Please change how levels reset

[shadowclasper]

It's the most annoying freaking thing, I jump out to teleport and my map for the level is reset. Plus, it means some bosses can be exploited by killing them over and over again.

Just let me keep my map progress ffs. Mob respawns is kinda six of one, halfdozen of the other, can take it or leave it, but just let me know where I've been previously in the level please?

Unfortunately this bug (cause it is a bug) was eventually just ignored and EHG told us that the people they asked said it was a good feature so they won't be fixing it.

This is all publicly recorded on these forums, so sadly a basic feature of like every ARPG ever won't exist here cause 'some people' EHG asked said they liked the bugged map that resets every time you zone in and out (a bug they acknowledged years ago and claimed was fixed in the MP version when it released)

Jumping in portal by accident is a pain

the thing is that it seems linked to quest progress.

If you've completed 100% of quests on a map, then the map will REMAIN revealed. But right now the map reset function is just busted.

I did wrote about then going from considering it an issue to announce it as a feature, but my post was deleted? I'm going to be nice and assume i did not sent it, even if i actually checked.

No its simply that any zoning resets the map, its just usually the maps are so corridor like and there aren't many dungeons and side paths while doing the quests so you never notice it (much) but you can test it yourself. Zone back to town from anywhere and then come back the map will be reset in terms of respawns (cant recall if it remembers your map vision or not)

Oh RESPAWNS yes, I'm talking the mobs. Though I admit I never went back to see if the voidtainted forge came back even after the quest

I discovered this just now from finally being able to check the test server. It's dumb and annoying for sure. If it's a case of listening to the small few that played the game when there wasn't anything for a year, then it's going to annoy a few of us who have been waiting for 0.9 forever.

I don't remember it being in 0.8.4, but I could be wrong.

This is a stupid feature and it will either confuse or irritate anyone who has played any other ARPG. Lol Why not just add a map reset button instead?

Because imo the truth is they couldn't fix the bug causing it so just reworked the truth into something more palatable.

They seem to be quite at that generally.

when i first experienced this bugged i really think this is a feature, problem is that "the feature" feel so bad and annoy lmao

don't know who is the genius think "this feature" is good

[shadowclasper]

to iterate: this doesn't make me want to explore levels, it makes me want to just blitz them because who gives a ♥♥♥♥ if it's just gonna fully reset each time

Nobody thought it was a good idea, they just lied about that part. They couldn't fix the bug so they just basically farted in our faces and told us a beautiful summer breeze was blowing and it wasn't really a fart at all.

I still suspect their inability to fix this bug was tied to them scrapping the bazaar. Like if you can't stop the map re-spawning every time someone zones there was never much hope a big system like the bazaar was doable really.

Exactly this, but no I was told by various forum users that I'm wrong and nobody cares about maps or exploration in these games anyway. Some of them actually defended this feature by saying "well the loot is all worthless to sell anyway so why do you ever need to go back to town ? ' Which like they aren't wrong but FML what a depressing admission about the game.

Yes. Imho, that´s exactly how EHG wants you to play Path of Epoch
LastEpoch is called "PoE lite" for reasons.. that´s why it´s in decline since 0.8.4
