So, maps...

GGG, what's the actual point of 1 death per map? Like really, in the grand scheme of things and all that?
In PoE1 you could die at least the number of portals - if you or your build or items or w/e else sucked, those portals and respawns wouldn't help anyway.

Here we are in a situation when if I play with my kids around, a little distraction and there goes my almost completed map. It's not "difficulty" it's plain idiotic. You want the playerbase to consist only of mom's basement dwellers? Cause that's where you're headed.

I agree, 1 death per map is BS. If I wanted a 1 death situation, I would have made a hardcore character.

This feels like forcing hardcore onto all players and IMO is not good. I sincerely hope someone at GGG rethinks this policy.

i have to agree, its no fun at all.
Why did they make this decision, it only creates frustration.

I really hope they change it as soon as possible.
Getting killed during Lever Animation, because animationstucked and losing a waystone feels amazing.

Agree.

My wife and I play co-op. We get into a new map, I die almost instantly of poison and I have to sit out an entire map clearing.

I can think of better ways to spend the evening with my wife.


p.s.
My wife almost died due to a lever pull-animation...

I fully agree. Dying in a map means 1 map lost. What's the point of the 6 portals? I can see the point of having to redo a boss fight if I die during the fight, but losing a map because of a death is bad design imho. If I wanted to play that way, I would have made a HC character.

They made 6 Portals for carrying magic items + one rare item to Doryani, i guess.

Its kind of an Illusion of an Endgame.

The worst part is, you also lose every event.

You are alerdy punished for dying, by losing 10% experience, losing all progress on your map, lose the waystone that alerdy have 'meh' droprate

And you lose all event.

If the endgame wasn't filled with one shot, i wouldn't care much, but... it is.
You're punished for not having min maxed stats.

GGG, you're heading the exact same way as POE 1 endgame. Lot of us don't want that.

This needs to be changed, this is such a high level of frustration.
I dont want to be punished for discovering and learning.

Weird timesink!

GGG, who came up with that idiotic decision, 1 death per map ?
Please don't do Blizzard type-of bullshit nonsense
