Re-running the campaign for every char, every time.

I am so confused, I know most people here hate the long ass maps of acts 3 and 4.

now someone offers a suggestion and all of a sudden

CAMPAIGJN MUST BE DONE EVERY SINGLE TIME ON EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER...

NO BOOSTS ALLOWERD. WE ALL MUST SUFFER!

Why not provide an alternative leveling method like an arena or something else.

Something that can be done after clearing campaign once per league (if people really want you to do campaign every league.)

Its not suffering, its fun. Ive always enjoyed campain in PoE1 and i sure do enjoy it in PoE2. Dunno why so many players want to jump to endgame - its kinda boring.

Fun is subjective.

Some find Mario fun, some find it unfun.

Some find Dark souls fun, some find it unfun.

Same with campaign, some find it fun, some find it unfun.

Personally I find campaign in anyway or shape is unfun.

Even the most stellar single player triple AAA video game that I love so much I can only play like atmost 2 or 3 times before I am completely bored of it due to predictability (Everything is predictable once you do it several times)

Campaign in an ARPG like PoE will always be a problem for people like me that finds predictable things flat out unfun.

I think the only solution is to have a GREAT and SHORT campaign (3-4 hours session) if GGG do not want campaign skip ever.

The current slow, slogging, long and boring campaign just aint it.

I literally will never boot up PoE2 again if the campaign is as long and boring as it is current. I haven't played since 0.1.

Seriously. Even my most loved single player game that will forever stays in my heart can't even lure me back for the 3rd time. How dare Johnathan and all of his hubris thinks that I will do his 25 hours boring slog of a campaign 4 times a year, 12 times If I want to do toons and try new builds?

???

Pure hubris.

Ironically, the campaign in PoE2 is shorter than the one in PoE1

Your game is unironically super boring (to me).

I'd take PoE1 campaign over PoE2 campaign any day.

And I'm the biggest PoE1 campaign hater. I literally never play more than 1 character per league because I hate running campaign that much.

Wait, my game? I had no idea I was the one behind it. If it truly were mine, I'd be swimming in wealth by now.

The game that you're defending. It's your game. I don't even recognize it as a Path of Exile successor.

Garbage failed experiment Dark Soul / PoE hybrid abomination.

I'm not entirely sure what you're attempting to convey, but personally, I feel fairly indifferent toward both games. That being said, how you choose to define them doesn't truly alter their success. In reality, the objective success of a game remains unchanged, regardless of perspective. This is simply a fact.

However, I still think you're confusing Dark Souls with PoE 2, they're two entirely different games. On a side note, Elden Ring is currently on sale on Steam, so it might be worth picking up to get a firsthand experience of what a Dark Souls style game looks and feels like.

You ignoring the similarities between PoE2 and Soulborne games is not objective reality either. We've been through this before.

Go argue with hundreds of threads and thousands of people that claims PoE2 tries to be Dark Souls here and stop acting like I'm the only one claiming this like some fringe conspiracy: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/search/?q=dark+soul&type=posts&sort=relevance&cId=cde6fe8b-e8d4-4ba5-ba47-b9ca5f412ab2&iId=8ebe7301-337b-4fd0-a9a5-9389abe5fbb6

Again. You ignoring reality does not make a good argument, okay?

Again. Go play some Dark Soul games and come back before you make any argument about how PoE2 is not Soulsborne inspired.

You're being sarcastic to the wrong person. I am a die-hard souls fan. I own DS1,2,3 all full DLC, Sekiro, Bloodborne full DLC on ps4, beat Tree Sentinel on Elden Ring day one with a naked club character just for funsies. Probably the only Fromsoft game in the past decade I don't own is Demon Soul remaster because I don't have a PS5 and Armoured Core because I don't like robots.

Your arguments are weak, you ignore reality then make baseless sarcastic claim towards someone with actual expertise on the matter. It's a bad look.

I have logged approximately 700 hours in Souls-like games, so I don’t need the suggestion to play Dark Souls to notice the significant differences between Path of Exile 2 and Souls-like titles. The idea that a dodgeroll mechanic is a defining feature of Souls-like games is misguided. As we’ve already discussed in a different conversation, movement abilities have existed long before Dark Souls, so I’m not sure where the confusion is coming from. Perhaps it’s just following a misconception popularized by a streamer?

Additionally, I have extensive experience with both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2, and the gameplay between the two feels quite similar. PoE2 doesn’t even approach the level of challenge or intensity found in Souls-like games, as it doesn’t actively try to impose the same kind of pressure or threat to the player.

Reddit? Not really my thing. I prefer to keep my mental energy for things that don’t require me to constantly question the state of the internet.
But now that I think about it, I can kind of see where the whole misconception of PoE2 being a Soulslike is coming from, it’s all starting to make a more sense now.
