Seriously GGG... im tired of dying to bullsh*t.

Play crit Bladefall - anything that moves near the edge of the screen gets melted. I melt things that MAYBE there.

be glad you dont play hardcore lol

I always laugh when folks complain about the xp penalty

ya, i do play only hardcore and i can say its frustrating as hell.

most recent death:
L50 everything was going great! soloed fine through to cruel act 3 no signs of trouble. well i got to slums and noticed.. "well, damn these guys are hitting kinda hard."

so i decided to go back to act 2 and work on the whole "clear the exteriors" thing while looking around for gear.

so i cleared out cross roads and all was good. then i moved on to broken bridge. almost had it all cleared and then.... ::splat:: my life shot from 1.2k down to 0 in less than 2 seconds with no time to react. what was it? if i had to guess it was puncture. only thing i saw on screen was a few ranged mobs.

still, for it to kill me that fast without any way to defend myself IS the definition of BS. i was playing, at the time, a shadow with high evasion and some energy shield. so... no armor mitigation.

i admit the previous deaths this season were completely my fault for stupid things like going to kill dominus without max resists. not this one though.

Let's be fair guys. The fact is, that you can die from off screen attacks. Many mobs has far more range attacks that you can see on screen. And that is really not fair.

Yep. When you slaughter countless monsters without any kind of retaliation whatsover, it is fair. But when they manage to kill you by some dirty offscreen trick in their limited and documented arsenal, it is not. GGG, fix your game by giving us God Mode.

Time and time again, this game finds absolutely ridiculous ways to punish/kill players and not in the fun Dark Souls kind of way where you can learn and adapt to, but instead in a WTF FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME GGG kind of way.

I could literally list 1000 ways that I've died to absolute, beyond my control, fucking bogus deaths in this game and I think I've finally had it. I just died because an off-screen revenant casted detonate dead on a pack that i had just cleared and had to walk through to get into the next room. Like - I CANT SEE THE FUCKING REVENANT OR ANY SIGN THAT THE COPRSES WILL EXPLODE SO HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!?! Absolute fucking bullshit death and theres nothing I could have fucking done. I encounter this exact type of bullshit at least 10+times a week playing PoE.

Normally, I dont care because Once i hit lvl 90-92 I stop caring about exp but after trying to give 93 a run (With 300ex+ fucking gear) Im beyond frustrated at the 10 times-12 times I'ved died to shit that couldnt be controlled for or prevented.

FUCK THIS GAME AND THE XP PENALTY.


Sincerely, a fucking frustrated 3 year PoE veteran on the verge of uninstalling

I really do agree with you. I am level 91 , have died 184 times .
Its my second character so i kept track of my deaths with this one.

184 total deaths :

122 deaths :
bullshit scenarios like : lag , box opening and lag or freeze mod on box even if i use the remove freeze potion = still frozen . reflect off screen( extremely ridiculous ) . And lastly imo bullshit is overtuned monster crit 1 shotting both physical and elemental .

41 deaths :
Story mode bosses : Particulary Dominus and Malachai , Kaom and daresso killed me a lot too, I kept story mode bosses in a seperate death count since i had to suicide kill them when i was at 0 % in xp bar right after i had leveled up . Going in try to do some dps and then die , go in again repeat . It was my only strategy at the time when i was undergeared to progres further .

21 deaths : my own fault , like playing stupidly or not carefully enough.

Story mode bosses and my own fault deaths equals to 62 total and the bullshit scenario deaths is almost twice as much with 122 deaths ,although dom and malachai has overtuned dps imo i counted them in my own end deaths.

So for me the xp penalty doesn't feel fair . I get only pissed when i die of stupid things that should not happen in this game both technically and unbalanced monsters .

OP how do you explain that some people consistently reach lvl 100 or very high lvl in HC? Give it a thought...

I came to the thread hoping this was a legit complain about performance/server issues but I find this. Disappointed.

P.S: I play both HC and sC, more HC over my PoE-career than SC. When I start to reach higher levels in SC I tend to play very similarly to HC, most of my deads playing SC where totally avoidable and I knew I was risking dying when I did something that caused me to die.

The so-called "bullshit deaths" are more often than not exaggerated, it can happen but rarely does.

i guess this was directed to me .

I will reach level 100 someday , but you call bullshit deaths rarely is flat out wrong , i have kept pen and paper when playing beside me and written down my deaths . I was kinda irritated how my first character marauder died of so many lag deaths so i wanted to check how bad it really was with my second character. I posted my results and thats what the results are atm .

How they reached level 100 , i guess they respec into very tanky perhaps after level 85-90. Boring gameplay but it is what it is if you want to get to level 100 ( atleast consistently )
At least how i did it in simular games . i havent tried hardcore in poe but it doesnt interest me to try either , i have done that enough in other games . And i have a great time playing my witch anyway in softcore , sure its annoying moments in the game but its also good moments. In case you wondered yes my witch is pretty tanky , but she is also a damage dealer kinda well rounded character .

anyway my post was meant as constructive critisism but i guess it probably dont look like that .

10/10 salt-delivery for my popcorn.
Cheers dude ;)

Yeah you can play at 5% speed like a noob that just started playing hc, or you can take a look what some people like hvc/etup etc are doing and how they are moving around when playing solo,


or even better yet just record yourself play and when you die view what you fucked up and learn from the mistakes.
