I guess I'm gonna pass on this game. If the devs don't test it or try to balance the difficulty, then I'm not gonna waste my time with pointless frustration.
This is probably one of those games where you constantly alt tab to check a website, I hate that.
That's actually no longer the case. During EA, there were so many random sudden encounter with no warnings, or very minimal unnoticeable warning. One of the hardest fight was actually an ambush with insane range and the boss having a very powerful source skill.
This has been toned down heavily.
In Act 1 alone
The ambush range has been nerfed. If you proceed with caution, you can even see the enemy first especially if you hold the "Line of Sight" detection.
In one of the key fight of Act 1, they even start talking about how something might join them if they keep fighting.
Both of the ambush warned ahead of time.
Even in Act 2, so far, every ambush will have your char say something like
"What a great location for an ambush!"
Or how the quest dialogue is so obvious if you do it, ambush will happen.
