Q&A with the Developers!

When might we hear more about the rest of the upcoming Ascendancy classes? Still 9 unrevealed, one of which is the mysterious single one for Scions...

Re: Divination Cards

I feel like Divination Cards aren't relevant to me as someone who plays only casually. Leveling in a new league is a big part of my time in it and they aren't relevant to that it seems. (I think I've turned in 2-3 sets ever?) Is this something that's intended? A topic of discussion for future tuning? Where do they fit in that context?

Also,

When teams order in lunch or dinner to the office what's their favorite thing to order?

Why can't totems target breakables?

1. Is there ever going to be chaos/poison resistance option's with any of the forsaken master's work benches?.

2. Is there ever going to be any new character class's?.

3. Will there be different looking character's to select from for each character class?.

I want to learn to programm, im 16, but i don't have enough time or money to do courses, and where i live it's very hard to find, is it possible just for now to learn only from internet? And could you give some tips on how to be successful in that area. because i don't have idea on how this works, how you can start really working with that, is it bad to start at late age? thanks

Q1
Can you explain your philosophy on map drops? As I understand it, maps are restricted to +2 from bosses because you don't want a new player to get trapped in maps that are too difficult for them. But isn't it also bad if players get trapped in maps that are way too easy? Why is it OK for a T12 boss to drop a T1 map?

This.

A question and a suggestion/question(?):

1. Will there ever be an alternate skill effect MTX for Freeze Pulse?

2. I've been through the leveling progression in PoE a ton of times now for different build concepts and ideas. I'm admittedly getting a little tired of the standard story / difficulty progression before you get to maps. Is there ever going to be an alternate leveling progression mechanism for PoE? I honestly think one of the best things to happen to D3 was Adventure Mode and the Nephalem Rifts as an alternative to standard story progression after you've completed it at least once. I'd really like to see something similar for PoE. Alternatively, is there really anything stopping you guys from extending maps all the way down to Lv. 1? I think having the ability to do lower level maps really early on would help to break up the monotony of leveling a new character.

question 1

why is vendoring a 5 link not somewhat rewarding? has this just been overlooked or is there some other reason? maybe part of a little known or undiscoverd recipe?

questiong 2

any chance of adding a slightly more efficient why of "vendoring" up maps? 3 for 1 seems off puttingly steep when you look at tryin to vendor even just 3 teirs up. why else do t1 maps still drop in t15 after all?

Can you name any builds out there which surprised GGG in their possibility/potential?
