Experience loss driving some players away?

Solution: Penalize XP gain for a certain period of time or certain amount of XP after your death. This way pleyers don't want to die, but still don't feel like they wasted 6 hours when they go back 15% at level 80.

My Solution:
Hard Core - Loss Char when you die Medium Core - Loss EXP when you die Soft Core - Loss nothing when you die Now the player can select the way they want to play! Last edited by RichardM#1448 on May 3, 2013, 10:17:52 AM

" my solution without breaking the game by killing the playerbase and breaking it into 2. (hardcore already exists) move experience loss to 8-10%. |

Cant speak for others, but I really like the experience penalty. The experience penalty sets a bar, a target for me to play against. As a self found player, I compete against the environments of the game, and against the ghosts of characters that die to easily to continue leveling up. I am a little too casual to do very well in hardcore league, so the lesser penalty of mired characters fits me very well, and I honestly hope that it doesnt go away or be trivialized.
Hey...is this thing on?

Exp loss isn't what is driving me away - it's boredom. I keep taking long breaks from PoE - come back and find myself still bored. Waiting for Grim Dawn to get Alpha out so I can get my aarpg hunger met; PoE isn't filling me up anymore...

I am very disappointed nobody from GGG commented on this thread.
Sadly, my wife won't play the game with me due to the XP punishment, and neither will my friend (who was very interested in the game until he found out about the punishment). GGG... I'd really like to get my friends into this game, but it's obvious the XP punishment is driving them away. I can't blame them. six times the punishment of Diablo 2 is hardly reasonable. Additionally, my wife chimes in on the rare occasion I die (which often results in getting angry and using colorful language) with a "...and that's why I don't play your game..." So... is there any plan to address the existing XP punishment, or create a new league with no (or a lesser) punishment? All that and a bag of chips!

" I don't get these reasons... if you are dying that much you clearly suck at this game... go play something else? or do HC.. you wont loose any exp there.. |
