Developer Questions and Answers

will you ever support Linux?

Will there be a detailed (as detailed as the trade section of pathofexile.com) search and alarm system in consoles? Especially in ps4?

Hey GGG,

In the recent presentation at GDC with Chris Wilson he talked about how he (or the team) believes that a Day/Night feature in a game like Path Of Exile in the core game would be negatively impacting its potential to uniquely re-present old tilesets as new ones with clever lightning and recoloring tricks.

My question is how come we don't have a system where lets say all the outdoor maps (Strictly in Atlas only) could have a 50%-50% chance to be either day or night upon opening them through our map devices? In the same presentation we see the value of diversity and layers in map generations. This seems like a brilliant idea now that the game has reached this development point. Is there downside to that?

Are there any plans for Divine Vessels to have a use if someone is done capturing all the souls for their pantheons?

Is the development plan to have the game balanced around bad trade forever? Is it really worth leaving trade in a place where players mistrust, verbally abuse, or put each other on ignore list in order to make the game more artificially difficult?

Will Weapon Effects ever be usable on Shields?

Is Path of Exile Royale ever coming back?

Would you consider making QoL improvements to grinding Oni-Goroshi's? I find it quite relaxing, but do prefer only having 1 character.

Is there any plans on making a WTB listing style available for items?

Have you ever considered a temp Delve Only League? Give starting characters all of the act 1-10 skill points, a starting chest of basic items (maybe even just the first chest from Descent: Champions) and then just infinite Sulphite and go as deep as we can for like a week.

Also, Descent: Champions when?

Do you ever plan on having a return of Race Seasons?

Hello,

99% of my deaths are from the bleeding inflicted by attacking purple mobs.
I've played many different characters and builds, and that is my #1 cause of death for all of them. I'm too focused on looking for the next pack or whatever to see my health draining away, and sometimes, I bleed out in less than a second, so even if I do notice my life draining away, I don't have the time to respond.

I would like to suggest adding some kind of sound to the bleeding you get from purple mobs. (corrupted blood I guess)

Even if it's the same sound as the bleeding you get from other mobs, that would be fine. (To me, it sounds like bugs eating you.)

As long as there's a sound for me to respond to, I'd be willing to bet I wouldn't die as often.


Thanks

How are you doing those boss fights?

Hello,

Why do Tier 5 maps drop when I'm doing Tier 14 maps?

Can you please adjust the map drop levels so that nothing more than 2-3 levels lower can drop?


Thanks.
