<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3!

I really hope this league gets a ton of players! And it is nice to see GGG listen to feedback from their players, even if some was formatted pretty improperly.

Alright! now i'm diggin' this!

Awwww yeeessss

Came in on the trail end of the complaints. But GGG made a good move here. Thumbs up!

I've always said that linking, socketing and chroming are actually the 3 parts to crafting that work best (If you think of how many of the relevant orbs you can pick up in the time that you'd use them). That's not to say the system couldn't be improved on.

However, if you re-read my post, I never actually said whether I thought the system was good, bad or ugly. I pointed out that you said the linking system is fine and followed it with, farm for currency to trade for a 6 L. Which doesn't really say a lot for the linking system, does it?

I think it does, because linking an item and trading for a linked item are two things which are inexorably connected. If the supply (linker / possessor of item) meets the demand (guy buying linked item) in a way which is relatively painless for the buyer - then yes, the "linking system" of the game has worked alright.

An analogy follows with mirrors and eternal orbs. I've never actually had one drop, but I've collected enough currency over time to perhaps own them via trade. Does this mean, then, that the mirror and eternal systems are busted because I have never personally arrived at one all by myself? I would say no

nice to hear the hardcore players also, but i think its kinda sad. for once there is a nice event thats softcore only and now because of the lots of QQ u add a hardcore version, dividing the playerbase over 2 different leagues in a big competitive event. would have been more fun if all the players competed in the same 1 month.

but i think there is a good chance that lot of harcore players will join the softcore league after dying too much to the deadly combinations ^^

Agreed.

HC 2 week race...HC race seasons....and now once again pandering to the HC element of the playerbase.

In my view this once again just stamps the softcore v hardcore element into the game.

Now we get more of it with those that consider HC to be the 'elite' playerbase etc.


Pandering to the HC playerbase every time they start raging with their entitlement issues, has ruined a lot of games, please don't take POE down that slippery slope also.

Very very good news!

Really appreciate how you always take care about the community and cooperate with us!
… and thats just one of plenty reasons why i really like this game and its environment.

Good job and thanks a lot! This will be HUGE, can't wait :)

sorry, but this is bullshit!
just because hardcore players QQed, you added this option to the 1 month league?

I'm not mad because I don't want to play hardcore (I don't even care if it's SC or HC), but the fact, that all people (and especially streamers) have to do to get what they want is cry just makes me angry - it's like playing D3/WoW and kiddies crying about not getting enough orange/purple items are getting what they want from mommy-blizzard.

you decided, that the 1 month will be SC? -> STICK TO IT!
I understand that you have to please your customers, but PoE hasn't been this kind of game where the masses cry and you give them candy so they don't run away - don't become one of those game developers!

Happy to see I'll be playing PoE this month.
