I think 1 required campaign playthrough per league would be fine, any additional characters in league should give you the option to bypass if you so wish.
I AM FREEEEEE. They are finally letting me out of the Tower
Headhunter is guaranteed best in slot for any zoomy character, which is all of them. Also afaik most monster mods are generic +damage/health/etc, work on any character.So what's the big draw of headhunter? I mean, the taking on rare enemies modifiers is a cool gimmick, but since it's always changing it doesn't seem like you could really build around it.
Ah, so the idea is you'll be killing rare enemies often enough where you always have some bonuses going on, I guess that makes sense. 20 seconds is a long time in POE i guess.Headhunter is guaranteed best in slot for any zoomy character, which is all of them.

Do you not recognize the insanity of having hundreds of hours of diverse content and forcing everyone to repeat the same 10 for every char? Are you that far up their asshole?Removing the campaign would be a colossal cop out. It would cheapen the whole experience for both the players and the developers. It's much better for everyone involved if the developer tries hard to make the campaign more enjoyable for repeat playthroughs. Which is what they are doing with like 50% of their workforce. I can't see GGG letting you opt-out of the campaign in any way for a looooong ass time after putting so much effort into the new campaign.
If you don't enjoy the campaing but still need 10 hours for it, you fucking suck. Especially on subsequent characters with twink gear. Why should I listen to the likes of you? I'd much rather err on the side of GGG, who have proven over time that they are more competent and committed than most other developers out there.Do you not recognize the insanity of having hundreds of hours of diverse content and forcing everyone to repeat the same 10 for every char?

lmaoGGG, who have proven over time that they are more competent and committed than most other developers out there.
So... I should get better at something I don't enjoy? And using twink gear doesn't it make it an absolutely worthless piece of content?If you don't enjoy the campaing but still need 10 hours for it, you fucking suck.

I couldn't care less about their development process, just what I see implemented in the game. D3 does it better even though it has much less content.Like, how far up your own ass do you have to be to really think that you have figured out the development of this game more than the Devs themselves? Do you have an example of your own competence somewhere? Do you have an example of a game that does it better?
Thank you for parroting some promo materials.Regardless. The campaign is here to stay and the new one will have a more open structure, allowing for more varied playthroughs. Doesn't even matter what you or I think. It would require some colossal drop off in revenue for GGG to reconsider their stance regarding the campaign.
Besides, if your arguement is truly "muh diverse content", then why are you feeling the need to reroll? Isn't the new character supposed to be the thing that is keeping you engaged with all new skill progression? Past Act V you start getting multiple random mechanics pile on top of eachother already.
A wise man once said: "If you don't enjoy the normal progression of a character up until end-game, which is the bread and butter of an ARPG, then this genre is simply not for you." Just do what T.Reich did and play Dark Souls instead. I hear it is a great game.
If you don't enjoy improving, that's a you problem. If you don't enjoy character progression of your the character you have chosen to play, that's also a you problem. Let me get this straight: you don't like the early progression, but you also don't like feeling overpowered for a couple of hours while zooming through the story and you also refuse to improve your leveling speed? Why the fuck should anyone try to please you?So... I should get better at something I don't enjoy? And using twink gear doesn't it make it an absolutely worthless piece of content?
A broken clock is still right twice a day. Early net code implementation was widely regarded as the main issue holding PoE back and from what I understand a technical issue, not a design philosophy.You can find in the early pages of this thread I called them retards for refusing to implement normal networking and guess what I was right (like most of the playerbase) and they were wrong.
ahahahahahahaha DEE THREEEE ahahahahahahaI couldn't care less about their development process, just what I see implemented in the game. D3 does it better even though it has much less content.
No problem, D3-fan reddit-man. If you would just unstick your head from your ass from time to time, you would notice that GGG is trying to address your concern.Thank you for parroting some promo materials.
Game isn't balanced around SSF. You are doing this to yourself. If you don't enjoy the regular progression of a new character, then ARPGs aren't for you.Cause using same fucking skill for hundreds of hours gets boring and due to ascendancies another build is not just an expensive respec away like it was at start of poe. When I have time I do 2-3 90-95 chars per league and I play SSF simply because trading is retarded (another great example of GGG devs knowing better).
Game isn't balanced around SSF
You are actually way more dense than I realized if you don't even see the distinction between not enjoying same linear campaign for the nth time and not enjoying early progression. Progressing chars is fun, that's one of the main reason people play these games. Having to speed through it because it's forcefully tied to same linear content and required to "unlock" the rest of the game is the dumb part.If you don't enjoy improving, that's a you problem. If you don't enjoy character progression of your the character you have chosen to play, that's also a you problem. Let me get this straight: you don't like the early progression, but you also don't like feeling overpowered for a couple of hours while zooming through the story and you also refuse to improve your leveling speed?

There was no technical issue, just their dumbfuck "vision".A broken clock is still right twice a day. Early net code implementation was widely regarded as the main issue holding PoE back and from what I understand a technical issue, not a design philosophy.
Yes, game isn't balanced around SSF. It's balanced around trade, trade that is so badly implemented it makes people not want to interact with it. The reason trade is terrible? Yet again their "vision".Game isn't balanced around SSF. You are doing this to yourself. If you don't enjoy the regular progression of a new character, then ARPGs aren't for you.
I think if you call Kjaska an asshole some more and maybe insult a few other people then GGG will definitely allow you to bypass the campaign in the future.
Now, I've got a problem with a few IRS regulations. I don't know anyone who works for the IRS or makes policy for them, so I'm just gonna scream my frustrations at you and blame you for it because that's how absolute retards get shit done.Let me guess you regularly go to sport bars and tell people there sports are shit?
Cry and scream and whine all you want, the campaign isn't likely to go anywhere (and it'd probably kill the game if they did let you skip it).
I mean, you obviously know better than them anyway, why waste your genius on GGG and path of exile? Just make your own game without a campaign, do networking right, and retain a playerbase for years and years. Then you can come and gloat at all the retards who doubted you.
retarded shit.
You forgot to AlTeRnAtE cApS to illustrate you're doing a "retard voice".It's integral to early character progression, there's clearly no other path. If you don't agree with every single action GGG takes then why are you even playing their game? They clearly know better. Now excuse me I must go and replay the campaign for the 6 millionth time on autopilot with my twinked trade gear to make it go faster.
If you are so wise why don't you make your own game huh? huhhuhhuh?!
Sorry I didn't realize defending GGG was THIS serious of business for you.At least abija has the balls to spell out his complaint, rather than just hiding behind someone and mocking an argument nobody made. His complaint is stupid, but still, it's something.
