Endgame kinda sucks (gameplay fun but some design choices are no fun)

Not being able to use all 6 map portals like we could in PoE1 does not feel good.

The gameplay is a lot of fun but when you die you lose the map and your xp which means you find yourself in a place where you can't really make progress if you start getting stuck.

The "git gud" crowd seems to love it because it gives them a way to be a piece of shit to the next person which apparently they get off on. but for the general gamer it feels terrible.

making that one change (allowing to use all 6 portals the same way it works in the original game) would make it feel a lot more fun.

the way it is right now makes people like me feel like maybe its not worth sticking with this game. i was looking forward to spending money on mtx and enjoying the game for a long time but this is so frustrating once i got to endgame that im not sure im even going to bother continuing to play at this point.
