Suggestion: Add a Death Report Panel for Improved Player Feedback
I would like to propose the addition of a Death Report Panel in Path of Exile 2 that displays detailed information about a player's death. Similar to systems seen in other games like League of Legends, this panel would help players understand what led to their death and improve their gameplay experience.
Why this would be beneficial: Improves Player Understanding Many deaths in Path of Exile happen very quickly, often leaving players frustrated or confused. A death report could clearly show: What killed the player (specific skill or ability). Damage types taken (physical, fire, cold, chaos, etc.). The percentages of damage dealt by each source. The killing blow (e.g., skill, enemy name, or final hit). Helps Players Learn and Adapt By seeing the breakdown of damage and sources, players can learn to avoid dangerous mechanics, adapt their gear, or change their build. Understanding which enemies or abilities are particularly deadly gives a clear way to improve and progress. Enhances Player Satisfaction Frustration after sudden deaths is common, especially for hardcore players. Knowing exactly how and why they died reduces confusion and increases fairness. It provides closure and helps players feel in control, even in a game as challenging as Path of Exile. How it might work: A simple "Death Summary" window could appear after respawning, showing: Top 3 sources of damage (skills, enemies). Damage types (with percentages). The exact skill or enemy that dealt the final hit. Why implement this feature? It aligns with the hardcore and learning-oriented nature of Path of Exile. Understanding your mistakes and learning is a core part of the game's philosophy. It provides a quality-of-life improvement without reducing the challenge of the game. Players would appreciate having clear and concise feedback, leading to less frustration and a more satisfying experience. This feature would especially benefit: New players struggling to understand why they died. Veteran players looking to fine-tune their strategies. Hardcore players, where death has major consequences. Thank you for considering this suggestion! I believe a Death Report Panel would add immense value to the game, enhancing both the learning curve and overall player experience.
