Map Device + Die = WTF ?

Just my personnal oppinion on something....

First of all, i love this game and i have more than 1800h on POE... This game as always is a big challenge everytime.

But now, i dont understand something about Die in the Map Device and cannot come back in the map....

Just a question, WHY ????? The game is not enough hard ?

Actually im verry fcking discusted and i dont want to come back in game only for this major anoying part.

And i will come back for sure if this come back to use our 6 portals to clear the map.

GGG, with all my respect, you did something verry awesome with this game, the best game over my 40 years of gaming, but PLEASE, let use us our 6 portals.

I agree, same impressions for me

It was a deliberate decision from them to do it this way. I believe in order to promote more balanced builds and shift away a bit from glass canon builds. Typical PoE 1 six portal defense.

They are also addressing one shots or general enemy damage balancing in maps to further reduce the outliers and one shot potential.

You can still use the six portals to get loot out as long as you do not die. Also, you do not fail a map on death anymore. Only the additional content from the map gets removed. If you want to pass that way, you can use another waystone (even a low level one) to pass that way.

Overall the game It’s definitely not what they promised in the interviews, where they boasted that we’d have to learn boss mechanics, there wouldn’t be one-button builds, and the game would require skill and proper rotations using multiple abilities.

The system feels punishing, not challenging. Dying resets the map, erases all loot, and forces you to re-clear long zones (same no-sense system for history). Its just a time-waste mechacnic specially with that excesive long maps.

Players ask for a long campaing?... ok, guys just copy/paste the same corridors, rotate them 90 degrees, and voilà—you’ve got a campaign that’s three times longer, now reset everything when they die and you got an extra 3x long.

It’s not about being hard or requiring skill, it’s just bad gameplay and map design.

I am not a raging players, but this situation make me rage and its better if i stop playing for my personnal state....

Sad because i want to Play....

But this is simply unnaceptable for me....

I put a bad review on steam but i promess you, i Will change it and i Will be back right when ggg make a change about that.

I dont know the feeling of other player about this, butt feel free to complain about that if you want some change.✌️

For addind something, i can Play with every crash every 2 to 30 minutes because im on win11 23H2, cuz i understand we are in early access... But for die and lost map... Sorry, really not
