" If you remove punishment then you also remove whole tension from the game. It's like playing Poker but without using real money lol. Last edited by Sakanabi#6664 on Jan 1, 2026, 5:58:22 PM

" Most people Play Poker without Money??? People dont really want Tension, they wanna have a fun time. Not getting fucked over multiple times by one death. You lose EXP! You lose the Waystone! You lose Tablet uses! You have to use another waystone! You potentially lose a Citadel Boss! You potentially lose a unique Map boss! Removing EXP penalty from the game will not affect you in the slightest. “The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.”

" If you want tension play hardcore. If you want hardcore but not quite hardcore you should be given an option, just as others want to not deal with the stress. Not like any side has to lose anything, except RMTers and boost sellers who have a vested interest against QoL. |

" Genuinely, how are so many people mindbroken into thinking this? So I guess there is no tension in the hundreds of thousands of other games without xp loss or any thing like that which blatantly erases hours of your progress or wastes time?

XP penalty should stay in the game. The final few levels ain't that big of a thing when it comes to character power. And as Jonathan and Mark have said, 100 shouldn't be something what people always try to hit. I have played PoE1 for 10 years and I have only few characters at lvl 100. Best characters I leave at 93-95 just because getting the last levels doesn't boost character power that much. If you keep dying in the maps, maybe it would be wiser to check the mods and run mods which you can handle a 100%. You stand before the gates of the Lord's Labyrinth. Within these walls, the Lady of Justice doth preside.

Literally no reason to do this. Would it be easier without the XP penalty, yes. Would you be incentiviced to learn the mechanics and defensive layers without it, no. And anyways, you get to level 93 very easily, and it is almost always good enough. You can push it at that point to 95 very easily too, but need some more work. Also, there are several ways to mitigate the XP loss, which you start to afford when pushing the higher levels. |
