Shadow of war ACT IV is a slap in the face.

I am huge fan of the first game and had pre-ordered the second game.

I started the game on the day of the release and last night finally made it to ACT IV. I was level 44, full legendary gear 44+ gear, had all the collectibles, challenges completed, pit fights completed, with all 4 maps under my control with some of my best legendary orcs as warchief and overlords.

Long story short, I am 57% into the AVT IV and now the Orcs that are attacking my base are level 55+. As the battle starts, I get hit by a Graugs's thrown fireball, and as I am trying to get up I get hit again and all the sudden I am dead (no second chance no nothing). I lose to fort plus my warchiefs and the overlord which I had spent hours perfecting and had even used some consumable from the chests on them.

So I am back at square one needing to go through the same process to now capture a fort with level 55 warchiefs and level 58 overlord while I am still stuck on level 46 even with using XP boosters.

I love the nemesis system and everything about it. But dying to a fireball right after spawning on the top of the wall is complete bullshit. The game doesn't respect your time and effort. The overlord that I had in that fort was my champion from the pitfights and it had very little weakness (He was perfected through hours of grind) . And all the sudden he is dead along his warchiefes because I got a cheap death.

Last but not least, gaining XP after Act 4 seems to be a huge grind with no more story XP. I cannot imagine how many hours it take to go from level 46 to Level 60 in Act IV...
