It's so BORING to do storyline all over again

+1 please add power leveling to the game accessible to players which have completed a1-10

And disable it for races so people can't abuse the mechanics

can you move to the last area in the fifth act with a lvl 1 charachter then if you wish to?


Yes if you have done the story at least one time. Then all your new caract can go in any area.

This is the most stupid thread ever, OP doesn't like to do the storyline over and over again for every character. He just likes to play maps over and over and over again forever.

The story part is the best thing in the game.

Having played D3 story through a couple of times, and then playing Adventure mode forever thereafter......I am not entirely sure that is an improvement. It is horribly boring. It is literally the equivalent of mapping from level 1 and it is hideous.

On the other hand, I am not the biggest fan of the new 10 acts either. There are some terrible new zones in the 5+ areas: control blocks, city square, reliquary (ugh). Yeah, I hate acts 5 and 10. And making us do Dread Thicket? Bitch, please!

I actually preferred the old school 4 x 3 with increasing difficulty.

I don't have an elegant solution in mind. This is an ARPG after all, grindy as all get out, so you have to take the leveling process with the end game, that is just the nature of the game. Without a leveling process, how do you know how your build is constructed and plays? I get that we have played dozens of builds through to end game over the years........

Ultimately, this is what happens when a game lasts in popularity for years - difficult to keep things fresh. They tried with the new Acts at least.

I agree that the most enjoyable pace of the game is going through the acts and doing the quests for something other then loot. It is fairly easy to run through the game and remain a few levels ahead of the area. the constant change of scenery makes it fun an interesting.

Sure there are some areas that are more tedious then others, and i get frustrated when i miss the small turn off resulting in back tracking, but overall the pacing is right.

Doing an area over and over like maps from level 1 seems silly , and it wouldn't help you see character flaws early. running the areas helps you learn that most are just a square anyways.

Thank you. That sounds pretty good. Maybe something for this game one day.
Totally agree with OP.
Not needing all the leveling uniques would free up my stash nicely.
Keep the thread alive.
So, new patch, new league and nothing has changed.

I bumb up my topic once again with the same question: why would anyone think that doing the same borying story quests (take that bring that) involves Fun? I think that doing obligatory storyline is rudimental thing in modern grind-based videogame.

Not to mention that actually storyline in PoE is not exciting at all, you can do it one time, but doing same thing with every char (along with labirynth of course) is exceptionally bad idea.

Dumb suggestion.

As for the OP. I strongly agree on the issue. Even if it was once per different character (like one of each class has to go through story) per league it would still be better 100x times now than it is right now.

But hell, I'd rather start maps from level 1 already considering I played so many times through campaign it's just painfully boring to grind through.

Unless there's grrilion upvotes on a reddit thread about it, devs will not even consider it.

I've been hesitant to buy new supporter packs because I don't feel like playing this game as much anymore. I could endure the acts before so I could experiment with new builds and characters - that's where the fun is for me. But at some point it just became too tedious to even attempt and I find a cookie cutter build and go with that until I get bored of game.

Now I spend more time theorycrafting in PoB than playing the game.

Until I can skip acts straight in to mapping with level 1 char, I don't think I'll be that creative with builds in the game which gives less initiative for me to buy packs due to less amount of time being spent in the game playing.


I can understand the issue, after thoudsand of hours in poe. But at the same time i dont think there is a solution to this i would like. I dont want a char handed to me at lvl 60, or anything like that.

I usely play with a friend though. That makes it easier. Allso the thought of seeing the result of my theory crafting motivates me most times.
