So you acknowledge people who throw money at you but not criticism, how strange.

Most people would say that was rational, rather than strange, given they're, y'know, running a business that makes money.

Yep - they made a perfectly sensible change, which most players won't and haven't noticed, and want to do the sensible thing and allow more options in future, but people would rather rage and flip tables than say "Oh, hey, cool, I'm an adult so I'm capable of being patient and waiting for the minor aesthetic option which does not affect my gameplay!".

So they made something slightly worse, but promised to fix it in the future. Wow, I'm so pleased this happened. Probably coming at the same rate as trade improvements and paid leagues - that is to say sometime between the 3 years and never.

Dear Mature Eurhetemec, please explain me (I'm just curious), when exactly I raged and flipped the table?

You didn't, but a lot of others did.

Mr Eurhetemec attacked me personally, that's why I've asked him about explanation. I can't be responsible for actions of others, and I don't want to be blamed without a reason.

Anyone thinks this should be specifically crowdfunded?

Chris should assess the cost of having a switchable UI, then the cost to make each theme and then post a simple poll where you vote with money/mtx points
- Do you want theme X available in the game, donate Y$ to the theme fund
The first to get funded gets done first.

Sure, let's take out everything that was once cool about the game and put it back in as MTX. If people really like something they will pay up!

To be honest, I didn't even notice the design on the globes until I read this thread. I looked over at the game and thought, "Oh yeah, they did change." I'm surprised how upset people are as I really only look at the blue and red.

Will you notice when they add a magical unicorn enemy who shoots rainbow clouds at you? But that's hardly fair to say. PoE is right now much greater than it's ever been, between

- Amazing new voice acting
- Very cool and climactic new passive tree
- Tons of new skill gems
- Actually being able to buy gems for cheap and with little hassle (the most important addition to this game)
- Act 4

And for me it's all marred by extremist identity politics which should've had no place here. I don't even care about the orbs anymore, it's the fact that their response to criticism is to imply the real problem is that their customers just might be woman-hating misanthropes. "What, you don't like these blobby new orbs? Whoa, that's domestic abuse!"

And I think the devs fully support that mod's statement, or an apology for it would've come by now.

Successfully trolled, Rachel :P That m... word triggered a lot of people around here.

Sorry, but I miss the Scion's dialogue. I suspect they may not have been able to get the same voice actor back for the new Act content, so they re-recorded a new actor for her ones, but I miss all the tidbits and clues to the lure and cultures of the game world.
