One Death Maps is a monumental failure.

The game is called Path of Exile, and its three core story themes are struggle, injustice, and perseverance. With that being said, why should we, as players, expect everything to be fair?

Also, seeing that you leveled up so many characters you should already know after lvl 90,91,92 there’s nothing of significance left on that passive tree that would warrant someone focusing on XP loss over efficient currency farming bc all your remaining progression is going to come through min/maxing your gear.

Your second thing about caving if enough people demand it was never said, ever.
In a previous interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lB3TM5FrsY Johnathan even said this:

"this kind of thinking, sort of implies and us versus them and thats not how we approach finding issues in the game"


So what?

Why are you discouraging others?

This is a Feedback Forum for Early Access -- they have every right to do that.

GET RID OF THE ONE DEATH MAPS IN THE NEXT PATCH. That's not hard to do. A couple of lines of code.


I have some VERY bad news for you. The way the game is coded right now, it would re-spawn the monsters. They were worried about people cheesing content (I think) during the campaign and that unfortunate respawn mechanic seems to work on any reset/new instance (including maps I think).

They COULD make it multi portals, but it would take some time and they aren't even considering it yet so that clock has not even started. I am getting used to having to play SC like HC and hit escape when overwhelmed. I think this is the direction we are going.

It's not even hard to not die. I think the one portal should stay. I don't think I have died more than 2 times in 20 levels and I am doing t15-16 corrupted maps and both deaths have been to +2 difficulty level bosses. Titan armour build btw.

If you are dying this frequently you either have a fundamental misunderstanding of the game and running around with -10% resistances (we have seen many cases of this) or you are running turbo juiced maps with triple damage mods.

There is not a real problem right now, except for a few select mob types. The game is like 10x less spikey in damage than PoE1. They even nerfed crit damage on mobs so you're even less likely to get randomly nuked. There aren't even any on death effects in the entire game yet its somehow one of the biggest complaints right now.

Well this is a lie, they actually said that they didn't want to give it up just yet but if people keep demanding it, they will cave. Literally watch the last livestream they did where they say exactly this.

Ironic, lying about someone else lying

They never said this. On both of your points.

Heres what was actually said in the recent interview; I will time stamp it for everyone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjxzTAcJqAM

1:28:42 - What is the team’s stance on the one-portal system and XP loss penalties?

1 portal:
"we really dont want to go that way if possible" -Johnathan

"to be a game, you have to have some level of failure possible, the 6 portal thing, to me it never led to a situation where you could fail, so I am not really a fan and much prefer the whole 1 death thing" -Johnathan


xp penalty:

"its kind of an add insult to injury you're also now just not leveling" -Mark
"but you do have to have it" -Johnathan
"true, theres just a few axis that are a bit too severe when all combined together" -Mark

"And I think its mostly due to the number of rare monsters and monster combinations" - Mark

"I personally want to keep the one portal and adjust the other axis' and see how that plays out before compromising on the one portal" -Mark

Don't forget this part, transcribed pretty literally so pardon the ticks:

1:32:25

Mark: "It would be nice if there was a way to deal with - like - it would be nice if there was a way to deal with the fact that - so I mean like, okay, the penalty for not clearing a map - um - we remove the extra content from the map, and it would be nice if you could spend another map and still be able to do that content; but unfortunately that isn't possible - like, so for example, if you failed on the boss, then you just spend another map and then you can fight the boss again and do that whole thing again. Like, that would be nice if that was the case, but unfortunately we can't do that because that would open up too many economic abuse things where like you fail the map intentionally because you want to farm the items from the rest of the area, so it's very difficult for us to come up with a solution, like, because I really would prefer that honestly, so it would be nice if we were able to come up with a solution that would allow you to re-do content by spending an extra map without having to, like, have all of the problems that being able to re-run a single map would actually cause."

Couldn't be more on the same page with the lead devs myself.

You're essentially saying that it'll never happen lol.

That's discouraging them from even trying lol.

Are you some oracle or what?

I am essentially repeating what the devs said against what someone other person claimed what they said.


Thats the only thing essentially being said

Exactly.

Then there's still every possibility what OP wants can happen.

Done.
