New Microtransaction Skins!

I think they don't fit the style of PoE so far.
They're too cartoonish IMO, with those horns and glowing eyes.

Glowing eyes, and horns are part of many of GGG's MTX models...

Not a good fit for PoE, from my point of view.

Except for the helmet. But still its a valid point i fear.

Mayb its all the Garena etc. MTXes that not flood over to us?

Too warcrafty? What? If that helmet skin wasn't named naga, none of you would even think about warcraft with these. In my opinion these fit the game alot more than the flashy helmets/mtx ggg brought out in the beginning(the different skulls, mark of the phoenix etc). Since the game is based in a kinda dark atmosphere.

I actually really like these! Except for the axe, but that's simply because it's not my style.... still getting it though!
The purple on the shield probably goes well with the prophecy theme/outfit.
And the daggers look amazing! Really like the helmet as well.

PS: When do we get the armor sets from the previous mystery boxes in the shop?
PSS: More wing types please(absolutely love the gloom wings, but with my luck, I have to wait till they are in the shop haha). The type of wings I would like most are true angelic wings, with the white feathers, like on the tv shows Lucifer/Supernatural. But in their resting state, hanging, like the tentacle wings. I'd also love fallen angel wings, like in the tv series Supernatural. Some feathers burned off, mostly burned/blackish(maybe still some red from burning), showing some bone wings(shown in the season 9 Supernatural intro).
PSSS: I'd also love a size slider for pets, so we can set our own pet sizes, ofcourse with a maximum(maximum being like the wolf, or comic spider size), so they won't get too big.

Wow GGG you guys have really lost your edge... its not gritty and cool anymore, just like any other mmo gear/weapon.

"Recently our Thai community (on the Garena servers) designed some new microtransactions as part of a promotion they were running."

If I understood correctly, it's not GGG that designed the concept of those MTX...

^ That makes sense because yeah these are a bit odd...looks more transformer than pie...

The dark and unforgiving Wraeclast looks more and more like fairyland. Slowly selling out your soul GGG, you grew bigger and bigger and you forgot your roots. Whatever pleases the crowds that pay your bills I suppose.

Sorry GGG, but these stuff looks terrible, it would fit right into D3 but not into PoE in terms of style and atmosphere. Especially the axe and the shield look like they were directly imported from D3...don't go down this road any further. Please.

Agree to a degree. Fairyland.

Maybe it is better to focus the attention towards more hideout mtx.

When did PoE turn into a Korean MMO ?

and this!



While D3 (and other Blizzard games) look good in general, I really don't like the art style Blizzard uses since Warcraft 3 (cartoonish).

Most of the time I really feel like I rather want to apply base skins instead of mtx effects because they look a lot more thematical, realistic and more serious. Unfortunately they are one-use MTX, so I often just apply actual MTX armour skins.

Those new skins really have a different art style than poe in general has, it doesn't fit and even the proportions/scale seem to be a bit off (maybe just style from the cartoonish art-type).



I really want PoE to stay a serious, adult ARPG. But it seems to drift to a more casual style more often than not.
