No thank you. I prefer 1 death per map. Finally the game rewards at least some other strategy than to RUSH RUSH RUSH DIE RUSH RUSH DIE RUSH.

Feel free to enjoy PoE 1 like that.


Sorry to say it won't be staying like that for long. Otherwise PoE 2 will have about the same player numbers as Ruthless.


Doubtful. Two weeks in and still 2x the number of players on average are playing POE 2 compared to POE 1's highest ever playercount on steam alone. Literally half of all players could quit POE 2 and it would still do as well as POE 1.

If GGG keeps giving people these EZ mode options we are going to just end up with a D4 clone made for couch dad gamers with 40 hour a week jobs. They already trivialized resists in end game which makes 99% of loot pointless to even look at.

6 Portals just lets people who have no business running certain content to brute force it. Its not really a "second chance" at a map, its more like a defensive layer in POE 1. People will play characters so squishy that if anything touches them once, they die, but its OK because they can do that 6 times before the map is bricked.

1 Death forces you to make sure your defenses are dialed in and that the content you are running is suitable for your build.


You know what 1 death per map is making people do right now? It's making them quit the game.

Dude this game won't sucks like D IV even with 6 portals to clear a map LOL ! Pretty poor comparation you put here.

And where's written exaclty the rule a player with less free time than you can't enjoy and chill playing PoE2 ?
Do you like hard playing and you have lot of freetime ? Nice there's something called HC league.

+1, 1 portal feels awful with the damage being so random. Everytime damage actually is taken, it's a 1 shot.
6 portals, or i will never play a poe2 league. It is a clear deal breaker for me.
I wanna chill at gaming and with so much punishment I can't relax playing.

which is fine, I most likely won't stick with PoE2 because I like the crafting in PoE.
A game doesn't need to be for everyone.

It doesn't but all I see is clashing mechanics and directions, and desires.
Want to be hard, yet dififculty mostly only based on your luck with gear.
Want you to be careful with 1 death... yet visual clarity is bad + on death effects, and potential one shots that does not mix well with it.
Want to be slower, yet I open a breach and swarmed and all, the should be slower part cease to exist. Or I open a stream and all I see is poe 1 explody gameplay in poe 2.

Sure it is just my opinion but its current state is just a mess. You cannot be both. If one portal should be a thing then all dumb deaths should be removed, and a bunch of rng factor as well, visual clarity should be crystal clear, poe 1 zoomy monsters should not exist. Otherwise I vote for 6 portal as well.
