One shot at the boss per instance

As I said, I'd like to see a few more tries on bosses as to not be let down by the fact that I nearly got him or just died instantly or get some more practice and what not instead of having to find this boss again.

I saw a video this morning that was an interesting take that could persuade me to like just having one chance per instance. It's bigger picture though and not instant gratification. ^^

Tldr. What I think she's saying is it's good for the economy and for longevity of a league.

Yes everything will be slower paced since we're building towards being able to beat the next step of combat and actually getting through these maps without dying. And for casual players this is multiplied since we're even slower.
But the hope is that everything has the potential to be more deliberate and rewarding because now farming a boss or a map at least at higher tiers is much less of a given and thereby can drop less random loot.

Also, I want stuff to stay hard and if the mindset is, we're building something satisfying when you eventually beat it, it'll most likely be hard to do.

Dying locks you out of the map and cost you 10% xp.

Wait, what? Did they mention that they are going to keep this shitty EXP penalty?

we don't know the amount. XP penalties are removed in the campaign, for late game I think the xp penalty formula is still TBD, but it should be smaller than previously to account for failing maps having consequences (they are still discussing it internally)

It was mentioned in an interview that the higher level exp penalty would remain for racing reasons. What the threshold is, idk.

Other than that, the game requires me to git gud, so challenge accepted.

Thanks for the info. I'm in the camp of "either one or the other", but never both. Elden Ring learned from its predecessors with the Stakes of Marika. You choose one form of punishment, you never apply both at the same time. (Just in case you got some friends at GGG.)

All will be fine.
