REMOVE CAMPAIGN FOR ALTS (It's depressing)

If you've levelled more than once or a hundred times why bother complaining? If you hate levelling alts you would've quit PoE. If you find it tedious with a second or third character you can't hate it that much especially as the campaign has been a staple of PoE for a decade.

GGG aren't likely going to change it now, more so considering how much time and money they've spent on the forthcoming second campaign.

Just suck it up and keep playing.

I can't believe people would still argue against removing campaign

You're most welcome to go through campaign if you want to, but it shouldn't be mandatory for more than 1 time per league (just like lab trials)

I've been playing PoE for 10 years and in the earlier days when there wasn't much to do in endgame, I was fine with playing through the campaign over & over and trying out multiple builds every league.

But now - the endgame is everything! I no longer make more than 1-2 characters in a league just because how much of a time waste and obnoxious experience it is to go through a 10 act campaign every time. This discourages me from trying out any builds that are a different class, I'd rather spend 300 regret orbs to spec to a diff. ascendancy and build rather than spend hours in the campaign.
but why are you so bothered about removing campaign? It's just a bunch of maps to pass. Campaign can't be more boring than spamming 8000 crimson temple maps.
2nd and subsequent characters you are speedgaming through it, nowadays faster than ever as many low level uniques received huge buffs in patch 3.19.

there are worse cockblocks that have to be repeated each league - that is delve depth and heist rogue leveling. This is so bad that i just skip those mechanics completely because I can't be bothered to grind depth 400 before it becomes any sort of profit over regular alch and go mapping.

But let's assume GGG caves in and removes the campaign. You start at level 1 and can run scaled-down versions of maps, heists, delve, whatever. Happy now? Of course not, the next request will be skipping leveling and putting your alts at level 70 instantly. Because grinding 1-70 is boring, even more boring than campaign waaaah waaah. Then, while we're at it - why not extend this to level 95. Cos it's a waste of time and players just buy a 5way carry, right? So why bother leveling 70-95 on alts?

Players will never settle and will keep demanding more. And in this we'll be losing gameplay. Usually in games the most fun is derived from the path to a goal rather than post-goal. Once i have a headhunter and a wrecking ball build I play a few maps, fuck around some bosses and quit. Cos there is no goal anymore and i stop to have fun.

I do worry that poe2 will be the same problem, they will put so much work into it, just for it to be another thing that people are bored of the third time they do it already.

Fixed.


P.S. I +1 the original suggestion. Not sure on design details but yeah, make it stop plz.

some truth here, wouldn't stop with the story line and as much as this game does scare people away its never been in a better state and in PoE2 we'll get another campaign we can do to reach the endgame it'l be way less boring and after PoE2 perhaps they could work on alternatives to shake up the storyline?

Heres to hoping for the best.
