Remove Death Penalty

[Happy]

Remove Ascendancy trials or balance them.

Simple as that, or play your game yourself with a handful of elitist jerks.
I just noticed the death penalty, I thought poe2 didn't have that bs scam.
its a BIG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NO!
I'm done with that ♥♥♥♥ in poe1 long time ago, I won't have it again.
You can mute me, you can ban me, I don't care after this point.
I won't play this game again or its leagues with a death penalty anyway.
Its no fun, adds nothing to my experiene or my life, only triggers my psycological defetcs and keeps me under extreme stress for long periods.
There is no point in playing a game that is supposed to be fun if it pushes my pulse above 140+ and interrupts my breathing, giving me living horrors while my eyes are open.

I should've stayed away after refund but I trusted GGG and gave it another chance, and they blow it hard. I was ok with everything, I kept going even through game crushes every hour or so, but death penalty won't pass even if i live 10.000 years and there r no games left to play.

So, this means, you can level down instead of leveling up ? You lose passive points or skill levels too ?

Monk with ice strike, all resistances are capped with %83 evasion, but I get deleted out of nowhere occasionally.

Once you learn to get good, its hardly noticable because you get exp so far from being super efficient at clearing maps.

spell always hit you even if you reach 100% evasion you need the node that make you evade everything in the passive skill tree but reduce your evasion rate by 70%

and yet, despite your complaining, many of us have level 100 characters.

maybe just don't die dude.

Thats perfectly normal for poe standars dont stress over it. Its also the nature of evasion as a defensive layer.
Just play and try to get better/farm currency for another build you like if you're playing with friends

[Skubaben]

why is making things easyer always the "solution".

in most arpg/rpg there is a ingame difficulty slider, You can up and tone it down, With in game loot and character optimization.

in poe there is ALWAYS a solution with some tweaks.

As for trails. Block seem to be an easy way to bypass it. every thing you block is no dmg pluss no honor loss

The penalty is there for satisfaction in overcoming challenges and getting progressively better at the game. Hitting the higher levels wouldn't feel the same if there wasn't a penalty associated with it, especially with the more skill based gameplay they're aiming for with PoE 2. Of course there is outliers that feel ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sometimes but for the most part they're avoidable. Its also to help secure ladders and the races that happen with each league launch.

Games with no death penalty or a very mild one (IMO this is still fairly mild) bore me. Please dont remove it.

The penalty is that you get kicked out of the map and the modifiers get removed.....adding 10% exp just like POE1 is really stupid considering you only get 1 shot this time around too.

It drops my evasion to %53 or so and its really bad for me without armor node from the ascendancy tree.

Yeah if they've brought back the XP-loss-on-death thing frrom Path of Exile 1 I don't see any reason I'd ever bother doing the endgame.

I try to stay behind as much as I can but it feels like getting boosted, not actually playing.

I mean Black Desert deaths run a chance of your socket gems breaking......
In PoE2 I would equate that to having a BiS Yellow item breaking on you.
Sure you can replace it..... but the cost.... or the time to get it could be anything from hours to months or grind time down the drain......

Losing a bit of XP because you maybe didn't play it safe, or got too cocky seems about right....

Sure it doesn't feel good to take 1 step forward 10 steps back.... but I mean if there is no risk to reward it would just seem the game is a mindless grinder then .

[Squirmy]

I don't mind, one way or the other, whether or not they keep or remove the death penalty; However, saying it adds nothing is false. It makes dying feel more substantial, and thus encourages players to try harder to avoid it.

Some games, like Roguelikes and Roguelites take it much further by making you restart your entire run, this game only takes 10% of your exp. I can understand the arguments in favor of reducing the penalty, but I can also understand why some would prefer that the penalty remain as is. Would Dark Souls (for example) have been as compelling if there was no potential to lose your souls if you failed to get back to your body?
