The problem with Path of Exile's campaign is that it is dated, frustrating and unfun.
It pushes away new players with difficult instead of convincing them to play.
Maybe the pshchologists hired by the company that makes the game made a psychological profile of whales - and this allows good conversion. However they also wfite thwt they dont use data for decisions (just vibes) so it is not clear.
They seem to be lucky with no real competition apart from maybe Diablo3.
- rizzaxc 4y agoIf you treat the campaign as a separate single player game that expects you to finish in 10-15 hours and never have to run it again, it's less bad. That's how new players should feel about it. If they like the game to the point to repeat the campaign, obviously they're the target audience for the game (those like to play RPG with cheatsheets on the side) and can deal with the campaign the "proper" way. I'm not saying they shouldn't fix the campaign though, but anything that we do 100 times over will be boring so I'm not sure what they can do
