XP Penalty on Death is one of the worst things in POE1 and transcended in POE2

This XP loss on death is from D2 and it's anachronism that needs to go.
POE2 is a different game from POE1 and D2 and the XP loss should be removed.

I agree!

Or at least it could be configurable. The player who likes to suffer could turn on.

Nope, XP loss should stay, or the ladders might aswell be deleted, if anyone could throw their face at the screen with no consequence it would just mean the guys that play more time are always on the top of the ladder, you actually have to be good and not die much or at all to compete in the ladder atm as it should be, get better and youll stop losing all that xp, it´s as simple as that, and by no means you need a lvl 100 build to do anything in the game, it´s more of a reward for playing good, you can have a fully working build at lvl 90-95 wich is fairly easy to get.

Btw im by no means a top player, much less competing on the ladder, but i understand and respect that´s a big part of the game for many people.

on a related note, i'd really like to see a ladder by /played time, since this would measure skill more than no-lifed-ness.

and it would be achievable at a time other than the start of the season

Yep all the death penalties are trash game design that should have been forgotten forever 20 years ago. They need to delete them before more and more people quit this game lol

Exp loss adds nothing to the game, if it was removed everyone would forget it ever existed. It would objectively make the game better if it was removed, this is a fact. Same for 1 portal per map, objectively bad,unfun game design that wastes your time and makes you uninstall the game.

Suicidal monekybrains should forever stay at lvl 90. I hate dying in PoE 1 too but I like exp loss as a form of slap.

Now gimme my banana.

All this does is make people play conservatively. They are going to avoid doing anything dangerous, challenging, or fun. That and steer everyone to broken builds.

I‘m the same as you, I will probably quit the Game because of this. I‘m Level 89 and i always die to some stupid one Hit shit I don‘t See and losing 1-2 XP slots is just way too much if You Need at least 4 Maps for 1 slot

I feel you ...

Level 100 is not a participation trophy, it is a goal you can set yourself at the start of a league and play accordingly

A couple of passive points are not going to completely redefine your entire build, and no one is going to look down on you for topping out at 97

If you're constantly dying, game is telling you to get better defenses, the problem as I see it is not that there's an XP penalty, it's that certain defenses do not help against one shots or ground effects and can't be fixed without a serious investment which is just not there in lower tier maps

Also that T11 - T14 maps are difficult to sustain, kind of forcing people into T15s before they're ready
