This is why GGG doesn't remove XP penalty
|
Because it wouldn't make sense, there is nothing even to argue about. XP penalty is ridiculously small until, let's say, level 85. After that, you can already stop leveling up if you don't want to deal with it. If you want to challenge yourself to go higher in level, go, it will be exponentially harder each level so just don't set up unrealistic goals, like reaching lvl 100 unless you are ready to spent unreasonable amount of time to get it. So, everyone can go as high as he wants to and nothing forces people to suffer from XP penalty beside, so no reason to remove it. And if someone for some reason think that he supposed to keep leveling up until 100, he just don't understand this simple mechanic. People not expected to keep leveling up until 100, everyone supposed to stop somewhere (except some crazy challengers), and XP penalty just indicates where. If you are losing XP faster than earning it — congrats, you just reached your current max lvl.

Is this "feedback" for whoever is opening a topic?
If yes, kind reminder that this is the feedback section for the EA and I don't see any feedback in that regard for the game itself. Maybe the 'discussion' forum would've been better for this as it's more of a statement/clarification type of post. Everything you wrote here has also been said multiple times within the other topics and has been argued also countless times, you didn't bring anything new to the table. Also I don't agree with one of your points, it's not "harder" to reach 100 in any way, it just requires more time, time spent doesn't equal hard, far from it.

I'm sure it was said million times, as well as I'm sure there was no single reasonable counterargument in either of those million times.
Yes, probably should've post in Discussion section instead. Well, people are giving feedback about it all the time, I would think it could be helpful if they read it first, but I'm not so naive to think so. Nobody of those people will turn their brain on to think about it, of course. It is harder to reach lvl 100, because death penalty increases every level in terms of how further back you go after dying, so you can't reach 100 with same deathrate which allow you to reach 90. But also it requires ridiculous amount of time, sure. Last edited by Suchka_777#4336 on Jan 5, 2025, 8:49:12 AM

" The main proponent for the vast majority of players to infer a sense of progression and meaningful gameplay is progress. Some people are simply not as skilled -but willing to put in the same amount of hours. Do you think the miniscule overall powercreep you get from level 85 to 100 over at least 100 hours with no deaths will break the game for those who wants "a bigger challenge", or be simply detrimental to the feeling of progression for most? I can't find ONE single argument to keep xp penalty. If you need that extra punishment to find enjoyment and meaning in the game, play hardcore/hardcore ssf. If you don't want to do that but still want to punish the players that just want to be rewarded for the time they put into the game regardless of the class/build and skill level by basic XP, you sir, are a hypocrite. |

" Progress in leveling up will stop anyway, either it will be level 85 and 100. Why you insist it should be 100? It's just a number. " I think it will remove, without any reason, for all players option to challenge themselves in reaching some level they want to try to reach with XP penalty. Option to level up to reasonable level without noticeable XP penalty already exist, no reason to remove option to level up further with exponentially growing XP penalty. You can argue that it should take more time to reach level 85, so people who doesn't want to reduce death rate would progress longer, but it's a different topic. " Then you probably won't, because I explained it clearly enough to understand if you would want to. Last edited by Suchka_777#4336 on Jan 5, 2025, 9:13:38 AM

Leveling advice from a No Badge Tourist. Ha!

" Another great counterargument. Probably all counterarguments which were ever said have the quality of this one, more or less (well, probably not less, can't imaging something even less meaningful:). Because, like I said before, there is nothing even really to argue about. Last edited by Suchka_777#4336 on Jan 5, 2025, 9:17:36 AM

" You can't argue with ignorant. On Probation Any%

" You can't argue at all when there is nothing to argue about. But you can come up with some other reasons why you can't argue, sure. Last edited by Suchka_777#4336 on Jan 5, 2025, 9:23:33 AM
