Developer Questions and Answers

Supporter packs with class specific skins? have you guys thought of this?
What do you think about the current player's experience ?

Do you think we are happy with the risk/rewards mechanics ?
Do you think we are satisfied by the results of the time invested in crafting and league-specific mechanics ?

Do you think the average player can afford to buy some microtransactions ?

Do you think every skill gem is balanced enough to be playable through endgame ?

What do you think about the fact that we have to run third-party software to make the game actually playable ?

What do you think about the absence of an automatic trade system, six years after releasing this game where trading is important ?

As a fellow game developer, albeit a MUCH less successful, I always seek new ways to deal with both criticism AND praise.

How do you guys deal with the opinions on the more extreme ends of the spectrum so that they do not disrupt your workflow, morale and passion?
First of all, I do understand the reasons why there is no trade hub of some sort in PoE, but as someone why who started the league later then most ppl, it's really hard making low level map trades, og to trade currency for other lower level materiel.

So maybe it would be a good idea to make these items available is a trade hub, where ppl could offer those item for sale, but they didn't have to interact with the buyer, as most ppl dont think it's worth it after the early days.

I've have thought about just skipping this league, since it's very fustrating just sitting around and whispering 20+ ppl without getting a single reply.
What is GGGs opinion on mirroring a map recipe (available during bestiary league)? Anychance this feature will return?
Is there a possibility that the action speed of character will look less ridiculous fast one day?

And speaking of side contents: what about an option within the game that could bring progression at a slower pace..so maybe an anti-speed--meta-content (for older players like me :) )
What are Albino Rhoa Feathers used for?
Is there a deterministic way to spawn Krillson?
Is there a deterministic way to proc the insanity effect from items like Innsbury Edge?

Thanks for your attention!
why do you lock all new bosses behind tons of new content insteed of making it possible to fight him when you have the set for him (like shaper)

it takes 50+ hours to be able to fight mastermind, cortex ect, and when some1 finally managed to spawn him, they feel forced to buy a carry service since they have no experience on that boss and they dont wanna fail it.

if there are sets for those bosses, ppl could just try the boss and if it goes wrong - who cares.. they can just buy another set and try it again


please stop locking all new bosses behind tons of content which ppl probably dont wanna do..
How much bandwidth per month (first month, second month, third month of the respective league ) does the Trade-API consume?
GGG Staff question:
Are the office hours fixed time or are most people working with flextime?
Or are most of the teams shift based, at least for the support and technical teams (e.g. network / server infrastructure)?

Game questions:
Will there be a option in the future to bind "Move only" to a seperate key which is not on the skill bar?

Thank you for your time,
