The new portal system is a good compromise

In regards of overcomming obstacles with knowledge poe is one of the most difficult games out there. I do not want to downplay that. I have great respect for the people that figure out all the meta. I just scratch at that part and just am happy about myself from time to time to find something that works. Mostly it is that I found myself in a spot thinking like how even. Now the map closed with the pack that just killed me, I do not even know why and now I cant go look what are the modifiers that killed me. So basically I have to go third party and search what kills me. If you decide to go off meta, you most likely wont find anything that helps you.

A good compromise would be giving people 2 or 3 attempts at any map. This only applies to maps that aren't even worth doing. It basically amounts to nothing.

Not that easy to get the currency for a temporalis before you are lv90. You really need to know what you are doing.

Everything hard in this game is just a matter of currency and 5 minute google.

This. It´s just how to farm and what, that has nothing to do with personal skill or difficulty.

Yet I still see people here demanding 6 portals on all maps. If you get to t15 maps and are dying then there is something wrong with your build and you need to start over or re work it somehow.

Deaths need to have consequence. Since I've been waiting for new poe league I have been trying out Last Epoch. And I have been horribly bored the whole time. Deaths have no weight or any meaningful impact. It's just a second monitor game to play while you watch a video on youtube.

This is a good compromise. If you want 6 portals on everything just go play LE or D4 where deaths mean nothing. Now, little Timmy, before you write just go play hardcore if you want a challenge. Deleting your char on death is not the same as losing the map and 10 percent xp. It is not a valid argument.

Feel free to whip yourself every time you die in videogame, you'll get your consequence:) Or go without food until you recoup every exp penalty.

As for others, let them decide for themselves what is personally meaningful or engaging and what is not.

This argument of make your own challenge is annoying. If you want a game that doesn't challenge you then go play the 100s of them out there. Leave our game alone. You have way more then we do.

No.. Hes absolutely right. Who are you to decide whats good and whats bad for the game and its community?

there are 2 types of players here my friend.

1- people who just like to constantly die out of no where, and forced to redo stuff over and over and over and spend their entire play session "stressed"

2- people who just finished work or school, wanna to get home load a game and chill without the constant stress of loosing everything from a single mistake

both camps have valid opinions as to what would or could be "best" for the way they play and the time they spend in the game. thats why theres 900+ posts with people like you starting useless arguments....


but you............

you come in here, you make a post directly judging players who prefer a more casual play style with 1% less punishements request... and there is NOTHING anyone else is permited to argue with?

people who love this game but are not as good as some others and have difficulty advancing / progressing due to the difficulty curves and try to suggest alternatives to "add to the game" gets a insta GTFO from you ?

people who dont like to constantly die and loose everything dont belong in this game that GGG created ?

i dont know your experience with POE but if you did have played 10+ years (as i have) then you should know how successfull POE1 without all these punishements was and still IS....

then they added ruthless (For people like you)

what happened? 2 camps instantly got created and both sides where happy
and it took less than 3 days.

now the entire poe2 is ruthless.

if GGG want to be successful they will have to please BOTH camps. period.
so you can insult anyone as you please... but this wont change the fact that who ever you come here to insult, is also right in is own way.





you said:

then you said:

""before you write just go play hardcore if you want a challenge. Deleting your char on death is not the same as losing the map and 10 percent xp. It is not a valid argument""


please take a minute and read your own post. because something isnt right.




whats the difference to you between

-going in a map and die, loose the portal, loose XP, open another map from the 473 ones you have in stash... and start over

and

-going in a map and die, loose 1 of the 6 portals, loose XP, going back in the map and start over


so i trow it back at you

"It is not a valid argument" thread/closed

Okay if poe 2 is not a hard game then you shouldn't die. And if you are not dying then you shouldn't need 6 portals. If the game is not hard then you should not die.

But the cope is oh it's just a time sink. It doesn't rely on twitch based gameplay for it's difficulty.

The difficulty is the decisions you make at level 20. The gear you decide to put on. And if you are dying on t15 maps you made a mistake. Thats where the difficulty lies. Stop blaming the game and demanding instant gratification of the rewards and fix your frickin build.

I'm not trying to change the game. You are. The devs made it this way because they wanted deaths to have weight. I agree with those devs so I decided to play this game.

However you don't like this and are demanding the devs change their vision of their game to suit your playstyle. No. You go play something else and leave us alone.
