Developer Questions and Answers

As an avid and religious coffee drinker, I must know: instant or brewed? What brand(s)? @heads of GGG

Thanks!

When will we be able to organize the MTX tab?

We'd prefer not to answer specific questions about how game mechanics work in this Q&A. Mark's thread is for that and he's happy to answer them there!

Mark hasn't posted in that thread since page 199. It's on page 254 now. It has been 3 months.

I'm still waiting for an answer to my question on golems on page 213 from December.

It's too bad there's no way for us to flag questions in that thread that the community cannot answer. There's a lot of questions that can be answered from information publicly available in the wiki, the official forums, poedb, or reddit, and filtering through self-answerable questions to find ones that need to be addressed by GGG staff is probably overwhelming Mark.

Good luck mate




sent the same question to a dozen of GGG dev

Dan is the only one that was kind enough to reply and he told me it was not his department so he doesnt know, but that he doubted it is for latencyreasons that they keep dom blow shit otherwise they would just limit the number, which i thank him for his honesty

I have a few questions this time:

Will you return the credits sequence to the game with 3.0? Perhaps after Act 10?

Have you ever considered color-coding map mods? For example: Green for things added to the area (strange barrels, twinned boss, etc.), Blue for general area changes (increased item quantity, monsters have onslaught, etc.), Red for character specific mods (curses, less block chance, etc.).

I'd also like to reiterate this question as I was going to ask this too:

When 3.0 hits, what will happen to characters who are in Cruel or Merciless at the time? Will they have to start from Act 5 even though they're overleveled?

EDIT: Thought of some more:

Would you consider implementing a skill specific toggle for attack in place? So then we could use movement skills starting from our current position no matter how far away we clicked but have it on for our main attack skill. So not a global toggle but skill specific.

Do you regret making all skills available to all classes? As an SSF player (this league anyway) I don't think the Siosa gem thing was a good idea (probably a very unpopular opinion though). I feel it made gem drops in the wild completely irrelevant and made it too easy to get anything, you don't have to get work to set up your build as much. Just farm or craft gear (also made easier with divination cards (which I'm fine with due to their rarity) and essences (also pretty fine with this due to RNG nature of essence rolls of other mods)) and buy your skill setup.

When will GGG let use sort the shop tab out so we can move stuff were we wont it and make it so all items am paper dolls so we dont have to keep removing items from one when we swap toons

Are there any factions within GGG that often but heads?

For example: A group of people who are passionate about a certain game mechanic vs a group that dislikes that mechanic?

I like to imagine these factions giving each other glares across the room at lunch time.

Is there any date or progress on the translation into Spanish?

I've gotta double one of the questions asked on the first page.

Is a particle slider ever going to be a thing? Shocked, burning, and other ground effects absolutely kill both my own FPS and the FPS of many others.

-----------------

On to my own question, though.
When hitting/killing many mobs at once, the game tends to stutter quite a bit. I'm assuming this is due to lots of information having to be sent to the server, but is there a way to lessen this? This is the only game I've ever seen said issue on.

Why is there no damage meter in Path of Exile? Would be cool to see who did the most damage trough a map or something.

What are some of your favorite stories from the office?

What kind of office antics do you guys do? Things like messing with each other or little pranks?

Do you guys have any office traditions and if so, what do you do?
