Option to bypass the main campaign and go straight to maps!

I've been playing POE for a while. Started on PS4, then moved to PC and haven't looked back, but frankly I'm bored.

I'm bored of going through the same campaign time and time again just to get to what I'm really interested in... maps!

Devs please consider an option that will let a user just bypass the story if they have played it before. In all the updates, that part has never changed. That's fine but having to go through the story time and time again, I loose interest in POE very quickly after a long time playing it.

Even if it's a thing like a second character can be granted that option, or if it's a $5 pass to do that, I'll be all in.

Just something to bypass the campaign, and then when starting at the end game, I get say 50 or 60 points to spend to level up my character how I want. Don't even have to include any ascendancies. I'd happily go back and get those myself.

Again, I would just like an option to just get pass the campaign. This would change my entire outlook on playing POE more.


Something to consider.

Would anyone else who have played this game for a long time be interested in something like this?

Absolutely. If you have been playing the game for a few years, the main campaign gets boring, even when speed playing.

The initial run-through is more than understandable, but after that it becomes tedious. If no real changes are going to be made to the story mode, then they should let people fast forward on the second character and on.

yes.

after playing the tutorial hundreds of times, Im sick and tired of it.
the acts are the very thing thats keeping me from playing like 10 characters each league

having some campaign mapping - where you play maps of act 1 until you somehow unlock act one boss fight, and so forth for the other acts - would be great.

I dont really want to waste two days getting to the part of the game I spend weeks playing.

I have played that content more than enough times and given more than enough money - so let me not do it yet again. And no, I don't care if there is a method to do in 4 hours - most wont do it in 4 hours and a campaign mapping system would be a fun alternative for those people.

Same here.

Would I want it? Yes.

Is there any chance whatsoever that we will ever get this? No.

Excellent idea if its gated by real world currency otherwise it's gameplay suicide

$10 dollars to skip campaign after the first character has reached maps should satisfy everyone

They could even price it at $20.99

Think about it like this, to those genuinely who have no time, now there's an option

To those who don't require it, they will be ok with it knowing it's been price gated.

Here is an interesting thought on this: since there is the various npcs why not give them each something like bounties/quests to do and we go to the zone via a waypoint to do their task and maybe for doing all the tasks like this in an act there is some kind of reward of some kind? Maybe we could get some exclusive random maps that way.
