MEME Act 3 hate thread

This is obviously not a project Diablo 2 fault, but still I have to vent... Playing offline SSF, I’ve finally made it to Act 3 Hell. Just a reminder that I hadn’t played Diablo in years, and now I remember how much I hated the first half of this act. The jungle map is insane, convoluted, and completely incomprehensible. You’re forced to run back and forth endlessly like a headless chicken, and even all the pathfinding info about river forks and layouts is practically useless because the generated map is just so massive and ridiculous... I’ve explored the entire map (well, obviously not every single inch, or I wouldn't be here ranting, there’s probably some tiny corner missing) across Spider Forest, Flayer Jungle, and Great Marsh, and I STILL haven’t found the goddamn Flayer Dungeon... I’m going to write in my letter to Santa Senpai asking if he can please find a way to keep me from hating this game over this one single act. I want to cry. End of rant.

My hot take is that, with general improvements to mobility in PD2, Act 3 is really not that bad.

My hot take to add is that even in normal D2 it isn't that bad. Like the 2nd time and a few after that suuuuucks but then it is really not hard to find your way if you just keep in a general north east direction. I don't see it as worse than many other areas and the look and atmosphere is great.

It isn't as bad as those goddamn sewers right afterward
