Who came up with Pluderer's Point?

It's a bit annoying you can't re-do it, but it's only an expedition map. There'll be plenty more of those to do in endgame. You wouldn't have gotten any worthwhile loot either most likely.

" Someone disagrees with you = their a dumbass. You failed, you lost the rewards. Move on, its just some shitty loot from the campaign. Now you know next time to not be a failure, so the campaign has successfully taught you that dying have consequences so your now prepared for it in the endgame. Aka working as intended. | |

Lmao some posts are about to be deleted.
Though I do think you should be able to retry the encounter even if you die in the campaign version. It’s like the trial keys, same principle, you don’t lose the key. |

it's a cool idea to introduce people to expedition, and give them some expedition currency to gamble with, but I didn't like it.
mostly because expedition itself isn't the greatest mechanic imo. I find carefully planning routes is just a waste of time without much reward for doing so, I end up just dropping all the explosives quickly, only making sure I don't make the runic mobs unkillable. the explosives themselves kinda of just pop into existence, but then to explode them you have to travel to the detonator and click it manually. would rather that either there is less explosives with more weight/ animations and the mobs/ rewards more condensed, or let us explode it without travelling back to the detonator. if we die because we are trying to go fast, it's our fault anyway. just feels nicer to have the option if convenience & speed is what we are going for. it also makes just as much sense to tell the NPC to blow it while you stand back as it does to do it yourself the worst problem of all is the clicking. oh lord the clicking. so many small currencies that aren't stacked and then all of the lockers with more of them. in trade it feels like you are making less than 1ex for clicking for longer than half the map would take if you ask me, by dying you didn't miss out on much. unless you get incredibly lucky it's not gonna make a difference anyway. I completed it, and it was for sure disappointing. spending all that extra time picking up map pieces, to have it be an optional mechanic I don't like, that gave me essentially nothing. Worst part is, I couldn't remember if it gave anything else and I did it when I rerolled too lmao. The shark fin is also bad design, locking a skill gem behind an NPC that you only interact with on certain paths or at the end, while you have this giant 4x4 fin in your inventory is just dumb. just let us turn it in straight away or "eat" it like the permanent increases If you're gonna make the player jump through hoops, it better be something good like skill points or a permanent bonus. a free logbook or skill gem when you are essentially ready for maps already is just whatever.

" It isn't one-off. It's only one-off for that character. Your second character in the league can still run it. I could see value in adding a voice line that telegraphs that death = no treasure. SSF Rise of the Abyssal Ice Strike Invoker, high survivability and fast clear speed. Deprioritize armor and resistances; prioritize crafting a weapon and faster start of ES recharge. Build is shown at level 47, end of Act 3. It tore through Act 3 like butter.

" Again, I've said it before but disagreeing with my argument doesn't make you a dumbass. It's the fact that those two cannot read hence why I called them as such. Just like you right now: "hurr durr you failed map. hurr" The problem isn't about dying and losing everything. It's the fact that said punishment is too harsh. Is not implementing another method to be able to retry the quest without making an entirely new character that hard? I get that it's a one-off thing, but if you read the thread, it should only be AFTER COMPLETING SAID QUEST. It's a campaign quest for christ's sake. The lesson they only taught to new players who have no idea about the game would only assume that, that quest is bugged. |

" Ah, glad to know I didn't missed much. But yeah, if that's the reward it isn't really worth it that much. But it's still sad that you can't really retry the entire thing if you died and making a new character is your only way to do so. |
