1 try maps? That dosn't feel good.

I was so excited to get to end game, and then i put a map in, see 6 portals, whoops die to the new corruption explosion, oh well i'll go back i-....oh. Well that's stupid.

In a game where there is so many "what the fuck killed me" moments, or frustrating times getting stuck on decoration, or mobbed in and killed, it feels too punishing when we wanna play softcore and just enjoy the game. It makes every map anxiety inducing instead of enjoyable.

Not everyone wants that. If you did, you make a HC character. The good brain feels of speeding through a map, feeling strong, seeing loot drop is what made the first game fun to play.It feels like i can't even bring friends cause if they die, then whelp maps harder and now im alone.

This isn't it.This is the worst part of last epoch end game brought into poe2.

Xp penalty gave enough groans and curses for dying, don't kill the maps too.

It gets even worse at the very endgame.

You want us to spend weeks grinding maps to get to a pinnicle boss, the hardest content in the game, and then we get 1 shot?

That's not fun. 1 try portals are not fun.

None of this feels fun. We didn't need a souls like. We just needed a new path of exile. Not every game has to be a slow ass souls like these days.

You guys missed what made poe fun.

Yeah I have no idea who made the decision to delete maps and boss invitations on death but it needs to change before the game launches for real, because then it would be too late.

The "1-try-portals" are one of the problems in the endgame imo.

Have you ever tried coop? If you die, there are two error messages in the chat if you want to use one of the 4 remaining portals... “You have died, you cannot enter this” and ‘unknown error’ :D
Sorry - but the “Your death has consequences because your waypoint just disappears” is one of the biggest problems that ruin the fun in the endgame.

Another big problem apart from that, in my opinion, is the “imperfection” of maps... The maps are huge, have almost only white monsters, hardly any magic or rares... and no map boss. It feels completely wrong. In addition, you're slow as anything, hardly any mechanics in the maps or even these buffs...

The two together have completely taken the fun out of the game for me...
The whole endgame is just no fun because it plays so incredibly untested.

I very much agree. 1 portal system is a bad decision.

If you want 1 portal regular maps, it sucks, it dosn't feel good, and makes trying out lesser meta builds pointless cause you'll never get anywhere or anything on them, always forced back into the characters you know won't just blow up.

Even if you left normal maps 1 attempt though..

Pinnacle bosses are a no go. I could sit and watch every boss guide under the sun, but unless i have the feel for it myself, I'm more than likely going to miss a step, or mess up somewhere and thats it, im done.

I can't take a min to breath and go back in and keep trying like i could in the previous game. I'm just done. It was anxiety inducing enough to have your portals slowly go down from 6 to 1 try left, it was also exciting.

This is just too punishing with the sheer amount of time you need to sink into getting to them.

Sadly its not time i want to sink into it, and thats the bottom line. I have 3000+ hour friends who are also choosing to stop playing after their first pinnacle boss attempt and realizing they only had 1 attempt.

I realize its early access, and i do hope you listen to the feedback, because for alot of your old fans, this is almost to the point of heartbreaking after waiting so long.
