Why dedicate my time if I can lose all my XP with a death penalty?

Maybe nobody told you, but having 10-20K REAL players (as in not bots) every league is a dead game...

thats cope and you know it

Probably at least half of the current players are bots lmao

More than that. Don't forget they have to link to a player account's actions so it's generally 3:1

Wait... what do you think 'several' means?

And don't say two... that's "couple". So, be specific since we're going to call out who is wrong and who isn't.

Plus.. there's generally a 3:1 ratio for bots to players since they have to be linked to an account for farming.

Did you account for that?

No?

Weird...

Nah theres no way people play this on other systems or clients.


That cant be true no way, fake news.


Again make sure when you are wrong, you arent wrong with every post. Including your double... triple?

Honestly lost count at this point

This has been bugging me since I first tried POE 1 , if the game had any sort of a meaningful ladder system , XP loss on death would make sense. In the event of a race then by all means , penalize players but simply doing stones or citadels makes no sense. As players we all want to escape the real world and just have fun maximizing our characters . I had hoped with POE 2 being a chance to start over and debloat the game you would have removed this frustrating mechanic ,losing 10 percent on a stone that only gives 2-3 is insulting and an obscene waste of time. Losing XP ON death as well as 1 death = end of stone will eventually lead to player fatigue and lost revenue. Happy players that can , spend money , Miserable players move on.

Nah, I'll be here complaining on the forums in order to shape this into a fun game. Until the devs openly announce exactly what it is they want to do with the direction of the game then anything can change during EA. This is the best time for feedback, and we'll either have a fun game or a dead game.

Oh thank god you're here to do that! Nothing says "I want to shape this into a fun game" than 1000 posts saying "this game is shit, its garbage, they can't fix it" which is essentially every single post you have ever written on PoE 2.

Also.....

Merriam Webster Dictionary accepted Definition:
"Several" = more than ONE is also an accepted definition. Traditionally used to mean more than two, but not strictly meaning more than 2.

I can play semantics too!

You do know the difference between concurrent players and total players, right?

Add the peaks and valleys together, then add at least 25% to get a conservative player count.

And as Mash said, that's only those who play on Steam which we know, thanks to GGG interviews, represents half or less than half of the total players.
