Endgame: One Death, No Portals?

[Gimli R. Maze]

Could it be a bug, or do you only get one chance with the portals in Endgame? Because if I die even once, all the portals disappear?

[Grobi]

if you die you loose your map. there are later 1kkkkk one shot mechanics in maps, its super annoying to map in poe 2. but don't panic, early maps are very easy,

[ominumi]

Yep this is intentional. If you're dying in Endgame, you're not ready for it. Go back to farm for more gear. Just so you can get into a game mode about farming for more gear.

yep 1 death and map gone, GGG has said they will be watching this and may change this in the future.

Alright, I thought it was a bug or something. thx guys

Most arpg's have some sort of soft lock to stop you from immediately cheesing the end game content. If you had unlimited lives, even if you weren't strong enough to do the content, you could eventually clear it and get way more rewards than your current level is deserving of. They have one life so you're forced to only be able to do the content if your build is strong enough to actually clear it in one go.

No, I meant that you have 6 portals for a map, meaning you get 6 attempts, just like in the first part of Path of Exile. But here, all of them disappear right after the first death

[Gimli R. Maze]

I was just confused as to why all the portals disappeared. Only one should have vanished, actually. Like in Path of Exile 1

What's the point of the other portals then?

yeah those 6 portals = 6 times you can return to base to refill flasks, trade or w/e else. i think this new portal system is to counter the fact you don't lose exp like you did in poe1. rather than taking your time and being safe to not lose exp, now you're taking your time and being safe or else you lose the map and juice

But you have a free portal button for that.

doesn't matter. just like in poe1, you lose portals either by dying, or throwing a new portal mid map. same here. using portal = -1 of your 6 total portals

But you lose 10% xp just like in PoE1, after you hit lvl 70 which makes the one life/one portal per map even more annoying, especially when its out of nowhere random one-shots.
