GET RID OF XP LOSS! Not fun at all, bad game design!

XP loss on death is necessary to restrict the already existing prevalence of glass cannon builds a tiny bit. It's not bad game design at all.

Exactly.

If this is the goal then according to your own comment it's highly ineffective.

Using a highly ineffective tool that annoys lots of players to the point of quitting, to try to fix a problem but fail, is bad design.

It's like taking a flamethrower to your garden because one of the bushes looks a bit untidy. Then finding out that bush doesn't really burn too easily, all you have done is slightly scorched it while destroying everything else in the garden.

There are better ways to reward not dying than taking away progress players put time into on previous maps.

So, it's neither necessary (because the same thing could be achieved in other ways) nor effective (because apparently the effect is tiny).

Better GGG find a set of pruners and fix the problem in a way that doesn't compromise the challenging gameplay they worked hard on.

It has thrived as a game design for 12 years it's not going anywhere.

Another tired comment people keep repeating.

You don't know how much more or less successful it would have been without this.

For many players it is highly off-putting. If it had never been there and other appropriate systems were in place to make death undesirable in more reasonable ways, nobody would be arguing for it to be added.

And it might well be getting changed if you listen carefully to GGG's latest interview. Much more likely than the 1 portal per map anyway.

The tired comment(s) ppl keep repeating are NOT going to change. there will be NO auction house. there will be exp penalty for death. You will get 1 shot randomly. If these things make playing PoE2 too hard for some then they need to go play candy land or some shit. PoE2 is not going to be casual friendly and why dafuk should it be? PoE1 was not and this is 2!! Great game GGG keep it up


:)

xp loss is fine and needed, has to stay. im glad they will not remove it. deal with it or leave.

I do not understand why they will not create another league for more casual players, one with no penalties, no respec costs, and fewer punishing mechanics. Keep the current and Hardcore leagues as they are, but add a separate league for players who cannot dedicate countless hours yet still want to enjoy the game.

The current system is a frustrating experience and no longer fun. Diablo 4 was disappointing, and I had high hopes for Path of Exile 2, but these punishing mechanics are a complete deal breaker.

Uhm. Perhaps stop Dying?

Just a thought. If you are playing Mario do you ask the developers to put in a jump free version for casual players? Its a game, which has objectives and skill involved. It seems like you want a big "I win" button. Should they just gift you all the uniques as well, and make all the monsters merely die from your presence.

Doesn't seem like you are really cut out to do anything with challenge. Maybe take up knitting? Oh wait .. that has challenge ... not sure how they can help you here.
