POE1 has the perfect campaign pacing.

Playing POE1 again after 2 seasons in POE2 and I have to say the speed in POE1 esp. in the early levels is PERFECT!

It simply feels more fluent and not as sluggish as in POE2.

My level 11 Witch with 10MS boots feels way better than my endgame T16 Warrior in POE2 in terms of movement fluidity....In POE2 I always have the feeling that my character has very sticky chewing gums on his shoe soles while walking through liquid tar. ^^

Same for fights...while in POE2 fights (esp boss fights) are way to tedious during campaing in POE1 they simply feel good....They can also be challanging here and there but don't feel like a naked Dark Souls playthrough.

In POE2 the difficulty seem kinda reversed....during campaign the game is super challanging but as soon as we enter red maps the game becomes to trivial....seems something went wrong with the balance here.

Ofc we don't want zoom zoom endgame in POE2 as in POE1, but it would be nice to adjust the speed (mob & char speed) and the early difficulty and bring it on par with the one we have in POE1 bcs the early game in POE1 is simply PERFECT!

And in return buff the endgame difficulty, so it's not the 1-tap fiesta we currently have and more the challange of the current campaign difficulty with tense & challanging fights even with decent endgame gear.

Thanks in advance. :)
