Why dedicate my time if I can lose all my XP with a death penalty?
" What this guy actually means: - Play lower tiers and lower maps where you either won't get any exp at all or you will still get oneshoted by some bullshit mechanic that he probably also approves of. - Play more tanky class/build means go online insted of playing the game, search meta guides and the best builds instead of making your own character. Realise that you need a lot of currency to run the build. Spend all your time picking Tablets, setting up towers with best buffs, get best choices for your waystones, grind a few hunded of maps to farm, then go to hideout and spend 8 hours a day trading to get more currency. All of that instead of playing the game. Then, patch comes, nerfs your build, repeat all of that. These people don't even understand what makes a game good. They just want to suffer. |

" It's not the goal of the game but it is a goal of the game. It's part of the challenge group.. and actually, every passive skill is fairly strong, even at 90+ Thats my point, mate - the time sink is okay if it's balanced properly... 4+ hours a day for 90 days is not a proper balance, in my opinion. I'm not here to develop the secret formula for them to use, I wish I got paid to do that but that's not my role. I'm just saying Hey I think this needs to be balanced better than it was in PoE1 because of said reasons above, and that's only if they plan on using the same experience point formula as PoE1 on full release. Thats my context. I don't care if they don't remove the penalty. I think they should fix the current equation of 4+ hrs a day for 90 days to reach the achievement of level 100. Thats it. How they do it, I honestly don't know - nor would I care. |

" It is not about challenging or not challenging the devs on their design decisions, would it be nice to not have xp penalty? absolutely! however it is nowhere NEAR as bad as everyone making it out to be. Its like complaining bacon is too greasy but you as a consumer wont take time to pat the bacon down with a paper towel and instead complain to anyone who will listen.

" You keep saying that "you know what is good game" to the point it is being censored by the mods. Do you realize the definition of "good game" is just based on personal preference? What is a "good game" to you or to me, might be different from what is a "good game" for everyone else, because everyone has a different taste & likes about the game. Just an example I don't like Classic Turn-based RPG, because I don't like their combat style, it's a personal preference. Does that mean I can say Baldur's Gate 3 is not a good game because I don't like its combat style? Well, a lot of players will certainly disagree with me if I believe that, so I don't. Not liking a certain feature of the game does not mean it's automatically not a good game. Maybe, that game or that feature is just not intended for you. "A game IS supposed to waste your time but it's not supposed to make you FEEL like you're wasting your time:
It's supposed to make you WANT to waste your time." |

" There is personal preference and there is a bad taste. You have bad taste. |
|
" Name your top 5 games. Go ahead. |
|
" So does that mean, if you disagree with my tastes you also have a bad taste? Having empathy & perspectives can go a long way. "A game IS supposed to waste your time but it's not supposed to make you FEEL like you're wasting your time:
It's supposed to make you WANT to waste your time." |

" 1. Baldur's Gate 3 2. Edlen Ring 3. The Witcher 3 4. Terraria 5. Heroes of Might and Magic You can try and say i have bad taste, but you will just make yourself look like a clown. And i can also name many other games that i don't like but accept that they are great for other people. That is a personal preference. Defending XP loss in poe2 is a case of bad taste. If GGG fix the issue - great, i will consider it part of the early access problem. If they keep it - bad game design. |

" Oh great master, teach me more about empathy. I never knew such thing existed! Such a typical thing for bad actors to do. Talking about perspetive. I can understand why people love GTA games even though i don't Because that is a matter of personal taste and perspective. Same goes for many other games i do not enjoy playing but can see their value. You are not defending personal preferences. You are defending a bad mechanic that makes the game worse for many people and it will benefit everyone for it to not exist. Literally nobody will enjoy the game less if that function disapppears. In any case, this will be the last reponse i give you, the conversation leads to nowhere. Ultimately, i only care if developers make a change and you just get to play a better game. |

Some of these posts I swear to God...
No, don't remove XP penalty. Don't let people headbutt themselves into more and more content to reach lvl 100 without actually building survivability on their character. |
