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...

theres already alot of bugs with deaths an stuff and you want apenalty for dying? very smart

Death is actually fairly punishing in all endgame activities. Having to restart a whole dungeon or arena, and losing rewards and stability in monoliths. During story progression not so much

There's no fun in trying if there's not some kind of penalty to failing. That was the point I am trying to make.
What's the reason for a health bar? Just get rid of it and make it so you never die, this way you are in the game without ever loosing any time...

Get to the fight with Lagon and then tell me the game is too easy and there isn't enough penalty for dying.

Lagon is easy though? Am I missing something here? Is he meant to be hard? I'm confused.

perhaps you were overleveled or your class was op for the fight. Lagon is probably the hardest enemy in the campaign. It's a very long fight with several 1shots.

While not every build or player will struggle with him, he's far harder than any previous boss due to a long HP bar and a huge number of AoE oneshots.

Lot's of comments, but no answers to why there is no death penalty besides personal preferences.

So I guess we will never know.

You're the second person I've met on this forum who asks a question, then wilfully ignores a clear answer while claiming people aren't helping him.

IF YOU DIE IN A DUNGEON / MONO / ARENA, YOU FORFEIT THE REWARDS. Holy horseballs. The campaign doesn't have heavy punishments for dying because it doesn't need to; the purpose is to determine if your build is workable or not.

The previous person I met complained loudly and regularly that he wasn't buying Last Epoch because it didn't have a "real" offline mode, after ignoring about 50 people who said you can access a totally offline mode by selecting "Full Offline" in the launch options.

Keep in mind that all the drones coming out of the wood-works to defend the game would also be defending death penalties if the game had them. They're just here to tell you "my game is good, don't ask questions".

The actual answer is: this is a casual game for casual players. That's all.

Everyone here would agree Diablo 4 was made for casuals and Last Epoch is actually easier than D4 from levels 1 to 95 (pretty much all of it). Compare how easily bosses die in both games.

you can cancel the game from your pc every time you die if this is what you need to get off

Because punishing death outside of hardcore is a dated and unfun concept. Same with repair costs. Just get me back into the game faster.

So penalize yourself, dump your items if you die. This concept where you need something negative forced on you is idiotic. If you want a penalty, impose your own. Other people not having a penalty doesn't affect your game.

Penalize yourself, or stfu.

The End.

I would like a permadeath option when creating a character personally. Otherwise the game has been fun so far. On the plus side It's a good game to play drunk and high af since there isn't really anything bad that happens if you die.

There's a Hardcore option, but it merely converts your character into a standardcore character after the first death rather than deleting them outright.
