Q&A with the Developers!

So GGG is in New Zealand. The obvious question is, where are the ORCS in Wraeclact?
"You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

How does Infernal Blow interacts with Gladiator´s Gratuitous Violence?
Why doesn't Blasphemy show on the top left of the screen like other auras do?
There are only four rules you need to remember: Make the plan, Execute the plan, Expect the plan to go off the rails, Throw away the plan. Follow my lead and you’ll be fine.
How is your new year guys? great to be in NZ, you're first nation with sizable population to celebrate it, im so jealous
If the concerns about Ascendancy/choice aren't deemed to warrant Development Manifesto real estate, perhaps thoughts in that vein could be shared via the Q&A?
Do you plan on increasing the number of stash tabs available to players by default? A large number of new collectibles (div cards, talismans, jewels, uniques, etc.) have been introduced to the game and yet we have the same number of stash tabs we had in Closed Beta!
1. Is Vaal civilisation based on any certain ancient civilisation or it's a hybrid of many? I've tried to find an answer to this question and found an Erik's slideshow mentioned they're based on Aztecs, but hideout objects in game files have "Inca" instead of "Vaal" in names.
Could we get some more information of what real names and events are reflected in PoE lore, or it's rather intentionally left to be discovered by the community? While some references are easy to find (for example meaning of Vanth Agiel's exile name), many are less obvious.

2. Whether fishing is possible or not, it seems to be the game's biggest Easter Egg. Do you plan to add more Easter Eggs of the similar scale in the future? Are there any which still haven't been discovered?

3. Act 4 is gorgeous, I adore Kira NPC and I like every area visually, but recently I realized I don't really like playing it - it seems to have too 'condensed' content. Do you consider adding any changes, for example adding areas with side quests to it or make in not mandatory to progress to next difficulty?

4. If you had any moments when you were close to give up developing the game, how did you use to deal with it?

5. Does every GGG staff member like games or there's someone who doesn't really play them?

6. Although game performance has been greatly improved, some areas - by coinscidence these with rain - are still an issue. If in your opinion disconnects from rainy areas are not caused by rain, would you consider adding an option to turn it off because of aesthetical preferences one day? I can't stand rain in game, it makes me sad! (and in reality I don't even notice it, so turning it off would be a really cool option) (:

7. Who of GGG staff is the most devoted bookworm? What are your favourite genres? Can you recommend any lesser-known author from New Zealand?

8. I remember mentioning that you'd like only possible item allocation mode in game be Free For All. Have you had any valuable item "stolen" in this or Short Allocation mode? (:

9. I remember that many GGG staff members have designed a unique for Awakening. Who's The Princess unique designer? It's my favourite leveling weapon, I hope to see more pirate-related uniques in the future!
The Bother progress: 11%

You don't even imagine how much harm you've caused. I'm not sure I'll live long enough to finish "The Bother". You're one of my murderers. You will never get my forgiveness unless you make up for what you've done.
- Are there any plans to improve the Noticeboard? Right now it's bloody useless for actually finding parties in A3 and A4 Merciless because everyone uses it for trading. Being able to sort postings by name or member count would be really helpful, as would being able to filter out "WTB"/"WTS". Which brings me to my next question...

- Is the trade system always going to rely on third-party sites? I'd really like some kind of auction house (even though just using that term is guaranteed to set everyone off because that other game made some boneheaded decisions implementing their auction house), but as long as there's some kind of in-game solution it'll be an improvement over what we have now.

- Not really a question, but scrolling with the mouse wheel seems to be bugged. It only scrolls about 1/3 of a line at a time instead of 3 lines, which makes it a pain to scroll the noticeboard or read through text.
I'm playing solo, fighting large crowd of monsters, which attack from every corner, and enjoying myself.

My 4-months old baby starts crying. He needs my attention right now.

I need to pause the game.

Could you deliver please? I know my scenario is a bit extreme, but don't you hate it when, for example, pizza guy arrives in the middle of boss fight? Or when you do Zana timed mission and need to answer the phone?
Not a signature.
Most people ask questions about the gameplay itself but small things like Hideout changes would be nice aswell.

Hideout

• Any chance for a Night/Day mode in our hideout? I would love to change Hakus hideout to night instead of day.

• Can we have the option to rotate an hideout object by 90/180 degrees? I spend ages to rotate everything manually.

• This might not work but i would love to see that 2 or more people could build in the same hideout. Something like "Right-click a friend and give him permission to build in your h/o."

• Could you please add more hideout decorations for every single Master? (More floors)
