Did you like the gameplay in the main game?
This DLC is basically an extension of that; the story is practically nonexistent; actually, there is a story, but it’s presented very briefly and with a production value similar to the “Fate” episodes in the base game. There are new bosses, but very few; most of the time, you’ll be fighting (over and over and over) harder versions of the old bosses. The time required to farm masteries and materials is incredibly long; the new roguelike mode is cool and speeds up material collection a bit (unfortunately, it doesn’t give any EXP—WTF?), but there aren’t many different “rooms,” and, once again, it ends up becoming tedious; in terms of character building, we’re still stuck equipping our characters with damage-cap runes, and not even the new master trait system changes that, though it can offer some variations to the characters’ playstyles; by the way, the new characters are cool, but getting them to the endgame is such a hassle that I gave up on playing them.
To give you an idea of how long the grinding takes: when I started the DLC, I had 35 hours of playtime on my save file and had completed one-third of the missions on “Proud” difficulty. To start the DLC, you have to finish all of them, and at that point, I only had access to the first three levels of the roguelike to speed up the process. It took me between 15 and 20 hours to actually start the DLC, and I can assure you that this kind of repetition is common throughout the entire DLC, Then you'll face the later bosses, and even if your characters have the power of the recommended level (or higher), the fights will be an eternity because the bosses have an absurd amount of health.
I just can't understand why a single-player PVE game has to be this repetitive; this is a level of boredom you'd expect from a multiplayer game, and it's a shame, because the gameplay is good, but it can't withstand that much repetition.
