Community Q&A with Chris

any plans for other permanent league with some crazy rules like the path of random one: http://it.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/186pwp/path_of_random/ ?

Are you guys going to deal with the massive amount of spell effects on your screen when you are in a party? if so can you elaborate how you are going to deal with that?

Will we be able to filter dropped items in some way?
When I think filtering items I think torchlight 2, even though it was a horrible game overall(in my opinion), the item filter system they had was really good.

Those 2 questions are the reason I dont group in this game, cant see shit because everyone is spamming spells and I cant see what items that have dropped because there are too many items.
Dont get me wrong, I really really want to play with people but those 2 things really make it hard to enjoy my time playing with others.

Are there any plans to make a portable version of the game?

I.e. I can install it on a flash drive and run it from that?

I'd be able to play more if there were one.

Chris, 2 questions.

1) Why is your voice so sexy?

2) With regards to upcoming patches - the balance/nerf/fix - and how much it can potentially changes the game. Will your be allowing tree reset? I'm guessing a no. And given that it's most likely a no - how should we prepare other than getting ready to make a new character?

Would you consider taking an intern?

What are your thoughts on the default league death penalty? Any plans to make it less severe for later levels? (Like 60+).

Any plans on fixing the position locking (can't move at all, can use menus and chat - only rectified by taking direct damage) bug. It seems to be related to skill casts but at other times i'm not sure

One of the thing i d like to know is about the future custom leagues.

Is it still an active plan for the future to offer us the possibility to buy a permanent league with our settings ?

Talking about the setting, will custom leagues have a large amout of customizable settings ? Like drop rates, XP values, monster density/speed, number of skill points per level etc ?

Do you think those leagues will be purchasable with points or only for money like the current unique item disign we have now ? I need to know before i spend my points on fluffy goodies :p

Thanks for your efforts, keep up the great job <3

Will there ever be triggered skills?
The type of skills that trigger on events such as "On crit" , "when hit" , "at low life" , etc. It seems the infrastructure needed is there, but in terms of skill diversity they all fall under the "cast -> effect" , not even "channeling". (the new inicinerate one might be, depending on how it feels.)

When will we see more SYNGERGY and skills that work TOGETHER?
Like casting a skill that does X, but more to frozen enemies (somewhat like glacial hammer has the added effect),
ie:
-Deals X damage, %chance to Shatter all frozen enemies.
-Makes all burning enemies in a radius explode for X-Y dmg , burning is dispelled.
-Gain % fire dmg for each burning enemy in a X radius
Stuff like that, skills that you would use along with others. Actually BUILDING on the skills to maximize their effect.

Any plans to make "active" skills for summons, and say a summoner skill bar?

What's up with trading? do you guys REALLY like the tradechat spam? If so, why do you feel its a good idea?
