister when you dont know the first murmer making it take exponentially longer and getting them to tier 3 😭. Also bungling capture/kill at the end
Pain. Although the Lich system is so convoluted that it's hard to fault anyone for these kinds of mishaps.
Oh hell. I'm learning from your list that, while I may have thought that I was solidly in the mid game at this point, the rabbit hole goes ever deeper. I only vaguely recognize like half of the mechanics you've mentioned lol. If I didn't know better, I'd assume you were talking about some spin off title that I hadn't been aware of. Like how a Diablo player might feel if they accidentally wandered into a thread talking about Immortal.
It's incredible to me just how expansive the game is.
It only gets better. 120-ish hours is where I'd expect the game to start really opening up for you, assuming you've been making progress on the star chart and mastery ranks. 😄
As you can tell, there are many foot-guns and opportunity costs in this game. If you aren't playing under someone else's guidance, I recommend finding a mentor, else you risk making the same expensive mistakes that I (and many others) have made.
You're probably right. I've been avoiding getting into the weeds on stuff with this game, because that's been a barrier that I've bounced off of and out of the game many a time previously. I want to drink from the fire hose, but ultimately it becomes overwhelming and I cease to enjoy the experience while becoming hyper aware of the grind. However, you're correct to counsel that it would be just as disappointing to "waste" hours worth of effort on a suboptimal outcome due to ignorance.
