People who want to skip the story after the first playthrough, should go back to D4. It was the absolute worst idea Blizzard had in D3 when they introduced endgame and gave us a skip button for the entire story. Then they have gone and added this feature in D4 too. That is exactly why Diablo has become so incredibly boring.

When a game stops caring for its own story, every incentive to play it fades away in all of the player base, as EVERY single added feature afterwards, ignores the story too and is solely found in endgame content.

If you do that, there is no reason to have a story in the first place. Then you should be honest to yourself and do not give a story and start with the endgame from the very beginning.

Thankfully GGG does NOT go that route. They care for their story and it will be a blast once all 6 acts are out. Because the journey to the endgame is actually the most progression oriented part, with most variation to gameplay and exploring in regards to the given invironment and yourself.

The endgame in any game is always the most repetitive and boring part(unless the story part is extremely bad). I think it requires a composition of both. A repetetive part and a story part. Erasing one, will lead to an outcome that leans too much in one direction, and then you have to inevitably ask yourself why the other part even exists.

I understand completing the campaign all over again in a new league. But repeating it every time on a new character is pointless. You only get excited about it the first time. The next time and the next is just the fastest march from point to point. If it were otherwise, there would be no guides on how to complete the campaign as quickly as possible. There would be no videos on how to do it in less than a certain time. Are you telling me you get excited about the campaign after the hundredth playthrough? No, you want to do it as quickly as possible and have fun in the end game. So why not shorten it to one button?

I don't play Diablo 4 (I didn't buy that crap)

Just one change. Stop deleting all portals after death on map. Ok let the boss restore hp to full but God dammit, we are no masochists. Game is difficult and its ok but penalizing player on every move is absurd. Boses have insane ammount of HP so your fight is long. And almost every scratch from boss instantly kills a player. I liked this game very much until i reached maps t16. Now im considering stop playing because the only thing i get from playing is frustration. OFC i know i can make other build that will almost insta kill boses. BVut like yopu GGG said, you wanted balance skills to prevent whole server playing same skill and as always yuo f**ked it. So the only thing you got is IMBALANCE.

Need loot filter for Xbox badly :(((

This was posted 11 days ago. But Steam updates PoE 2 for me at least twice a day, every day.

WHY aren't patch notes being posted anymore, GGG?

You think you want this, but you don't. You need a sense of journey and development for your characters. Removing the campaign is perhaps the worst thing that can happen in an ARPG. It will never happen in PoE because the developers actually care about their game.

My first post on this forum is to tell you how absolutely useless this post is and how wrong you are.

The person also didn't say to remove the campaign fully but I'll only speak for myself.

I do not want the campaign removed - But I dont' want to have to do a (again in my opinion - I do understand some people like the campaign and that's great but most people I know can't even tell me the story of the campaign) absolutely *garbage* campaign that even in my fastest runs took me 12 hours for every alt I make when it's barely enjoyable the first time.

The story isn't good, even as a walmart version of a D2 retelling. Once I realized Act I was basically Tristram, the hooded figure was a mix of Deckard Cain and Tyrael, and that we wouldn't be getting the horadric cube in an act 2 thats only redeeming part is the artwork on an incredibly badly optimized slave barge and Act 3 was just ancient temple poison enemy mumbo jumbo I gave up caring even in the slightest. Then you jump the shark with time travel.

I think its pretty standard now in ARPG's that you need to do the campaign the first time, then you provide massive skips for alts so that you can get into your desired content faster the next few times. That's become the go to model. Heck even Lost Epoch, which barely lasted a month, knew to do it.

As it stands I'll probably play for a league or two, but having to redo this incredibly long, incredibly badly written and incredibly boring campaign may stop me from playing anything further unless the league mechanic is insanely cool. And I think you'll see a lack of people returning over time to redo it.

Whether you want to admit it or not QoL is the name of the game in player retention, and while there were some changes for QoL that were very smart (respeccing no longer being a stop gap being the most important) there are some that are incredibly, incredibly stupid.

My tl;dr is: Provide options for the consumer so that they can choose how they want to have fun. If people want to replay the campaign? Awesome. More power to them, let them. If people don't? Don't force them.

It never hurts to provide your players with options versus pushing them away with rigid structure.

Kind of like how PoE China has an Auction House and we don't, because giving people options like that would be horrible and everyone would hate it :P

Hopefully they never listen to you lol. There's a reason why you aren't a developer and they are.
