Developer Questions and Answers

A lot of plaers would wish t create their own unique or divination cards but cant fork out 1k because they have financial reasons or they are just too young. Do you plan to do competitions for example " a fan art competition" and let winners create and put a par of them into poe without paying the hefty fee of 1k

Have any of you had to swim to work recently?

dose GGG add a Button for reclaim ALL mtx form all champ or a way to find some of them ?

When we will stop having error issue with 3D art texture not in sync and crash ingame , please ?

Like the previous time, I'll put some context on my question because I feel it makes it easier to discuss the matter and for other players to interact with me.

Question 1 (Leagues: Intrusive vs Optional experiences) -

Context:

Some leagues feel like exhibition of upcoming core game mechanics and some other leagues feel like three month events. For example, in Prophecy and Legacy all content is optional, being possible to ignore it and play the regular game. Some other leagues are more intrusive, like Invasion, Talisman or Beyond, where you have little to no control whether you experience the content or not. Lastly there are leagues like Ambush, Breach and Essence which are the middle ground, because the content is at your face, which is very tempting, but you have the option of not doing it.

Now, getting to the question:

I personally don't feel like leagues like Prophecy or Legacy add much to the 3 month experience. They are great mechanics for the core game but they don't feel like leagues, because they are too optional. For these types of leagues, have you ever considered releasing some rotating mods (like the race ones) to make these leagues more interesting? Is the fact that everything is optional intended?

I think many of the recent leagues are not intrusive enough and I hope you come up with something less optional that is more of a mandatory challenge in the future (if you opt into playing the league, of course).


Question 2 (Inventory cluttering changing the culture of picking up items) -

With every expansion we get new types of items, like keys, key fragments, new divination card bases, splinters, talismans, leaguestones which adds to older items like currency or maps. What I am going to say is exacerbated by Legacy league, but at the end of every map we may only pick two or three actual items and a bunch of small things. In addition, putting all those different small items in my stash feel like I am typing the entire Konami code multiple times in a row, while I press my arrows left and right to reach certain tabs.

There is too much inventory cluttering at the moment and personally I think it has taken away the "grinding for gear" aspect of the game, since our inventory is mostly a clutter of small items and we have a lot less space to identify actual rare equipment. Do you consider this to be a problem?

One thing that I have been dying to see in this game is a skill from Diablo 2 called Frozen Orb. I would love to see a version of this put into Path of exile. I know the chances of it are small but could a skill like this be implemented into the game?

Any plans on adding option to load some custom UI overlays?

I am sure you guys saw some really nice artwork on reddit, it would be great if we can have it while in game and not only as stream overlay.

What happened to the arcane book totem mtx?

It was in the video, then not in the list of rewards for that last box

and then it was in the shop for a couple of days

and then just completely gone.

where did it go?

It may have already been asked but will MTX transfer between XB1 and PC? I would hate to hear that my well spent money which went to the development of the game can not be enjoyed between both platforms.

A follow up question would be, is there any exclusive MTX that can only be bought between the platforms? I think it would be pretty need to get a special thanks for playing both!

Will we ever see vaal support gems ? I was thinking something that would give better bonuses than regular support gems but also some penalty effects.

If not, I would at least like to know what you think of the idea.
