1.3.1c Patch and Answers to Developer Q&A
"What countries will get own language version after Russia? How far is the german translation? Will you provide german only servers or just let us play on the internationals with a german client?"
Dear GGG, i hope its not going to be one of those awful not by choice kind of things when you do add a german client/version. I always set all my games to english anyways, and i want to play POE in english even if there is a german version. I hope i am given this as a choice, not by force. Thank you, Your Cookie Master |

Sadly all his answers are very unspecific and can be interpreted in many ways therefor i stopped reading them after a while, what a shame!

Wow, that's impressive !
Sadly no answer to my map question, maybe this means I'm spot on? :D | |
" Even though I think from a technical perspective nothing should speak against being able to choose your language, I need to second this. Having occasionally browsed through some German translations of PoE skill gems and similar stuff, I must say it feels pretty weird to me. (Not to forget it makes communication between users of different clients more difficult: "Feuersturm you say? Ah, that must be Firestorm. But what the heck is this Entladungs-Edelstein¹ you keep talking about?) And in Diablo 2, having different initials for the same thing (Skill, Item, whatever) depending on the language was pretty silly, imho. ¹ literal translation of "Discharge gem" Crit happens.

Wow, you guys are question answering machines! :-P . Thanks for taking so much time for that.
It's great to hear you are going to translate the game. But it would be important to make the language change optional. There's no case in which the translation of a game is as good as the original so even though I am not a native english speaker, I (and lots of others) might still prefer the english version. Also: In almost all games I as a guy really am not interested in playing a female character. I wouldn't mind to have it as a microtransaction, for me it would be really great to have a male scion or witch. The point is: When you add such thing as a mircotransaction you cannot add it for the initial character creation. | |
Wow, i've read it all; it took me a lot of time but it was well worth it, thanks to the team for answering them. Super-hyped for the future of PoE :D Btw, also thanks for the laughs i got from some of the more trolly answers; the best one imho was
" GG WP GGG Edit: nice to see plans for "hideout-blueprints" in the works; i'd love to experiment with different hideouts but i'm not prepared to scrap the current one; looking forward to that. Last edited by Tom7i on Feb 25, 2015, 8:45:54 AM

Omg, I actually felt a little emotional when I realized GGG actually answered my question and a lot of other ones. Congratulations to GGG for the awesome interaction they have with the community of PoE.
