vvdulw: ACT 3 Makes me want to quit the game at times

zunamie: I have only ever made one character each league in PoE 1 and 2 and it’s because I don’t want to do the campaign over again

karterfoster5474: Honestly, after first campaign completion, just do a full map reveal for all other characters....

WashuMisato: I mean, a simple thing that could happen is that when you complete the campaign once, on your next character in that league the waypoints remain unlocked... you still have to complete each act, but you can just jump to where you want to go in the act.

Seals619: I think you should have to do the campaign once per season and every character you make after that in the same season gets to just entirely skip it. It would increase my playtime of seasons by double or triple personally. Just with that change. It feels really dumb to me that they are so hard up on making you do the campaign on every character you make.

DaoOfWeiß: One thing that would be cool about making a second character would be to get all the extra passive points, and make those same quests reward you with the right level of support gems or something , so even if we have to go through the campaign again we get to get a build more online quicker , and make the condition kill Arbiter or something .

ceoxan5227: I'm only playing one more character at most outside my league starter going forward, leveling like 5 characters last league got me.. shit is way to long even if you're optimized.

miklaz1199: Shortcuts like in Last Epoch

faidonasuchiha8109: as some1 who does the campain in like 5 hours ,id much prefer a buff to movement than anything and some zone to be more clearly streamlined

Jawbrah-qa: Hate campaign, I want just skip it so bad.

mmb-c2w: 20 hour campaign is the worst... thats 4 days with ~5 hours played a day. thats nearly a job.. i will not waste my entire weekend to play the same campaign over and over again.. i stay logged out.

GMScorpio: i play once every 2-3 leagues and i honestly would play more if i didnt have to do the campaign. im still a noob thou only 800 hours in poe1 and 400 in poe 2. By the time i get to maps im already burnt out but i did have fun which is why i come back every so often

bluetoughguy: I love the idea of alternative experiences for leveling after the first time. GGG is really good at coming up with ideas and this could definitely help. Leveling is pretty slow as is, so having a way to speed it up a bit and make it less repetitive is definitely a plus!

Alejandro-xk5ej: Only having to do the campaign once per league would make it so much popular to make alts

hamishmcewan6943: I think the main issue with me for the campaign is that with gear scarcity and crafting scarcity it’s harder for me to kill stuff (especially on monk) before it kills me

Mike-fp9ig: Your second character each league will inherently be stronger due to having currency and items from your first. So how about instead of making them stronger with that stuff, we instead give them the bonuses from defeating optional bosses already completed with the first? Load into act 1 and you already have the books of specialization, Beira’s frost res, Candlemass’ life bonus etc. Load into act 2 and you get the same from every non-story fight there. Every act you hit, you automatically have the bonuses from the optional fights. Now you can blast through, but still have to engage in the core story without fear of getting sidetracked.

Gooseferatu003: Im fairly certain that most people think the campaign is more more of a chore after they have done it once ever.

Dandpz: Why not just make an enjoyable campaign? The game is just frustrating for no reason, in my opinion. End of story.

Piper0185: I believe 2nd characters should start with all points and spirit auto unlocked. Save those extra quests.

haka9: I love the idea of creating a streamlined campaign for the second character with the explanation that the first character did some bushwhacking for subsequent characters. I like the idea of more leveling uniques, but I also like the idea of being able to craft powerful leveling gear.

finnishperson6401: The first campaign run from clean table has always been one of the best part of the game (in either of them) for me.. But yeah, unless you got some fun leveling uniques or have a otherwise prepared gear for the next character (which is what you should do imo), it definitely gets tedious. Haven't even watched the video yet, but i'm sure he has good idea how make the campaign more bearable, especially for the second run forward. Especially since we're gonna have two more full acts at launch and i don't think they are getting sgnificantly shorter or anything.

fuck, these are gonna be the longest three weeks of my life.. and then the wait for the release

rickfowler273: It’s cool that people like what they like and what not but D4’s campaign Skip is a massive QoL. For me, that stands out above all the other arpgs.

deepriseee9652: I have to go through campaign again...

Fenie: Just give me adventure mode from D3

SirQuackingtonYT: I would like to have something similar as the current interludes as an alternative campaign option for every other character made, after the campaign was completed. Those Interludes would have a massively steep exp and difficulty curve, that only with a prepared leveling gear those interludes are decently playable. It would add another experience and challenge to the game for every new twink character and might give an reason to create a second character to play. As many might only create one character per season.

247Deathmetal: How about for 2nd campaign, when you complete the act you get all side quest stat boosts, passives, trial mcguffins, and spirit gained. If you do the side quests you can get them early, but if you blast past all the side areas you get them after you beat the act boss. Give the stats and passives outright, but anything more tangible like blank runes, have you pick them up from the shop npc in the act town. This will give people who like the full experience the ability to do all side quests. Then people who want to blast past have a harder experience, but they can pick and choose ones they may need early if they need a little extra. If they're really good they can just beeline to act bosses and plow through campaign.

MachZiII: Hardcore players are just built different
