Spikes in activity are the norm for new leagues, Player retention is actually how we define the success of a league. But yeah so far it's looking good, especially now that some number tuning's been done.

Well yeah.. It's a good league and the path of exile 2 news has gotten plenty of people interested.

Do they still make you redo the campaign for leagues? I know some people will say “following x guide you can skip the campaign in ONLY 3 hours” or some shit but I’ll pass.

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yeah they do. It's not like you have any cutscenes or excessive dialogs to sit through. It's just going from place to place, gaining items and leveling, very much like the game after the acts.

Clearing the campaign is basically getting to level 65, and having the general shape of your build running.

This league is extra nice thanks to a free movement speed buff from one of the league tree passives.

Eh, there’s something mind numbing about having to redo the campaign. Go to town, speak to guy, find item for guy in some random cave, repeat at new town. Zero chance to get any loot or make any real progress I’d care about.

I also usually made a camping speed then swap to a mid/end build.

I got to act 10 kitava at over lvl 70 and realized I had cleared zones more than I meant to, but I also had an issue with a monitor cable giving out on me that caused my game to lock up and boot me to log in, I had just killed shav right before the depraved trinity fight, and so I had to go back through 2 zones to get there again... lots of xp, but very annoying.
