i understand forcing campaign once a league, but after you kill kitava once you should be able to unlock any lvl 70 unacended char. the majority of players don't make it past act 10 and that's where most of their revenue comes from
Yeah +1, even if its an unascended char with no gear, but all the quest skill points(maybe put a small dropdown menu on char creation to choose Bandit passive when creating an alt) would be huge. I don't mind doing lab again, or getting gear.

What makes me get giga burned out is the boring slog of a campaign, I've done it 543 times already, I'm tired of it. I am literally falling asleep at my keyboard every leaguestart just mindlessly running through the campaign zones. Its a chore, and many people would be able to try out so many builds and play for way longer if they could just skip this chore.
Lifelong NEET, loud and proud about it.

Found a way to hide any comment on the forums, my experience with using them is instantly 1000x better lemao
It’s unlikely that a skip will be introduced, as GGG continues to expand and refine both new content and campaign improvements. Running the campaign once per league in a slower, more deliberate manner is acceptable, while subsequent alternate characters will inevitably breeze through it anyway.

A potential way to meaningfully reinvigorate the campaign experience would be to integrate the Gauntlet campaign into the core game on a permanent basis. Objective fact. This is what would entertain players more.

I don't think they should or will ever allow campaign skips. I don't know how to explain it really, but... it just goes against everything this kind of game is about.

However, alternative methods of leveling, I am all for. They quickly came up with interludes for PoE2 to pad the game enough to get you to endgame, I bet they can come up with different methods of leveling characters in PoE1.

The problem is, I don't see it happening any time soon. They are clearly very busy with juggling PoE1 updates and finishing PoE2... I expect it will be years before they will have the time to do something non-essential like this, if ever.

Those interludes are mainly placeholder for future acts because they wanted to step back from normal/cruel system and not have the campaign be just current existing acts played twice to fill the gap between missing acts and endgame.

I feel like they could do something similar to the Endless Delve event and let people level their alts in Endless Delve up until they reach maps. After a certain level threshold you could get ported into an arena with each act endgame boss and fight them, then continue progressing from there back into deeper Delve.

Or they could even do something similar for Heist for people who really enjoy that system and want a full alternate leveling path built around it. But something like a full campaign skip is never going to happen for good reasons, as we all know.

i think its there so high skill players have an advantage start of league. if they remove campaign the top players would complain hard since they'll have much less of a head start to make money in day 1-2.

+1

I'm already feeling burnt out after making a 4th build this league and stopped after beating a10.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

The others found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on juice. I am not so foolish.

This is the third time you've posted this so far and it's still wrong.
They already explained that they won't do this because it would be unfair to new players
