Announcements - Baeclast Podcast with Chris Wilson - Forum

He said he wants it to go AWAY from bosses dropping uniques, and just have the excitement of things in a random drop pool that you might only see once every 3 leagues or so. Chris keeps going back to the example of opening boosters for Magic the gathering. It really, REALLY strikes me as out of touch - like WILLFULLY out of touch, and one of those moments where people like me will say Chris's vision is out of touch with what the majority of players want for the game. Most of us WANT deterministic boss drops. Agreed 100% Also his comment about ailment immunity baffled me. They basically ruined the ailment stuff from flask, and he said they don't know how to fix it and suggested random stuff which to me means he's throwing darts at a dart board and whatever it hits that's what they'll try. Totally clueless. Not to mention he admitted that flasks weren't even tested. How the hell can you change a major core part of the game and not test it? That alone shows the complete incompetence of this studio.	Posted by Gulch on Aug 12, 2021, 6:44:55 AM Quote this Post

Movement skills are just so bad right now. And yes his reasoning for the movement skill changes is that he doesn't want good movement without investment. And still insists that they are great. Uhh hey Chris, a movement skill tied to 3 gems is a pretty heavy investment as it takes up 4 slots and when you're trying to min/max that's a huge tradeoff.

about loot boxes MTX why not just add a salvage system that reward you of special shards for 15-20% of the item value but make it so you can only craft items from the loot box with it and not the box its self? or maybe mix 10 common items into 1 box 5-6 uncommon items into 1 box or 1-2 rares into 1 box Last edited by NoyAvargel on Aug 12, 2021, 6:58:53 AM	Posted by NoyAvargel on Aug 12, 2021, 6:57:27 AM Quote this Post

Great Podcast, It great to see that GGG chose the approach to communicate instead of head in the sand. Thank you for that. I am really happy this happened and hopefully will continue happening. Just wanted to say this is positive and it is appreciated.	Posted by KicsiSVK on Aug 12, 2021, 7:07:10 AM Quote this Post

This has to be the best way to communicate with the community/fanbase. As this podcast once again shows, we are all humans. We have our faults, noone is perfect. Same goes for the things we produce, like POE. I have to agree with about 90% of everything said in this podcast. If I don't agree with only about 10%, then (for me) thats still an amazing game you all made. I will watch every single one of this kind of interviews. Interesting, exciting, funny and above all, honest! Thanks, and I'm looking forward to the next one!	Posted by Reallabel on Aug 12, 2021, 8:02:29 AM Quote this Post
