After the last friday live dev stream, Mike from EHG said that the campaign isn't done and won't be finished for the release of 1.0, missing 3 chapter from what you have now.
In your opinion, even if LE has one of the best skill tree system, crafting system, their new class are quite awesome and so on.
How publishing an ARPG game with an unfinishing campaign will harm the retention of the playerbase at launch ?
PoE has pretty good campaign even if after act 5 the player must return to already known territory. And even if the campaign represent less than 10% of what the game has to offer.
One of the only redeeming quality of D4 is its campaign and incredible cinematics.
Right now LE has a pretty good campaign, the voice acting is great with both incredible NPC and low point (the only one I remember is the bandit "lord" from the last act asking you to dethrone old bandit and helping you highjack a griffin to transport you to the "last" boss), the lore is deep enough for a launch, you can invest yourself in the story, BUT there is no conclusion to the story, you don't know how this multi temporal conflict is resolved yet.
And it's a BIG drowback, how a new player should be interested with the monolith system when the campaign itself isn't finished and you don't even know the fate of our own protagonist ?
I can see it be quite a black spot on anotherwise exceptionnal game.
