poe 2 campaign

I stayed playing PD2 because I was enjoying my time on there and leveled too many characters on normal and HC.

Came to play 0.4 now since I play SSF, so when I start makes no difference to my enjoyment of the game.

I completed Act 1 and had to log out, feeling burnt out from the game, like it was a real drag to complete that act.

Day 2: half of Act 2, and I get bored. Level with bow until Hallow Palm change to storm wave; boring, slow gameplay.

I'll level and play this season, and I know at endgame I'll have fun, so what's the issue?

I can happily play strafe on PD2 season after season and spam play Earthshatter on POE and never get bored. Pindle run for a week and never question what I'm doing.

I feel deflated playing acts 1-2 of POE2. I hope work will be done on the campaign/characters because if the game is released and the acts still feel like this, I won't be playing.

happily solo-leveled through N/NM/H in Diablo for 20+ years with no burnout

POE2 burns me out with starting zones; something needs to change in my opinion. Areas are too big, acts feel too long, skills feel slow and boring.

Before the POE2 release, it was mentioned about leaving the POE1 campaign so we could choose which to play through, so surely their playtime must have been comparable as well because no one would have chosen to play the POE2 campaign on a league start. I know the vision change and the games are now split, etc.

I don't need to have the best time playing the campaign; endgame is what it's all about, but I can't see the vision of this campaign and how you think players want this. I don't want campaign skips, and I don't need ways to skip parts. I just want them to not drag or the characters to feel enjoyable to play.

Thanks
