Seems Act 5 will take 22h and 6 will take 44h; tedious, boring and no replay ability.

Yeah I am not going to play the same 200 hour campaign over and over again every 4 months. Your mileage may vary.

Dear GGG: Call me when you realize how silly this is and make a sequel.

disagree, i think the campaign is easily the best part of the game, and this is good news to me. UNTIL they do something about end game

I agree it feels very long. And the story is not engaging at all. We all finnished the campain but honestly i have NO clue what about is the story from start to end. I dont wanna compare to d4 but one thing blizzard does well is the story telling part.

Wish it was longer honestly.

Many of the act 4 bosses simply just dont have any health and you dont get to enjoy their mechanics.


Campaign was pretty rewarding as well. Very fun did it twice this league so far.

Personally I like the acts and they dont take anywhere near as long as people say. Maybe on your first play through, not afterwards though. The acts are hand crafted, higher quallity, and more interesting than maps, at least for now.

i expect act 6 to be completable in around 12 hours for me, and im not particularly good at the game.

Actually I have no problem making bosses harder. None whatsoever. As long as I dont have to wader through waist deep sewage for 40 miles to get to them.

Though I would have still preferred a different approach :
the current temporary leagues being instead (paid) expansions with no time limit.

No. GGG already solved this problem years ago.
Right now you have:
- 4 months to play brand new league mechanic content whenever you like. Thats plenty of time for FREE
- After leagues are done their content (the mechanic as in Abyss) 90% of the time gets added to the core game to STAY.
- Everything else gets introduced into the game on patch day. Stuff like balance changes, items, gems, passives all are on Standart

GGG makes the mechanics with the intention of them going into the core game. Stuff that doesn't go core is one of 2 things - A: Its not popular/ B: Its a balance disaster (or sometimes both)

There is absolutely no reason to want/need paid expansions when you will GET the
content ANYWAY. If GGG did what you had asked it would have been much worse to gate people behind a paywall for content + the ridiculous MTX prices.
For your sake, please be more responsible on how you want to spend your money, cuz thats why Blizzard/EA/Ubishit still exist to this day. From Gamers with disposable income that will pay for stuff that should not even be sold, but come included with the end product.

If Act 5 is as good as Act4 I won't complain if it takes 22h.

I understand the frustration. The campaign is simply too long for those with limited time, especially for players who prefer the endgame. The first time each league is kinda okay, it's boring, but I'm usually testing something or trying to optimize the leveling. But if I have to create another character, which is pretty rare in PoE 1, in PoE 2 it will be just impossible. So if I mess up my first character and don't like the class/build I chose, I'll just quit the league and wait for the next one. Repeating this massive campaign is not gonna happen.

The campaign is like, the fun part. Endgame-only players should go play PoE1, since it seems like that game satisfied the game-flow you want.

I do not think you will ever get GGG to capitulate on this point since this is one of the differentiating factors of 1 and 2. They do not want 1 and 2 to be the same game and appeal to the same crowd, since they are still supporting both.
