Death penalties a little insane?
|
What’s going on with the death penalties in this game? They feel extremely excessive. When you die, you lose a large chunk of experience, all content in the map itself, charges on your tablets and some only have 1 charge, items if you die before picking them up. That’s a lot of punishment stacked on a single mistake that 90% of the time isn't even your fault.
Players who want this level of punishment already have Hardcore. For everyone else, it feels over the top—especially when the game has so many unavoidable or unclear one-shots. Between visual clutter, off-screen damage, and effects you can’t realistically react to, deaths often don’t feel earned or fair. It removes the relaxed, casual gameplay experience. I enjoy being able to unwind and play without constant pressure, but the current death penalties make every mistake feel catastrophic. One death shouldn’t completely ruin an entire night of gameplay. Please reconsider how harsh death penalties are in non-Hardcore modes. Right now they feel more frustrating than challenging, and they actively discourage experimentation and continued play.

Wrong. 90% it's your fault. If you seek relaxed casual experience then don't play 6-mod T15/16 maps (or maybe this whole game at all lol). Also in Hardcore you lose everything (moved to standard) and not just a few things so you can't compare that really. Some of us wants this kind of tension in a game. Back in the days we even have only one attempt per map but people cried too much so GGG changed that.

I mostly play softcore and I don't feel the punishment that big. It's just a good motivator to get better at the game. If I do not want to lose the map or XP and still like to play more casually I run easier content (e.g. 4-mod map).

" Welcome to poe. When you lose several maps to several hours worth of progress because RNG aligned against you, you must spend even more time in the game and feel more attracted to the game. And the more time you spend in the game, the more supporter packs you must buy. The Vision tm. Edit: also do not believe hardcore players bragging, they all run logout macros. And softcore braggers run predefined meta builds with years worth of game system knowledge. Zuletzt bearbeitet von Echothesis#7320 um 07.01.2026, 15:39:00
