Bring Back "Respawn at Checkpoint" in HC - At least for Campaign

Could we please have the "Respawn at Checkpoint" button back in HC leagues? It was inexplicably removed 2 patches ago, but maybe the HC population has grown enough to speak about this! Removing this button has completely changed the dynamic of campaign speed running between HC and SC leagues. The difference between a SC and HC campaign run is substantial now given this change.

I was watching a great speed run tutorial from Angormous and quickly realized that almost half the useful tips and skips he used were not possible in HC. This is because the respawn at checkpoint button is now gone in HC. Lots of dialogue skips are not possible, as well as some useful backtracking and objective hunting in the campaign. If respawn at checkpoint is not meant for this function, I understand. But with SC players being able to do this, it is inconsistent with GGG's past philosophy of keeping HC and SC mechanics the same apart from the character loss on death.

This should be standardized between both leagues. I don't want to be the fun police that gets it removed from SC, so the preferred solution is to add it back to HC. If GGG wants HC to be a more challenging mode by default, that makes sense. I think a reasonable compromise is having the button present through the campaign, but remove in endgame. That's just one suggestion for a relatively simple solution.

I'm not a legendary speed runner myself. Just a longtime POE1 and 2 HC player who occasionally practices cutting down my campaign times. But this issue affects everybody who plays HC regardless of effort and skill level. Any campaign guide you find will eventually mention these skips throughout the campaign as they are pivotal to saving time. We do not have access to most of these by default just because we are playing in HC.

Hopefully we can get a few HC players to chime in here and show some support, despite how few of us there are. As the game matures and gets closer to 1.0, I think the HC population will start growing. Many people and even HC POE1 streamers currently play SC to learn the game or not deal with bug issues during the beta. But I suspect as 1.0 launch looms, the HC population will grow. Hopefully by then we at least have some consistency between SC and HC in regards to the Respawn at Checkpoint works. Any other HC players that are bothered by this or have different opinions, feel free to chime in!
