I'll be honest with you. I'm in agreement that leveling is super boring sometimes. Doing it in 4 to 5 hours doesn't make it better or enjoyable. Although recently I've had time to play. I don't normally have a lot of time to play. So that 4 hours times 2 or 3 characters is actually painful as hell. It's not fun having 20 build ideas and then only getting to do 3 or 4 and i kind of have to kill myself to get all 4 in a league in terms of my schedule. honestly, 15 less hours leveling could be a 5th character I commit to in a league. A lot of my time on new characters is exploring and testing some mechanics on whether i like or don't like so it's already a bit of a time sink. Or if it's a much more fun 15 hours I can...you know, I guess what I'm really saying is. If I'm going to keep leveling new characters, to be honest, I might as well play and put my money into other games. That's my personal point and it's something I think a lot more people think about than actually participate in these forums. If I'm starting a new character and Have to level it, I'm going to likely level a character in a different game from this point forward. It doesn't make sense anymore. It's not 1992. People have more convenience and better quality in some areas of arpg's than this game offers and if they don't start taking QoL far more seriously, we will never have new players again and it will just be all of the bitter arguers like you and I. I'm tired of of not have new players stick out this game. I'm sick and tired of it. I don't think GGG are bad. I just think they have been putting their efforts in areas that don't retain long term players for a month or more per league. It isn't happening the way other games are pulling it off the past 2 years.

Couldn't agree more. This was my first PoE league, and after the 2nd char I couldn't be asked to do it again for the 3rd time; and mind you the campaign is stil fresh for me and I do actually like it (still). GGG really needs to think about this if they really want ppl to play in the league for a longer time to experiment with builds etc.

And you think having no campaign will get poe more new players?? Hahaha so delusional, luckily both of you are not game directors. Play mobile tetris if you don't wanna commit your time.

you guys really don't understand what makes making secondary characters feel bad do you. nobody cares about spending 2 extra seconds to get pantheons on a secondary character. I hate running the campaign that i never liked even the first time for the 500th time. just let us level with infinite delve atleast then there is some excitement and entertainment during leveling rather than a slog that im sleeping through and makes me only want to play one character per league.

Actually, it’s all of the above combined that is bad.. ( include lab runs in the list as well ).


Everyone is okay with “just lvling” “just lab” “just pantheons” “just …” Once you combine all of them as something you need to do on 2nd, 3rd and 4th char, you just stop enjoying the process.

For those that want to do only campaign once per league, how would you handle this in HC?
Some people are not able to beat the campaign without dying, this could be a "way too easy" shortcut for squichy characters.
Also there's the matter of the gear, if you finish acts on melee then make a reroll on ranger what gear do you start with? How do you even start mapping with a character that didn't go through the acts process to aquire a setup (gear + leveled gems + tree) that is playable?
I think alternate campaigns or leveling process could be cool for a change but there has to be something, it shouldn't be instant lvl 70.

In a way if you only want to test out some builds you could do that in standard, level one character per class and redo the tree + gear then you don't need to do acts. I think once you find a build you like you can commit to it for the league and play it for a long time.
Or maybe we could have a standalone sandbox just to test builds that wouldn't require to actually gear ingame?
