So why make the campaign so hard, that many people will never see the real game?
Would be easy enough to ramp up the difficulty just in the endgame.


I think it's the opposite. Act 2 is the hardest part of the entire game. I changed my build solely because of act 2

Endgame is easy if you have endgame gear. If you're trying to do endgame content with the gear you used to ran tier 1 maps, obviously it won't be very easy

I dont agree. Campaign is part of the game, you wont be doing anything diffrent so why rush? I just hate that mentality. Why are you so eager to finish? Journey is just as important. Its part of the progression.

First and foremost I think PoE2 is a decent game with a lot potential, but it isn't there yet.

And PoE2 is also a service game, which basically lives like PoE1 from players which participate in every league and always come back to it.

What do you think how many people will return after 1-2 leagues when they always have to play that slog of a campaign (and 3 acts still missing)?

I'm going to tell you, there will be probably 10k basement dwellers left dealing with it every single league.
They should make it like in path of exile 1 just add a ruthless mode instead of making it dark souls like for everyone.
stop casualizing the game, please.

PoE becamse unbearable to play exactly because of this: everyone wanted to run around "mapping" and clearing entire screens with "builds" they copy pasted from somewhere. making this easily accessible to everyone meant that most of everything that mattered was trivialized.

stop this.

just play the game.

The campaign will be about just as long, cruel difficulty will disapear. How many players there will be? Depends on league content. Its not PoE1 where you rush to the end because the only interesting bosses are there. Im one of those that did league content even during acts in poe1. Its a game, i dont need to be efficient, i dont care how long will it take to get to the end. Those basement dwelers like you call them are the ones taking part in this rat race. Normal players enjoy the game.
Yep its already way too easy and kinda boring.
