Buuuuuut we still miss campaign skip

Campain is the best part of the game. Why one wants to skip it for repetable boring activity?

I redid some characters in this league to prepare for 0.5
All I can say is: We need to reduce the size of the maps!
There are maps that are unnecessarily huge my GOD
I'm not necessarily in favor of speeding up leveling for rerolls, but it would still make the story less unnecessarily long

Having a structure to level up our characters is a good thing. I have been leveling almost every class each season, so I understand all classes and their skills.
This season will be different since the endgame is so deep now. I will probably only level 3-4 classes this time around.

we like to skip D4 campaign because D4 campaign is a forgettable series of fetch quests/talking to NPCs (I challenge anyone to provide step by step of D4 original campaign without searching it up).

POE2 campaign on the other hand can be tedious if you've already done it, but it is rememberable and enjoyable at the very least.

They never did a Campaign skip in PoE 1 they won't do it is PoE2

I really dont see the need for campaign skip, but I will say that some of the campaign zones need to be reduced in size a bit. Also curious to see when patch 0.5 hits and we now find "hints" to where different locations can be found.

One idea to really speed up campaign would be that after your first character reaches to endgame (maps) and you start getting atlas passive tree points. There would be a small section in the atlas passive tree dedicated to leveling alts.

You could have nodes like:
a) "Zones in campaign are fully revealed." If you chose to put that atlas passive, your second, third, etc. characters would always see the campaign map/minimap fully discovered and you could instantly see where to go for your objectives.
b) "Movement speed while sprinting is increased by 20% while in campaign zones."
c) "Experience gain is increased by 20% while in campaign zones."

Something like those. You could choose not to allocate these points, if you wanted to have fresh start.

I hope that every time someone makes a post like this, GGG adds 5 minutes to the campaign.

What exactly is the reason behind this gatekeeping? We’re literally just asking for a campaign skip option after the first completion, without free levels, free items, or anything like that.

And its an option, so you can do your campaign over and over if u want to

But i do not want to do it over and over (with no free lvls or items! please read here carefully, even we might have skip option, who skips or plays campaign must be equal in every meaning)

I don't really think a campaign skip would be that fun either. Leveling in maps for 6 hours would feel waaaaaay worse and more like a slog than doing the campaign for 6 hours.

With that said, it would be fun with more impactful leveling uniques that would help you to really trivialize the campaign and blast through it in maybe half the time on your second run.
That experience could be fun in itself and help incentivize alts.

This is not Last Epoch, thank god
