Why dedicate my time if I can lose all my XP with a death penalty?

I agree the death penalty feels bad and leveling XP is harder than ever. GGG seems hell-bent on making the game not fun.

This doesn't even make sense. What does that have to do with not having XP loss? No one is asking for bosses to not reset. Bosses should reset. Bosses not resetting was a stupid design decision in POE 1.
I guess for people whose sole challenge in the game is to reach level 100 and play around the XP penalty, a change like that would feel pretty bad.
Confirming 92+ really isn't fun. Even dying very very rarely, like once every 20 maps, it feels very unfun. Shouldn't lose your waystone for dying, and without resurrects in maps co-op is also unfun.

Give players more options to push monster level past 81, the Atlas isn't very interesting as it stands, and even getting level 81 monsters is tedious, anything under 81 and there's basically no point in running the map if you are over level 90.

Bosses should give substantial experience hits.

Citadels are too rare, and should give more experience.

All forms of "pillar" endgame content are too rare and time consuming to attempt, and should give more experience.

It makes perfect sense. NOONE should ever reach lvl 100 by dying all the time. If u cant get to lvl 100 without xp loss being removed i can tell u why... Either you or ur builds sucks, its really that simple.

Never seen such a huge pile of bs and crybabies. Xp loss is perfectly fine and every decent build is pretty maxed out and can do any content in the game at lvl 90 anyway so u dont need lvl 100 and u sure as hell should not get there by corpse running and throwing ur rotten carcass at map bosses. U already have this game... its called D4, their player retention clearly shows that its not the way to go. Some people actually likes the challenge and the time it takes to get to lvl 100 and it keeps some players engaged for more than 1 week on a new league. Lvl 100 is not meant for every build nor is it a prerequisite for anything in the game and if u feel like ur time is wasted by loosing 10% xp because u die even though u have gained a lot of loot in the meantime thats on u and not the game. So in the end suck it up or move on cause xp loss is here to stay as it should be.


Totally.

Exactly. It would be going from "This game is great" to " D4 bad". Some builds are made for farming and never meant to go 100, but some people (myself included) love the fact that it takes time and u have to work to maximize ur build and solve the puzzle of defence vs offence to actually get there at all.
D4 lasted like almost 3 weeks before i pressed uninstall and havent played since cause the game is too ez and boring. In Poe 1 on the other hand i have more than 15k hours spend since release

If your build cannot reach 100 then you cannot farm because you die the content you would farm with your brain turned off. Your argument is intellectually dishonest since a xp penalty has no real impact on your experienced gameplay where you would use a made up reality in your head going against human behavior (people just corpse run to max). Also, you should not be forced to play under these conditions and what could be described as "standard" or optimal rewards under penalties should still exist in which case your experience won't really change.
