I like having just one portal

Well many others don't. It will be changed or this game is just gonna lose soooo many players because of this trash game design.

yes and having 6 portals does not force masochists or "top players" to use only one if they really want 1 portal mechanic... just force everyone to play in hardcore mode in map it's stupid and if that doesn't change not actually they are going to lose a lot of players including me, we are already punished enough with the regular oneshots and the loss of exp without adding this useless mechanic

Make 1 portal an atlas option with an increased rarity/quantity reward boon.

For everyone else let them play without the stress.

Why oh why are you forcing the Ruthless playstyle down the throats of the vastly greater non-Ruthless audience that made PoE and GGG what it is today?

From the "Announcing Ruthless" Post

Ruthless is not a replacement for regular Path of Exile. It's a challenging mode for a specific type of player. A change being made in Ruthless is not an indication that we will make that change in the regular game. In fact, if we felt a particular change was good for the regular game, we'd just make it there to benefit everyone.
Ruthless is not consuming significant development resources. It's a pet project that some senior designers have been working on in their spare time over the last 18 months.

I feel misled and lied to...Ruthless IS what Path of Exile 2 has become. If you look at all of the hallmarks of Ruthless in that post, it is what PoE2 implemented. (Item scarcity, limited crafting, lack of movement skills, skill and support gem changes)

"

Ruthless is challenging and punitive. It contains a number of changes that make Path of Exile harder and allow skilled players to differentiate themselves from everyone else.

It's no longer a mode for the few that like it, it is the entire game and I have no choice in how I want to play PoE 2. The choices in PoE1 were part of what made it great: trade, ssf, hardcore, ruthless, gauntlet, private leagues etc.
The "skilled players that can differentiate" themselves can rejoice in the joy of Poe2. The rest of your player base, which I suspect is not the minority, can do what...gitgud? Or is the plan to sell me a private league I can set up with 6 portals and carebear difficulty because I'm not a 'skilled player'?

If I had known how much of Ruthless had been integrated into PoE2, I would not have bought the $100 supporter pack because this game makes it clear I am not their target audience and I feel like PoE intentionally held this back to get the influx of cash from PoE 1 enjoyers who had goodwill for the game and company.

Please GGG, make maps great again! (●'◡'●)

This is terrible, with all after death's stuff, unplayeble.

Change this system for NORMAL 6 portal like in PoE 1

+1

1 death is bad, I agree

But I dont think that 6 portal normal like the 1st game is a good option also, something in between would be better.

IDK, something like "1 or 2 retries after death".. so it is still somewhat punishing but also letting us to decide if we want risk +10% xp to face the boss or creature that killed us, or at least loot the rest of the map.

Currently, the game is requiring too much attention to be a 1k hours+ game. It's a GREAT playthrough and a GREAT casual game where we return for a league here and there, dabbling a little bit in maps. But that is not what a lot of us are seeking.

You already have two games if you don't want to look at the screen if you're playing games: PoE 1 and Diablo 4. People play Elden Ring for thousands of hours and you have to pay attention to the screen in that game all the time or you're dead.

The point is that this game will die because nobody will come back to play new leagues every 3 months if nothing changes in its design philosophy and so on.

Your post is just so stupid you don't seem to understand it.
You said "take your money to the competition instead", yes I am sure GGG would love to tell people that. Just pay someone else we won't find a solution to your problem.

Died on map this morning, lost XP, thought why the hell am I playing.

The thing is, it doesn't feel more rewarding when you succeed, just worse when you lose.

Think I'm out now after 90 odd hours.
