0.1 was the best the campaign felt. I do hope we can keep the combat feeling good and make the endgame feel the same. One shotting the entire screen from act 4 onwards gets really boring.

Well said.

GGG might make campaign a bit more difficult so that top streamers could finish it not right before midnight on launch day but two hour later.

Recent shifts to campaign difficulty have moved away from the engaging combat that defined 0.1 experience. Current balancing lacks the tension that made early encounters dangerous. Count Geonor was a genuine threat in 0.1, but players can now face-tank mechanics that were previously lethal.
I urge GGG to consider returning that original level of challenge to the campaign.
+1
+ please strive to also extend that feeling of challenge to the endgame.
"Sigh"

Jonathan, please stay true to your "vision" and revert campaign difficulty to 0.1. Too many arpgs on the market become water-downed over time, please don't let that happen to our beloved PoE2!
Wont happen. POE1 crowd loves cookieclickers.

I agree. 0.1 was the best the game ever felt. Despite all the bugs and obvious problems that version had. The difficulty and progression through the first 3 acts was peak. Now you are just blasting thru mindlessly as soon as you get a +skills weapon and nothing really feels like a challenge, you get showered in rares way too soon.
0.1 had progression from white items to blue to then yellow. Now we just go straight to yellow. Bosses were fun fights, now they are for the most part a joke.
0.1 was already bad enough. The campaign is a real drag i did it once on release, can't convince myself to do it again. Just gotta wait for Chris wilson's arpg now

Do you even realize that his game will be 100 times slower than POE2?

Keep in mind that if the recommendation includes reducing +levels on items, then that power needs to come from somewhere else.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but some of the character power needs to simply disappear as power creep is out of control. Bring back the challenge.
