Gotta love those "Hardcore" streamers that...

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

I read the same thread last year, and previous ones, gorge map, shaped strand and so on, low tier maps with good tilesets while ago the game is like that it's an ARPG goal is to go for efficiency over everything else and PoE is designed around that.

BeachHead is the actual efficient way, tommorow it will be something else.

In a great world i would appreciate something else but it's not going to happen anytime soon, this is what the largest part of userbase and ARPG players seems to want, now they have it :)

Note: Nothing retain you from playing the way you want to play tought, streamers too why would you even care at all ?

Harbinger map isn't the safest map but it is the highest xp/m available currently, all people going for 100 want is to make it to 100 that requires playing safe.

I know where the OP is coming from but basically if you run any map you are going to die, you just can't do it in HC its dangerous enough just filling the atlas out usually.

I am starting to feel like the damage values are getting out of hand though and i'm thinking about switching to the more mathil type experience (play softcore and just run any mods) but i'm worried i'll miss the rush of only having one life, really not sure.

Its expected that people who paly HC will paly it safe. Sadly, its no difference in AC for those who want to reach 100. The punishmnet for dying is too harsh by SC standard.

You either have to decide one of the 2, but never both.
1) play safe, do easy maps
2) or take on tough contents that risk dying, but ignore gaining exp

Even top players like Mathil, is literally doing as above. I watched alot of his builds here je show of end bosses,literally very few, have experience bar above 5% mark.

Its nice to have the opportunity to turn off playing safe though, at least in softcore you can hit whichever 90 number your comfortable with (91 for me) then just do whatever you want, in HC you have to continue to play safe as as soon as you don't chances are that character will be gone.

You are right, pretty much everyone does.

but at the same time, you have to question the decision & rational by the devs, for the harsh exp penelty which could means days of playing, for players who play causually. If you want to level, you have to play it safe, & not take Azri, or any of the tough boss for days at high levels.

I suggest that have experence locke say every 30mins of gameplay, so if you are at 88% of exp bar, you can do lab or something tough when you feel like it, instead of passing it up.

HC in Path of Exile is a joke...


Hit Esc and done or just 1 button macro it and you'll be out of danger. Diablo III has solutions to this. Should be implemented here or something similar
