Early Access Feedback - SECONDARY CHARACTER SKIPPING THE CAMPAIGN OR SOMETHING SIMILAR - Forum

This mode lets you enter mapping right from level 1 and you can do low level maps in order to proceed. You can get all the boons from the campaign (like +30 spirit) within these maps by defeating the bosses you would have encountered during campaign. The difference is ofc, that I dont have to hassle with the campaign specific quests, which often require to backtrack or do certain action and that feels like a waste of time if you've done it already. This way, I can jump right into the action without caring for NPC dialogues or quests. This could be very nice!	Posted by acbx#4314 on Dec 12, 2024, 3:11:12 PM Quote this Post
Oh man I remember making this thread before POE2 went into early access. I stuck around and defended the points I was making for 8-9 days. Here is the thread if you want to wade through a few pages of "LOL GO PLAY D4" there are actually some good points in there somewhere. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3587909 IGN : Reamus	Posted by Andromansis#4714 on Dec 12, 2024, 3:48:55 PM Quote this Post

As far as I remember, I was always able to finish Act 3 by killing Piety. Dominus was introduced later within act 3. But maybe I remember wrong.

This never happened in PoE 1 despite a lot of pressure from players. Which means it will never hapen in PoE 2 either. Their "solution" is "tO mAkE tHe CaMpAiGn MoRe InTeReStInG aNd ReWaRdInG sO iT dOeSn'T fEeL lIkE a ChOrE". Never mind that I stopped playing WoW precisely because I couldn't be bothered to relevel 10 characters each expansion. I was only interested in the endgame, as I am in PoE. You can't make a campaign more "interesting" to me. After second or third time it will always be a chore. The only reason I'm willing to do the chore once or twice per league is because, unlike WoW, the endgame of PoE stimulates my dopamine centers better than cocaine. Ascend with precision.

My only improvement that I would like is the stat unlocks like spirit/resistance be account wide after doing them once. I'm on my 5th alt now (multiple 65+ characters, cruel completed 3 times now). If I didn't have to hunt down these stat boosts on every character I could probably shave a couple hours off my 1-65 time (~13 hours now)	Posted by MadMossy#1934 on Dec 12, 2024, 4:42:24 PM Quote this Post
I absolutely agree, once an account unlocks atlas, secondary characters shouldnt have to do story. make waypoints account wide and let us go level freely in story zones and do the passive point bosses and such. I offered you the gift of exile and you used it to reinvent yourself. I couldn't wish for a more potent instrument.	Posted by Basiq#2781 on Dec 13, 2024, 4:07:29 PM Quote this Post
