Logout Macro ruined the fun in PoE1 - ruins it even more in PoE2 - get rid off it

I always hated the logout macros in PoE 1 most people used in HC and all the leaderboard players in SC also ...

Currently with the 1 live philosophy in PoE 2 it starts getting used more and more even in SC and I really hate this ...

ESC > Logout is basically a must have right now playing HC or SC.


As you can see on my badges I am a pretty long supporter for this game, but PoE 2 really made me quit once i reached endgame ... And if there will not come any changes I will definitely stay with PoE 1 and skip all the PoE 2 leagues.


I am playing SC for a reason and that is playing chill and have fun ... I do not want to get forced to using logout macros or esc logout, which we currently more or less are - if we do not play a absolute meta build that in most cases do not die anyways.

Trying out different builds is just frustrating.

I really hope the devs get some common sense during the christmas time and go away from their 1 live politics because this really makes me quit the game and also a lot of my friends loved the leveling phase but once they got into endgame they said they will not go on playing this game as long as this exists .... we have HC for those that want 1 live challenges, but keep this away from SC please

don't use it?

Who cares if other people do

why bother posting when you dont even read the post ...

I am forced to use it or give up the maps when dying once .. I want it like it used to be and also like it kind of suggests to be when creating 6 portals on opening a map .... let us use the damn 6 portals

It should be removed in HC

It sounds like you care too much about why other people play hardcore instead of just enjoying the difficulty. I can't count how many of my characters died level 10 in hc poe1. But I never once thought about macro logout cause it's just fun having the extra danger weighing over my character.

just play sc. It's not more or less fun than hc. it's really not that deep. if hc isn't for you, it's not for you. If you need help with a build in hc, just practice in sc. We can make multiple characters for a reason.

And if people want to meta macro logout, it doesn't affect you in the slightest. You wanting to remove it to "balance" the game despite the game being pve not pvp makes no sense. Don't bring others down just because you can't bring yourself up.

I agree that is the one of the cheat varieties, but how do you solve the latency issue?
BTW, players, who want to use this type of saving the progress, will complain that the ping killed them. There were players who were manually disconnecting from the server by breaking the wire connection.
So how it's supposed to work?
How to implement it?
Would you play the game where you can loose your progress by lag?
And many players have no respect for themselves or others and will cheat to achieve a goal.
They do not play the game for the sake of the game and the desire to overcome, but for the sake of achieves and bragging.

i don't think you need to remove it, if someone wants to pull their net out then thats on them, but making it a build in option and balancing the game around it (1-portal) is a tad much i agree with OP

This is a different problem than logout macros existing. It sounds like what you really don't like is 1 life per map, not that there are logout macros.
