Path of Exile 2

Do you have to repeat the campaign on every character, every season like POE 1?
Because Its what made me quit plying POE1.
It just gets so boring.

Yes, and why would that be any different than grinding dungeons over and over to level up like in D4? Pretty sure spamming dungeons would be 10x more boring lol.

You don't grind dungeons to level in D4 seasons, you grind Helltides.:AetherRay:
Yes, get over it
d4 campaign is same stuff as like endgame, you ride arround the open world and do stuff.

d3 is you can skip all campaign and get to max level in like 2 hours and then get a set which says 732643254823238450385742304 dmg with X skill, so you never have to think about what to use.

how would that work in poe like in d3 ? It wouldnt.

Doing like only breach events till 60-70 that wouldnt work either cause you cant even handle those events and everything would have to be dumbed downed so much, so the player can understand what is happening with gear and skills in a far shorter time range without learning like everything you learn during campaign, every new player would be 100% stuck.

those things without campaign and time to learn only works for games without much choice and differences like Diablo4Bad or for seasoned gamers who know everything.

but if you are a seasoned gamer, the story takes you only 10% of the time a beginner would need, so what are we even talking about at this point?

Yes.

Though personally while SLOWER you could just stick to the same character. It just makes doing seasons harder as they get jumbled up with other seasons.

Isn't every season a fresh character?

Yes.

I think what they're getting at is eventually many of the season mechanics make their way to standard. So eventually you'll get some form of that seasonal content even if you just stick to standard and don't play seasons.

Usually the most popular seasonal mechanics make it to standard. Some never go to standard, though. And even when they get to standard, it's usually a modified version of the mechanic compared to what it was in the season.

You don't have to. Lets pretend there was only 5 seasons.

You could make a new character who is in season 5... They will only get season 5 events.

Or you can use your previous characters and you will get events from all 5 seasons. Which can take quite a while because you've diluted your pool.

But this is just how it was explained to me.

You cant play a new season with old characters. There is seasonal and standard realm, when season ends your character transfers to standard. Seasonal gets all content in Standard + the full-powered seasonal content. Only some of the season mechanics go to standard, but its usually a couple seasons afterwords and its usually heavily nerfed. Standard is always behind.

I feel like your comment is going to mislead people, because it isn't accurate. There is a default Standard league, this is where all characters go at the end of a League/Season. You cannot login to a character that was in a previous league and continue to play that character in that league. You can login to them, but they will be in Standard league. There is an exception to this for Early Access, in which Early Access characters are going to be locked into their own Early Access league, and will not interact with non early access characters when the game launches.

When leagues end, there is a chance the developers will integrate them into the Core game, but even if they do, you will not experience them at the same frequency or rate at which they were the league mechanic focus. They may also choose to not integrate them, or to delay until they've tweaked it.

The most populated, and fresh content will always be the leagues.
The campaign is like 25+ hours long right? So, we need to spend that much time to get to the end game every new character/seasons? :lunar2019laughingpig:
They don't really value your time, never have.

You get way faster on future Characters during a season, for onces you know what to do plus all the leveling gear you got.
Even in future Seasons you will get faster on fresh chars since you are more knowledgable about the game.
While a new player in PoE1 probably also takes 30+ hours completing the campaign, the vets are doing that usually in under 10
The campaign is part of the game, it's designed with care to be replayable, and designed to be part of your character's power journey. Getting better and faster at the campaign is also a skill that they want to test you with. Gradually improving your campaign clear times with every new character is its own skill progression and will greatly reward you with the start of every league. It is an inseparable part of PoE.

I find it hard to word things in a way that people who know way less than me would understand, so I don't usually try, but seeing absolutely dogwater takes and even comparisons to D4, a game with a deliberately story-focused and cinematic filled campaign that was designed as a movie and NOT a piece of replayable and rewarding game content (and thus was designed to be skipped), just compels me to at least come here and state some basic wisdom, even if the plebs who need to hear it won't listen to me.

If you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at the game and literally incapable of learning things then yes, but I'd wager in that case you'd get filtered before you hit Act 1 Cruel.
find something you enjoy playing, video games shouldn't be tedious
Yep and twice now on each class untill they add the other 3 acts.

Ye a this is why I expected something like PvP to make the race to get to max level more competitive and meaningful. and with decent PvP they wouldn't need to reset...but they just think that's a good idea and this is now a game model. Just reset guys. What even is progression.
Do you really have to play this game tho?
