This is where they should have done a better job tutorialing them during Act 1 when they show up. You get points from killing the monsters, but the revived ones from the rituals give less points, so at the start you need to defer the good stuff so when they show back up they are "cheaper" as in you spend points deferring then when it shows back up they cost "less" points at the time even though overall you spend more.
Once you start interacting with the atlas tree part of it, you can make it always have 4, and have revived monsters give more points and cheaper deferrals. I wasnt a huge fan of it in PoE1.
If you really want to make a go of it, it is probably worth buying King runs to get atlas points since getting the boss is too rare atm, then the mechanic gets better.

Took a few days off and re-spec'd my witch. Took away all of the summon points and dumped it into chaos damage and modified some of my skill gems. I'm mowing down mobs way faster than I was trying to use chaos and summon. I'm glad I did this before I went too far in levels to afford all of the refunds

So I have to kill the king to advance the ritual map? Also if I defer the item, the new cost revolves around how much I used to defer it? Does this stack?
it's a layaway plan.
You defer it, and when it shows back up, it is just that much cheaper. That's all.
Killing the king gives you books that give you 2 skill points in the Ritual-specific atlas tree. 2 more for higher difficulty, etc.

Can some of you poe1 nerds explain how leagues work. Do they just reset the entire game and everyone has to start from scratch? Do expansions come out with new content? Are they paid or free? Like what's the normal yearly cycle for poe1 and what you'll assume they'll do with poe2?

All new content in PoE1 is always free. Leagues are mini expansions. They are resets and fresh starts as well as new content, every time. Typically 3-4 month cycle.
When a new league starts your previous league characters move to the standard league (the permanent league). You never lose anything. You can choose to continue playing in standard, make new characters in standard, or create new characters in the new league starting from scratch. Standard doesn't get new league content until the league is over and the next league is about to start.

So how does that Unique belt work that boost stats from rings? Do you just multiply the stats you have on each ring with the mod on the belt and can theory craft what you might get that way?
Also, just got ass raped by some Hasted Rare fucker in 1 split second. 13k ES gone in seconds. Have not died in maybe 60 maps.
RIP experience towards lvl 95. Back to 32%!

Every death I've had in this game, post 85, is just some instakill where I don't know wtf happened. I'm hoping the visual effect changes they discussed in the patch video will help in that regard. Like I just explode and I'm like...well fuck. I seem to go from amazing streaks, clearing like 20 t15 maps without a hitch, to then dying 3 times in a row and ragequitting because I just lost half a level that already took me forever to get to. Experience loss is gay, but I must persevere.

The worst part is I saw this might happen, got stun/block locked and paused the game. Then thought, "I'll just roll out and the minion cucks can kill him!". Yea no they hasted even more and raped me into the ground.

Well I am playing the frozen minion build. That was an interesting bug. Clicked on the hand to start the breach. Then I charge forward launching my eye of winter only to have the entire screen freeze. I could target stuff but nothing was moving or responding. I had to exit out of the game.

Not holding my breath on this one. It was my chief complaint about POE1 and everyone kept saying it was the pinnacle of possible gameplay.

It's a more valid retort to complaints about XP loss in POE1 to say: 'deal with it', 'get gud', or 'gear up fgt', because there was every option under the sun there to become nigh-unkillable with the right set-up. The trick was also doing any DPS while doing so.
In POE2 with so many limited options for defense and mobs leaping on you from off-screen and running at Mach 3 towards your face it's a more legit complaint. All you can do is wait for gear to be added to the game to make up the difference or for 'The Vision' to change.
IMO there should be some penalty for death in softcore, but one that's not too punishing. Personally I think XP loss is a pretty good compromise compared to what they could do.
Now, if you're complaining about on death effects, then I don't think you'll find many people saying they love that bullshit.
