Just let us do maps without having to beat cruel?

I may be recalling this wrong and I cannot find any evidence to perhaps someone else can answer this?

I thought they had discussed being able to skip campaign after your first time in PoE 2? I vaguley remember it being mentioned somewhere as a pretty big pain point for even a lot of PoE 1 Vets.

It of course will not be in early access but it may come in the full release.

Please please. Also, when creating a new character, if we already completed the campaign, let us go straight into endgame. Having to grind this insanely long campaign again wrecks replayability for me.

Once you've done the campaign once or twice you shouldn't be forced to run it again and again and again.

It's one of the things that undermines path of exiles end-game since by the time you reach it, you are more likely already spent on that seasonal play session and goes to play something else in stead.

They would have to come up with a way to give you the permanant quest rewards from the campaingn.
