EXP loss on death is not acceptable by a lot of people.
Some people feel personally attacked and start insulting and dismissing you for stating this.
Imagine you have to put others down for an opinion of a game that you don't agree with.

People accepting the point and meaning of XP loss are lucky because that's how the game is made.
People complaining about XP loss are unlucky becaude that's not how the game is made.

"whole day ruined" was more or less meant to mean losing 10% at 94+ is a decent chunk of time. Exp flows pretty fast but then you lost that 10% and now I just lvl thinking I should be 20% or 30% or whatever the whole time.
Also, I am 94 with less than 60 deaths. I actually do get a little upset though when I die. It's a mixed emotion thing....loss of time and energy combined with the loss of potential loot.

so you blaming the devs for not making a game for someone who have mental issues?
dont take me wrong but that is weird
no, im simply pointing out that i am predisposed to feeling the same things normal people feel just a little stronger than they do.
5-10% of the population is on ADHD medication. its not rly "having mental issuses" the same way being depressed is, its like having diabetes or an overactive thyroid or being colourblind. its a mostly inherited condition, its not the same as having a bit of a menty b.
another symptom of adhd is hyperfocusing. a tell tale sign of adhd is someone who sits playing computer games for 5, 6+ hours straight. the venn diagram of the 5-10% of people with adhd, diagnosed or undiagnosed, and the 0.1% of the population who play games like poe is probably very telling.
do you think you have opinions and things you do with your time that are only shared by maybe 5% of the population of the world? do you thinkt he devs should care about anything you think about the game?
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :) Last edited by Snorkle_uk#0761 on Jan 18, 2025, 7:34:57 AM

Ok. Your decision. But everyone at this point know that armor is broken and will be repaired in future. Why don't you try something else for now?
OK, how about implementing all those penalties after core mechanics are figured out? In patchnotes they admitted slitherspitter mobs were doing double damage, who is going to refund me exp and all augury waystones? Poe1 was using league players as beta testers who buy packs for privilege to eat RNG penalties, now this is so much worse, which is why I stopped playing back in December, unless a friend offers to party.

I basically said not playing this EA already, lol. It is below raw indie quality right now. In my case access was free so "only" time was lost. But if I was one if those who paid for this EA directly, would've been very angry:)

You do not magically have fun because you look at the game differently. The game is a time waster. The systems are in place to waste your time. They wanted to make a game for millions. They are going to have another game for thousands. This is not success.
That is often literally what personal growth looks like...finding value in things you once dismissed. Changing your outlook to try and understand something instead of making blanket statements like "The game is a time waster" and "This is not success".

shall we not with the meta discussion about the validity of someone expressing how they feel about a thing? the devs dont give a shit, they will either take the feedback on board or dismiss it themselves. its just a waste of time.
ive never felt like this in poe2 because ive never got a really high character yet. what i will say is in poe1 if im mapping on a char whos 98 or 99, if i die i will almost always log out for the day. im done.
i have something called adhd which on a technical level is caused by my brain being unable to produce enough dopamine. i feel emotions strongly and i have a harder time letting them go than most people, its a symptom of adhd.
so make of it what u will.
when i die in poe2 in the 80s i feel quite bad. the 1 portal is fine, the losing the map and content is fine, and i would be fine with losing the xp in the map. i would hate it but those aspects are like fuck lol, god damn it im an idiot, smile, laughing, aghhhh ok we go again boys.
the 10% xp loss is like living rent free in my head feels bad, like fuck i fucking hate this fucking game, fuck this shit. thats how that bit feels.
90% of my deaths in poe1 and poe2 feel like bullshit deaths, they do not feel fair its just im instantly dead out of nowhere and maybe a slow mo replay we could see for a fraction of a second something but in the moment its impossible. im just dead and it feels completely out of nowhere and bullshit.
i defended xp penalty in poe1 for 12 years and i still think xp penalty must stay in poe1, its the only way to make death matter in that game and as bad as it is its better than not caring about death at all.
but i would be lying if i said i felt differently when i happens. if i die at 98/99 in poe1 thats it, done, im logging out for the day and im not in a good mood. i might not come back to the game for weeks, im just gonna go do something with my hobby time that doesnt make me feel like that. thats honestly how it is.
so you blaming the devs for not making a game for someone who have mental issues?
dont take me wrong but that is weird
As someone with ADHD who also gets a bit too upset about xp loss (in the moment) sometimes, I agree. I would never tell a game developer to specifically coddle me. That's insanity.

Saying exp loss on death is "not acceptable" makes me think you're about to write a "strongly worded letter" and demand to "speak to the manager"
