10% xp penalty is far too frustrating

Just at least nerf the % above 90. Levels 60 - 80 I get if you die you’re like meant to suffer (get good) but that xp is pretty easy to get back just don’t bum rush, when you hit 90 however that’s a different beast, I had a huge few days of currency accumulating close to 70 divine in 3 days but in those 3 days I only got 1 level and I’m good, the amount of concealed one shot attacks is insane, I have saved every clip and slowed them down and I still can’t see what’s hitting me, something is wrong and if you can’t fix these bugs nerf it coz I should be over the moon with 70 divine in 3 days not suicidal.

XP loss is a problem, because XP gain is too slow. We don't have 85+ lvl areas to play. You're basically grinding 10 or more levels below, why? Because artificially slowing down progress lets you have 1 more cheap "big goal". Ok dev.

+1 the XP lost is the most crap.. i can redo a map but you lose like 4 hour game play from one idiot mob from 91 level

deaths should be punishing (please play hardcore instead). if you dont, farm the item that protects the exp loss by 75% - and farm it hard untill you have enough to push higher in the ladder. Not everyone should be able to reach lvl 100, it should be a feat. currently its to easy.

PSA everyone there is an omen that prevents your death and an omen that prevents 75% of xp loss. I am using both and I recommend you do as well.

XP loss is one of the main reason I quitted the game a week ago.

I got stuck at level 92 for an entire week and was never able to progress pass that since I am not running one of these crazy one shot everything meta broken builds that the game forces you to play if you want to have chance at surviving, farming currency or gear.


Losing your entire juiced map and all bonuses on it due to a one shot effect is very demoralizing especially considering how low the drop rate is on waystones, currency and good gear and the fact that you need to use exalted orbs to juice your maps if you want an ounce of a chance to even drop something relevant.

There is nothing more discouraging than spending 3 hours grinding to only lose all your progress in a fraction of a second because you were not able to pay attention to every single pixels coming at you.

I don't mind grinding in game, but it has to reward you at some point and passed level 90 POE2 just doesn't, it is tedious, unpleasant and unfulfilling.

For the time being I cannot give my time to this game even though it has so much potential, it simply doesn't respect it's player base time.

On the way things are going right now I think GGG will lose a large portion of it's casual player base if they do not act on these matters.

I've now reached T15 maps, but since then, I've lost interest in the game. Losing XP and maps is just too frustrating.
I don't know who thought this would be fun for players.
Grinding low-tier maps forever just to farm gear for T15 is absolutely no fun.
