1 death on maps is hurting casual players and adds nothing to hardcore players

I'm still just baffled how GGG came to the conclusion of current version of 1 Death maps. It's beyond any reasonable explanation when you look at the 6 portal system in POE 1 that even allowed players to jump out during mid boss fight and then in again to continue the fight.

Trying to balance the core game based on this is beyond stupid and shows total lack of understanding of basic fairness on behalf of GGG. Lets not forget that this is an ONLINE game where lag and server stability are ALWAYS the biggest boss.

I'll admit I just died two times in a row after using my most juiced up waystones on my most juiced up maps.

I was probably to tired to play and not focused enough, but that's one of my points here, this game takes focus to avoid dying.

After working all day, taking care or chores etc you wanna relax and play. If you end up dying after setting everything up (boost your maps with tablets, exalt your waystones, adding some emotions and all that) and on top of that you also lose exp. It just feels terrible.

Hardcore players will already be ahead bcoz they:

1. play more hours

2. are more efficient with their time

3. will probably not die anyway bcoz they're better at the game

Therefor; casual players are really the only losers here, and they're already behind as it is.

I have 288 logged hours in the game (quite a few of them are afk hours). Two characters 90+. Played pretty much every other ARPG there is. Now that I've had some experience with the game, this just aint feeling right.

They wont tho, this is the same crap people like you said about poe1.


when they lose 95% of player base maybe they will be happy with ther systems and mechanics

It adds enough for a lot of people. I wouldn't enjoy 6 portals, the game would become too simple I think.

Some people enjoy some kind of tension or stake in their game. Has nothing to do with a lack of understanding.

One thing I learned fairly early on in maps is that if you stand still for longer than 1 second, you should expect to die.

You always have to be moving. Which is ridiculous, and most likely why melee is having issues.

I hate being forced to be focused the entirety of the game. Even in Dark souls you could take a break once and a while, despite every monster being capable of killing you, you could find moments of clarity because there weren't 1000000 monsters running around the screen.

I think one factor many are forgetting is that every area resets on death. This seems to be "baked in" to the PoE2 experience, from Act 1 forward. So, if you die in a Map, and the Map resets, then you're going to end up having people farming the same Map over and over (well, up to 6 times).
