Xp loss makes the game unplayable

For me the game is amazing and the difficulty is incredible. It feels like another elden ring with the fighting and bosses but there is a very serious problem with the endgame and that is the loss of xp on death. Completely remove this as it makes the game completely unplayable after the campaign. As it stands now this is an incredible single player game to be locked away after campaign completion. Please allow me to progress my main character. I have been stuck at level 70 for 2 days now and have completely abandoned that character to start a new character but im already losing the will to continue. The xp leach is a major problem and if you don't remove it soon you will permanently lose alot of players. But keep the difficulty because it's amazing just don't halt all progression at end game by stealing all of the xp for a single death as it has nothing to do with difficulty or enjoyment it is completely unnecessary and of no value. Dumbest idea you could possibly have had.

Ok i have just tried main character again and I have had enough now. I'll check back periodically to see if the xp leach has been removed but this feature has destroyed an amazing game for me and im so disappointed because im new to poe and I have been absolutely loving this game but this end game feature has destroyed the game for me.

So you like the difficulty but can't handle xp loss? If the penalty is too harsh for you you are simply too bad at the game!

Ok pro lol. This feature is not connected to difficulty. Even elden ring never had anything like this. This feature is done terribly. After elden ring we knew that other games would misunderstand what makes souls games enjoyable and completely get it wrong and this is the first real example of that I have seen. And let's just say I'm bad having that attitude and view won't make me or many other people continue playing and spending money. Pointless useless mechanic

Its the only way to make death kinda relevant, its not a huge deal, you have to build defensive layers into your character, unga bunga full dps is always viable as long as you kill everything before it touches you but for ppl wanting to play balanced characters you can make them extremely hard to kill, in the end its on you to change your playstyle to enjoy the game, not the game changing because you cant deal with loosing XP

Your absolutely correct. This game just isn't for me obviously. Felt almost elden ring like at first and was extremely enjoyable but im new to poe and only 5 days in and the shift in the game is huge and not in an enjoyable way. Looks like I'll be sticking to souls games and looking for newer better games.

It needs to go. I just got killed by an on death effect and I have no idea what killed me. I cleared the map, counted to 5 to loot b/c on death explosions and xp loss suck, and I got killed by something completely invisible. I was nowhere near the last rare I killed. I was at least half a screen away.

WTF?

BTW, my stats... all resists maxed, 2K energy shield, 1.5K life, 1K mana with mind over mana. So whatever it was, went through all of that.

Not sure if serious? That is only 4,5k in total, that is nothing. What char level are we talking about?

Guys, if you want to beat the game - just try. Make a research. Try, die and try again...
I think it's fun because of hardness and complexity.
If you want to beat the content - build the character which can do.
You play this game for a 5 days...
I playing PoE (1) sinse it had only 2 or 3 acts (Don't remember) and I playing hardcore and only 1 time I get to maps and die on third map (I use only my own builds and playing time to time) ...
And I love this game.
This game is not for you because you do not want understand it.
This is a competition.
Many players can beat the content, but you can't.
So you bad at it, but want to be the first...
Just accept that the content is available for those who can. 😁
It's your level of knowledge limits your progression, but not the difficulty of the game.
