General Discussion - Neither game is nearly fun enough to ignore all the feedback regarding unskippable campaigns. - Forum

They said the same about Auction houses and they have been wrong about both. I quit playing PoE1 in 2018 after 3200 hours precisely because having to play the campaign 1 more time was too much. I may think PoE is the better game but getting to skip the campaign ensures I'll be back for every season in D4.	Posted by Zederok#2039 on Nov 26, 2024, 1:22:55 PM Quote this Post
Yea they ignored it because its a bad feedback that simply say "I don't like it, change it for ME".	Posted by bewilder2#0356 on Nov 26, 2024, 1:35:00 PM Quote this Post

The death pentalty is also still there, in fact it is slightly more punishing in PoE 2. Maybe, just maybe, it is time to take the hint. Campaign skip is not happening. Thankfully.

Why do people expect to be able to skip everything de devs worked on for at least 5 years? Yeah you don't, they wany you to play trhough the story, they also tried to make it different every time you play through it etc etc. Altoholism is mostly only for streamers anyways.

i come from a totally different approach let players enjoy league content on standard, but lock all challenge/challenge rewards/kirac pass progress to be unobtainable on standard. this bypasses the entire "i dont want to go through campaign anymore". i m tired of working my ass off every new league and i dont even know if i want to play poe1 anymore once poe2 hits. but having new leagues also available on standard could entice me back to poe1.

This a good suggestion for those who like to do league content but do not care about challenges.	Posted by hasatt0#7256 on Nov 26, 2024, 8:12:21 PM Quote this Post

Right, but they could make the campaign more dynamic and more fun and that'd draw you back? IGN : Reamus	Posted by Andromansis#4714 on Nov 26, 2024, 8:44:38 PM Quote this Post

I just cant see wanting to skip PoE2 content that you havent even played once yet! I personally have been in the closed beta and I CANT wait to play the campaign again and many more times after as I level new characters. Maybe in a couple of years playing PoE2 I will want to skip campaign but as for now I know its super fun and I cant wait!!!!!	Posted by argoniashawks#7828 on Nov 27, 2024, 1:28:46 PM Quote this Post
