PoE2: One death in map and its bricked.

If you brick atlas at the start, you can restart the atlas from scratch. https://youtu.be/QPrCIqsNtK0?t=20142 If you reset the atlas, you reset the atlas seed. 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. Last edited by drklrd#6377 on Nov 24, 2024, 8:13:31 PM

" At least that’s a solution to the atlas brick solution, thanks for the links on that worry. Still leaves the god awful decision to pseudo hardcore our softcore with ‘one and done’ portal policy :( We also just became the second most viewed post GGG Live PoE 2 thread, keep it coming all, we need this to get attention. Just a +1 if you agree will do :) (ALL typos lack of caps, punctuation and general errors are copyright Timbo Industries - Laziness Division) Any perceived disrespect is unintended, I have High Functioning Asperger's and its socially inept.

" I don’t play HC or Ruthless, interesting that this effective one portal policy comes from ruthless. IMHO it should stay there or be an optional choice like SSF is. (ALL typos lack of caps, punctuation and general errors are copyright Timbo Industries - Laziness Division)

The ‘one and done’ death policy will mostly affect solo players, and at least in POE1 there are a hell of a lot of those.
In group play the ‘multiplier’ is far more drastic than in POE1 and whilst the ‘dual boxing’ you mentioned could work but its pseudo-exploitative (afaik not against TOS but could be wrong, but not exactly fair paying either). Either way it’s not going to work as well (as easily) as in POE1. Afaik (but confident) they said only the person that dies matters, if solo your map is bricked (hence my issue with it) in a group you can be revived. I am unsure if the owner dying bricks and boots the rest of the group in group play. (ALL typos lack of caps, punctuation and general errors are copyright Timbo Industries - Laziness Division)

Incredibly stupid idea.
And I'm almost certain it will end up being changed back to normal, just like the flask refill in town madness. |

" I think we have no chance at all of it changing before Dec 6th, but I pray that after that this topic will get lots more traction and it will be changed back to proper 6 portals solo (ALL typos lack of caps, punctuation and general errors are copyright Timbo Industries - Laziness Division)

Was explained in yesterdays interview with Jonathan on Darth Micros stream.
If you fail you can reset the whole atlas at any time and it resets automatically as well when chain failing. Masterpiece of 3.16 lore

I am a more carefuly player. I am old and never had best reactions.
For me dying in PoE is always the greatest fault which could happen. Only in campaign I sometimes take high risc to spare time or very rarely kill an act boss by "dying". When I look at my deaths: About 25% bad performance = PoE doesn't react in time = no chance for me 25% mob mods and rolls combine to a "unpredictable singular" damage peak when I come back mob(s) don't do any notable damage I would call this deaths "one shots" even if it were a few hits 50% I make a mistake: too many mobs, wrong positioning, too much risc, mob too strong That means for me: 1/2 of my deaths aren't my faults, they happen by design! If that would brick a map even after only 1 death - very bad idea. It would be create a similar bad feeling as when I loose hours of xp because of high level death penalty. I like the idea boss gets life back when you die - if 100% or some lower % is best - I don't know. PoE has more "random" deaths than any other ARPG I know.

That one death map idea sounds quite bad to me, coming from PoE 1 it raises a lot of concerns. Softcore deaths should not feel that bad in my opinion, there are others game mode to make deaths that impactful.
While I do agree that there is an issue with bossing in maps in PoE1, they already showed us that PoE2 bosses in acts will reset if you die. I don't get why it can't just be like that in maps, with 6 portals. It does not allow you to just go into the encounter and expect that DPS and a few deaths gets you trough it, while allowing for mistakes and pattern learing in a not too frustrating way. With death xp penalty still there, that sounds balanced to me. Last point, coming from PoE1, we all know that some wierd things can happen while mapping, one shot on random rare with decent SC characters are a thing. With maps bricking if that happens, I think it adds too much frustration and friction to the endgame. Of course, maybe all thoses concerns will vanish once in game, without testing it's hard to just say "it's bad". I just hope that they might go a step backwards on that idea if beta feedback on that isn't good. |
