I don't think I can do this every 3 to 4 months., the campaign is just too long.

I haven't read the whole thread (tldr) but one thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet is you don't HAVE to play the leagues.

Standard is a thing. You can play that with the same set of character(s) and not have to keep redoing the campaign when you have time to play and actually see some progression.

Yeah, the economy will be totally fubared, but it's going to be fubared by the time you get to end game during a league anyways.

If you couldn't read the first post then your reply will, and indeed is, non sequitur to that post. First of all I have played POE1 for over a decade and so I know what I am doing. Second of all POE1 economy isnt fubar even now months into the league. Third of all I almost always play SSF so I dont care about that.

None of which has anything to do with my point.

Take a chill pill dude. You also didn't read my post, which was about standard league. There's no reason you have to restart with every league. Standard league literally exists for people with limited time or who don't want to lose progression. Your entire point was you dont have time or don't enjoy having to do the campaign over and over and would like to see endgame. They literally invented a whole game mode for people just like you, it's called standard league. You don't have to redo the campaign, and just keep playing the same character.

I completed the campaign 2 days a go i think. 2 kids, fulltime work.

But i also know i took alot of extra time to just replay areas to explore and look around on whats new.

And now with a stash full of items i know the next character ill test will not even take 50% as long.

Plus by now many new and effective combos has been figured out so im sure in the end. the clear time will be "ok" honestly.

I suggest GGG you need play 1 character for full campaign per league. After that, you can create others character with level at 65 (and the progress, passive point + reward from quest same 1st character, e.g if your 1st character get 22 passive points from quest, the new one get 22 too). I think this might solve the problem run over and over the campaign.

Problem is they want you to have fun in campaign not skip it like in the first game. They want to make sure campaign is as fun as end game mapping. They literally said, if people think campaing is too long or boring then that means they need to make campaign more fun than it is.

This will be a hardtask for them, it will be hard to balance both of them. As long as end game will be super duper efficient than campaign then people will want get done with campaign as quickly as possible.

Humble idea, but i dont think possible. The campaign lives also from its story and from discovering new things, but u wont find new things after the 3rd or so playthrough. Thats the issue with campaigns.

You cna make it more fun by simply giving more gold and more loot to the player. That allows the player to actually engage into craft, engage into theorycrafting, engage into trade.

Campaign is pretty good now that you no longer have to redo 3 acts on cruel.

Once you get to Act 4 you already get the free roaming type of gameplay where you can pick whatever map and it will be the right level and you can start using the market. Between that and "Endgame" there really isn't much difference. On endgame you will have 10% XP penalty and start to manage waystones but that's about it.

Also I've played since 0.1.0 and the campaign was a very different experience every time. There are so many changes with builds and currencies. And in 0.3.0 there's a whole new half of the campaign and also the Abyssal BS. I don't really feel any repetitiveness.

After you get your first character to Act 4, the next one can start using really OP (for campaign) items from market/previous character and raze through the campaign.

I am 54, a VP of Engineering (which means busy full time job) a single father widower with kids to manage. I make good money and want to sit down when I can and play a video game.

How about to play a game in campaign? It is a game and it does not require 12 hours a day to play.

Why everyone is trying to skip 90% of game just to explode screens like fubgun does on his streams.

Take a break for a Season. Go touch grass or take your kids fishing instead.

This is the solution.

I ask you whats the point of playing a campaign you already played 15 times? You know the story, you know the secrets. There is nothing challenging in it. If you speedrun the campaign thats sth. different but thats not the Speedrunning is very different from normal play.

So why would u play the game just for the Campaign when u already know everything?

You can play different skills/ builds / characters, and there's league content in acts as well. And yes, it should be challenging then.
If its small time to play then you barely can have 15 times before it can bore you.

Generally speaking the endgame is not THAT different, and in some aspects even more repetitive than campaign. So whats the point of playing maps you already played 150 times?

Yea i feel the same
My biggest gripe is you dont know what the end game even looks like till you get there and after getting there im done
Abyss content in every map is a fucking chore the mobs suck ass and i needed to play 80hours to see this season is not for me.

And ill SAY THIS LOUD AND CLEAR GGG if this shit is in every map next season i QUIT.

i dont play games to be put through frustration because DEVS dont have a clue what their doing.

but hey buy them supporter packs
