are there really hundreds of thousands of players who will be ok with a single death bricking a map?

it's even worse in multiplayer because you loose your waystone if you are the group leader and can't go back at all, you need to wait for the rest to finish and didn't get this to count at the end, bacause you died. Straight mindblowing and not fun at all.
Not to mention that you don't see any effects causing your death ... it's a mess and makes everybody quit group play ... you can't see anything. |

Yes poe 1 was a too easy joke.

No. There's absolutely no way people are okay with this.
There are only a few options that I can see: the new players who haven't reached the true endgame (think juiced T17s + max scarabs or insane essence bosses/etc) in PoE and don't understand that even the craziest build can get RIP'd once or twice while doing that content even though you can push through and finish it. It would make balancing a complete nightmare, and even worse it makes playing it a complete nightmare. You may as well treat the game like hardcore (which MANY people HATE!) because you can softlock your progression so easily. I have tons of issues with PoE 2, I don't even totally understand why it exists tbh- we just had record breaking Settlers league and could have used those systemic/engine improvements over there alongside the option to do WASD. However with that being said, removing the one portal death would at least make PoE 2's mapping somewhat tolerable. For the people disagreeing, ask yourself if you've truly pushed content in PoE 1 because if you haven't then you probably need to sit this one out. |

" This has been happening to me a lot recently as well. I'm now scared to use my rare waystones cause they might just get eaten. For me the biggest problem with maps is just the weird whiplash the game does back to PoE1. During campaign you're trying to combo 8 skills together so you can do 1% of damage on a boss's HP bar but by mid maps you're back to 1 button blasting and melting bosses in 10 - 20 seconds. It's extremely odd that the game play is 90% less complex during the end game when everything is unlocked and you theoretically have unfettered access to any skills you want to slot in - and it seems like to compensate for this so the game can remain "difficult" it just starts resorting to what can charitably called "cheap tricks" to one shot you. I have no solution, just dumping my thoughts really. Last edited by Weaver#3527 on Dec 19, 2024, 1:46:57 PM

I quit at T3. The obnoxiously long campaign right into "sorry you didnt meta build" and losing your maps. I don't ever see myself returning to PoE 2.0 until they make the game less obnoxious to play. If I wanted to feel like I am working, I would go to work. I play games to relax and enjoy my time. PoE 2.0 offers none of this to me. I am sure the sweats love it, but I don't have it in me to work 8+ hours a day, spend time with my family, and then get back to something that equates to causing me stress.
Edit: I also love how most of the people defending this garbage have zero money spent in the game via supporter packs. Last edited by Nulledout#3809 on Dec 19, 2024, 2:34:03 PM
