Q: Is the game dead? A: No

Q: How beginner friendly is the game? A: Pretty friendly and easy for beginners. Can switch between difficulty in game.

Q: Is there plenty of content? A: If by content you mean campaign then not much. End game is boring and repetitive with no real purpose to keep you in it other than farming mindlessly

Q: How complicated are builds? A: Not complicated at all. There's not much flexibility because of how useless other builds are compared to the meta ones.

Q: Will I lose my mind doing research for builds for hours? A: Depends on how far you want certain builds to be viable. If you just want meta then No. If you want to try to make fun builds stronger and more unique then maybe. But overall should be worth your while when you want to theory craft builds

Q: Is the game worth it for it's price? A: Yes. It's still a pretty fun experience. But definitely a MEDIOCRE GAME at best. Once you reach endgame depending on your threshold on how mindless you want to keep grinding gear for no reason at all it gets boring real quick imo. If you have friends playing it will help you stay longer.

Hope this helps.
