The breachlord's Hive

So.......

I just tried the new Breachlord boss incounter in this season...

I died once learning the small mechanics it has....ported back in to my map, LIKE YOU DO (6 portals) - Had to run through the hiveborn area up to its Arena....thinking...."hmm why couldn’t i place a portal just outside the arena entrance....this doesn’t make sense....oh well"
Killed the boss faily easy…saw loot and "quest item" (for the monastary) drop….BUT I died due to some DOT I coudnt see on me (my own fault) – but I was happy and ported back in just to find……………………….

The hiveborn area is the not there anymore??? – Is this for real? – I mean I quit playing POE 2 because of this moronic mechanic GGG had decided was a good idea….sure - Give the player 6 chances (one chance until they kinda changed it) to kill the boss, but should you DARE to die after the boss has been killed….nope lets show you what you missed out on and then give you the middle finger”……..I mean there is NO logic to having this mechanic in ANY way, shape or form, when you are NOT playing hardcore. Also what if your inventory is full when you kill the boss….you cant port to your stash or anything…. (i know this is ONLY qol ^^)

I know there will be certain individuals that are going to try to defend this with all kinds of BS - to all of you I say…..that is what HARDCORE mode is for. - And no other encounters works like this in the game…If you die you can still get access to that area, as long as you have portals for it….Imagine fighting Maven and dying after you finally killed it….just to see the loot drop, but you cant get back into the area to get it…..what is the point of this??? – again I am NOT playing on hardcore mode…and POE has never had this kind of mechanic

I sincerely hope that this is NOT the way it is intended and a huge oversight...Otherwise I might have to get psychiatric help tomorrow xD

Again...people who don't agree with my assesment, I understand you and respect your opinion...but go play hardcore and don't expect EVERYONE else to be fine with those types of mechanics....
