Mobs re-spawning when you die

first off have to saw so far I mostly am enjoying the game but there is one thing aside from loot that really annoys me.

Mobs re-spawn ing when you die feels terrible. Also due to their re-spawning any loot they drops disappears as well. This just feels terrible and makes campaign zones feel like a slog sometimes espcially when you are looking for upgrades. If you are fighting a pack and something good drops but you know you are going to die, well better hope you can grab it quick or it will be gone!

I think if mobs didn't re-spawn when you die clearing all loot dropped it would be vastly better.

Plus 1 to that. Have a map cleared, fighting the boss and moving out of the boss zone and then you find death: boom, you get ported back to a far away waypoint and have to clear the map again to get to the boss that just killed you. lol.

Sick minds.
Agreed. Especially if you can't get good loot (which seems like most people) and mobs are super spongy for no reason, and now you have to rinse and repeat if you die? Ew. Feels really bad.
Would you rather have your EXP bar wiped by 10% every time you fuck up or get unexpectedly rekt? Guess what, you can fight the mobs on your way and maybe level up. I think it's perfect design, as in the perfect tradeoff. It would suck if there were a reset AND experience penalty. Alas, I don't think PoE 2 has EXP penalty.

nah its stupid having to re do an area every time just to get to a said point, you dont get much XP in general unless doing at level or above monsters than the XP declines, also why would they put a negative on XP just because you exit a area or tp to town... or for some get crashes.... and or tp's dissapear...

I would actually rather have an exp penalty rather then have to re-clear so long as the most you can lose it back to the start of that level. That is far preferably from having to re-clear mobs and have all loot on the ground vanish when you die.

Also a bit unrelated but I wish we could re-roll blue items. I miss orbs of alteration.

Exp penalty is something that should've been phased out of all games a long time ago. It's annoying at best and demoralizingly unfun at worst.

Having to fight through the same trash mobs you've already killed is also unfun even if it does come with xp gain. Literally ran into a problem where they had placed a mob in the cultist village so close to the checkpoint that I got dogpiled and stun locked before I had a chance to roll out of the way, only to respawn at that same check point for it to happen all over again about 10 times before I got lucky and rolled out of the way, killed them, then teleported away and haven't been back to that shit zone since
