Biggest LIE in PoE HisStory

Without death penalty we would all just get lvl 100 in 50 hours (at most), and many of us just quit game for good after first maxed character.


Why do people always say this? Is this what you would do? Do you only do one build? Also, what's the problem with that even if it were true? People quit for all kinds of reasons, but if they achieve something, they might actually come back..

Death penalty drives you to try and improve your character.


It doesn't in the slightest. It's irritating and nothing else. Not being able to zerg drives you to improve. Having to actually do the whole fight rather than just 25% chunks or whatever a person might do until they kill the boss. Losing xp doesn't teach or give direction. It doesn't correct behavior or gear choice.
Dying shouldn't be "trivial". You should always try your best not to die. The game should force you to value both offenses and defenses. If the XP penalty got removed, "most" people wouldn't give a rats ass about dying. They wouldn't care about boss mechanics, but just entering the boss arena, DPS as much as they can until they die, rinse and repeat until they hopefully have enough portals to cheese the boss.

It's just ONE of a FEW things these days, that separate PoE from the casual clutter we see getting released these days. Absolutely nothing wrong with casual, but please; let PoE be a little bit different.

Well you loose a portal and if all portals are gone you often loose a lot of currency, which is already a big enough pentalty. I don't like the XP penalty aswell and it's often the reason i stop playing. My lvl 95 chars usually have between 80 and 130 deaths because i like to explore new content that kills me.

If i want a higher penalty i would play hardcore, but i don't want that, so i play softcore.



As a hardcore player who does NOT consider myself a super expert, I cant understand how come people die a lot in this game, considering the game has become so easy in the last years. Either you guys are doing something VERY WRONG or I am doing something VERY GOOD.
They can remove the death penalty from standard league. Then people that don't want death panalty can play as much as they want to and max as many characters as they want to and see how much fun they are having.

Death penalty is not a problem. The problem is the balance in the game when you are steamrolling everything and all of a sudden die from some bullshit spike damage. That's what needs to be looked at, not the death penalty.


If you are steamrolling everything and then suddenly die from something, it means you built a glasscannon build. Thats what glasscannon builds are. If you dont wanna die easily, BALANCE YOURSELF to have more defense and damage mitigation, also play the game smart and pay attention to what you are doing and the mods of the orange monsters (and the purple mobs) which are the most dangerous ones.

GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

So wait wait wait...

How can we see who agrees and who doesn't ? EZ - POLLS - fair ones with no bots - the vote should be per IP adress

AND

This is a troll thread cause i have 5 lvl 100s ?

If u even think for a second for urself, u will see the logic in it...

I have 5 of them, so in comparison to other people who stop at 95-97 i know what the freacking penalty feels like....just cause i know how to level up sustainable doesnt mean the penalty is ok...it should be 10% of the exp u have at the time of death, not of the entier exp REQUIRED but NOT GAINED yet.

I agree with the latter half of your post, but you're definitely wrong about the percentage of players that are awful at this game.

It's just, most of them quit before hitting level 85.

Is he being that straight out lie in the face ?

Just gives us option to make polls in forum, and after 1 week (so someone has time to cancel the spam bots votes) everyone will settle down to the well know truth.

AT LEAST 60-70% of players are complaining about the exp loss on death. PERIOD.

Just because 40-50 people who have a lot of followeres say it's ok, doesnt mean their followers agree, they just dont have the same voice power to be heard as ez as the liers.

NO ONE LIKES DEATH PENALTY - ITS A WELL KNOWN FACT.

NO ONE IS COMPLAINING ? the comunity thanks you for showing u dont know what ur comunity complains about...or likes.

I hate death penalty tbh. It's ok until 93'ish, but then it starts to invalidate more and more progress.
