[Feedback] Campaign - Choose Normal or Cruel Difficulty @ Character Selection Screen
|
I'm surprised more people wouldn't want a higher difficulty option for the campaign.

" why is that surprising to you? most people dont care about the campaign and just want to rush through it as fast as possible so they can start playing the end game. you and the 5 other people who keep asking to make the game harder and giga nerfing everything that people enjoy will always be the minority. |

Campaign difficulty this time around was definitely in a bad spot. I feel like they nerfed boss health AND damage to the point that you dont even get to enjoy any of Act IV's new bosses as they just fall over at that stage of progression.
Its something I think that can be worked on without a difficulty slider added, but it does need to be a bit more engaging than .3 was. Mash the clean

" You are weird. Anyways, no clue why people enjoy current campaign difficulty either, I'd not want a different difficulty as I already feel to isolated playing ssf, but it'd definietly be nice to see boss movesets again. I never got to enjoy them in act4 and it didn't feel the same finding them again in the endgame... |

" your name is orphanmutilator and I'm the weird one? :D |

We have hated the campaign for 13 years, for the absolute life of us we cannot FATHOM why GGG is POURING time, effort, and money, into what MANY of us consider "worthless".
The campaign is worthless. We wish the game didn't even have a goddamn campaign, and if we do, why on earth is it more than 3-4 hours? We are NOT here to enjoy the campaign. We do NOT enjoy the campaign whatsoever after the 2nd or 3rd time -- we have to endure this slog until they butcher the size of the acts and cut the time to complete to less than 5 hours. We are not here for the campaign. GGG was hoping a new customer base would have different ideas -- Nah, bad ideas are universal. ALl you newer POE 2 players don't realize you have the same complaints we do. It didn't matter that you were "new fans" that weren't "in love with how things were in POE 1" -- and you still want the same shit. Bad ideas are universal. Good ideas are universal. GGG disregards every single person but their CEO. |

" Yes you are. " I am here for the campaign, it's the best part of the game and wouldn't touch poe 1 for the life of me. They want new players, you are apparently not a new player. Just go play poe 1. Dernière édition par HTlYr6APGC#5834, le 29 sept. 2025 à 12:15:58

" I think the campaign is the best part of the game. " I don't think you speak for the majority. If that were the case, then most players are carebears. I guess I'm just an old school fart that likes Diablo 2 for the difficulty and hope PoE2 follows suit.  Dernière édition par CharlesJT#7681, le 29 sept. 2025 à 12:22:41

ff14 lets you pay like 15$ to skip the campaign and boost you to endgame.
I'd pay that in POE2 to skip the campaign too. I think alot of people would too. games like Last Epoch also have quick campaign mechanics once you beat it the first time. The thing with POE2 is that the endgame isn't fleshed out yet according to GGG. So they don't want to skip the only content that they worked hard on. It's kinda like skipping cinematics. Someone poured hours and money in making a cool cinematic, and we skip them everytime in every game. BUT we insist on having cool skippable cinematics. Just make a cool skippable campaign. |

" I'm trying to improve the campaign, you're trying to put the campaign in the dumpster. I think that viewpoint is the minority, and even if it wasn't, skippable campaign is a bad decision and contrary to GGG's vision for PoE2. Games that have skippable campaigns turn out to be trash, case in point D4. D2R doesn't have campaign skip and is the gold standard of arpgs for the last 25 years.
