The one thing people who like the "skip leveling" never answer - what tier of maps are they comfortable to be dropped at with freshly created lvl1 character that is twink this "league"?

Or which size the "Win" button on twink character creation screen should be

As someone who averages 4 characters a league in PoE, I’m as sick as anyone of running the same campaign over and over, but scaling down the end game so it works at level one seems like a good way to burn players out and have them quit early. If I am stuck doing the same thing from level 1 to 100, I’ll probably bail before I even hit 90.

Its that. Because unlike what people think

Setec_Astronomy posted:

because the character you're building usually doesn't function at all until like level 85 stop picking bad builds

USUALLY people don't know what they actually want so giving them what they need is better. That's good game design.
Because people in poe, for example, already have an option to do campaign in 3 hours or less, with twink gear even faster.
But no that's :effort:, people "want mindlessly" spam t0 maps or some poo poo until they ???? burnout at level 50
People don't realise that all that power they blast maps through with comes way later. Regularly after 32+ skills/uniques, ascendancy or two and before that its a loving slog that will kill their desire to play even faster than the obligatory "ohmygawd acts again"

LE's campaign is better than most but it's still forcing you do the exact same layouts every time, following the exact same routes, mashing through the same conversation, watching through the same unskippable setpieces, etc.

The fact that LE's layouts are pregen and not procgen must be next level of boring

This is extreme PoE brain. Most people can't complete the campaign in 3 hours, even with twink items


Yeah picking up singular wisdoms and transmutes in a7 and not having quicksilver flask up most of the time does that.
As much as just doing full clear of zones. Or afking. IDing all the rares and going back and forth to town to vendor thrice per zone.

If a person is able to play "hideout floor is lava", that person can be as fast in campaign as in maps

NPR Journalizard posted:

How? You need to get sulphite from somewhere.

On your second and forth characters each league, sulphite and depths are shared but not one person does this shortcut because lol, campaign is faster

Volte posted:

Hating a mandatory repetitious campaign is totally understandable but I'm trying and failing to imagine why someone would play an ARPG if they hate the very concept of levelling.

I try to understand people personally because I hate arpgs and I love poe for the variability and replayability.
No other game outside eve online, albion online and pathofexile cater to my creative tastes. And I equally hate all 3 of these.
Then again, a marvel when your poe build starts to function, "clicks" together during leveling or later is yet another neat itch to be scratched.

Because whats in the maps? Endless maps aka repetitive content, doing same old kill mobs, next zone? Hows that different from campaign?
But no maps are diff~ Okay.
Yet again I ask same question, what size should be "WIN" button on character creation screen and at what map tier new twink characters should be dropped?

Leveling itself isn't the issue. It's that everything up until a certain point (level 50, world tier 3, campaign completion, whatever) doesn't matter. You're playing an inconsequential side mode to the real game and you have to do it every season because reasons.

Where does the "real game" start and why is it there?

It is, sadly. One of the things I wish they'd change since the build to getting your mastery is the most boring part of the game.

I said I don't mind replaying the campaign but if they don't want to allow respeccing mastery, it would be nice if they allowed a jump to getting your mastery and having 20 points available in your main skill for people who have already advanced a character of that class that far

Its sad tbh, for all the "respecs are basically free" and then a wall.
Welp, legacy broken builds still there so :v

I also rolled a falcon rogue today and had the same experience., minus the LE-61. It starts to feel so much better once you get explosive trap. The little ping sounds when you use it tickle the neurons. Also it kills the poo poo out of things. Although, still not as easy-breezy as my warlock.

Its p funny to load into an instance with boss half-dead and still in grace period. Falconer seems way too powerful
