One death map got to go.
It does not make the game better. It is not enjoyable, and it also takes away from the mindless chill that is arpgs

This game has no future if you don't get rid of it.

Yeah, I was wondering why it would give us 6 portals, but they all disappear on Death.
I thought they were suppose to be basically 6 attempts, allowing us some margin of failure.

Game is a mindless ARPG with any of the meta builds, the map resets on death is just asinine and punitive only serving to boost the HUGE EGOs of the devs rather than serving the players.

They are currently on a pointless player punishment drive for no real reason, perhaps they don't actually want an active player community but rather a community full of elitists and masochists who enjoy punishment simply for the sake of it.

Even Elden ring is harder than this game and far less annoying to play.

If they truly wanted difficulty they should have tried to emulate Sekiro or Bloodborne, might have been far less brainless than this meta build ARPG.

That very well could be, and if that is the case. This game has no future because that means farming and becoming stronger has no real reward. ARPGS is all about farming.


I have 4k sheilds 2k hp. Double shield with grim. 85 evasion, Pure phys build with 80 percent mana leech to sheild instant.

I can do tier 16 maps, but It is tedious. it is not fun and better gear does not make me feel good.


I'm better than most people at this game, and it is not a matter of can or can not do it. It is more like it is not fun, and better gear won't make it feel better. So I have no reason to farm.

I have to say that when I play PoE 2, I am exhausted after a few hours of mapping, in PoE 1 I can go on for endless amounts of hours. I think most of it has to do with only having 1 life, having to pay attention at any moment, because the smallest millisecond you are not, you are dead and your map is gone. It makes you clench your butthole through the entire experience. I would say it is both good and bad, mostly bad.

I think some sort of a middle ground between what we have now and what PoE 1 has would be preferred. This game really wouldn't work with the amount of lives you get in PoE 1, but 1 life isn't exactly too much fun either.

Yes, for me it is not really the skill needed it is more like. This game has no chill so why the heck am I farming?

I'm at the point where bad luck can still happen with a very defensive build and lets not even add to the fact that sustaining 16s has become a chore.


You can be hard without punishing.

Yeah portal gone on death has to go, this ♥♥♥♥ is stupid. I'm trying to have fun and relax not be a sweat and not blink face deep in the screen.

Game is already competitive for no reason what so ever, and it's a pve game. If they really wanna make the game hard just take away trade. EZPZ. Most people wont make it to end game.

Ya, and it also make sustaining high level maps a chore as well. I spec into way drops, and i have very good gear. I can still get one shot.

It is the rng on sustaining maps on top of this one portal death. It is not fun.

The base game is fantastic. Endgame needs some help though. The major problem that I have with it atm is spawning 6 portals to watch all of them disappear if you die. It's VERY annoying.......

Especially when all it takes is one (or a pack of) overtuned mob, even if you have a very tanky character with 80+ max res and 4k health.

Pretty much only the players abusing overflow ES with over 20k ES are the ones having a blast right now with not dying at all.

1 life no res is pretty hardcore loll This has to change for sure. For me the game is as exhausting as playing a PVP game -_-

feels like a side-effect / limitation of mobs respawning on death..

Now that you can teleport between Checkpoints its completely irrelevant tbh

No. It an intended feature and that is how they want the game to be. That doesn't mean that they won't change their mind if enough people are displeased, but that is their current vision for the game.
