Developer Questions and Answers

I would love wolves as pets, can that happen?

Also who do I have to bribe, and how many tacos will it cost, in order to get a stone lion from The Grand Arena as pet?

Maybe some "Assassin" themed armour sets MTX wiuld be nice :)

How many people have finished 8/8 in the Tempest and Warbands Leagues?

-1-
New hideout decorations? The act 4 objects for example (would be aswesome to get a jewelmaster with these too perhaps)
More items for not-so-dark themed hideouts?


-2-
Capes? More wings? (fire wings, icicle wings, lightning wings, etc)


-3-
Light armor MTX effects? More less-demonic MTX effects? (something for people who don't want horns and skulls)

You guys are awesome!

What genre(s) of games do you think need(s) better representation?

Have you considered making more enemies evolve in higher difficulties? IE: Hillock gains a zombie leap, Malachai gains more AoE, etc. I'd like to see Hailrake get his Ice Spear back in Cruel, and gain Arctic Breath in Merciless. Extending it to other enemies would be even better, with new skills or support gems added to existing ones it'd make for more dynamic gameplay without being a straight stat check.

Favorite Divination Card flavor wise? (Don't say Vanilla)

Thanks!

1) Do you think there should be some mechanism to remove ES to ease RF/Blood rage degen? Last time
we just take EB to remove ES, now only acrobatic keystone left but it isn't flexible for all build.


2) Is there any real benefit of EB in current form? most build are forced to take EB + ghostreaver and reserve 100% mana but this method is limited to physical build.
If i'm playing non-physical build, i had to use life leech gem or certain unique to access to leech. The alternative is to use blood magic gem and few life regen node to recover the HP which work better than EB+ghost reaver (same amount of passives invested, and life leech gem > Blood magic).

Also ES in mana doesn't regen as long as you are using the skill, this make all the ES recovery pointless in EB.


In the end i feel like EB nerf is simply take away the MOM build but didn't compensate anything. It doesn't feel like a keystone at all.

2.1) What about changing it to consume mana first before ES? This way, my mana recovery still remain useful and ES can be use as fallback in case of overused.



3) Why all the leech node in passive tree only apply to physical damage? All the gear also apply to physical attack (except for certain unique). I really interested to invest on those life leech node but i'm using skill like ice crash and it only deal 50% physical damage. Feel like it isn't worth unless i use split arrow or cyclone


EDIT: add clarification

Hi all at GGG.

I'd love to hear from the art department on how they ended up doing what they do, be it concepts of characters, level design, item art, 2d and 3d art etc. Main curiosity being courses studied in over the years prior to being at GGG. Thanks for your time.

WHy can't we save our HO. It could be nice when we worked a few hours on a beautiful ho to save it. Actualy i'm keeping the same cause i'm afraid to loose it, but i'd like to do other HO.

Are paid leagues still in the works?

1. whats coming the next few weeks in Exile?
2. what bugfixes have you planned?
hopefully you can fix the map-crash bug more, since me and apparently some others just crashed out and lost the maps. that was again my highest level map and 76+ maps arent easy to come by even with your so called "fix"
3. are you going to up the map rate or not? your last so called "fix" didnt do much
i DO NOT plan on BUYING maps from other players, thats just it. i will NOT do that
i rather selfsustain my own stuff and the game should let me able to do that!
