Yeah, have been playing it with a friend all the weekends since it got released. Sure is lots of fun, but some things start to get really annoying as fuck once you get to the last difficulty (to some extent even on the 2nd difficulty). Especially that on the last difficulty you simply dont feel at all like youre being rewarded for playing it. It is quite difficult, everything takes way more time (there isnt the situation like in D3 where you faceroll highest difficulty after 6 hours of gameplay and are virtually unkillable/kill everything in 1 second max), and then you get the same (well, worse when you account for the increased time) drop as on the second difficulty. It really is way more efficient to just farm elite rather than ultimate, which is sad. Also the poison/acid/bleeding damage is way over the top, especially on ultimate. Those resists arent easy to get, and even if you have solid resists on those, you get one DoT on you and are most likely simply dead, cant do shit about it. Then there are some random oneshots here and there and you have no idea what it was that killed you, but that doesnt happen often enough to really be annoying.
The rest of the game is really fun tho. Especially the feeling like theres still stuff to improve on your char, and that the game never really gets piss easy. And as you said, anyone who liked titan quest should feel right at home (well, it is pretty much titan quest with different textures).
If they doubled droprate on ultimate and looked into some of the ridiculous DoTs and made playing melee characters viable past elite then it would be almost flawless.
