Gameplay Help and Discussion - Some 0.9.4 footage - Forum - Path of Exile

" Lonexs wrote: If I could ask one thing though, if you plan to make it more obvious when a gem has leveled up, could you add a feature to hide it or somthing? I could see myself accidentally clicking the level up button on a gem I wanted to keep at a lower level. Specially considering theres no confirmation dialogue box when you hit the level up button. Or maybe we could get a box that shows what stats the gem will have when it next levels with a 'accept/cancel ' options to make it a little more difficult to make a mistake. The ones in the actual gameplay area go away when you open the inventory (so that gems you want to keep at low levels don't bug you forever). I do think they need to stand out more.

The only difference between a bug and a feature is the documentation. ;)	Posted by fr0zenice#2622 on Dec 3, 2011, 7:41:08 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
So I started to be much more liberal with my use of Orbs of Transmutation thanks to this video. In other news I am now out of Orbs of Transmutation. Thanks Chris! Last edited by Lionguild#4990 on Dec 3, 2011, 8:20:55 PM	Posted by Lionguild#4990 on Dec 3, 2011, 8:18:01 PM Quote this Post

Well now you're saying that it's intentional for shadows to look goofy in certain conditions. It's a bug in the same way that making a security robot that shoots everyone is a bug: you don't want an idealized robot shooting your cat, but you do want it shooting cat burglars (assuming castle doctrine and some other stuff). ;\| " fr0zenice wrote: The only difference between a bug and a feature is the documentation. ;) Rory's paradox: If it is in the known issues list it is not an issue, and thus does not need to be in the list. :O ps make it easier to multiquote plz ok bye	Posted by caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaps#1680 on Dec 3, 2011, 10:03:21 PM Quote this Post

Well now you're saying that it's intentional for shadows to look goofy in certain conditions. Yes, that's right - when presented with many different shadow technologies (all with their own pros and cons), we picked this one because it was the best for us. We knew that there would be white halos around shadows occasionally due to it. It's not a big deal :) Lead Developer. Follow us on: Twitter \| YouTube \| Facebook \| Contact Support if you need help!

but Chris! Sometimes there are white gaps between shadows! I mean.. how the hell am I supposed to deal with that? Honestly, the lack of support from the developers on this issue is, frankly, shocking. For shame GGG... for shame.

So I noticed there's a 6th passive off the hybrid starts in the vid just sitting alone. Please tell me it's not just 10 in their opposing attribute.	Posted by Squidgyxombie#4102 on Dec 3, 2011, 11:07:05 PM Quote this Post

Pretty sure it is - and it's due to it being a lot more necessary to have easy access to a point or two with the new requirements system. Lead Developer.
