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

So... Uh... Because D4 and PoE are both arpg, they catter to the exact same playerbase ?

Lol what. Bruh, please.

PoE2 is an oldschool's style hard & punitive arpg. It isn't for casuals, even if it has been made to be more accessible (easier go understand : more in-game tooltips & infos). It hasn't been designed to be technically easier or for casuals, unlike D4, for example.

PoE2 IS niche.

where did i compare it to d4? i dont even play d4. why it made more accessible? have u thought about that? coz they want more players. they want new players.

Wanting new players doesn't mean wanting casuals players.

yes. unless ppl want it and that what this forum is about mate. ppl says they want it. they said its last option but its still an option. saying its last option doesnt mean ppl wont tell devs they want it changed.

The gist of it is thus:

HARDCORE exists as a mode. We can pick that if we want 1 death to "mean something"

Softcore exists as a mode. The XP penalty discourages players from walking around with 'lol zero defenses', and in combination with the 6 portal limit, 'oh fuck that happened' means a mistake or a lack of attention can punish us without being completely awful

REMOVING the 6 portal limit turns EVERY MAP into a hardcore experience. And it truly IS NOT FUN for a lot of reasons.



Let hardcore be hardcore. But theres no reason to make softcore even more punishing than poe1.

You cannot possibly compare losing a waystone and 10% XP to losing a whole character.

It's not possible.

I know it because they didn't design PoE2 like D4 and won't follow the same path.
