One Death Maps is a monumental failure.

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.

happens if you try to reinvent the wheel while you already had a solution that worked without any issues.

Oh yeah absolutely the waystone possible abuse case they talked about as well a few minutes later. For stuff being gone from the map.

Done.

Congratz I am not talking about that at all.

Done indeed

Lol ---- so you regurgitate something from GGG interview.

So what?

I like how these are the only posts that gain traction on this forum. They should re name the forum to complain about 1 death and xp loss.

Summarizing
Now its is game for playing Meta only builds and not for casual players wanted to play like they want.

It's not meta only. It's just not for casuals.

Yeah, this is very true.

I really don't recall Jonathan ever saying they'd make an easy mode in PoE2 and, lol, they sure as hell haven't.

I imagine the next 6-12 months will see quite a bit of change but a mode that makes casual play easy I do not expect. It's not the GGG way and on the very outside chance it did happen vets would know the Path of Exile franchise has been abandoned to, well, the obvious

One initial thought that may defend the other (the 2 reps from GGG of the interview) side perhaps...their remarks were quite intentional (despite the lack of empathy), and it was in doing so for the best for the future, i.e. prepare those that think there will be change and that it will be diff from PoE1 (end-game/mapping) but he already knows it's a lost cause (currently leaning towards they are in-the-know re. general community sentiments [and perhaps there really is nothing they can/will do]). However, playing devil's advocate, given the past history of PoE1 and what many others have said for their track record - this also isn't anything new in a way...so perhaps this is again no different, and history repeats itself once again (in due time).

To re-iterate (TLDR): post-interview, (personally) my current (until more data arrives from the community/YT/forums/Reddit/etc) bet will side on past history, i.e. "melee < ranged" and "zoom zoom 1-shot" -- so, no real changes from PoE1, essentially (with the main outlier of the campaign for the 1st ~60 lvls or so...lol --- and new melee classes like Druid/Templar/Marauder...lol [bye Warrior...lol {I don't count Monk...lol -- nor minion/Witch...lol}]) -- and timing-wise, I'll just say 2026+ (so, guessing 1 more year of gamedev until full Release post-this EA).

(Post this interview w/ the 2 GGG reps, I just decided to bite the bullet and re-rolled Monk [finally?] for SSF [felt the additional handicap of SSF would help Balance it out...lol. {Merc lvl ~64, Witch lvl 21, Warrior lvl 66 -- considering trying out the Quarterstaff for my Merc -- Re-spec Again...lol -- and yes, will still be on the lookout for future Druid/Templar/Marauder...lol}])

Seems like you dont/didnt pay attention to the conversation prior to understand why that was the case.

Post is above for you to understand why. Hope this helps!

TLDR: +1 devs

Lol keep Dodgin' my guy. Round 2 lol.

The devs were completely clueless in the interview and basically exposed themselves as only playing something like deadeye or not at all. You could see it in their faces that they really did not have any reason for their actions other than "Uh, d2 did it I guess".

Johnathan played/plays warrior for the release but I guess if you think they are clueless thats your opinion
