Act 3 town, no waypoint?

This can't be intentional can it? I just got to act 3, I'm in town (Zigaraut) and it doesn't have a waypoint when I get there? I wanted to go to bed, I get to the new act and I don't want to run through the marshes again or whatever, but town doesn't have a waypoint? Seriously?

Do I have to do this "drain the lake" quest to get a waypoint here? What gives?

It's in the far south east corner

Not on normal it isn't. I went to help a lobbie friend and I had to go clear the jungle just to find a waypoint to get back to my hideout. If it's there it is not where is t is on cruel.

Please prove me wrong.

This seems like a big oversight.

If you are in the A3 town with the "spoiler-free device" open, but you haven't started Cruel yet, you can go through it to get a waypoint on the other side. There's no waypoint in the town itself at this point (it is removed for some reason).

But when you start Cruel, instead of bringing you to a waypoint it brings you to the A1 beach instead and the original waypoint is not restored.

So, as a result, if you end up back in the A3 town with cruel started, you need to go find a waypoint elsewhere; either clearing a map attached to the town or clearing the A1 beach again.

Yeah this is annoying. I finished act 3 went through the portal to the river bank and then cleared the river bank and got into Clearfell. Decided to call it for the night and I logged back in and now I'm in act 3 again. There is no WP remaining in act 3 normal and taking the time portal takes me to the riverbank.

Using a TP at the riverbank took me back to act 3 normal.

You can also use someone as a proxy to TP to their hdieout and from there you can TP anywhere you wanted to. That's quite troublesome and annoying, just like the rest of the game in comparison to POE 1. It's like the devs were searching for ways to make things annoying (like not being able to swap ascendancy class even if you did something by accident)

GGG wasting everyone's time. Act 3 town layout is terrible. Everything you need to interact with is as far as possible from everything else.

When you are finally at the endgame the waystone for act 3 normal is back but the city waystone for act 3 cruel stays gone so you always have to go to a waystone like infested barrens and then use your portal to get there.

The Act 3 town becomes buggy because Acts 4-6 are not complete. The game is not meant to use Act 3 as an endgame area and waypoints and such are likely temporarily mapped strangely to allow Cruel difficulty to play as an endgame. If this is not the only limited factor, then sure, some cleanup needs to be done. No reason to change the functionality of the Act 3 town. It is very annoying not being able to get to the town to sell your statues or access your hideout from the town if you revisit it.
