If only creating a new character wouldn't take so long

Just get rich and repecs wont matter.

Or play std and have like 20 characters who get reset every patch and play almost whatever you want at high level when patch drops

Every patch I mess around in std for like a month trying new skills and trees before trying ladder. I pretty much have everything to build anything and free repecs. Its fun. Do a couple levels and decide it's not a fun build like this miner i built. sux when you go through a build and like 85 and find out.

Respeccing a char isnt a solution imo.
Also standard isn't an option for many players,

Yes it is an option, you're just choosing it not to be.

I don't really mind it too much but I think we've reached a point where we could ditch cruel already.

Instead of making people run through everything and only ever farming the ledge, docks or dried lake make it so people spend a bit more time in each zone but in return there's no more cruel difficulty.

Blade vortex will carry any character to merciless in roughly 7 hours.

Just equip 2x cybils and screw all other forms of gear and run.

Well, I call shit gameplay. Facerolling is boring. It would be saner to make leveling shorter AND more meaningful/hard at the same time.

I think creating characters the way you see it, to me is playing the game. No sense of achievement if you are at endgame and L100 within the hour. If you think it is boring, spend on offensive and speed before life and defensive, and see how fast you can run to the end of Merc. Especially with Perandus mobs and/or non-aoe characs, this might yet be challenging.

leveling to maps takes 6 to 10 hours of playtime, and it's absolutely not challenging with proper gear, how do you even get a sense of achievement within that time frame

BUT I will have to go through act 1, act 2, act 3 and act 4 again three times! If only this process would be easier after you've finished everything once before in a league with one character...

It already is exponentially easier to progress the entire game and much faster than your first run through of the game if you put back all the low lvl twink gear you found while lvling your first build. Hell Ive run characters from lvl 1 to Act4 Merci in around 10 hours and thats without really trying too hard or even being good at racing. Just using lvling Uniques and having some stuff i put back from past lvling. Hell people who are good at racing laugh at that kinda time and can probably do it in 6-8 hours maybe less. !0 hours for me was also with Cyclone before all these new OP spells like Blade Vortex so i figure you can speed through that game even faster now.

make a second account and boost your main accoutn characters

I would do it and not get burned out playing PoE. Currently in the almost quitting phase, a new character would definitely get me hooked for a while again.

I think I'm not the only one going through this phase?

yeah...I hate playing it over and over again. I hope they have 12 acts one day instead of 3x4. I actually hoped for act 4 to remove one difficulty but they didn't. If I would have to play 12 different acts (or less) I would be happily doing so but 3x4...please...no!

I want to create a Fakener but can't be arsed leveling another char after getting 2 to 83+ already. Perhaps it's time to make a boosting account.

At first I thought "wtf, it's only 3 clicks and a name!"
Try to start other games with where you can choose the colour of eyebrows and shit... :)



There's one thing I don't get: if "levelling" is boring, how is mapping not boring? seems the same, imo

If content is too easy, don't touch op stuff from stash. Fighting is more fun than running through. (your opinion may vary)

We have standard to try builds. Trees are reset every league, so you can choose an old character and re-equip him.
