This game is incredibly good. It's everything Diablo 3 should have been.

Yep. Just started playing it. It's like Diablo 2 with materia from FF7. Perfection.

This is exactly how I describe it to people. I've been playing since closed beta and put more than 1000 hours into it, still can't beat all the end game content (in a good way)

Inability to zoom out more kills it for me. Feels too much like diablo 2 at 800x600

If you adjust the aspect radio by playing in windowed mode and keeping it full-width while lowering the height, you gain significantly more visibility. I imagine playing on an ultrawide display would have a similar effect.
Granted, it wasn't built to support a zoomed out camera so some controls behave poorly at the outer edges of visibility.

One of biggest downside of that game for me.
Fortunatelly at least few years ago there was publicly available zoom hack that obviously will get your account banned, but it's not something I would care about in F2P game like ever.
