Now most importantly -- Give us back 6 portals. 1 portal is regarded.

It's pretty rare that I actually die in maps unless i'm just trying silly stuff -- and somehow that makes it worse. Much much worse.

Losing -anything- upon death makes me absolutely angry. Like no longer having fun angry.

With 6 portals there's no issue. We still lose xp and all that, but dying to invisible shit makes me LOATHE the 1 portal system..

Now that things are in a better direction, lets get rid of this stupid 1 portal nonsense. Get knocked off the RHoa? No chance to live. Off screened by something invisible due to too much shit on the floor? Too bad.


And this is POE, if your suggestion is run less than max content we can't be friends and your opinion is null and void to me.


They are never going to fix invisible monsters/bugs/attacks... so lets not pretend the game is going to function cleanly with 1 portal.

So long as bugs and unfair 1shots exist in the game, 1 portal runs shouldn't be a thing outside of HC. And given GGG's track record of doing nothing about it in PoE1, which is far worse, I have doubts anything will improve for the sequel.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

Na, git gud son.

Though devs, I do miss seeing my portal mtx in my hideout.

It doesn't matter if it happens in 1/50 maps -- it's inexcusable, the game runs too horribly for this to be okay. As for performance, my FPS seems to be cut in half after this patch... no idea why.
Dude that’s crazy. Runs fine for me.

Getting knocked off a rhoa and dying is not paying attention and trying to speed run through things


Getting off screened by something? Film it would love to see it. So would the devs as that sounds like a bug needed fixing with evidence.



Risk reward for portals is what separates poe2 from 1 amongst other things.


Don’t need them giving even more leniency for players not paying attention.

Poe1 is there to play with these systems. Fully welcome to play that

I rarely die, and even so, that causes stress -- stress makes me angry. I'm not here to stress or be angry. I couldn't care less who likes it. I don't. I don't want it in my game. I hope it changes very soon. I'm here to have a good fucking time. Having a mechanic in the back of my mind designed to fuck me over, that could happen at any second? That is just stress every single second of this game. This is sucking the fun out of me like a fucking vampire. Just KNOWING in the background that COULD happen makes me pre-emptively upset. Then when I actually DO die I typically log off for a few days in absolute disgust and anger.

I'm very much struggling to tolerate less than 6 portals when the game runs so poorly even with a new PC system I'm struggling to even render shit.


That said I AM getting 15-20 or less FPS in boss encounters (only bosses) post patch, was at 60+ during bosses before... I literally cannot tell what the fuck is going on with such low FPS, can't tell where things are on the ground, I can't tell where attacks are going, can't tell WHEN attacks are going to land, nothing. I cannot play with 15-20 FPS idk how anybody does. At taht FPS i'm not capable of seeing anything whatsoever... And it's ONLY in bosses... which means every single map ends nearly unplayable for me.

No problems with FPS until this patch :/

POE 2 will morph into POE 1. It's just bullshit that it has to happen slowly. I don't want to wait 2-3 years for the game to be 'better' -- just fucking fix it now.

I’ve got a pretty low end pc and I don’t have that issue at all


It sounds like maybe you got something on your computer that you don’t want and should take it to a shop 😬


You have a pretty unique and SEVERE issue


But yea dying is not supposed to feel good.





Make sure you update your graphics drivers if the game is giving you a warning on load up.


I also had someone in chat help me with long loading screens by telling me this:



I did this and loading is working better. Stuff will be invisible for awhile, until the cache is back up to your level. Seemed to help.

I'm using a nvidia 4060 and Ryzen 5 5600 -- I should not be getting 10-20 FPS during every single boss encounter. Every. Single. One. That makes it actually LITERALLY unplayable for me.
4060? Must be nice




GPU
I have a 2060.

Released in 2019


Im like several years behind your graphics driver.


CPU
Intel i7-9700

Also released in 2019



Im also several years behind your CPU
