Q&A with the Developers!

What's next?


In chapter I, we fight the ghost of a mermaid long forgotten, but resurrected do to the cataclysm

In chapter II, we battle a mechanical demon made of pure chaos and hatred

In the III chapter, we face against a mad occultist, and a man with the power of a god

In the IV chapter, a creature capable of defying creation itself, is our enemy

Thus we end the cataclysm.


You once told us that Path To Exile will have at least 10 chapters.
But HOW are you going to take us that far? I mean, what else are we going to face?
You already outdone yourselves with Act 4
I cannot think of anything more powerful, than a creature capable of resurrecting and creating life from nothing.

got another question

do any of the devs play a summoner build using revenants in some capacity?

reason i ask is the sound they make, im somewhat used to it by now but i was randomly running maps duo with a guy and within 1 one he couldnt believe i played with the sound on.

dont feel obliged to answer this question, just wanted to ask it :p

always like QnAs.. Will look forward to looking at the replies!


e: wow.. Some of these questions are retarded... My opinion.. No need butthurt.. But my god... GGG please, skip some of the dumb ones. Pretty ridiculous reading through this shit.. Always some goofy off centered people..

Why can corrupted rare talismans have less than 6 mods when all other rare corrupted items must have 6 mods?

Would you please reconsider class locking ascendancy skill nodes?

Say for instance I have a character that is a witch, and heavily specialises in having max power charges and trying to sustain them as much as possible, for instance self cast discharge with a voll's protector. Right now we can only see the Necromancer ascendancy class, which doesn't look very useful to such a build, on the other hand, the Shadow's Assassin class looks very potent, with the bonus to power charges and what not. And say for instance I believe that the shadow's assassin class is the best choice for my build, can I either;

1) Will I be able to spend points in the shadow's assassin class if I spend the travel nodes to travel to the shadow start?

or

2) Have the option to change from a witch to a shadow with a full tree reset?

tl;dr as a witch can i spend points in the shadow's assassin ascendancy class?

Why no more mtx????????????

Run out of idea???

A quick question to the designer of atziri:

is atziri bald?

Trading : How difficult would it be to make an NPC with the following behavior?
- allows players to trade to and from, keeps track of the mods on all of the the items players are keen to buy. Increasing the cost of those items and (to a lesser degree) the price they pay exiles for them. Also the more commonly sold mods could have the reverse effect. Supply and demand trader.

Gameplay : How long were developers of the talisman system expecting it to take players to get to/complete the Rigwald fight? Any plans to keep this, possibly with extra level of optional difficulty a la Uber Atziri?

Gameplay : Any types of new base items coming into the game? different weapons or offhands in particular, for instance crossbows and focuses.

Racing : When's the new season coming? What mix of new uniques, and old with new appearance, are you finding works best to encourage players to attempt to obtain them?

Items : How many ways to obtain the talismans (if any) are you wanting to have in the main game after the current leagues.

Talisman league : Is there any way to affect which specific next tier talisman one obtains from a sacrifice? (not the rarity or item level, but the base type)

User Interface : Can we please have chat default to the most recently joined subtype? For instance, if i join a party i dont want to chat in local, but to that party. likewise if i join a specific global channel (coughcough 820 coughcough), i want to talk in that channel, not local.

running a corrupted map in a party and the one and only vaal fragment dropping from boss is ffa. it should be assigned to the maker of the map or one fragment should drop for each player. it's currently little point to play a corrupted map in a party with other players when i can do it solo and have all fragments drop for me.

will this be changed in the future?
