So since you're SO stuck on this literacy problem of yours, I'll try repeating myself: "This century" means from either the year 2000 or 2001-onward.

And yes, this means all the games you mentioned did come out this century. You somehow assumed I was trying to discount them, rather than point out that apparently you didn't know a damn thing about those games and they're nothing like what you're claiming.

And if you'd played Diablo 2 at all, you'd know you got almost all your lost EXP (IIRC, 90%) back by simply clicking your corpse. Hell, if you didn't want any trouble, you relogged, and your corpse was there right back in town! You'd just click it, get your EXP and items back, and be on your way.

Similarly, Dark Souls... If you'd ever played it, you'd know you can just go re-collect your souls again. Not that you can actually lose progress back to the beginning of your character level, since you typically SPEND them almost as soon as you get them (or at least when you get back to a bonfire)

And thank you for mentioning Diablo 3. For a moment I was almost afraid that it was just that you were so bad at the other two games that you'd never managed to do anything other than string deaths together. Diablo 3 has zero EXP loss on death.

But yeah, keep up, and eventually you might get a taste of the real endgame in PoE, too.

Yeah, you recover most of your EXP upon collecting your corpse. I guess it might be 75%? I wasn't fully certain, only that it was DEFINITELY a vast majority. A HUGE cry from "Yeah, nothing."

Also worth noting that the loss is far smaller in D2 to begin with; going even from level 98-99 could be done in less than an hour. (thank you, Baal, for being monster level 99, while Shaper is level 77.7.)

D3 also removed the EXP penalty pretty damn early in its development; I do believe it didn't even make it into the beta, much less the official release. Seems that even Blizzard recognized it as a dumb idea. So you'd figure that if someone THAT BAD (since hating on Blizzard is so popular to do around here) you'd figure smarter companies could do it as well.

The point right now is that Path of Exile isn't like any other successful game in existence.

No. Then tanky builds in SC wont exist because high damage and clear speed will be everything. The penalty has to stay.

I make tanky characters in every league. I don't want to play a 4k HP ranger but this will be the absolute best way if exp penalty was removed.
