remove 10% XP loss.

[|Revenge|]

Every single casual player will quit the endgame when they realise their progress can get deleted like that. IF they even to the endgame.

Actually that is what I do for any type game with hardcore. Just because you want to play the perfect immortal god which can NEVER be stopped doesn't mean the rest of the world plays the same EASY mode as you.
Now go back to crying about how you want you perfect immortal god character which can't be stopped.

TBF, you are the one crying.
There is hardcore in the game, so people can play hardcore if they want. but just because you think you are cool when you act all though and hardcore gamer, i can assure you, nobody cares about you accomplishments in the game..it is a game.. its made for the sole purpose of being relaxing and fun.

no go back in game and act all cool and though before your bedtime is up

XP loss on normal has no reason to exist when hardcore mode exists. When it comes to hardcore, though controversial, I'd argue that you should have a life system (even if just something like 1 more life per act), along with xp loss on death, as that'd combat the random deaths that can occur from one single pixel of a projectile, from an already dead enemy, and especially the ground on-death effect deaths, that are often completely unfair to true melee builds, or from RNG bs in trials.

+1

Pathetic mechanic and will likely be the reason I quit earlier than I would.

I've already lost interest when I realized im just going around maps killing overpowered dangerous mobs for no loot. Level 67 titan and a lvl 16 hunter boot unique drops. Why? Why did I get a level 5 unique also? It's easy to quit when you get no rewards.

no it's quick to make the 10% back yeah the game is grindy but 10% is nothing

[DM]

Adding my yes. It wasn't fun in Diablo 2, PoE or in PoE 2.

I dont mind the exp loss as long as you can sustain your current maps. Which is hard for a lot of people atm.

Honestly, the exp loss is no big deal imo. POE isn't one of those games where you're supposed to hit max level then the game really begins, generally you just won't hit max level at all, levels past a certain point just aren't things you factor into your build. And I can't speak for level 90+ or anything, but around the 80 mark the exp loss is a negligible time loss.

The end-game is masochistic, don't play it. I would look for another game. Not worth the stress

Halfway point in terms of experience is level 83. So 10% loss around that level or later is many hours of solid grind.

Agreed. I came from 3000 hours of Last Epoch where the end game is VERY satisfying and feels very rewarding. You can target farm uniques very efficiently. Add that to extremely deterministic crafting and the amazing ability to fuse rares onto uniques to make your own genuinely unique gear makes gearing brilliant and very very satisfying. Plus there is a fully functioning Auction House if you want to trade instead. The game is an absolute joy.

And yes I will be returning there as this game is joyless in comparison. But I want to give it a fair chance, like I did with D4, so will keep slogging on.

The xp loss is there to make being lv 100 an endgame goal. If it wasn't there, everyone would be lv 100 and would plan their build around max level. The goal to teach you not to die, not spam death while getting xp.

That way you actually have to plan your build for the targeted level at which you know you can function. If you have trouble getting lv 90, you have no business planning for a lv 100 build, you need to think a build that can make you better at lv 80-90.

Removing a mechanic is never a solution to a problem in game. The point of a game is to overcome a problem.

If you start like that how about we just remove every bosses, so that there is no problem with dying in boss fights.

Use games to get smarter. that's what games are for, getting better while doing something fun. If there is only grind without challenge there is no point.

poe was never really for casuals, it's funny to see casuals struggling on poe2 with stuff we've been dealing with on poe1 for a decade+ :P

If anything, poe2 is effing milktoast and casual af compared to 1 ^^''
Litterally build/skill issues.

Welcome to Path of Exile .

No, it will stay.

[Sycler]

This game will not keep casual gamers and will lose them money in the end. I am already about to be done. Endgame is the least rewarding and biggest waste of your time. No game should make you feel like that. Neckbeards can keep this game if they stay this way.
