Will Master Mods have price changes again now that people are aware of them?

I'd expect changes, but probably at the end of the current leagues.

Punishment for sharing "Access to Information" with the community... as expected ... Lesson, keep secrets and become rich...

That's probably because Chris has said he enjoys the reward of players finding a recipe and it being secret still.

By you "mass revealing" it, you have directly caused the price to have to be changed.
It's your fault, go cry more lol.

Portuguese translation and Brazilian gateway, i'm glad they were mentioned :)

am i the only one who finds the increased trust in external trading tools worrying?
how is that correlating with their intention to prevent players stating buyout prices for items?

Paid leagues... wtb plox, beyond torment onslaught ;)

Also why did you remove the credits with music? Will you bring it back?

We had data to suggest that the credits playing when you finished Normal difficulty encouraged some players to stop playing at that point (as they had won the game). It's now only available from the title screen (and that version doesn't have the metal music).

Aww, sucks hearing that as I always had a fun time loading up the credits for a few moments every now an then.

*Loads up some theme music OTHER VIEW - Exile* \m/

Actually is there any chance of getting that song in the supporter pack music collection? I don't think it's in the 32 song release soundtrack nor the Awakening one from what I hear.

Has the addition of another character class ever been considered?

What str/dex/int ratio would it have? We covered all seven combinations with the existing classes.


For this I had actually thought of splitting up the Scion section in two (very branchy) halves. Having them interconnect would be intriguing and still keep the versatility that the middle section offers.

Translation in Brazilian Portuguese...


So much bad experiences with this. Still, good luck.

Awesome thread, awesome job from the community and GGG.

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

92 players. I should have posted about it in the news when we hit 50, but I was overseas and forgot, sorry :-(

Will there be a list of the first 50 8/8 coming soon then? I finished on the 8th and want to know if I made it.

I would like to know this as well, since I finished my challenges on the 10th. I thought it would be announced when the first 50 finished, so I wasn't worried. After hearing that the 50th person finished their challenges around the same time as me, I'm now concerned that I didn't make it in time :(

I love playing games and Path of Exile has been my go to game for the past few months. Me being only 16 i'm looking into going into a field that is involving computers and I've contemplated game design or game programming. Do you have any tips for how I can get started towards this dream?

Get some easy game development tools and start making games! Good starting tools like GameMaker don't require previous knowledge and they let you learn the process and some programming techniques as you experiment.

[Answered adressed to the guy who posted the question, or anyone like him]

Careful tough. Making video games requires, obviously, computer programming. And compouter programming requires mathematics. Like... a lot. Not really "compute stuff" but more like "I have a problem whose statement doesn't fit anything I have ever seen; how do I solve it ?".

I'm not trying to break a dream, but like with everything, it requires work. As a conclusion : you don't make video games just because you like it. You will have to study and work hard.

Will you add an option to rework the text of the auto-afk-message and/or turn it on/off?

Yes, this is a change that is planned. We'll probably add user interface options for setting the auto-afk message and for disabling the feature. Regular afk messages can be set with the /afk command.

Thank you! As small of an issue as it is, this has really been my only complaint since the feature was introduced. This fix can't come fast enough. :)
