Exp Lost On Death doesn't work in 2025.

Give people like me a league and call it something insulting i wouldn't care but no xp loss is the only difference. it would be very interesting to see the numbers with a fresh start and over a few months.

No xp loss and an good Auction House league? I'd probably pay a subscription fee for that league.

Just play a different game. What's so hard about that?

Given everyone likes to bring up the game is in EA...

It would be interesting if they made a no death penalty + auction house server and see if that retains players more than current servers.

Many may say, obviously it would retain more players.

Then we must ask if the goal for GGG is to "Retain" the largest number of players for longer OR is having a death penalty and no AH more important than actual player retention itself.

On a realistic level, they won't add an AH just for testing as I guess it would take a lot of dev time to build to risk then having to remove it, if it fails.

A server with just NO death penalty would be a lot easier to test for the purpose of longer-term player retention itself.

In EA, why not test different forms of a death penalty system for feedback?

some people actually are doing that.

i reckon GGG prefers if more people play the game.

hence the feedback is where people hash things thru.

as for this topic in particular. its been long discussed. people enjoy POE a lot but want to enjoy it more.

we are already punished by losing portals or even waystones, our time etc.

our time is much more precious now in 2025 compared to 10 years ago.

10 years ago i got stuck at level 83 for the longest time. every death set me back and i couldnt level. but what kept me going was i liked the idea of POE as a game and that kept me going. it was the ONLY game that had what i liked.

now?

if you frustrate players enough, they just ragequit and "never" return.

Just avoid endgame. When you reach it, then that's the end of POE2.

GGG has a specific market for endgame and it's not for everyone. As long as this specific market is happy, then GGG is happy.

It's not hard, that what I'm doing, spending my money elsewhere. I'd like to spend it here and this game is in EA which is when they want feedback.

I suggest you go to a different forum if that upsets you, there are several forums here where you can demand no one give feedback. the Early Access Discussion forum is not for you it seems.

Probably too hard for him to do that

I'm done talking about death penality i totaly disagree with most of what you guys are asking for, i'm just an elitist cult members who is 100% rmt abusing with my mom card and have all my youtuber favorite build copy paste So i can play the game with one finger.

So i guess there's no possible agreement exept this one, ask for a new "easy league" with as less penality as you want, better xp curve better loot better everything you need. I'll gladly support it.

Started to play ranger season 0.2
90+ deaths. Level 81 as of now. Previous season by some miracle i reached level 100. However this time around i think I'll uninstall.

I like the idea of Evasion and evade/doge based combat. However the system doesent work, if you out of the blue get one shotted. It doesn't feel souls like, rather dogshit like.

I cant grind xp past level 90. I either need Evasion/Energy shield, or a ton of health.

Same goes for 'parry' amazon. Its dogshit.

Main point. The system is too oppressive, and disincentivize niche based combat styles. You cant grind xp if you die every 5'th map.

Fix your game GGG.
