Yeahhh... I'm not the one that doesn't understand that hardcore means 1-death, bud.

IJS.

lol, there is very little about in either POE1 or this that require much measurable skill, if you die a lot it is usually because you aren't doing whatever meta-thing or you need to go buy some gear. Souls games would kill you and the death would teach you something about the run.. ie. some undead guy is hiding behind door number 3 or don't walk over this panel next time. This game just pops you with a corpse explosion from a mob you can't see that is gone with the portal when you die. This game is mostly just stat checks, not skill checks.

Don't forget, you can actually go GET your souls back in a souls game too.

In this game, that 10% exp you spent hours grinding for.. is just gone.

I've been slowly grinding my way through this game as a terrible melee range blood mage build. It was a stupid idea for a character, but I enjoy silly builds, and I never expected it to be good. Unfortunately, it turns out that if your build isn't good enough for hard core, you just can't play the end game at all. I wasn't expecting to ever reach panicle bosses or anything, but I expected to be able to experience some end game content at least. This just makes me feel like I should have quit after act 3.

Yes good take. If you dont like the game play something else.

So, we have new definition Hardcore-lite? Where it pretend to be hardcore but not that much?

Tbh, it should be some sort of challenge instead of normal option. I still don't see any point or benefit for player to that make it 1 portal. Care to aid me?

Be more careful? 10% is already enough to be careful.
Challenge? I think we already have enough challenge with the boss design.
Tension? Monster already hit hard enough to keep you active.
Choice and decision? I don't think so with other option always open up.

If any above is void by any reason, it's the problem with other thing instead (like boss is so easy, you can clear whole screen yadayada)

But I'm sure that if option exist for 1 or 6 portal without reward or penalty, only handful will choose 1 portal.

They're trying to make suggestions to make the game better.

Which is admirable.
