Xp loss isnt needed in 2022
|
Its fun to progress through the higher tiers but the risk of losing xp deter's from it.
I hate to say this, but diablo3 is more fun for me than poe now, even though poe is a much better game. I usually get to 95 each league on some char, but ive realized im not enjoying the journey anymore. Id prefer to do sirus when i have 80% xp, but content is limited by the xp loss. Im only 87 but starting to feel it already, lag/bs or whatever. People would enjoy your content alot more if they werent punished by trying it Last bumped on Feb 17, 2022, 3:57:28 AM

" Some people, sure. Others prefer a game where decisions are meaningful & have consequences. To play devil’s advocate - if there’s no XP loss, should new characters automatically be level 100? (Why / why not?) |

" That isnt a very good analogy. There are consequences, you lose all your portals. Why would you be auto lvl'd to 100? If your claiming its easy to get to 100 id ask you to unlock your profile so i can see your chars. At 95+ xp is very slow, most people wont have the patience to do the same thing over and over (usually the same map/rota) to make it to 100. Assuming you play poe, you dont find content being locked based on your xp bar? The game isnt nearly the same as it was when it began If people wanna flex in a video game, there is hardcore or the upcoming hard mode. People should feel like they enjoyed the time spent playing, not lose ground. |

I feel it's easy to get to 100 as is.

i do not want exp loss removed, i would be ok with some way to avoid it at a cost.
a farmable consumable item or buff that can be charged up and used. if you truly want to get to level 100 easily, equip all of teh % exp gear you can and build a pure tank and then simply party while watching youtube all the way to 100 easy peasy.. then reroll your character and enjoy.

" That’s failing to progress, which isn’t the same as losing progression. " If you get XP while playing and never lose XP, levelling up is effectively automatic - or at the very least, guaranteed. At that point, what is the point of it at all? " If I was claiming it was easy, why would I care about what little challenge is there being removed? That it isn’t easy is the entire point. " So you don’t need to be level 100… Sounds like a prime opportunity to have an optional reward (basically just a number in the UI) to reward people for playing particularly well, or alternatively to give people an optional goal to pursue by playing differently. If it’s not necessary, it doesn’t need to be given out for free. " There are no repair costs in PoE. All currency you earn is profit. You inherently advance when playing.

" Well, my friend, that's a fallacy. As soon as one reaches 100, decisions are no longer meaningful as there are no consequences. See, long term your beloved xp penalty achieves exactly NOTHING, except for turning away some folks who otherwise might have stuck around longer. P.S. This comes from someone who's got lvl 100 chars and has done 40/40. |

" You appear to be arguing that a temporary benefit may as well not exist at all, which isn’t a perspective I’m inclined to share. Your post also just reads unnecessarily hostile… |

You can die every single map you run and still easily get level 95 or 96% of your potential skillpoints and power.
How is that ok? We should be able to lose entire levels if we fuck up and die. Is everyone too young to remember what a Game Over screen is supposed to mean? The death penalty in PoE hasn't been working in years, I cannot believe there's even people arguing for removing the tiny and ridiculous ruins that are left of this important design pillar. Perception is reality. Last edited by widardd#5398 on Feb 10, 2022, 6:21:37 PM

" +100 to this. Parts of this community honestly disgust me at times. The amount of pushback you see against any system requiring the tiniest amount of brainpower or active engagement is absolutely ridiculous (see: literally any thread complaining about Archnemesis mod combinations being too hard to work out and remember). Too many years of casual/easy games have brainwashed an entire generation into thinking total victory is an entitlement, not something earned by overcoming a challenge, and they throw a temper tantrum every time the build they copied from YouTube doesn't AFK-kill the endgame. I saw a thread not too long ago where someone was complaining about having to read expedition remnants (can you imagine the horror of having to READ!?). This was a grown adult unironically making the argument that reading was too hard and had no place in a videogame. I genuinely have no idea how someone who is ostensibly a rational human being can complain about some of this stuff and not just be overwhelmed by shame. Thank you and Sarno for giving me hope.
