Why is there no penalty for dying?

[KillJoy]

Maybe I am missing something, but why is there no penalty for dying? You can die 50 times and don't even take equipment damage...

There is already enough: you miss the reward in a monolith, as well as the dungeons and the Arena. PoE has zero death penalty for newly leveled characters (XP is at 0 past the level) but you still have the 6 portals. Hence, here boss fights are harder.

Thank god there is no penalty for dying, i hope poe 2 gets rid of exp penalty too.

What?

If you eat everyday, that's a reward

You don't need to be starved for a week to feel like eating is a reward


In terms of gameplay

Success = get loot/level up/move forward
Failure = stay at that spot until you work on your character/yourself and pass that limitation

Isn't that a punishment/reward system you wanted?

Doesn't have to be success = move forward / failure = move backward

Exp penalty is POE is a good thing. Getting to level 100 should be hard.

Then go play PoE if you prefer a purely hardcore game. Personally, I quit PoE for that reason and find the level of complexity in Last Epoch to be just right.

Because death penalties feel bad and just leads to people paying for power leveling, so its kind of pointless.

if you want to repair go play d4

You confuse difficulty with fun

The reason POE struggles to grow season after season is due to making things so difficult that new players just give up

Make a character without strictly following a guide? It's bricked now, can't do endgame, easier to make a new character than to 'fix' that character... so most just quit

Die against something? Lose lose lose, quit

There's a reason Last Epoch sold so well on its 1.0, it has none of the negatives that restrict POE to being niche

Hopefully POE2 is dominating in the market and from everything they have said, it has none of the negatives of POE1's tryhardness

Since you are such a bad player and quit a game because of such a small thing, you will soon quit last epoch.
As with some others, the rose-colored glasses will soon fall and the veil will be lifted.

I always find it funny how quickly people tend to judge something that is new to them as the best.

You will soon realize what bothers you about LE, even if this game is more for bad players, there is still D4 which is for even for more worse players, maybe that will be something for you after u realize LE was an misstake.

The mono is forfeit if you die....no one cares about dying in campaign anyway.

[Avalanche]

Well, from experience so far, i have died over 30 times so far because the game decides i can survive boulders 4x bigger and heavier than i actually am in real life falling on me and yet, i die by a slap in the face.....i have died in so many ways that make it really dumb, the elite type enemies main attacks that you would think do alot of damage, don't, while a mere lowly grunt type of enemy can one shot me....it makes no sense to me......this is why i am glad that there isn't a death penalty.

Ironic name.

But anyways, no one likes death penalty. No thank you. If you die in a monolith you get kicked out, thats bad enough.

[Nomeat710]

the death penalty is part of the endgame but lets be real death penalties are a pain 9/10 the only time its fun is when your playing a souls like game......all that death penalties is just a way for devs to add a feature that will keep someone in the game longer

Because I prefer Last Epoch to Path of Exile, I'm "such a bad player" and will quit Last Epoch because it's going to magically get more difficult and "the rose-coloured glasses will soon fall"? What?

I've found the ARPG I want to play. Diablo 3 is too easy, Diablo 4 is too bland, Grim Dawn is too old-fashioned, Path of Exile is too hardcore, but Last Epoch... Last Epoch is just right. I'm not gonna randomly throw up my hands and suddenly find Diablo 4 fun because a PoE fan mocked me on a forum.
