The 50% exp penalty is great and should go core!

Title. I feel like this is exactly what this game needed in contrast to how stupid easy it is to level nowadays. Not only feels leveling up more rewarding, it also incentivises a more strategic and refined approach when it comes to blasting maps. The new penalty in combination with a much harsher exp curve past level 95 would be a well welcomed change and I am sincerely hoping they have something similar in mind for PoE2.

Hoho.

A different exp curve is much needed since several leagues with the current power creep.

Hope they also start to alpha test the PoE2 anti logout macro and portal tech in PoE1 at some point. Would be quiet benefits for both sc and hc to spice up the gameplay some hoho

hoho no.

Jings, crivvens, and help ma boab.

Hoho.

hoho I wouldn't be against it.

tbh the only reason people want to be level 100 is to get listed x'D

Lots of people wouldn't notice the difference.

Either you are farming, in which case you probably almost never die.

Or you are bossing, in which case you die enough 15 or 50 percent is all the same because you aren't getting much experience compared to deaths anyway.

("But Im a pro and I never die so git gud" Then you aren't challenging yourself for your gear level. You aren't good, you're just conservative / risk-averse.)

LoL. The only "refined" thing about 50% exp loss is how sublime the memes will be about getting a random disconnect and being slapped with a testicular torsion as reward.

Although, leave it to GGG to address things in the worst possible way instead of actually balancing the game in any meaningful way.

make a compromise

add sentinel to the core game and then if you use a sentinel in that area then you get -50% xp loss upon death.
