[Feedback] Improve Campaign Longevity: Add Cruel Difficulty Mode

tl2 has my favorite endgame of arpgs, that being ng+ into ng+++++.

+1

I prefer an option to just skip campaign and go straight to endgame maps, after doing the same campaign for the third time, it becomes really boring and you start to see many bad decisions during the acts

True. GGG could add an option to skip the campaign, but shouldn't impede this idea for Cruel difficulty mode.

just no, campaign is the worst part of the game
let me play the actual game (endgame)

This change doesn't impact this at all, completely optional.

Yes please! I rather spend my whole life doing campaign on higher difficulty all the way to lvl 100 than running maps in repetitive endgame. People who call mapping in this game "true game" are really out of touch (it's true in PoE 1 but definitely not here).

Agreed. The campaign is the "true game" to use your words, endgame maps are just filler content.

One of the best features of Diablo 2 is the replayability of the campaign with multiple difficulties. GGG should consider this feature for PoE2.

We need a campaign skip option. I do not want to have to go through it on multiple characters every league. Once is enough. It's already a slog.

There is not enough content for a campaign skip. Maybe if GGG added more Interludes, it may work as alternate way to level.
