How Divination Card Submission Will WorkYesterday's Supporter Pack launch was an amazing experience. Your generosity set multiple records for our community. We'd like to sincerely thank you all for your support! We really hope you're enjoying the Beta of The Awakening. One of the things we're looking forward to patching into the Beta is the Divination Card system. Today's news post explains how that process will work, so that Highgate Supporters can start planning their cards. Tomorrow's news will be about a set of three four-hour Endless Ledge races we'll be running on the weekend. We're expecting to begin the Divination Card submission process early next week. We're posting our submission guidelines today so that you have some time to think about your submission before the submission page goes live. Note that there's a first-come-first-served element to the submissions, so it's a good idea to be prompt. How Divination Cards WorkDivination Cards are a new type of item that drops from monsters you encounter while playing The Awakening. Sets of cards can be traded to the Act Four NPC Tasuni in exchange for the item referenced on the card. Each card type drops in specific areas of Wraeclast, so careful choice of where to play allows you to maximise your chances of obtaining the desired item. All Divination Cards appearing in The Awakening are designed by Highgate Supporters. Submission ProcessThe submission page will go live early next week. The page will allow you to submit a card, which we then review. We'll either accept your idea, or reject it with feedback on what to change (for example, the name or theme don't fit Path of Exile, or the item is an impossible one). You choose a name, item and flavour text (optional). You should also specify some theme notes which will help us design the art and to craft flavour text if you didn't write any yourself. We will then review your submission and reject it if there are any problems. The rejection will contain feedback and a suggested fix. For example, if your card is fine but you didn't want to write flavour text, then we'll reject it with a suggestion of flavour text. If you like what we've written, you can then immediately resubmit and it'll be accepted. Once it's accepted, we'll create art, balance it and put it in the game. We expect the process to be relatively quick and painless, though please don't be surprised if you receive a few rejections with advice as we work on fine-tuning the theme with you. Rules for Submission
Possible Item ChoicesWhen picking options, please bear in mind that increasing the value of your chosen item will affect the rarity of your Divination Card. If you'd like copies of your Card to show up frequently, then you should associate it with a more common item. For example, forcing your Normal base item to always have six linked sockets makes it a lot rarer and thus we will balance the corresponding Card's rarity. Supporters can pick an item from any of these categories. Each category has various parameters that they can choose:Normal (White)
Magic (Blue)
Rare (Yellow)
Unique
Currency
Gem
Fragment
Divination Card

I'm really hyped to find Divination cards ingame at some point! :)
E: And a stack of mirrors? Really? How rare would that card even be? I mean if you're not seeing a single mirror in 2-3k hours of playtime, I imagine you would need to collect at least 1000 cards for a stack of mirrors... o.O And Divi-ception: Once the first supporter has created a card for a Shavs, the second one can then create a card for the Shavs card? Sounds fun! Crit happens. Last edited by Inarion1986#5829 on Apr 30, 2015, 2:25:24 AM

interesting
"When I close my eyes, I see this thing, a sign, I see this name in bright blue neon lights with a purple outline. And this name is so bright and so sharp that the sign - it just blows up because the name is so powerful... It says, "Diamond Supporter."

Still think GGG should have made one for every Unique and currency before opening it up to Supporters.
Seem awfully limited and limiting. There's gonna be a looooot of rejections and resubmissions. lol Ascension tied to Lab is the worst thing GGG has done...apart from GGG's philosophy on Trading. Oh and Gambling Loot boxes. And selling out to tencent. I used to love GGG. I supported to ensure GGG remained independent, now I just wish I could get my money back. -_- Last edited by Chameleon#4418 on Apr 30, 2015, 2:21:37 AM
