Development Diary: End-game Maps

fan-fucking-tastic !!! Hope challenge will be waiting for us ! Appreciated GGG !

First of all, that sounds amazing. Part of what I love about PoE is the randomness and the unique mini-stories you create for yourself as a player, and this seems to embrace that even more.

Why not make some Maps available for lower-level players though?

Because the content will be more than enough for ya to level up. Maps are done for those who seek more challenge, and not the opposite, obviously.

My favorite game company is Valve, because the games they make are fun.

You guys are awesome, the design of this game, from the free to play model 9and the reason behind it), to the passives, levels, and content, is without doubt the best I have seen in a very long time.

Excellent job, creative thought, and communication with the playerbase. I have no doubt it will be executed on the servers flawlessly as you have done so far up to this point. Thank you for the amazing game.

This is really awesome and exciting idea. Can't wait for the patch. Keep up the good work GGG!

This system is truly pioneering and genius.

Look, this is fantastic news and the modifiers add some promising depth to the game but this has been done before. Play Torchlight and you'll see.

Good artists create. But truly great artists steal. :D

And I think GGG are great at taking all the best and making it even better. :)

I think you should be able to use maps after clearing the first difficulty. After that, it's basicly playing through the same parts but with harder monsters anyways, so having some maps to play along the way would spice things up.

I can see the argument, but it's not all that difficult to level up, really, and I think there's no point making it not a purely endgame thing. It gives players something to work toward.

best End Game ever in an ARPG.... BEST ENDGAME EVER!!!!

:D

It's genius
