but im not looking for extreme punishment. only what's reasonable. i make mistakes, and i lose xp. i fault myself for it, and not anything else. with hardcore i need to learn certain disciplines, builds, principles and i CHOOSE to not play it. Key difference: its my own fault if i die, and i will get careless here and there and i blame myself, while your sort would blame everything other than yourselves.

Is your definition of reasonable such that one death can wipe out progress from dozens of prior maps? One split second mistake/glitch necessarily needs to set you back by many hours or days?

Omen is a workaround of a bad mechanic that requires me to spend currency. By suggesting an omen you are admitting that 10% is overkill. Even 2.5% is ridiculous in the 90s, unless I can actually recover my XP on my body

The omen exists to try and appease the people who spent the entirety of poe1 crying about exp loss. But ofc it doesnt work because losing the exp isnt the problem. If you think losing 2.5% exp on death is a problem then you honestly just have to get better at the game. Theres no way you can be dying that often and expect it to be ok.

The actual problem is this:

Your not good enough at the game to progress. Instead of accepting it and getting better you convince yourself that the reason you cant progress is that you need your last 10 skill points (which give you 5% power at best).
You then cant get your last 10 skill points because your chain dying so you get set back by a 2.5% exp loss. So once again instead of accepting it and getting better you convince yourself that the exp loss is the problem.

The problem has never been exp loss. The problem is that these types of games are hard by nature and there will always be an amount of players that cant cut it so they have to make up excuses for why the game is unplayable.

I see the same problem everytime fromsoftware releases a new game. Theres X amount of players making up some stupid excuse for why their stuck at the game. Weither it be imaginary bugs, the bosses being too hard, losing exp on death, etc. The reality is that the game is meant to be challenging because its targeted to players that enjoy those types of games. If you dont enjoy the game being challenging. Which means punishing you when you fail and rewarding you when you win. Then you need to play a different game.

Exp loss is fake difficulty lol, it just deletes hours of your time for no reason and teaches you nothing. The only thing it does is make people wanna uninstall this game.

1 death every 10 maps, or even 5 maps, is not a skill issue, period. Especially in an EA game that isn't balanced. I could also progress if I wanted to deal with losing hours of progress for my character in the 90s, but the time sink is just not worth it and I'm not alone
