Vaal temple is extremely boring and just bad for the game

Vaal temple adds a lot of time to first campaign play through. Yes it power creeps you but that can happen without the time sink of the temple.

You can upgrade gear in the temple but you cant TP out to get gear you want to upgrade? Extremely poor game design. I went to town to get something that could be a potential upgrade to come back to a temple I couldnt run. Not that I want to run it but it offers too much power creep that its still worth to run sadly.

Please fix these easy stuff.. You shouldnt even need feedback for stuff like this.

There's the stash in vaal ruins right before you enter the temple, you can go back n forth to grab anything you want to upgrade.
Thanks for clarifying. Key word being before you enter the temple though. Theres the huge flaw at least in the campaign for a noob like me. Dont know how this is in the endgame

Stash is there during campaign too, left of temple's console to avoid the town travel probably.
Just checked because i'm levelling another character.
