Community Q&A with Chris

Chris Wilson, may we have a option to add scrolling combat text? which you can have the option to turn on if you prefer, and off if you don't?

Personalization is key!! help both sides out and monster hp numbers..!? I know its getting close to the D3 concept but I love evaluating my monter hp and I <3 BIG ##S thats what a game is about for me.. and Im a Maple Story baby... >< so i love those additions :) would be nice!! freedome of choice!

About how far away is the option to do away with the unlock code thing?

It's about the only thing I care about because I have to enter it every single time my internet kills over thanks to how my ISP does our IPs. And you can probably check how many DCs I have.

Yeah, that's how often my internet kills over. And that's how often I have to enter an unlock code. :|

My PW is unique to PoE. And I rarely go to any other websites on this PC. On top of that, I'm not an idiot who stands in a blazing inferno and complains that it's hot (omega hyperbole, but still). :3

1. Currently, life is the only stat that is a must have on all pieces of gears on hardcore. This makes build diversity very limited compare to Default league. Are there any plans to make Life not the must have stat on all gears.

Life is the single most important stat, it gives survivability, resistance to freeze,stun, etc.

Are there plans to make more offensive builds viable?



2. Leagues that encourages PVP like cut throat, will this be implemented?

How the hell are characters on the character select screen organized? It's not chronological, its not based on when you last played them, it's not alphabetical. Right now it feels like when you create a character the game rolls a die with a number for every possible position the character could be placed and places it where the die tells it to. Am I missing something? Is the system not really that perplexing?

I read your rule about uniques that they should't outperform the best rares. However most of the uniques (there are some exceptions ofc) feel very weak. I had this problem in d3 and if I learnt something from Titan Quest is that I love cool unique items. Is there any plan for stronger uniques?

Any intention to make the races more appealing to people not aiming for top 10 (either due to lack of skill or time for practice)

Is the descriptive text on Facebreaker a reference to Magic: the Gathering?

what race/league ideas you guys might have in the future besides cutthroat and turbo.

Any plans on adding new affixes/suffixes on items, such as maybe skill on hit et cetera.

Chris in the future do you think there will be a chat based filter function?

Filter chat messages/logs by pms/party/local/trade. Also a /f m feature like diablo 2 where we can send a message to our friends, who wants to send a message to each one individual and ask them if they want to do maps? :)

Thanks man!

Plans for more "dramatic" boss fights?
Can you some how add a way "highlight" your party members a bit better? maybe with health bars over them rather than in the top corner, just a simple way but I'm sure you you can think of others.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

What are the plans for making trading more streamlined? Will it involve only improvements to forum trading or improvements in game as well?

I got tons of great stuff to trade but I don't like to trade in the current system, it's too much effort.
