Why dedicate my time if I can lose all my XP with a death penalty?
|
And btw the reason for that last level to be so tedious, repetitive and dull is the topic of this thread: the game stops you having FUN for the endless duration of the last level, because there is the absolute unnecessary xp penalty.
Nobody, just NOBODY wins with this penalty active in the game. |

" Thats looking at the problem from the wrong angle. They should rather fix the instadeath and unfair death issues than remove on-death penalties. |
|
" They couldn't fix instadeaths since 13 years, but they can fix it's impact on players by getting rid of xp loss with just a mouseclick. |

+ 1 on this. I just uninstalled this game as well.
Game have too much time investment required. It would be great if POE 2 would be like what it is right now (minus all the bugs and exploits happening), but with the progression of D4. I undestand that XP penalty is an OG POE thing, but seems like counter intuitive in gaming. why erase the time you did in playing to get that small amount of xp with one death. In the history of gaming, XP grinding is there to buff you up so you can take on challenges easier. it's like, boom your dead, all you have experienced for the past few hours are gone, now face me again and git gud. WTF? I think that if progression would be easier, people will play more on additional classes, increasing overall engagement for the game. This is what I did for D4, create a character, make it a gigachad, then create a new one that is interesting and make them gigachad as well, and so on and so forth. making them gigachad makes it easier on my conscience to buy skins for them. lol! If this death penalty is really here, then it is what it is. It just personally doesn't fit me, and badly hurts my obsessive compulsiveness to have a "completion" on characters/games that I play. lol. a lot of the "git gud"-ers out there have a lot of time to play the game and most probably, that's all day do all day. They die and try, or RMT the shit out their gears and currency. Really great players who avoids these deaths are only on the top 5%, maybe less. |

" One is an issue that fundamentally baked into how the genre works. The other is a tacked on archaic feature. |
|
" Thats fair but PoE 2 has a higher chance of fixing instadeaths because the overall pace of the game is much slower. Its really hard to balance a game where players can move million miles per second and destroy 3 screens of monsters instantly. When theres less stuff happening on the screen at once, its easier to control what is actually going on. |

" Probably shouldn't waste what little time you have left in your work leave on the forums of a game you just uninstalled. |
|
" last I check, this is a feedback thread. I don't need hours to post feedback you know? |
|
" Oh, so you coming back to the game? We thank you for your supporter pack too. |
|
" If things changed, why the hell not? This is a beatiful, gorgeous, and engaging game! I don't find the $200++ i've spent for the game as a waste! I support them for making this game, and i hope they grow and create another game just as beautiful that won't require a huge time investment. Once you grow up kid, you'll understand. ;) |
