Q&A with the Developers!

Do you plan to add another type of endgame content ?
Is this what The Lord's Labyrinth is ?

1. What is the situation with blade vortex and PCOC? is this intentional that it can generate a pwoer charge per rotation?

2. What are some general verdicts with the new gems added in 2.1? bladefall to powerful? blasphemy 35% just right? etc.

3. this might be too early to ask, but how many new gems are we getting in the next major update?

4. What is GGG's opinion on the stance on gems that are (almost) never used? gems I would include in this are ones such as elemental hit, ice spear, etc.

1.) Performance improvements, status? :D

2.) 64-Bit native client?

3.) DX11/12 compability?

(Same questions as others about spectres lost when disconnecting and the 32bit version of the game.)

Other questions:

Are animate weapon builds globally efficient according to statistical data?

Why did you choose to keep some legacies in the core game ? How do you determine the items which deserve to become legacies? As someone asked, do you think IIQ should come back as a droppable item (even nerfed) ?

Why did you increased so much unarmed damage? (No reproach of course)

Will you improve the structure of the POE website?

Will you add more orbs?

Will you add some crossbows?

Will we be able to put some effects on vaal skeleton which are not the skeleton statue skin ? For instance a spark spider effect or a dragon fireball one ?

Will you make more tutorials at the beggining of the game?

Can you add a message appearing when we put the map device too close of a wall? Because sometimes portals cannot be reached.

Can you add something in the MTX stash to show which MTX is activated ? In the decoration stash to know how much decorations are in our hideout ?

Will you add more life leech spells ?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

PS: I've read the 60 pages pfiouh!

Good morning,

Straight to the questions:
1) Which RDBMS are you using? Oracle, MSSQL, PostgreSQL or something exotic and custom?

2) What kind of data storage solution are you using? Simple server cluster with massive drives or a NAS?

3) What kind of data backup strategy are you using?

4) What is your IDE of choice?

5) What code version control software are you using?

6) Do you use code version control software to version art assets?

7) What tools are used by Graphical and Audio team?

8) Could you share your user info logging strategies? Do you log everything or just crucial parts? I remember Chris once said that "Person pressed P, and does ALT+F4", at one podcast.

Hey, when you 've added to the game a high-level content? At the moment, after the assassination of Malachi in the third difficulty the game ends ( cards are not high-level content and is not absolutely necessary) ? Do you have any plans to add in the game sets of equipment specifically for the class type ( summoner , and so on ) ? Do you have any plans to optimize the game ?

Would you consider having a valued poster dedicated to scouring reddit for tidbits of information on the game that yourself(Chris) or other developers may have posted with the goal of posting it all here on the official forum?

One in particular should have been posted about here, the possibility to gift MTX's, already implemented for Taiwan...You(Chris) asked reddits opinion on the feature but not a peep has been mentioned here about it

How many new concept skill you made in a day?
And how many new skill pass quality assurance and not?
Do future supporter packs will let player design their own new skill?

ever thought about adding some kind of buff food?

What new MTX is next to come? I would like to hear something about bladevortex MTX and will we finally get some staff skins? Since it is the only weapon type which doesn't have an exclusive MTX to the base.
What league mechanic do the devs like the most themselves?
Also most of all, when will I be able to sort my MTX tabs? it will save so much room and I won't have to write support for more MTX tabs.
