So, I finally reached endgame and...

...quit after dying 6 times, trying to complete my first map.

I really enjoyed the cruel acts;
yes, it is getting faster, but it also felt incredible good to blast through the acts again, but with a fullfleged built at hand. Still felt like PoE2, positioning, dodge-roll and combos mattered and were possible. (ok, changed all my 3 chars in cruel fundamentally to make it work, but aside from that, cruel tickeld some power-famtasy of mine, I suppose...)

Got to maps. Looked for the shortest way to a hideout map. 4 maps away. Ok, starting with vaal-factory. Dying at the last rare. Don't know, why; but, ok. Again.
Dying to one specific white mob-type (the sedgway-lightning-robots). Thinking, yeah, I forgot that one of my resis is low, must be lightning then...just to realise, I have 72% lightning-res (by accident, kind of). WTF?
Going in again. Dying again. Always to lightning-guys. Never coming somewhere near my first try, where I died at the last rare.

Now I am leveling the next char. The endgame won't be for me until we get more tries per map. It is more frustration than I can bear.

To make it clear, I am not angry about the difficulty (atm, maybe later), but bc of the one portal per map.

It feels so wrong, after all you learn in the campaign: Died? So level up, gear up, try again. Maps: Finito, go f*ck yourself!
Thats so...aaarrrghh!!!
I don't get, who green-lighted this. Nobody wants pseudo-hardcore. The ppl who want it, will play hardcore. The others...just let us play your game, GGG!!!

And I am also angry about not being in china, bc they get to know what killed them, so it is obviously easy possible for GGG to give out this data (at least it is that way in PoE1...)

So, yeah, I stay with the campaign.

You missed pointing out your stats. Just 72% resists is no info at all.
What is your gear? What is your Armor, Eva, ES, Life?
What level are you? What tier did you try to run? What map mods did you run?

If you are (example) level 59 with 1k life, no es, 500 armor, 20% evasion then yes you are going to die.

The segway mobs are normally super harmless because they are very slow and even a new-in-maps char shouldn't have problems evading them and killing them. I'd understand if you'd said Tarnished Scarabs but those don't hit the same in maps as they did in the story.

And I ask all of that because I have seen people saying they can't map and then it comes out they got a t5+ from a friend that they tried to run as a fresh char or similar things.

edit: Aggorat is btw better to farm for until you almost get no exp there anymore as you will get much more loot in currency and rares than you will get from T1 so it is a VERY valid place to gear and currency up before head-diving into endgame content.

You are right - I was more raging than giving information :)

38%col, 60%fire, 72%lightning, 12%chaos-res; lvl 67; 2 ascendencies, Stormweaver going phys-spells with cold frickeld in (where bonecage doesnt slow down enough).
I have 60%-something evasion, 1,2k life and around 500es (without grimfeast).

I have many alts and hoarded good jewelery and gear from the beginning to get these stats and I am really kind of proud ;)

That is, what annoys me so much: the dps I dealt on the map felt good; clearing was even better than I expected. But it got worse from attempt to attempt, bc I couldnt figure out, why these stupid mobs were so dangerous to me. And I started to behave like a cowardly mouse, going waaaay slower than I had to, taking my time...just to get one-shot instantly again. So I got more and more frustrated and more hesitating at the same time
I started with a very good feeling, almost completing the map, and ended as a nervous wreck, rage-quitting after more than 2 hours, bc I couldn't figure out the prob, couldn't avoid them and was running out of keystones. This is by far not the kind of adrenalin-shot or anxiety I come for to a game.

Dying to a rare with hard mods or getting cornerd by their minions, I can deal with.
But I lost all my keystones and also all motivation to farm or buy more whatsoever.
