I don't think I can do this every 3 to 4 months., the campaign is just too long.

Bro, I think it's time to just move on (or move back to PoE 1). You seem genuinely unhappy here.

Campaign is currently one of the strongest points of PoE 2.

If you think the "real game" is solely in endgame where you run the same 1-2 farming strategies on the same 1-2 layouts over and over, then PoE 1 is the game for you.

This is obviously an expectations problem where you arbitrarily think that some part of the game (the campaign) is not important and meaningful.

Yeah i completely agree to this. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3850895

Made a long post about certain issues with endgame and campaign

hows 10h campaign too long?
Besides combat balance, I enjoy the game now tbh. Even on my massacred boi Acolyte.

if you dont enjoy the campaign at all then this game isnt for you anyway and i strongly disagree that every game has to be balanced around father with 12 kids and 20 jobs.. there is plenty of games for you, let the neets have some too

People like you need to stop trying to make devs trivialize every single game, im sorry but its why there are so little good games nowadays.

Are you under the impression that 2 is one of the "good games?"

Because its not 10 Hours. Its 10 Hours if you have an extremely good build, good drops and rush like a madman. If u dont have a well planned build it will take you longer if you then also have bad drops, a bit of unluck with dying, want to craft a bit test around in your build a bit, then time is adding up. Its not unusual for the first run in league to take 20-25 or even more Hours. 10 Hours is a time you can reasonably do when you level a second character, but thats not what this post is about.

Its about the first run in every new league/reset. Which just takes too long.

The campaign is okay, but as the post states its not good if you have to run it every new league. It gets boring, because it is so long. Dont get offended because someone says its too long that says nothing about the quality of it.

They don't like the campaign and say "the real game begins at maps".
Then they skip the whole mapping and gearing process by trading and jump to pinnacles.
Then they also complain the game has no content.
It's all the same people.
I don't understand you people. Why play at this point?

the game is not yours, its ok.

we want poe2, not copy poe1.

And I never asked for it to be POE1. What the heck is wrong with you people? You cant read 5 paragraphs? You cant try to understand my point and make a persuasive reply?

Man!

Sad!

Don't worry about these idiots. You're giving feedback they don't like (tough shit for them), and they're being loud about it. Changes will come soon. I promise.

Endgame is the point where the real agme begins. Its where people spend the most time. Trading, Theorycrafting, Pinnacles.
That is what drives people to the game. The endgame and the Build possibilities. Barely anyone would come back to play only the Campaign. Thats just how it is and what made Path of Exile famous. You dont have to like it, but thats the case.
