Q&A with the Developers!

will u be able to enhance corrupted items?

- Will be a time where i will be abble to buy an item to an offline character? trading his still boring as hell for me...... new trade system in progess for this centenary ?

- Still drop only T1 or T2 map on T10+, with more than 150% rarity, where your promess of rewards vs challenge on map drop.....
The way you have taken on drop map his realy the worst change you ever done for hight level character. Any improvment can be consider in futur ?

Would you mind giving out more information about the tar that can be spawned with the burning arrow threshhold jewel? Some questions that i would appreciate if you could answer are: How much does the tar slow? What is the base duration and radius? Does it scale with area/duration modifiers? Are players and minions affected by their own tar, and how are flying monsters (srs) affected? Thanks! :)

What about Adventure mode or something that makes leveling more fun? I love Path of Exile but I hate leveling a new character. I would suggest that if you have completete the Story once, you can use all Waypoints with every other char.

Thanks alot GGG for a great game! I especially like your interaction with the community!

My questions:

- is there a technical reason why quite alot of information is missing from the char statistics such as minion info (damage, life, regen rate, resistance, crit chance), global/per gem spell crit chance/multiplier, base life, base energy shield and more? When trying out new passive skills or gems or new equipment, I often find that I cannot see directly the effect in currently displayed stats - making it harder to improve/optimize a build

- people mentioned removal of the cruel difficulty level - is that really in consideration? maybe together with the introduction of a new act?

- are there plans for higher master levels or even new masters? more crafting options! more decoration items!

- plans for increasing the size of our hideouts? another money sink ;-)

Do you boost some drop rates (exalts, for instance) at the beginning of a league in order to jump-start the economy ?

Also, could you, and would you ever, give us an approximate figure for how many orbs of each type drop in one day ? It would be nice to be able to give precise counter-arguments to those conspiracy theorists who think that GGG members generate currency for themselves or feed RMT, or that some transaction of a few dozens of exalts early in a league is not possible without your divine intervention.

Did you ever considered adding new Act before Act 1 to enhance new players first contact with the game?

Will we see organizable microtransaction tabs soon?

Is there any plans for dealing with pointless microtransaction duplicates?(e.g. Portal Effects)

Will we ever see snow tilesets or at the very least, a snowy ground hideout mtx?

Why are so many of the challenges for talisman, and other previous league challenges gated behind trade and/or wealth? Would it not be fairer for the community if they were actual gameplay related challenges? (Like the Atziri one, which is insane but acceptably so.)

The Wraeclast map seems largely unexplored, have you already plans for areas like "Trarthus" and "Stridevolf"?

Ok so my question is...
Is there any chance of having a shuffle feature for portal effects?

Edit: Oh, but most importantly, will/might you add a way to add map modifiers in the normal progression like with the corrupted shrines in the future? It makes leveling much more interesting when you already can modify the main game at least a bit.


Will/might Ascendency traps be included in other areas in the Game? Or are they going to be strictly for the labyrinth?

Cool Idea with the God that sit's on Izaro. Could you think of adding something similar for players?
Well, I guess not ;) But for other mobs outside the new side areas?

- Will there be more enchantments in the game? Like for flasks?
- Is there a maximum of enchantments one can have on equipments, or can you wear/use all possible items enchanted?
- What happens to enchantments when you modify the Item?
- Can you enchant corrupted items?
