Wonder what the patch timing is? Are we going to have a 10.08d this week? 10.08c earlier this week seemed like "stuff we wanted in 10.8b but couldn't fit in". Or are things slowed down on the uniques front because that guy is on vacation? Not complainin' or nothing just loving be kept in the loop! edit: or maybe thats what tonights news post will answer!

A while back when devs were chatting in game, think it was in one of the races, i can't recall when and exactly which GGG member it was that said it but they said that they have a separate league that allows them to cheat and do whatever on. Essentially just a debug kind of mode. Maybe all it is, is that? It's what allows them to do all their in game testing to do with skills and stuff. Think about it, they have to able to tell the game to give them the items to test otherwise they'd be spending hours trying to obtain them just to test them lol. I have no doubt the dev have such debug league for internal testing and development, but this picture seems to be intentionally hinting something. The character from Onslaught league was particularly selected (hence highlighted). I don't think the dev would tease us with a debug mode we will never see :p My guess is this has to do with the secret surprise they have been talking about. A new special league would be big enough to fit such surprise.	Posted by Hornet85#4536 on May 22, 2013, 9:07:45 PM Quote this Post

I can almost assure you that if you have a badass pvp system that is fun, the competitiveness of gamers will go nuts and your game will grow. From what I see, there is no hint of pvp being pushed as hard as some of your other content, until then I find it hard to continue to play content that is repeatable. I know arpgs are hard to stick to if you get bored quick but it would help if pvp was interesting. Right now it has too many issues. I'm no longer playing anymore, I do read your patches every time you announce it in hopes that pvp gets the respect it deserves in your company. At any rate if I'm not back, I wish you and your staff the best of luck. Cheers. This. Same here	Posted by samord#2341 on May 22, 2013, 10:19:37 PM Quote this Post
Hell no. PvP is a terrible idea. That's why it's received close to zero attention. That's why it's a sideshow, just like it is in every successful ARPG. Having to struggle for PvP balance is the enemy of a PvE focused game, especially one that offers as diverse and flexible a character customization system as this. How many times are we going to see games ruined before players learn?	Posted by ShogunGunshow#4998 on May 23, 2013, 12:12:19 AM Quote this Post
I agree with you to a point ... I don't think the PvP arenas should be a main aspect of the game because they would need tremendous amount of balancing but I do think Cut-throat league would be.. It doesn't need balancing and people would play with groups so they wouldn't get killed and it would be fun for players.

I'm gonna read between the lines here and take this as evidence that MoC WILL be back. Eventually. That makes me beyond happy. :D " Bhaya wrote: " lepre84 wrote: (you should add a button to filter staff messages from the forum since few know about the "filter-account-type/staff")!

I do like to do the Races and so I really find this one useful, as the Event kalender is one of my most visited pages just now ;) Keep calm, play PoE, drink Tea & listen to Prog!	Posted by Ezekiel_#5954 on May 23, 2013, 7:03:45 AM Quote this Post
