Playerbase will decline massively (campaign & Azmadi)

I just fought Azmadi (blind HCSSF) and was terrified seeing his name dropped here and people bitching about him over and over.
1st try he melted ezpz, lost about 1k ES at some point, I genuinely don't know what these people are on about.
HCSSF is the only way.

Boss already got giga nerfed, just because you don't wanna invest into defenses or try to learn the mechanics which are telegraphed by the way... then what is the point of this post? Just to further spread the doom?


I mean some of his abilities are telegraphed. The exceptions are the 1hit kill that you have less than 1 second to respond to (feel like this is only really a problem for melee. But I shouldn't have to change my build entirely to manage this) and when he teleports off screen and off screens you because you can't check 3 corners of the map before he fires off his other 1 hit kill.

It's not even "difficulty" it's just stupid.
"I personaly dont like the game so playerbase will decline massively"

Cannot count the amount of post saying the same for months and yet playerbase still very high.

I think a lot of you should realise that many people have different opinion of yours.

Or maybe just word you post/title differently so that we actualy want to read them.

Campaign: undeniably the strongest point of this season. People massively enjoyed it and it's most of the time the main positiv point people bring about the new update when they post feedback even when they have a lot of negativ points to say.

Your title make no sens.

10 hour campaign is gross (or however long it is)
i absolutely hate it, but I like how many character progresses once the game starts (early mapping/pushing/juicing)
Another thread about "the game is too long".
You need button to skip the game and win? You can use youtube or twitch for that.

I can admit that some build enabling things could be given a little earlier, but thats not a campaign issue. And i personally think its also fine as is.

Campaign should be more challenging, more like 0.2 patch before mob nerfs. Then it will be more interesting and less chore. So it should not be "skippable" and "speedrunnable" as poe1 acts, and it is actually a main game where character grows and is a core of RPG games, while endgame is more about minmaxing and perfecting the build with uber challenges.

Campaign is very long, tedious and boring after 1st time completing it. Yet still got another 6 acts coming smh.
If people actually play long enough to fight Azmadi, then he will become the final nail in the coffin for people to quit and leave. Absolutely ridiculous how many 1 hit abilities he has for a non endgame boss


Thousands upon thousands of people enjoy starting new characters and running through the campaign. They put up with cruel acts for months and they wanna see the completed campaign. These are the people that come back every season and pay for MTX
I very much enjoy the campaign every time. I even wouldn't mind doing it all again on Cruel with drops adjusted. Endgame maps get a bit boring for me quickly.

I'd rather follow a storyline while killing and looting than a generic "there is evil in this area, kill everything" times infinity.

To each their own.
