Still hanging in there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />. I believe the solution was to simply get out of the BF and only get back there to trade/repair. Now I'm running around the imp village and having much more fun.

I wonder whether I'll miss anything important in these BFs. If what I saw in the Act I BFs is relevant to what is to come, there were no important items, just a few more chances at the chests/barrels lottery. Won't I miss things like keys needed in the mainland, summoning dolls, good unique named items, etc., if I skip the BF dungeons from act II onwards?
