Just lost 6 hours of progress in xp

[Psycha]

Remove xp on death in maps if they are going to continue to provide endless 1 shots and make you sweat when you see colors blink on the ground.

I know we cant have both so either remove xp penality or keep it then just give us all portals for attempts.

Gonna wait till next patch now. I've had it for this week.

Go ahead and say "git gud" or "rekt son" all you want. I want to play the game, not be punished for playing. Capped rez, mega energy shield, 90% evasion.. Many layered defenses and BAM 1 shots from tiny timmy in the middle of 100's of effects.

Feels like PoE 1 all over again with this endgame. Yes spout EA all you want to. Cant wait to be right when they come back from holidays when they fix ascendancy trials and make endgame not a sweat fest.

Oh you poor soul, If you keep dying over and over again to where it actually becomes a problem, change your playstyle, perhaps looking into upgrading your gear by farming content you can actually manage, or even changing your build to actually survive?

Have you even done any higher tier maps. It's not even about gear or skill there can be so much stuff on the screen and a single pixel can touch you and it can just one shot you even with maxed out res. The xp lose doesnt even matter until you are like level 80ish and then one single death to bs you couldn't even see can literally set your grinding back days. It is a dumb mechanic that doesn't make the game harder it is just a slap in your face and a massive waste of your time.

On level 81 it took me about an hour to get to 82. So are you doing higher tier maps?

They should just let people run through every act again as an alternative to doing maps.

i was unhappy in poe 1 when i got to end game and found out i couldnt just simply go through all the acts again. Thats when i stopped playing.

when i got to maps in poe 1 and 2 thats when i quit them both.

As I said it doesn't even start to matter until level 80ish. Every level the xp needed gets exponentially higher. Unless you can somehow maintain xp boost waystones it becomes an incredible grind.

Yes I know. And xp boost waystones barely do anything. It's just that when you're 90 and every monster is early 80 you get just about nothing from them.

I agree with you. It's ggg's way of (very poorly) slowing down progression past a certain point.

To sum it up for most people:

You dont wana loose exp..... then you need to stop dying. You realy wana avoid dying? Start to building your character not for DAMAGE but for Survival. If you watch the characters of the whiners you will mostly see glass cannon sorceres with max damage.

This game is not for whiney kids :)
Yep it needs some balancing in some points but the death penalty is perfectly fine. Just start making good chars who also have alot of defense

Building your character for survival is silly when you need basically ALL resistances capped just to progress and now when you change loot you have to maintain the resistances.... idk what the hell people are talking about because the people who are progressing are the guys who are screenwiping everything not the people hiding behind incredible tankiness just to die in 1-2 hits anyway because the developers did not balance the damage from end game mobs.

Chances are if you are surviving those maps its more because you are wiping out the enemies before they can fill the screen with bs.

This has been in poe1 since the start, reason why someone gets to lvl 100 is so special, also in poe1 that 10% xp loss is at lvl 1, here it's at lvl 70.

It really is and the reason i stopped playing for now.. it feels absolutely awful losing hours worth of experience on top of the one portal per map system they have going right now so i moved onto other games that value my time more.

I feel you only have two brain cells and both are fighting for third place, your comment proves this.

doesnt matter how legitimate something is. They will always say dur hur hur skill issue.

in my honest opinion maps for end game is stupid and there needs to be an alternative.

let people go through the campaign again.

There is nothing wrong with XP penalty on death. Death without penalty is boring . Your build is either terrible or you need better gear for the content you are attempting.
Id recommend learning the game, figuring out why you're dying, and then take steps to fix your build. Go back to content you can clear without dying to farm any currency you need. or roll a new character/. 99.9% chance XP on death will never be removed from the game. Without it lvl 100 is guaranteed which is boring.

Cool story bro

after you reach a certain point everything can one shot you know matter how much life energy shield you have and how good your defenses are and the people who are level 100 probably grinded the hell out of content they could blitz through easily.

Yes?

There is nothing at 100 for you anyway. It's for people with stupid builds and stupid amounts of time.
