Just let us do maps without having to beat cruel?

Game is not finished, and they should really just call it "Beta" instead of "Early Access", which would make things more straight-forward, as it seems that there is plenty of people treating it as a complete game or "almost" complete game, which is not the case since at least half of the game is missing.

Early Access means Beta or earlier, that is it's original and most common meaning.

This "Early Access" is not a traditional early access, where you just get to play the final game a few days or few weeks before the public release - it is literally paid access to beta in a traditional meaning.

No, it is 100% traditional early access.

Just because Blizzard decided to sell morons a few days of early play and call it early access does not change what early access actually means.

It's beta, great argument and I agree, a great time to test level scaling at level 35 and see how well it works before official release, I'm glad we agree ;)

Seriously the arguments against this are really pleb though, lets get some amens, or at least a VALID argument not to do this. All I am hearing is ''WELL WE GRINDED THE CAMPAIGN SO YOU HAVE TO TOOO!!"

Come up with a valid argument against this or quit trolling my thread please.

Do devs even read this stuff? Whats the point of this forum, besides having to make cases against trolls?

This is supposed to be a place to give feedback. Unfortunately it's more commonly used as a place to bitch, whine, complain and give the dumbest ideas a player can come up with because they have no clue how games actually work and what makes them enjoyable in the long run.

They are planning on having 12 classes for this game?! I for one don't think it's in my to go through the campaign for EACH class, even if I only want to play 3 classes?! The campaign is a good tutorial, but after that its just boring, let us just do randomly generated areas / quests/bosses etc.

I would even go as far as to say let us start mapping at level 1 with another character once we beat the campaign on act 3 of another character!

I have faith that the devs can balance this, and the time do add this is NOW, not later, the sooner they implement this the easier it's going to be for them.

Maps are just a way to do the same thing we are doing, kill stuff, level up, get items, just in a less restricted context.

Again, we have to REALLY focus on that outside of the box thinking :P Even diablo 3 did this ( now I am not saying we should start copying diablo 3) but ths is a progressive idea that even they managed to implement, you could skip campaign and just do ''random'' mode. You don't want POE2 to be outdone by diablo 3 do you!? ( I joke of course)

Moderators do. Devs, I think, went for well-deserved holidays. That's the only sensible way to explain the (mostly) lack of any response. I trust they will return to cooking next year.

It doesn't have to be ''maps'' call it whatever you want, it can be 'adventure mode' until we are a high enough level to do maps, and If we want to do maps at level 50, or 55, or what have you then let us do so. There is no better time to test something like this than beta, and these devs pride themselves on giving us the ability to play the way WE want to, build our builds how we want, etc. This is supposed to be next gen diablo hack and slash style game, so why are we doing some linear campaign like it's 2000 ?

I'm just already sick of the campaign and think we deserve 'random mode' or call it whatever you will, random areas with random bosses, etc. Since they already HAVE map mode it would simply be monster level scaling ( a VERY common thing in action RPGs like this, they already have a level scaling system) So we should be able to do something like this, even at level 1 and on. I'm sorry you don't want this game to be better, but some of us do!

Yeah I'm sure the devs have a headache and needed a break =D but at the same time game is not balanced, 'crafting' isnt fun, and campaign is boring and we NEED some kind of early level 'random mode' or 'adventure mode' or open up maps sooner or SOMETHING, the campaign is good ONE time, after that other alts need to play a different way. Many other hack and slash rpgs nave done this. And POE2 is supposed to be the next gen raise the bar diablo ARPG, and we are stuck doing the campaign for every character we make until level 65? No, that's terrible, I won't let the devs make such a mediocre concept! It's 2025.

Do you EVER post anything useful? I am aware of that, and I expect the devs to fix it :) I am putting out REALISTIC expectations, which is why they should do these things during the beta, not LATER after the game releases.
