Death Penalty - XP Loss Is To Much
Yup, the death penalty is the reason I quit the game right after 3.0. I had some thoughts of coming back when they released the map stash tab, but then I remembered this issue and said to myself: "fuck it, I'm not gonna spend any more money on something I don't enjoy".
For me bottom line is this: I will inevitably die at some point during end game, whether it's by running easy content which will literally bore me to death by making me lose my focus, or running hard content where there will be some unavoidable deadly damage spike. Despite my best efforts I was unable to find some middle ground where I can just play the game, have fun, and still progress towards a goal, all at the same time. At the end of a week of playing, the feeling I was left with was that I was simply wasting my time going through the same kind of experience with nothing to show for it. |

Losing XP on death is an old mechanic. Get with the times GGG. It's 2018. No one cares if you reach max level these days.

" That is a completely ridiculous, absurd and utterly stupid *excuse* here, it's kind of baffling really. It's not because people are getting used to be assisted in many ways, especially in games that GGG needs to catter to that kind of crowd completely and screw the rest. You die too much and can't progress anymore ? well ... "git gud", it's very simple. The problem isn't the game. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

There's nothing wrong with it if you die than it's most of the time your fault as the previous poster has stated.
Git gud. I died at 99 right now cuz I stood in a lightning mirage while talking to Alva I wasn't thinking that's entirely my fault. Dys an sohm

" I was answering to the implicit claim that the penalty allows for more build diversity. Sure, I can choose to play a sub-optimal build, but the harsher the penalty for doing so, the less of an option it is. |

" Sure, let's dismiss the whole thread altogether, and whatever good and reasonable points have been made, just because OP isn't up to whatever standards you have. Very constructive. |
