I think it doesn't have to be an overly complicated additional mode. If you don't want to play the story over and over again, then just jump into maps that are scaled down to story levels.
Exactly this.
I just can't understand or begin to comprehend, why humanity, and especially on the Internet, have such a black/white, all or nothing mentality. Yes, Diablo III sucked in general but the adventure mode was great. No, we aren't saying ditch the campaign entirely, but there are other ways to level and there's already a few ideas suggested here.
I think that’s a very valid take. It’s just that these games like D3 and 4 were so bad that when you see some of those systems executed there it’s an almost natural response to be apprehensive towards them. But if you take a step back and see the big picture then sure, some of those systems could be good in a vacuum. Like adventure mode for example. I could easily see a world where PoE2 had that mode with its own balance, drops, market, etc. Because let’s be real, we are not the same target audience.
Yeah, you are right. Just because D3 and D4 suck in general, it doesn't mean they didn't do some things right. This doesn't mean that POE or POE2 is close to perfect. No reason to cut out good mechanics regardless of source. Heck, I think Last Epoch is garbage overall but it doesn't mean it did sometimes right, especially skills/classes overall
