Developer Questions and Answers

Why does terminus est not have the same number-of-charges-generated/crit as a volls protector?
Is this something likely to change?

Hi!

Are there any plans to rework the Scion Ascendancy?

It feels like it is hardly played at all, i can literally count on one hand the number of scions i have seen so far since the start of breach.

I don't have access to any data but it feels really underrepresented.

Question for the balance team. Any chance of buffing Righteous Fire? Point wise, righteous fire is expensive and limiting. What are your thoughts on having Righteous Fire also burn some of your mana in exchange for adding 50% of your mana to the RF damage?

I got a couple..

1: its been asked to death but do drops diminish over time?
exmaple: I run 90iiq//300iir in legacy right now, doing t10 @ ~150iiq maps
the first few runs seem full of stuff, screens of loot..
but continue for six hours straight and bosses and the like start dropping way less..
is this just pointless conjecture, or is there a math to it aimed at (stop playing and go outside)

2: Why cant we CTRL-Click stuff in and out of the guild stash tabs?

3: How hard would it be to have an in-game catalogue?
example: a menu that houses all the uniques in the game, all the prefix and suffix variants, so the players can see how a new item or rare they could craft or find would effect their build, see how it looks cosmetically on their character real-time while in the catalogue, maybe promoting cosmetic buys, and helping the not so knowledgeable out when making a new character in a game so daunting?

4: What about a top 10 Players to finish the league memorial area, where you can see their gear and their spec, and whatnot by clicking on them, showing people off and also showing off new builds?
people LOVE to be immortalised..

5: Also wouldn't it make sense to remove IIQ and IRR from maps themselves? make the maps that drop in maps a hidden variable roll, adding mods to maps to increase mob density for increased experience..
then have builds with IIR and IIQ take advantage of those stats in these maps, making them have a more functional and stable roll in the poe universe? rather then an extension of say a DPS build running high maps for the increased iiq//iir?

or a variant of any of these...

this games remember me a bit of an old one from the late 90's: helbreath

did any of you ever played it?
if positive: how did it affect to your point of view as a designer/developer?


if negative: what other old games do you think affected more your mind as a game designer/developer? in what way?






have you ever considered making a comic/manga explaining the former history of some important NPC's in the game ? we want to know more about miss "not a cockroach" :D

How do you feel about the clear speed meta?

Will we ever be able to use traps to cast essence drain?

Late to the party, but:

Are Flight of the Conchords really the second most popular parody folk band in New Zeland and is it true that they invented rap over there? xD
