A Simple Poll - Exp Loss on Death

Removing the penalty undermines competitive integrity on the leaderboards. If they had another metric of which to measure rankings i would be willing to consider the exp loss removal of they added an alternative there but without it i wouldn’t even bother playing the game at all. I don't care about div per hour i only care about achieving the strongest character possible in ssf cause trade is too easy and doing everything in the game that poses a challenge including 100 and leaderboard status i don't care about anything else. As you all have the right to your opinions i would also like to point out to ggg that people like us exist too and the game doesn’t offer alot in the name of challenge currently so please don’t take this from us too

hmm Weird why it matters to so many in a single player experience with no pvp.

So last few points dont matter, so why does it matter.

leaderboard i get it, but why dont they just make leaderboard servers, this is only for people that care about getting the biggest pixeled number in a video game on a website that 1% look at.

To mix players of all play types together causes to much tension, doesnt work when you mix new players into competitive FPS play and doesnt work in ARPG's.

Just pisses people off.....

Players like Mr Evil G deserve a place to shine but having non competitive players to follow in there footsteps is a miss step by GGG.

Just make the game harder and you dont lose exp, oh wait people will complain its too hard....this is why we cant have nice things.


Just split the servers and end this constant moaning.

First thing about waypoint system is another way to penalty death
but now we have BOTH and more than its intend
atleast give player a choice is not bad , split server to who want and not.

Solution: allow players to opt out from the leaderboards entirely, thus removing the XP penalty - or at least severely reducing it.

But we already have ways of reducing XP loss. Except omens which may be out of reach for many players we have an option to run safer waystones with less mods. We lose access to third tablet yes but that's the price for safe play - less XP per map. If people keep dying in 4-mod maps is different story tho.

Keep exp loss, and let people upgrade gear so they can survive instead of being one shot every 45 seconds.

Exp loss is necessary for players to feel tension and to make them engage with mechanics like their defenses, enemy attacks, and exp save omens. It won't and shouldn't be removed.

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.

I mean sure there is no reason to do it, but there is alos no reason not to.

What poll? I see +1 comments.. if that's your poll, better pay a Fortune Teller to make a guess.

There are 67 pages, 10 comments each. 670 comments total. U can make an estimation like 75% are in favor (not real number) that's around 465 comments (supposing all of them are real opinions)

465 (hopefully distinct) forum members. Since May 2025 (around 7.5 months).

Are you sure this is the best method of trying to prove something? I'm not buying it.
