What are your thoughts on the current amount of death penalties in game
" True, I think you have a point there 🤔 We Demand "Mana Drain + Regen + Revives Minions + Damage Removed From Minions before Life + Proximal Tangibility" to be baseline on ALL RARES! |

I don't play hardcore because I like to respect my time.
Don't like Hardcore, don't like ruthless... Don't like Sanctum. If the hardcore crowd is gonna call us soft, can we at least get the benefits of playing a softer gamemode? It makes the whole thing really annoying to play. Been doing a playthrough with my brothers and not being able to click [Revive at checkpoint] button because of map loss on death is really frustrating. We still want the boss to reset if it wipes us. is blowing up the entire Map the only way GGG has figured out how to reset the boss? That's weird. There's even a fog wall, which seems like it'd be the perfect way to prevent respawn cheesing. |

" Yes +1 Also remove all mods on gear and all players must be level 1 only. Also remove all classes but warrior and apply -100% action and movement speed. Then the game will have the appropriate levels of challenge. |

All those penalties are just classical game design concepts. You can see the same theme in how GGG insists on "friction" to combat trader bots, instead of using technology and prioritizing player experience.
It's really just a different take on gaming. It's not inherently bad or wrong, just a different perspective. |

I was playing non meta build and with every increasing level it became less bearable to the point where at level 89 I've died couple times in very quick succession and uninstalled, because I no longer cared to re-grind the lost xp. In my view this restricts experimentation and self-paced-discover type of gameplay which I really enjoyed to that point.
So yeah, I'd say lose the xp penalty at the very least, there is already hardcore mode, let casual-like playerbase enjoy your game as well. I don't see myself playing many leagues if every league ends with ragequit on death. One of the reasons I gave this game a chance after a very disappointing poe1 experience, was because respec was made possible (well more possible compared to poe1 at least), so more changes in that direction please. I still have hope that the general appeal to masses might outweigh the elitist poe1 player arguing how his game has to be super punishing so he can prove his worth. |

I don't really understand GGG's thought process here.
At the end of the day, a player can only take so much. Sure some people have a higher tolerance than others but for these penalties need to be justified by the good. What is the trade off. You add something inherently negative but what is the up side? You wouldn't randomly have a build drop dead witha message reading " your character suffered a heart attack ". Only bad, no good. What is the benefit of these penalties? Right now I don't see why it has to be so bad. All you are doing is pushing people to the door. |

Only change they should have done from PoE1 was to remove exp penalty and make bosses reset on death.
6 lives per map worked mostly fine in PoE1 |
