Skipping the Campaign - Please

No, sorry, go back to Diablo. Campaign is essential part of your character journey.

Most of us (including me) are parents, have jobs, or go to colledge, so that is not an argument.

I've never understood these complaints.

The campaign is the game? If you don't like the campaign, what do you even like about path of exile? The game is "move forward while killing things." The campaign is literally a long series of maps chained together for you.


Man... you are in for a rude awakening. Devs have pretty much said endgame is the game since that is where they admitted people need to get in order to stay. It is also where most new content will likely have an effected. The game will have the same gameplay loop as PoE1

So what's your plan when you die on your maps and run out of waystones?


Doryani sells infinite t1 waystones for 5k gold each. You can also just buy more from the trade site.


So you're going to, one way or another, run the campaign in order to play the next character. Whether it be by bringing it back to farm, or by farming with the "thing you hate" in order to do everything possible to avoid playing the campaign on the second character.

You know what ggg? Make an MTX to skip the campaign, make it like $20. People don't want to play through it? There's the answer. Make some money off these people.

Wut? What you're saying makes no sense. If campaign skip exists after your first char gets to maps every league, you'll have like 500k or even a million+ gold by then. Probably 20 mil if you actually farm a lot of T16s. Your map tab will be full of waystones of all tiers, so sustaining them will be a joke. You would just start blasting low-tier maps on your new char and that's it, you would never be out of maps because you've already farmed a lot of them on your first char.

Like I wouldn't just make a build to "speedrun" the campaign on leaguestart, that's ridiculous. You need currency and gear to do that. I'd just play my leaguestarter then try out other builds by skipping campaign. That's what most people would use this feature for.

You want to 'skip' the campaign. So you either want maps to scale down to your level, or you want to be raised to map level immediately.

If you want maps to scale down to your level, you want a rework of the entire game system from maps onwards to accomidate that shift in power for the early portions of your play, which means they'd have to remove some things, assumedly, and make other things more sparse. This sounds like...this sounds like just doing a campaign.

The difference is you want to take out the "search for the entrance to the next area" in exchange for "find the boss and get out", no?

so in essence...you want a campaign difficulty mode for maps?

so...they have that.

it's the campaign.

How's $20 sound per character to skip the campaign and be brought to your hideout at level 1? Reasonable?

Dude I've never said any of those things. I just wanna skip it after I've done it the first time each league. Stop trying to read into it so much. And they would never put anything that changes gameplay into the mtx shop, so that's not happening lol

Let me make this more clear for you, since you're not understanding:

How do you want to skip it? Do you want to just be level 1 and campaign done, do you want to be levelled straight to map level, or what?

The ability to skip it after you've done it once in a league. That's it. Instant lvl70 character with all skill points and maybe 6 ascendancy points after the skip.

Okay, first thing: That's hillarious.

Now then..

Consider the following: A service gets created in which players can RMT the completion objectives of each act, just by taking portals of a paid party member, one shotting those objectives, and rushing them through the campaign.

That RMT paid partymember now gets said client to the endgame, and because they have 'done' the campaign, they now have unlocked this 'campaign skip', allowing them to make level 70 characters of any class, with 6 ascendancy points, at will.

No, the campaign is the chore you do before getting to the real game. It is not the game. The endgame mapping system is 99% of the game. That is a fact.


you... don't think the campaign is the game? i'm sorry but i think you're playing the wrong game
