Losing the pyramids is the pits. You don't get them until well into act 2 and then you only have them for an act and 1/2. Does anyone know when you get them back again?
In act 1, I cut the treks back and forth in half by exiting the BF and re-entering when my inventory was full. That set me by the vendors. Then I'd take the long walk to the BF. But that long walk was relatively short compared to the ones in Act 3. I'm not looking forward to the boring BFs in Act 4 either.
