Exp loss on death topics are getting out of hand.

there are core mechanics and there is balance. you should ask yourself why people are crying about xp loss when the problem is elsewhere. does balance and oneshot mechancis need to improve? sure, 100%. some abilities are not well telegraphed, some things simply hit too hard. some deaths are undeserved for sure. thats a balancing issue and they will fix that like they always fixed things. if you die in the game it has to be your own fault. and im pretty sure they will fix the game to meet that. still, if its people's fault if they die, the loss is fine.

They haven't fixed the one-shots in the 13 years PoE have existed. And to be frank, the issue of oneshots seems to be a issue with the fundamental nature of these kinds of ARPG when they have so many variables. In contrast to souls games or mmos which are much more constrained and controlled. The entire loot/skill dynamic makes it so that players will inevitably blow things up, the avenues of health recovery makes it so that weaker attacks are generally ignorable. Which leaves the actual threats to be oneshot mechanics, but then the game have so many variables and different things that it becomes night impossible to gauge which oneshot mechanic you're facing at all times.

And again, you aren't reading the replies here. Ex-loss on death is not a core mechanic. It doesn't even exist at the lower levels and the game plays just fine down there without it. It's an accessory thing that people would forget even existed once it was removed.

to say "no one cares why it is there" simply shows that your feedback about it is pretty much useless. youre not interested in making the game better, youre only interested in your personal success. people with this mindset bring nothing good to the table

And you're only interested in keeping the game bad by defending outdated mechanics like exp loss.

i play poe for 10 years now, stop making a fool out of yourself.

I've also played for that long. And I'm here saying that exp and death penalties have no place in modern games. They are outdated, and should be abandoned in the early 2000s where they belong. A game that disrespects the player's time will die eventually.

you still dont undestand why xp loss is important to the game, and you dont care why it is there. its only about you not liking it because you cant have fun with it in the game. you should ask yourself whats the real probleme here.

xp loss isnt bad game design, its on purpose and serves the game well. if you are playing for hours and having fun doing some maps and getting stuff and telling me "all the progress of hours is gone cause i died" then this is simply bullshit.
you lose nothing but 10% xp and the map you died in. map, who cares, tier 15 waystones are raining from the sky, they are never short.
the fact that you feel like you lost everything only because of 10% xp loss says it all. the problem isnt the loss. and if you dont understand why xp loss is good for the game, then your feedback about it is useless, because you dont understand why it is there.

Anything in a game can be changed, this is why feedback forums exist. Exp loss isn't some perfect mechanic that should exist, doesn't matter how much you defend it for apparently no reason. It's bad and should be deleted.

Anything can be changed.

Can your mindset be changed to accept and enjoy reality ?

Or does reality has to be changed only for you, to catter to your needs, even though the game is already enjoyed as is by hundreds of thousand of people, exactly because of its design ?

And stop doom-saying, you don't talk for anyone else than yourself. Normal people play the game as long as they have fun, then stop playing when they don't. It's simple. Why do you continue playing if you don't like it ?

Because this is a feedback forum, that's what it exists for. To give feedback in order to improve the game. I think the game is worse for having exp loss and death penalties in it, so I am giving my feedback. That is all. Quite simple.

Doesn't seem that simple when you answer an imaginary question nobody asked you. I didn't ask you why you are here.

In fact, while this is a feedback forums, this is a topic about people not understanding why death penalty exist, so we all understand why you are here.

Please let's get rid of xp death penalty, I don't see why we would need this.

These on death penalty threads are going to continue as long as making these posts is more fun than playing POE2.
