Who though that "1 death = all portals gone" adds value and enjoyment to the game?

If I’m level 98 and I go into a map and gets zapped and die I don’t care how many portals you give me I am NOT going in back there.

They are just making the harsh part of the game appear as early as possible. And this is exactly in line with the design mentality how hard day 1 Act 1 is (nothing to buy on trade).

That being said I know what is happening it doesn’t mean I like what is happening. I think it should be easier at the start and gradually get more serious later.

Act 1 boss should be to teach you not gate you. Act 6 boss can be as hard as f and give you all the final boss vibes so you feel victorious when defeating it.

GGG has the data and I would bet, that there are alot of accounts with some characters between 65-75, that are not played anymore, but new chars are leveled up.

Yup, I am one of those ppl, abandoned the blood witch I had because I was dying too often to normal mobs, bosses were a breeze but only IF I managed to stay alive till I got there. Changed the build many times, lost a lot of dps to boost En shield as much as I could and I still got one shot by some random thing.
Gave up in the end and made a ranger.

Respect! I went bloodmage and could immediately lay down the character, bc I I killed myself with 2 spells and wasn't able to get the gear or respects, I would have needed just to try to finish the campaign. I did a furious rant-thread about it.

But about the topic: I think, ppl wouldn't be so mad about the 1-portal-thing, if the game wasn't such fun.
Like with my bloodmage: after I raged, I instantly made a new character, bc I really really like the gameplay as such :)

Probably some masochist, that's the only explanation.

6 portal system works well for a reason. GGG tried to fix something that isn't broken, the solution here is to just allow players to use all 6 of their portals if they die.

I prefer to see it as the Dev's have one chance to get it right ... not me.
6 portals you can tolerate certain bad game elemets.

I died cause i couldn't see my character through the geometry.. ok try again
I died cause a ground effect i was standing on when i looted .... ok try again
I died to a mob explosion i didnt know was there because loot and ground effects blocked my vision... ok try again ...

but with one portal.... that game play better be tight !!!
one chance !

I do. I enjoy the tension and I die very infrequently, so it's never been a problem.

I love how many people hate 1 death maps but insist that 10%-15% EXP loss on death is fine as a way to "teach you to make your build better." How is 1 death maps not doing exactly that...?

Make more defensive builds. Yes, there's a few thing that are overtuned despite doing that. If those things got nerfed, would the people crying about 1 death maps stop?

If they made it so that pinnacle bosses were retry until you give up or leave the arena map (and death would put you at the entrance of the fight like Checkpoints in the campaign did), would you suddenly be okay with this system?

If you answered yes to the hypotheticals I've put here, then your problem isn't 1 death maps.

How come your friend can but you can’t?

Doesn’t seem like the games fault

Because of the one death per map. Are we on the same page?
