In somewhere like 150-200 T15+ I have died 3 times on 2 diff chars. 1 in breach I was just dumb and stood in a what I assume was a chaos on death effect when I stopped to loot something, 1 again in breach while on my minion char and they all unsummoned because I ran too far, they went poof and I got fucked and 1 where I alt tabbed to do work and came back dead cause I didn't pause and thought I was safe =O

I doubt it gets changed. It isn't a huge problem unless you are too undergeared to blast the tier you're on or playing some build where you can't see shit on the ground. Might change my tune when I swap to SSF full time, but trade league it's just an "oh well" and go again cause really juiced maps are paying out a div+ each run.

Its odd to lie for gamer cred bud. You are claiming you die at around the same rate as the top HC players have.

Tighten up your story time skills.

Made it to A3 Cruel on monk......bought a huge weapon upgrade and shit was super easy. Should be in maps by NYE, just wish Act 3 wasn't so fucking long and drawn out.

Sorry your ego is so fragile you can't imagine anyone being good at video games. Here is just 1 char that I'm on right now to prove dying isn't a regular thing. TY God bless.

I've attempted Zarohk the Temporal like 3 or 4 times now and he's complete shit to fight. Trialmaster I've 2/2'd and it wasn't even scary at any point. If you're looking for your 4th ascendancy I'd highly recommend the Chaos trials (though the 3 pieces are like ~25 ex each) over the Sekehma 4th floor.

Or just get a big dick guildy Pillar of the Caged god meta slut to come in and blast either one for you while you wait in your cuck cubby (like I did for my 2nd character).
How much is that going for now on the market? I had one drop last night. Erm, I guess I could check it myself.....

Edit - 1 Exalted lol. Market trend master over here.

Well Breach Stone level 3 is like impossible for a Minion Cuck it feels like. They get stuck in Gauntlet part and keep despawning and the DPS goes to shit.
do you play with kb/mouse? watched a clip of a chinese player, he would pull the gem out of the socket and put it back, supposedly if they are not on respawn timer they instantly appear next to the player. i play with controller and couldn't try it.

7 deaths to 87 is good. Fair play. Now show me the other char and realize that everyone here has experienced, and probably watched tons of very experienced poe1 players eat it over and over to poorly telegraphed mechanics, screen clutter, not picking ES as a defensive layer, etc.

You are still trying to project "shit player" onto anyone else who is struggling because of innate problems with the game, which can be as simple as picking the wrong defensive strategy (armour).

You aren't proving any points here. You're bragging about a minion alt.

I'm not projecting anything. I've said it in this thread already - Each char has made every subsequent run up easier. I have run all the character defensive options aside from high es/ci so far with fairly good success (even shit ass armor).

Eventually dying will be an outlier rather than the norm for almost anyone, but not everyone has 200 hours in this game yet and hundreds/thousands of hours in poe1/other arpgs.

Havent run high ES build yet and probably won't until the next round of classes drop. So far MoM with high mana recoup has felt by far the best in avoiding one shots, but I ran armor/capped block on my titan and that is my second highest level wise/lowest death char (just dont get got by chaos explosions).

The run up will always be easier, you gain campaign experience and, more importantly, have twink gear which makes it a joke.

Here's me, the shit player, on a minion infernalist after gaining knowledge too. And I completely disagree with your assessment that everyone will eventually not die and this game doesn't have glaring issues that need addressing, especially at end game.

I cannot stand the end game in its current state so I've been doing a lot of alt experimenting and tinkering, that character is obviously naked now, I have 2 level 87 characters that Ive run up to t15s and unlocked full atlas but thats about all I could stomach of pushing. I'd estimate if I regeared and got another 20 levels in maps with this infernalist I'd die probably another 5-6 times.

So I can get there on a minion ES character without oceans of deaths too, most people can. Because ES + Grim Feast are very clearly overtuned. But actually doing REAL juiced content with rarity gear + no deaths? Especially on the run up to appropriate gear levels.... no, thats never gonna be the norm if end game stays in its current state.

So, how do you expect your own end game juicing experience will be altered if (or rather when) they nerf ES and Grim Feast? Do you still think that this version of the atlas will actually make it to full release with no content nerfs? Really?

I dont run es or grim feast. I run MoM with ~80% mana recoup, 2.5k hp, 500 es so they can nerf it to the ground for all I care.

There are a dozen things I'd change about the atlas/map experience before I'd even consider difficulty. It is trivialized rapidly for the hardcore to semi hardcore group and most casual gamers will probably not even make it to maps like in PoE 1 once the full game is released.

My ES/EV monk shits all over my pure MoM caster defensively. MoM is great at avoiding one shots and degens with 5k+ mana and 1k+ regen with great sustain, but struggles on juiced breaches/etc. ES/EV monk can face tank juiced content and only thing that annoys me is degens/chaos aids on ground

MoM is probably safe for now because it requires a fair bit of investment vs ES. And if you weren't an early adopter it got very expensive, fast.

1 portal is almost definitely going to be changed. That by itself removes a huge portion of the "feeder" economy. The people who alch and go lower tier maps and feed the currency drops and smaller ticket items into the economy that the "whales" filter out and ignore. And also the population that does the less efficient content that still drops necessary items. There is an entire, huge population of people who would map and feed these items into the economy if the entire goddamn experience wasn't so frustrating. And yes, it is difficult. PoE has always been a difficult game to wrap your head around. Its not easy for the majority of people to make a coherent, successful, strong end game character.

Most people, even seasoned ARPG and PoE veterans are having, and showcasing, a completely different experience to what you are suggesting. The difficulty (well really the bullshit mechanics that lead to bullshit deaths) will definitely get toned down or the game economy will always be as shit and barren as it currently is.
