Neither game is nearly fun enough to ignore all the feedback regarding unskippable campaigns.

Right. Obvious troll is now obvious.

Whatever, fren. In a week and a half we'll be eating good in the new campaign drop for PoE2. Enjoy it or don't, I really don't think anyone cares. Keep carping on about campaign skips, so GGG can continue ignoring you. They've answered this question a hundred times, and have way bigger fish to fry with their new game only a handful of days from its initial release.

bro most people do not have an issue with playing through the campaign. There is not other real option to get you into endgame.

Right, and they can add choice or make the campaign more fun.

So I see you've now moved the goalpost from the game not being fun enough to the campaign. Good, at least now you have a sliver of a point, not quite though.

Firstly, poe2 campaign is not even finished yet and you personally have seen a bit of what is complete. To judge whether it is fun/unfun based on that is... misguided to put it mildly.

Secondly, it's been explained to you multiple times - they do not want you to skip the campaign, period - get it through your head and stop repeatedly pleading for it.

Jonathan has stated that he wants the poe2 campaign to be more fun and change on further playthroughs, how far they will go with this only time can tell. Right now they need to focus on finishing the game and fleshing out the endgame, not solving 'problems' that do not exist yet and won't for a considerable time (unless you plan to get 'bored' with campaign after 1 playthrough in which case this is not a game for you).

Thirdly - please understand that I don't intend for this to come off as mean - but contrary to what your parents taught you - you're not that important. Live service games focus their design priorities on things that matter to the majority, not individuals like you. You can keep throwing tantrums like a child, or grasp that simple reality of life.

i understand the hate on poe 1 campaign but poe 2 campaign is amazing there is no way you will already hate campaign on the first few times you will do it

I would like a system, where once you finish campaign in a league once you can get additional char with campaign unlocked. Or maybe make it so that you can have 2 chars in one, like go to npc and get alternative skill tree and ascendencis (even with another class). I think 1 alt is enough to satisfy most. I usually play 2-3 chars in a league and i think would ennjoy it way more to save 5-6 boring hours per char to get it done.

You haven't even played the bloody game..

GGG wants to keep making a new character a little bit of work. And i love them for it.
There are other games with Skip campaign or other options:

Diablo4: After the last update now, it is again just a joke to make a new character with max level 60 and shared paragon.

Last Epoch: When you prepare yourself well and go through the dungeons etc., it is also very easy and fast to level up a new character.

I like both of these games but there is a reason why POE is my absolute favorite, because you need more effort and now you ask for an option to have less of it. You say, you do not care whatever else the system would be like but you want it to be "less boring". So i wonder what is it that makes it boring to you? I can only assume it is the effort it takes. Because any other system would be much easier to jump to higher difficulties to level faster. I am glad they refuse to do because it would be against the core of what most people love about POE.

I played the campaign so many times and no, it was not pure fun all the time but i focused on learning to play it more and more efficient over the years and i am happy now to be able to beat it faster than before. These are the kind of achievements i want to get out of a game like POE. Being rewarded for learning the mechanics and find ways to improve. And not to get easy way out systems so i do not have to.

I get that y'all like to ask streamers, who functionally get paid to play through the campaign ad infinitum, about it. They're wrong though.

Like I'm actually in awe of how they managed to functionally repackage the entire game and leave this unaddressed. It beggars belief. There was a short amount of time when GGG was saying they were going revise how people get ascendancies that looked like they were going to be making moves to address all the feedback about the unskippable campaign but then they took an abrupt left turn about all of that and here we are, another year without it being addressed.

You mean to tell me you come up with 40 unique challenges each league and can not come up with a way to unlock some way to streamline the leveling campaign? People literally funded and tested every feature in this upcoming game for you and you can't even bother to listen to them when they're telling you things?

I get that y'all like to ask top FROZEN ORB SORCS and BURIZA-ZONS, who functionally get paid to MAGICFIND through the campaign ad infinitum, about it. They're wrong though.

You mean to tell me you come up with 40 BAAL RUNS each LADDER RESET and can not come up with a way to unlock some way to streamline the DEN OF EVIL? People literally funded THE BATTLE CHEST and tested every ZEAL BUILD in this upcoming game for you and you can't even bother to listen to them when they're telling you things?

More strawmen, yay.
