The -15% exp penalty is obnoxiously bad outdated design.

this game is about outdated/oldschool design.

This is EXACTLY the reason i love poe .
Old school feel. The only other few rpg,s ive actually enjoyed in a while is dark souls.
Hmm fancy that, another old school " hardcore " game.

I wish companies would bring out more games with the old school mentality.

+1

In addition there are a lot high level hardcore chars which proof that it is entirely possible to play the game without dying once. This doesn't make dying and loosing 15% XP suck less, but it shows that it's not an unfair penalty for an inevitable death.

learn to play

look at the Hardcore Ladder League to see how little the experience penalty affects them

....To all you elitists out there, hardcore mode will probably always exists. Losing a large deal of experience on death is only going to make people who are intermediately interested in this game quit earlier than they usually would.

I am into this game, but I know right now, losing experience on death is going to make me quit. Probably not until I am in the high 70's, but it will. I have quit many games because the experience debt gets worse and worse.

These underlined being the key points.

I'm really not picking on you - but this is the point....

People who want an easier softer game are going to quit. Probably before they even hit 100, or shortly thereafter. That is the 'thing' with people. Run through, 'win', and leave.

This is not what everyone else here will do. We'll be playing so long as the servers are running - unless they dumb the game down to the point it doesn't matter anymore, which is why we are fighting so hard to NOT dumb it down.

Because the people who are whining now won't be here 6 months, or even 3 months from now probably - regardless of any changes made. GGG could make this as simple as "Amazing Alphabet Matchup" and these people would still leave. Albeit the first out the door would be the people who don't want that.

THIS is why we don't want things stupidified - because those people won't stay anyway, and the game will be ruined for those who would have stayed, and played, and paid.

oh god... another post like this... Im too noobish to play this game so make it easier for me

OH NO!

''My skill sucks. My gear sucks and my build sucks too. So why am I beeing punished? I WANT TO BE REWARDED!''


Come on .. another whiny kiddo. I can buy you a icecream if you are sad about your lost xp :(

P.S.: Just fyi, dont die in real life man. There is more than 15% xp penalty :(

i wouldnt bother making any post saying how they can make the game more fun/better for others, your only get told, STFU! NOOB! L2P, MAN THIS IS OLD SKOOL GAME LEARN TO PLAY!!!

sad but tue.

Penalties are AWSOME, it adds this special Terror to a game.

I am an Oldschool Gamer, and before WoW came out i've played Everquest1 on a Red Server for 5 Years.
I know its a MMORPG, and not a aRPG...but it also had big penalties.

Exp Loss, 1 Item lost in a PvP death etc... you could even lose Levels with dying.
The Entire Gameplay merged the Community tight together, people helped each other in PvP etc.
Loot and Scoot rules, Guilds coming to your aid etc..

Ahh good old times.
Please dont remove the Penalties GGG.

This is a really well-written point. :)


I would mostly like to know what people would rather have the death penalty be. There has to be a penalty and it has to actually mean something, otherwise deaths mean nothing and there's no tension at all.

Having exp loss in a grindy game where you can randomly go 3000+ -> 0hp in the span of 3 seconds is retarded design.

Now add in bad netcode, rubberbanding, invisible projectiles and burning aura mobs that still do full damage 3/4 of the screen away(in your client) and this is the complete opposite of fun.
