It seems like all players only play one character, with all other professions hanging！！！

Unless there's a bald character added inside

There are lots of other classes and hanging seems normal and frequent at this time of period where we are part of the PoE 2 lore.

Basically when you choose your base class the other characters get tranfromed into a space cheeseburger and you reap the squeeze afterwards.

Masterpiece of 3.16 lore

Well you're supposed to be playing the hero, right? In the campaign you are the Hero and that means you are the only one to survive. I'm sure it will make sense in the story!

I disagree. We aren't hero, we are just us, trying to survive and thrive in Wraeclast by any means necessary. People hail us as godslayer, savior of oriath, etc. But we just simply insatiable, power-hungry exile, that keeps going into the atlas again, again, and again.

Conquerors of The Atlas were us in the War of the Atlas, we keep f-ing around despite Zana's warning and found out, Sirus came to Oriath and raze the city to the ground. We defeat Conquerors of The Atlas but not with pure intention, we simply want the power they held and make the atlas as our own. Zana gone, Oriath gone, but the cycle continue. We keep f-ing around and found out again, we confronted by Cosmic Entities in which their true power is beyond our comprehension. Does that stop us ? F-ing no, we keep going into the atlas, we face the Cosmic Horrors, we crave for more powers, even with the knowledge that by keep delving into the atlas, we can bring destruction into the entirety of Wraeclast.

We strike deal with The Maven, by entertaining it in Maven's crucible, Maven tries to guard the Atlas from the other two currently known Cosmic Horrors to devour the Atlas and manifest directly into Wraeclast. (Searing Exarch and Eater of The Worlds are just simply the "messenger" from their respective faction, they aren't even the main Cosmic Entity).

And what do we do after knowing that ? WE.KEEP.MAPPING. We are the exile, insatiable, hungry for power, craving for more and more. We are not hero, we are just an exile, and this is the Path of Exile.
