The new portal system is a good compromise

Lets pretend for a second that the devs actually play and understand their own game.
100 hard to hit? It goes against progressing your character, you play one of the 2 or 3 mass clear meta builds and play unjuiced content until you reach 100. Exciting achievement. Basically anything fun in an arpg, progressing character or experimenting with builds, is not a viable choice to reach 100. I always imagine the opposition as a bunch of freaks who sit in a nursing home "deee twoooo, deee twoooo had it". |

" " Here is a wild thought for both of you, leveling isnt your only sense of progression in the game, gear is a massive part of it. you might be stuck at level 90 grinding some juice but you invest a good amount of currency into the build and suddenly your not dying nearly as much, oooh your level 94 now and dying again because you upped the juice for more loot, now invest even more currency into the build, suddenly your unkillable and youll achieve 100 without even thinking about it. That isnt just for "meta" builds either, if you have the game knowledge and are willing to put in the time and investment into building your character with layers defenses and good damage youll hit 100 as a consequence of your dedication not as the overall goal of a build you are trying out.

" my top level char is 96 and i rly don't care about lvl 100. Most ppl in favor of exp penality aren't lvl 100 and probably don't give a fuck you're the one who can't cope with it ego wise :D Last edited by BigBeuss#5956 on Apr 2, 2025, 11:11:59 AM

Had to re-check the thread title after reading the last 2 pages of posts. Why are people talking about XP penalty in a "portal system" thread.
Every other death penalty is worse than the loss of XP penalty, imo. |
|
" Started as portal system is good compromise Went to "giving us respawns makes xp loss so much worse" to "xp loss is the real issue" went to "all death penatlys are bad" There was name calling, there was rage and anger, and nothing ultimately came of the conversation. Ahh the internet :) |

" It is. That's why you have to remind these forum trolls that they have no right to front as a pro-gamer. POE2 is not a hard game. It is Vampire Survivors with better graphics. It is a game where you hold down a single button for minutes at a time and blow up hundreds of enemies per second. It would be like if someone who claimed to be good at Minecraft and then started to troll the Minecraft forums bragging about what a pro-gamer they are on a forum meant for game feedback. It's all so very laughable. And that's the other thing - we don't even know if our forum trolls are even good at POE2. Trolls: make your profiles public at the very least!

" After 4 months? Remember folks, this is the guy implying that he doesn't die in POE2 and that you are a bad player if you do. |
|
" lol :D i beat all the content with it (well arbiter only fisrt lvl) reroll a few others then i went to hcssf. I had no interest in crazy min/maxim as i had rly good gear alrdy and there was no point to grind more lvl when i had way more fun playing other chars, + i never said i don't die anyway. |

" You're missing out on a bunch of consumer psychology related things which is where your point will fall flat since it's mostly based on sunk cost fallacy and failing to understand the market appeal of a rpg, this shit was gone through in a few 100page threads but GGG will continue to gargle their vision until tencent shoves it up because their numbers will not hold up and once again fail against the competition. |
|
" So my point of "if you play the game, know what your doing, and invest in your character you will see results" will fall flat? okay :) |
