Take your complaint to HC players and see if they think its "fair" they lose a character when they die.

HvC just reached level 100 in bloodlines, arguably the hardest HC league yet. You are here complaining about desync instead of building a better character. Yes deaths out of your control will happen, but you have to learn that using certain skills is asking for desync and you should play around it.

If you think the XP penalty is bad now, it was worst in closed beta.

I always love the rebuttal that "so and so just reached level 100 in HC". It is a completely nonsensical response to desync and the impediments to advancing a build (leveling) it causes. Ok, so and so just reached level 100. So how many fricken hours did it take? Is he a no-lifer that plays PoE 12+ hours a day? Just because a handful of players can reach 100 in the 3 month hardcore league does not prove that desync isn't a serious problem. That is same as our Texas senator stating that if a few children are adversely affected by the Measles vaccine that it must bad for the 99.999% rest of us so we shouldn't be required to get the vaccine. So because a few players do grind to level 100 in spite of much desync then GGG doesn't need to change their server/client models to significantly reduce it. Complete nonsense.

To be fair, if someone has "settled on their current level" (e.g. accepted that going higher than their current level is just a bonus), the current death penalty doesn't really do much to deter this kind of mindset either. Hell, there's even a "cast on death zerg rush" build that kills the boss by dying with Cast on Death linked up.


Really, the current death penalty only punishes players that have not yet realized just how big a task leveling to 100 is.

I love that logic.

Topic is about how desync causes unfair exp loss.

Goetz complains that every topic has desync "brought in" to it. Also fails to see how desync has far reaching consequences throughout the game while insisting everything is fine.

Hilarious.

Hilarious.

And the topic was JUST directed off desync. Now we're stuck back on it. It actually started to become a discussion about the penalty rather than just another desync circle jerk.

I will not support however these claims that because desync exists you can't penalize us mentality.

It literally doesn't matter at all if you support it. It's a fact. People lose exp due to desync all the time. It's not unreasonable to ask for a fix, whether it's to desync directly, or to reduce/nullify the consequences of desync.
