XP penalty and likely 1 portal is NOT going anywhere

One portal: The idea behind it was to promote tankier builds. In PoE 1 glass cannon builds were the go to builds because you could clear faster and still had the 6 portal defense. When you clear 2 screens away you hardly die. Because there is nothing alive. Only bosses sometimes had maybe a second to attack you. In this case you would just go through the portal and continue looting. 0% chance of failing.
If one portal is reverted, we are back at glass cannon > all.

Bro, what the hell are you talking about? Playing a glass cannon is a fucking choice YOU make. The only thing that made glass cannons the go to is that they were far more efficient at farming currency per hour.

And for the love of god, are you even paying attention to what the hell is going on now? Its STILL glass cannons at the top of the pack because the only defense GGG can balance around is all-out offense.

GGG needs to remove the overly harsh punishments from the game until they can properly balance it. I'm sick and tired of losing loot and time to random overtuned mobs and mechanics. No mob in this game should have a ttk on a player that is less than several seconds. Bosses are the exception.

You losing loot because you choose to play glass cannon.

Wrong.
With 1 portal - 1 death and its over, with 6 portals you can ask someone to enter to kill stuff/boss, and still have few portals left. There's 0 challenge, there's 0 reason to invest into defences above bare minimum.

It's possible to carry people in the Trials. It's possible to contact a carry or friend just before the boss so they can kill it.

If you're gonna spew bs about challenge, go to SSF and leave everyone else alone.

I think you misunderstand.

I believe he's saying he's losing loot because he's choosing a more defensive build but it doesn't provide enough defense to actually prevent deaths compared to just building a glass cannon build and killing everything before it can touch you.

The issue here is that the safest build is the one that ignores defenses. This makes the tradeoff between defenses and offenses less interesting.

I said that 6 portals and no exp penalty make maps not challenging at all. Farming 10 divs for casual player is not easy, making good character with 10 divs also no easy, if you deny it, then no point explaining anything further.

Have i said anything about SSF, and how much it's harder to non-SSF, or about anything you said? SSF is obviously harder, like what the point of saying something this obvious.
