I gave PD2's Season 2 release a shot, & here's how it went:
• Servers weren't stress tested prior to launch, so naturally the game was nearly entirely unplayable for most ppl for the first ~12+hours after launch. And if you did endure the painstaking grind in the first day you did so by having your character progression reset with every server crash. For most ppl the game was just an Act 1 simulator for the first day, & only a few ppl were actually able to play & progress (Viva la leaderboards)
• The mod was absolutely riddled with game-breaking bugs that were bricking people's characters. After enduring ~2 days of server crashing bullshit I finally got my Trapsin to lvl 70 or so, only to encounter a bug that reverted her to lvl 0, bricking the character & losing all my items
• You have to retrieve your corpse after you die, which is arguably the dumbest feature in the history of the ARPG genre
• To this very day the game is still plagued with server issues. I've yet to have a single play session that wasn't halted by server resets & crashes
• A lot of builds feel like absolute dogwater to play once you reach Hell if you don't have endgame gear ready to go
