Wow, so many peeps shitting their pants over this....reeeelax.

GGG assigns a small team to port the game over, seems they've been working pretty hard with Microsoft trying to optimize the game to the point where it can be playable on the xbox one.

This is a REALLY good thing.

Player base will expand and the game will only improve, grow the hell up and stop whining about something that is FTP in the first place. If you've supported GGG then applaud yourselves for helping them achieve this milestone. They deserve it; they've shown nothing but intense devotion to the community (even when it gets all whiny and some of them need their diapers changed).

To Chris and the gang; fantastic work to get you and GGG to this point, I will continue to support your efforts as THE most attentive and forward thinking game developers in the world today; both technically and in your stellar business model.

You started with an idea and a dream and have ended up with arguably the best ARPG ever made; and it keeps getting better.

Haters gonna hate, go whine about D3 etc. and your self entitled bullshit somewhere else, we're better off without you in the game.



Nice product allegiance there.

The proof is in the pudding, every other f2p game that's been ported to console dies.
GGG is that a spoiler of 3.0 patch at 2:28? :D

For all of you who ask a porting for PS4: it's not that simple. Win and Xbox share a lot, you can even play xbox games in win10. To port the game into PS4 they need to rewrite a lot of the whole code, so I don't think that it will happen.

For all of you that fear about the drop of quality on PC version: it will not. They take the PC code, downgrade it and adapt to XBOX. They need to adapt and downgrade it because the console have limitations... lack of buttons, gameplay with a analog stick (LMAO), gameplay with just 2 fingers, etc.

So I don't think we need to fear the xbox version. Indeed, GGG will need more staff on PoE console version, but the main system will always be the PC version.

I see the xbox launch like a good opportunity to keep spreading the game and like a new source of founds.
Funny seeing all the people with no supporter packs whining. It's not your money they are spending. Xbone is likely to have a $60 tag on the game, which will bring in a lot more revenue than you have contributed. Crying about it won't help a bit. Go read the interview with Chris. If that doesn't alleviate your concerns, uninstalling the game is a viable option.
PCI: Path of Exile supporters are passionate about the game and not all will be pleased to see money being put into a console version. Can you reassure them that their support it as valuable as ever to keep the PC version expanding and how has the Xbox version been funded?

Chris Wilson: Almost all of the money spent on the console version has improved the performance of the PC one also. The revenue generated by the console version will be spent expanding the game with new acts and other content for both versions.

PCI: As far as technical improvements are concerned in future updates, do you see the limitations of the Xbox version having any impact on the PC experience at all?

Chris Wilson: Absolutely. They have and will continue to result in performance improvements that affect the PC version as well.

It is excessively unlikely that PoE will ever come out on the PS4 unless GGG switches to an open graphics API as they currently use DirectX which is a Microsoft product.


LOL! You're clueless about software backends. Stop spreading bullshit.


Please explain how they could cost effectively create a PS4 port somewhat quickly with devs who may or may not be experienced with OpenGL?
I don't see anything good coming out of this for PC gamers - historically speaking it's unequivocally downhill once a PC game is consolized regardless of initial intention.

I stopped seriously playing HC after the lab was introduced, and will only pop in occasionally until it's changed.

The only silver lining I can see is a chance to have WASD type of movement in the PC client, seeing how a console version can only have that type of movement.

Wait and see once again.

I'm the Ps guy: Psomm, Pso, Psong, pso-on and pso-phorth.

Whelp, going to the same direction as diablo 3 then, making poe a dead game. I guess im done supporting it.

Nothing ever good comes from pc games going to consoles. Diablo3 being prime example here.

RiP PoE. you were a good game.

Diablo 3 was coming to consoles from day 1. And it had a million dollar company behind it. This was apparent in the demo we could play. See where it ended. It's a fucking shell of a game.

Diablo 3 is a dumbed down game compared to diablo 2.

Diablo 3 is the worst successor of a very popular, and a very good game.


Nothing good comes from going to consoles. It'll be dumbed down and it'll change immensely. GGG sold out us players for a bit extra cash. Good fucking job.
I know well how D3 went. From the day it was announced to the day it came out I lived on the D3 forums. Consoles had nothing to do with it being terrible. Three months out from release the Devs still hadn't decided what the stats they were going to use were, they just didn't know what they were doing.

True they fuked up from start, tried to fix with auction house patch it became worst , And Reaper Of Soul Expansion saved them but after that expansion, they didnt make a good move and make actual content.Game changes waaaaaayyyy to slow but skill nerfs was fast O_o still dont get it.I stop play d3 after season 6 .It was same sht over and over , also easy to get season rewards even in hardcore O_o i did whole content in 1 week when new season released.

only Bad things about this game OPTIMIZE and LAG which D3 didnt have and solved it later :/

love this game as an old diablo fan but cant play HC due to optimize problems. Sad thinng is i was able to play d3 on max settings without fps drop. But cant play this game in any settings any resolution (tried all things on forum its better but not good for HC :/)
I know so many new players stop playing this beatiful game because of this reason .

hope this Step will be success and they will fix their game with Microsoft

im disapointed my money went partly to the development of xbox while the game on PC still has its flaws
I already made a post but its started to sink in now......can't believe this betrayal to PC gamers I'm just lost for words.....I may play from time to time to see how PC weathers this but as it stands I wont be dropping large sums of $$$ on supporter packs any more!
i'm considering buying an xbox 1 now. i prefer the wireless controller to a mouse and keyboard.
