After making a bunch of characters I have one major request...

As the title states I've made a bunch of characters and played through the campaign quite a lot times. It's generally pretty fun, and I think going to be a big selling point to the masses because it is actually enjoyable to run through...with one major exception.

The resetting of trash mobs if you die in a campaign map is mind numbingly stupid. I could even see a case being made for it if they respawned the same monsters so that you could learn how to kill the thing that killed you ( but it doesn't it re rolls all of them), but even that would suck because you still have to fight through all of the trash mobs all over again just to get back to the spot where you died. The checkpoints are a little helpful, but only sometimes, because you might not be near one when you get that random 1 shot from some insanely over tuned random mob.

Again it's not that noticeable if you only run one or two characters through the campaign and spend most of your time in maps, but most newer people aren't going to do that till they get better at the game. I get that you want some sort of punishment or whatever, but the bosses do a fine job of dealing with that and do add plenty of DPS checks and whatever to keep the character from zooming to far ahead.

It just feels really freaking bad to spend like 10-15 minutes on a map killing crap because the maps are so freaking big anyway, and then to die like right before the end or whatever, just knowing you have to fight your way back kind of makes me want to turn off the game and do something else for a while.

I know there's a lot of other things to focus on but this one in particular I think will end up being kind of a deal break for a lot of people checking out PoE 2 for the first time.

Over all it's a pretty fun game and even with the difficulty it is welcoming to new players, but the worst thing you can do in an ARPG is take away the players progression. It's compounded 10 fold when you lose it because of random trash mobs, and all of a sudden your not playing an ARPG anymore but a 2 D platformer but even worse because the mobs a re-rolled with different mods, when you are forced to start over, so you don't even get to learn from your mistakes. It's just punishment for punishment sake. And that just sucks. The game is supposed to be fun and that kind of thing isn't fun at all.
