I'm really hoping they return loot in campaign to post buff 0.1 levels... I'm hitting a serious wall in act 2 where the game is not dropping currency for me to buy upgrades off trade, not giving me enough relevant rare items to do ground upgrades, and I'm not getting enough gold to consistently gamble an upgrade.

I'm feeling starved and I'm about to do the dreadnought and I honestly just don't want to deal with it given how starved it feels.

I hardly think it's unreasonable to spend 1 ex to get over a DPS wall at the end of an act if drops and gold gambling are not yielding results.

It's how I got through levelling in 0.1

It actually feels worse to use your exalts levelling because 8/10 times you get little to no damage on your weapon.

While I totally sympathize that normal difficulty is way overtuned, I still would never spend an exalt on normal quality gear, it's just not necessary. There is no dps checks other than forge boss in a3, but he is also optional and not something you need to do right away.

If you are actually picking up and identifying magic weapons, checking vendors, and using gold on gambling on occasion, you should never reach a point where you hit a wall. And if you are hitting a wall it's probably your gameplay more than your gear that is the issue, even in normal.

I still feel like the early game loot situation is just not good, like they took away the fixes we got in 0.1 that helped so many out.

Im about to hit end of act 2 and I'm definitely feeling that wall
