Diablo 3 is fundamentally broken

[Roland]

Patch isn't up in Europe yet, so I can't comment on whether or not the new costs are too high for me, but the previous cost barely amounted to a speed bump, let alone a "harsh" penalty.

I lost 20k in 10 minutes trying to advance my character in Act II. Got a piss-poor Champ pack (Jailer & Waller, forget the rest) on snakes. Died 3 times - 12k repairs. Rerolled area, next try got an Elite snake pack (Extra Health / Reflects Damage / Molten / ???). Died a couple more times. Another 8k down the drain. Gave up and went back to Act I.

'Course, it doesn't help that the elites are about 100 feet from the WP, and there's literally no room to maneuver. Oh, and Moonseeds are still bullshit overpowered. They alone used to one-shot me from full health. Haven't tested them now, but they hurt like a bitch when you get Jailed next to one (died from about 20% health).
