What's GGG's stance on updating the game's voice acting?

We update the voice acting as the text changes or as new text is needed. It's sometimes batched up until the next time we have the particular voice actor in the studio.

Could always skip across the lake and ask Peter for a cameo. Peter loves cameos.

I read it all.

Really looking forward to Act 4. If it comes out during May-ish I will be able to spend time on it.

That was a lot of interesting info. Thank you Chris and your team for taking the time to answer so many questions.

My reactions and response:

EXTREMELY happy and excited to see you're hitting hard on the big issues such as desync, QoL and optimization. Looking forward to experiencing noticeable improvements, hopefully.

EXTREMELY happy and excited with focus on more end game content.

VERY happy to see you're going to leave trading alone, as most of us discussed about in my thread http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1194507.

VERY nervous and CONCERNED that you're looking at 'rebalancing' CRIT aka NERF it to beyond oblivion YET AGAIN... is 1.3 not enough??? The top dps and clearing builds as of now if I'm not mistaken, they're pretty much all casters, dischargers, bow skills.. very few pure melee. Why keep nerfing crit as a whole still, crit is not the problem anymore it's the individual skills being too OP relative to melee... nerfing crit on a global scale again only hurts melee more than anything else.

I Screwed up on the forsaken master question. however I am pleased to hear that the gem fusing idea has been discussed internally. Thank you Chris.

BTW there are currently 8 forsaken masters according to the wiki, and I was suggesting a 9th....


...unless.....

Aand a new reservation, now for Germans. This will be the end of the game eventually, I guess. Splitting community on isolated servers.

my GTX 780 Titan on 6 Players PT got stable 10 FPS..
Is there any plan to improve graphic optimization for the game?

Will there be an 8th forsaken master focusing solely on unlocking more potential to skill and support gems like offering quality or extra levels for the cost of GCP?

Aren't there already nine masters?

Oh, Krillson...

great read, chris is probably now downing a beer after those answers.

rock golem pet massive tease

shame now I want to be able to have more than 1 active pet at a time :(

Thx Chris you got me reasonably hyped for Act 4. No answer about another 4-link source like pants though, does this mean no?
