Why dedicate my time if I can lose all my XP with a death penalty?

Keep trying, maybe one day you'll figure out what hardcore mechanics actually means.


I know exactly what they mean, they are being forced onto softcore players in this game so it's quite clear.


nothing is forced onto you, nobody is losing their characters. its a game about progression, risk and reward. if you hit a wall at some point(like every single player) its on you to overcome that by progression, not on the game to remove that wall. and its on you to stop playing the game if you dont like it, not on the game to cater to you.

And then you have a dead game with no players. It's 100% on the game to fix bad design. So many people have quit because of how bad some campaign bosses are, or because of how horrible the ascendancy trials are lmao

And "hardcore" doesn't only mean losing your whole character. I already explained, hardcore is any mechanic that deletes your progress on death. Right now there is no softcore, at best you could call it mediumcore. And that shouldn't be the default normal mode of the game, its too punishing and the game will keep bleeding players day by day until GGG fixes it.

Its alright, the xp loss I mean, I don't mind. Just die less. You don't even lose your levels. GGG know what they're doing. You only lose XP. And if I say only, then only. Farm at 0xp and get strong enough to not die, then level up. It's really just skill issue. :)


Come back and tell us that when you're level 90+ and it takes 3 hours to get that 10% back.


Already there, and took MANY characters well past that point on POE1.

So, yeah just die less. It's really not that big of an issue, unless you expect to just win all the time.

I don't think you're getting the bigger issue here.

If people hit that wall of frustration that's the END of progression... not the point where they "progress" somehow like you're inferring.

That's when they say "screw this game" and quit. For good in most cases.

It's a "GAME" which is meant to be "FUN" and end game should be accessible to everyone.

I see you're still trying to figure out what hardcore means.

Game isn't dying, but it could do with a few less whiners.
end game is accessible to everyone, its not gated by any level or anything else. if youre not willing to progress further, its not on the game, its on you.

Completely and totally false.

Can everyone hit level 100 with exp penalties in place?

Just for a SINGLE example.

Say, "yes".

Lie to me.

Completely untrue. Many people have already quit because of the horrible game design in so many areas even before reaching endgame. And endgame is just so so bad lol

It's completely on the devs to balance a game properly so that its fun. This game right now is not fun.

its not meant for everybody to get to lvl 100. thats one of the challenges people can invest into if they want to do it. the fact that you would like everybody and their moms to get to lvl 100 clearly shows you have no clue about game design.
