It's so BORING to do storyline all over again

Agree. And it was a shame that this system was released at the same time than Reaper of Souls and its very well designed Act5... that I only completed once because adventure mode was far more efficient to level up and seasons are too short to play in less efficient ways.
That's one of the reasons why I quit D3 at the end of season 2. So no, really don't want this to happen with PoE.

I feel like a lot of people dont know what they are asking for.

Next, people would probably ask for instant lvl 60 chars with completed atlas, because otherwise it is "the same all over again".

Then they would realize endgame too is the same over and over again again.

I can understand the problem tho. This is why i dont level more than one char a league. Only difference is - i dont see it as bad gamedesign - i am even happy because then i can finally play those other games that are piling up.

You said it yourself. D2 had a fucking good campaign. PoE basically has 5 Acts doubled upon each other. It's not bad even, but anything after a certain number of times gets old very fast.

Devs need to realize most of us don't have anything against the campaign, until we play it again and again. To make matters worse, skill points and respecs are hidden behind some tedious quests, and I can't remember which ones. Let us level to 70 without story please.

You can literally type /passives into chat and it will tell you which quests you need to do to get skill points.

Then you can click on that quest from the portal menu and it will literally light up the path you need to follow to complete that quest.

You really use the "I can't remember" excuse after complaining that you've done it too many times?

Edit

I'm sorry but if you cannot spend a day or two (for non speedrunners) to get through act 1-10 then maybe the game isn't for you. The moment ppl start suggesting adding stuff like d3 adventure mode, instant-leveled characters or other stupid bypasses this would down the trash can along with d3 if the devs listened to it.

one of the best things that Diablo 3 has done is do away with the need to do the campaign to level up

that adding of the adventure mode (and rifts) really made things a lot less tedious

i do hope that PoE has its version of that but given that so many things are linked to doing the quests in campaign i don't really know how they are gonna do it

then again we never thought they would figure out how to make a maps tab work but they did so fingers crossed

hate leveling. i never try builds i want cause i dont want boring lvling again. :( same reason for years.

What did you do before the new acts? Now, that was boring doing same stuff over and over 3x. We were used to it but the new acts with one pass through is so much less boring.

You might also realize PoE ripped this off Diablo 3. D3 had the normal, NM, hell and inferno difficulties before streamlining them into one playthrough.

I think people need to be more objective when it comes to improvements. Sure, D3 isn't the game many hoped for, but it's not all crash and burn. Just because D3 has a feature, doesn't mean that feature is bad. Some people played D3 once in 2012, hated it and left, and continued to slag it for the next 5 years without knowing what has been going on.
