Early Access Feedback - PoE2: One death in map and its bricked. - Forum

" morbo#1824 wrote: I'm hyped for PoE 2 because it fixes everything that makes PoE 1 a nauseating experience and something I don't plan to touch anymore; the central problem of PoE 1 being the fact that nothing has meaning anymore. PoE 2 is re-introducing meaning into the game on all design levels. This one death per map change also adds meaning to mapping, gearing, building defense, choices, skillful gameplay (or skillful avoidance of it ;)... let's first test it out, then complain. Maybe most people will hate it in the end, me included. But for now I just hope GGG won't cave in immediately when the rivers of tears start flood in on Dec 6. How do you get meaning if one is instagibbed offscreen by invisible projectiles? Or dies to server lag. Like I get what you are saying but poe just doesn't have enough feedback to know if something is dangerous or not without a lot of game knowledge. Like if one tries to read mods on a monster, if it is dangerous they are probably already dead. A lot of mechanics spawn them ontop of the player.

Meanwhile, that was their plan all along. Playing 4D chess and doing the same thing with all the recent nerfs and "buffs" in the last couple of years on PoE 1. I think your on the right track , its like creating a problem and then selling you the solution =)	Posted by ValiantHammer#1178 on Dec 1, 2024, 9:01:13 PM Quote this Post
you have 6 portals, you only have 1 "life" A fact is a statement that can be supported to be true or false by data or evidence. In contrast, an opinion is a personal expression of a person’s feelings or thoughts that may or may not be based in data.	Posted by drklrd#6377 on Dec 1, 2024, 9:18:40 PM Quote this Post

" drklrd#6377 wrote: you have 6 portals, you only have 1 "life" Your point is sorry? We have always historically been like a phoenix and only the map devices’ ability limited us. Now the map device can still open 6 portals as before but we can only use one. I’d love to see the lore behind this, but more importantly I’d love to see it OUT of softcore and definitely IN as an SSF type toggle on character creation (ALL typos lack of caps, punctuation and general errors are copyright Timbo Industries - Laziness Division) Last edited by Timbo Zero#8289 on Dec 2, 2024, 6:59:57 AM	Posted by Timbo Zero#8289 on Dec 2, 2024, 6:59:12 AM Quote this Post

i think it s a bit simpler. that s what they like and since they want to limit difficulty modes they always try to push this kind of stuff in their game. and since very few people like it, they revert. the only question is why are people finding the game not grindy enough not all playing in ruthless also known as hard mode and doing the game with a lot less gear. pure rethorical question ofc, it s because they re not as good as they think they are.

I dont think anything will be changed till a large portion of the player base is actually in End Game so they can feel the backlash lol. Thats when this thread is really gonna blow up.	Posted by ValiantHammer#1178 on Dec 2, 2024, 10:59:45 AM Quote this Post
