Early Access Feedback - Experience Earning reward feels cheap - Forum

EXP at higher levels needs to be more rewarding at least on mapping.... 1 T15 6 Mod Corrupted Map yields less than 1% of 1% while 1 death can and does knock out hours worth of mapping. The EXP reward needs to be higher on higher tier maps... Yes I am already using all the Ritual Omens for this. When you run 10 maps and do not see the EXP bar even move...that's kind of a problem in my opinion...Then when less than 1% of players are even getting to MAX level 100...That is a GGG dev problem or should be a glaring one... I should not be forced to do the Temple over and over over and over and over with zero explanations at Season Begin on how to even use the temple. Then last seasons "Perk" is more rewarding for loot and gear...Temple context* It took me leveling 90 to 94 to even unlock Atziri's chamber and then the fight was over in like 20 seconds minus the cut scenes...very underwhelming... This will probably be removed GGG does not allow people to complain about their game even as a Paying "customer". I guess streamers who essentially are paid to play this game or games get the final say, IDK. Just my 2400+ hours worth of opinion, in the last year...

Very valid points, but you keep playing this slop after 2400 hours... you are telling them the game is fine.	Posted by VenokDracul#4939 on Feb 9, 2026, 2:16:56 PM Quote this Post
Also, why does GGG punish group play so badly??? Loot tables etc...makes so nobody wants to group...Definitely rewards the RMT farmers and screws up the economy mainly for the "average" players...Just again my opinion with 2400+ hours of game time, never once seen a "Mirror" and at most have had 2 divines drop natively in 1 map. Might see 1 divine drop every 15 maps or so.	Posted by xenocideHR#0338 on Feb 9, 2026, 2:23:10 PM Quote this Post
I see it validates my point even more. I have spent the time to form a valid educated opinion on this game > end game > leveling etc. 4 PCs this season...	Posted by xenocideHR#0338 on Feb 9, 2026, 2:25:11 PM Quote this Post

End Game Tier 90+ 94+ EXP earning is garbage compared to the Loss/Punishment that happens even with Omens.	Posted by xenocideHR#0338 on Feb 9, 2026, 3:01:24 PM Quote this Post
