General Discussion - Can you brick your atlas in PoE2 by dying too frequently in maps? - Forum

Nah, just rub some skull powder on it and it'll unlock again so you can use another map on it and go in and die again. IGN : Reamus	Posted by Andromansis#4714 on Nov 23, 2024, 1:03:23 AM Quote this Post

I did not like doing LABS - Once for the Ascendancy is okay but spamming for the Transfigured Gems (Or enchants before that) was a really bad idea. - Never really liked the separation of ascendancies to begin with - Force you to do something you don't want to do ... You chose a class at the start. Rewards linked to certain boss encounters just creates a spam farming for that boss making things even more boring. The visuals feel ... Like they have been used before. Speed of the game is painful to watch (Sorry streamers) - Every single character goes for 30 faster movement speed and a quicksilver potion on POE 1 ... On top of that many use 2 movement skills ... If every single character needs more speed - then the game isn't quick enough to start. 1. If you brick your maps, you shouldn't be in maps, you should have got the hint the previous 3 times you got merked. Its your fault, and PoE has always been about knowledge and managing risks. I hole they don't add a safe guard, as that means you are forced to learn from your mistakes, or quit. If you are dying in your 1st 4 maps its because you clearly learned nothing. 2. Bosses don't magically heal if you die. You died. When you re-enter its a new timeline where your story continues and doesn't end. If you want to say boss shouldnt heal cause you died, then I say your character shouldn't be able to revive. Theres nothing special about you. Why would you be able to revive or get a second chance. 3.Who cares. Games are not rated E for everyone. You got other options, worse options. 4. And? Nothings changing ever. You're not getting skips either. Theres no excuse you can make. Games are meant to be played. Their not made for you specifically. You cant skip the only important unique part of your journey, the beginning. PoE is not for everyone. You are required to invest time to get anything you want, and you cant skip that. If you want a 1 day experience play Diablo. Chroniccomplainerreviews.wordpress.com Your source for quality honest reviews to save you time and money!

I personaly think there shoud at least be some sort of Currency that you can reset a bricked Map. However if we have Level 1-16 Waypoints we can run important Atlas Map Points (like befor Pinnacle Boss Keys) on a lower Waypoint diffuculty to make sure. Not the perfect solution, but at least an option :)	Posted by Raysa92#4867 on Nov 23, 2024, 6:02:33 AM Quote this Post

That is the mentality that makes companies go bankrupt .. " If you brick your maps, you shouldn't be in maps,". That line of thought has been present on at least half of the failures in gaming industry. Not everyone is even a gamer when they get to play a game. You cannot make their first experience be a brick.. or you will INSTANTLY lose half of those people. "Brickable" games are by far far, the most stupid thing a developer can do. Not even From Software finds it ok to allow it. The first time I got to maps in POE 1 I died a good 5 times on the start.. surprise.. on this model, based on the graph we saw.. I would have lost my playtrough. That should never happen.. punishment ... yes, obliteration of all the time you invested? never... There must be a way to at least do a full reet of the atlas and start it from zero again.	Posted by Urza_Mechwalker#7393 on Nov 23, 2024, 6:04:27 AM Quote this Post
