Developer Questions and Answers

"How do you manage to keep the game and lore consistent? Do you have some internal Knowledge Base tool (maybe a wiki beyond the community one or something custom)?"

The AoE nerf seems to be a step away from the controversial clear-speed meta. Are we going to see more changes in this direction with the release of 3.0.0?

Would you perhaps consider making an optional (meaning no skill-point rewards) continuation (new difficulty, perhaps) of the campaign as an alternative endgame, for those players who prefer the campaign over the mapping experience?

Thx for your amazing Game

Can we get some more information regarding the Xbox release of POE? Ever since it was announced so many questions regarding the Xbox version have been surfacing for potential xbox players, myself included.

Account linking to retain our existing microtransactions. Will it be available? This is probably the most common question I've seen regarding Xbox version. How will trading work? The next biggest question considering POEtrade is currently the best/most convenient way to trade. Which is not ideal or even in its current state possible for console players. Is the flask/controls system final in the xbox version or are you experimenting with other options that would result in us not losing a flask slot vs pc version? Like using a tab type controls system similar to the way that FFXIV or even Dragon age did theirs. Holding LT Gave access to a tab of skills A-B-X-Y + Up-Down-Left-Right on the d-pad, holding RT gave access to a different set allowing the mapping of up to 16 skills(8 on each trigger). Which would be excessive for POE but when you have a class like ranger who has an ascendancy class like Pathfinder that benefits exclusively from their flasks you are taking away 20% of their specialty by removing one of their flasks.

I can understand the Xbox version is still a ways off but I feel like its in poor taste to reveal something like this, and continue to reveal new info new info new info for 3.0 but nothing about console version specifically. If you weren't ready to answer our biggest questions regarding it why would you announce it so early?

I have one important question about difficulty. Since I am playing PoE, there are serious problems with char defence. Doesn't matter if there are mods on the map or not but I think that dying, cos of one shot mob is frustrating and making to people leaving for months or years. GGG - are you goin' to improve balance in this game and char defence? If yes, when you gonna do that? Thank you.

can we have the ability to see how long it has been since a user has logged in on our friendlist?

also my friendlist has been at max capacity for almost two years, increasing the maximum list size would be great.

Can you fix your god damn servers? Ping is of the chart. Thank you.

Do you want to modify the bullshit trading ???



for example: price-dumpers who not really sell their items and ignoring the traderequests

or:

the spamming Trading Accounts / secondary-Accounts who sell crap-items for horrorprices

or:

astronomical prices for relict items, that you cannnot pay in a new league (without RLM)

or:

mostly in difficult bossfights you were disordered by a trading request

or:

ty gl is the interactive activity between players to prevent tradingbots (???)

etc.pp


All problems could be solved easily with two steps:

adding the feature "invite to trade" (cannot use maps, masters etc)


and
adding a trading house. To prevent botting with limits of buying and selling per day. I think 10 shopping at one day should be enough to equip a char.

To prevent botting and other swindle all sellers must pay something like taxes (1% of the value) in existing curreny. For example price of the item: 1 EX -> taxe: 2 fuses.
These taxes are due at once, if the item is sold or not.

All sellings get a timelimit (for example 3 days or a week). After this limit the item is in stash again and the seller can review the price^^

The tradings during tradingchat get the same taxes for the seller.


All taxes can be used for a curreny-sink, a good cause or an event...


cheers

Can we get a definitive answer on whether there will be any kind of transfer/sharing of our Path of Exile PC account to the Xbox version? i.e. Will microtransactions we own be available on the xbox version, or do they have to be purchased again?

Could be a decently large deciding factor for a lot of people.

im currently greatly enjoying the league stone mechanic, will this possibly be the way you implement future leagues into the core game?
