Why do we NOT have access to China cosmetics?

I guess I don't understand why their would be two different versions of POE, I had thought it was ONE world wide, but then again I did hear sometime back that the China server had a thing where when u died u could buy points and get back your 10% death loss. Still it would be cool if we at least had access to see their MTX list and if so purchase if we so wanted.

thats all im asking for and i dont see why some other countries expectations should matter in that market i know if more people knew that POE had a bunch of country tailored MTX they cannot gain access to that would piss them off and im sure they would want to buy them i get money going to that country who made it i suppose but then make the same thing and call it your own its not like china doesn't do that crap all the time so why cant we

Tencent (Chinese gaming corporation) owns a large majority of GGG (80% I think). Their agreement is to allow GGG free reign of the company, but they will at times request changes for the Chinese servers. If GGG wants, they are free to make those changes global. I couldn’t possibly say what or how much. Tencent controls PoE in China, and GGG controls it everywhere else. I read a Reddit post from a couple years ago from Chris when they made the sale. I don’t really care to dig it up. I’m not sure why you are whining that you aren’t treated “as well as” those under a communist government that controls everything in your life, even how you play a video game.

If they own that much then they own the company and its actions

I guess im whining then because according to ownership of POE your saying a communist goverment is apprently controling my life by censoring media I want to buy lol ? I dont know im not good with this things

So apprently the china servers or whatever host diffrent cosmetics apparently tencent decides what we want to buy by not letting us buy them? wtf? anyone have a real reason for this?

Can you say specifically what is this missing mtx that you’re upset about? Most people are assuming you’re referring to the p2w mtxes. But I don’t want to assume that.

ya they are having some kind of holiday sale thing were there is this awsome chinese demon armour set or somthing and awsome spirit pets that look like crazy lion dragons they are huge they also seem to have diffrent animations to buy and no i didn't even know about the pet that picks up stuff untill you just mentioned that they also have more portraits hideout decorations and who knows what else

My guess is that for the cosmetic mtx. They will make their way to the international version eventually. For example, the China server had the dragon hunter set before it came to us.

That’s just it. Tencent isn’t censoring anything outside of the Chinese servers. A large portion of profits will go to Tencent, but if you don’t like that then don’t buy MTX. If you don’t like playing a game where Tencent doesn’t have a stake, you’ll be disappointed at the options.

if the question is for the rest of the microtransactions such as sets and so on it might be in everyones reach but the pet that loot stuff? forget it, not happening..

for now.

No thanks chinese stuff can stay in china. Pets collecting loot is already stuff that mess with gameplay

Don't worry, GGG were doing that well before Tencent bought the shares.

Wow, I never realised that not having to click to pick things up was such a massive "gameplay" affecting change...

no social scoring.

I would love if the pets could pick up loot, cant see any downside from that, its tedious with the current "pickup system" as it is, its waaaay too much clicking, at least if it could pickup portal+wisdom scrolls & crafting mats, that would be awesome, i know some have the opinion that it would be pay to win, but what if there was allways a pet as the first challenge reward, in a league?

Marvel heroes had that system, with pets collecting loot, it was awesome! and Grim Dawn now have it also, just not with a pet collecting it, but it picks up stuff (you want) when you run near it.

And for the minority of players, doing racing, this could be disabled when creating a racing league.

Im all for it, would increase quality of life by alot.

Edit: Another arguement, would be consoles.
