0.9.10 Information and News
" If it's not ready then it's not. I mean sure, it'd be nice to have it out sooner but a staff of 18 can only do so much so quickly, and a really buggy, incomplete open release could bite them in the ass pretty hard. Invited to Beta 2012-03-18 / Supporter since 2012-04-08

So...is one of the not-listed changes a high-level experience change? Maybe a removal of the experience-death penalty so melee party members don't fall behind in level because they're more likely to take surprise crits? Seriously, it takes too long to level past 45, and the current system doesn't allow for gap-filling exp differences because they seem afraid of power-leveling.
(other than exp problems though, the game is great. looking forward to this patch, even without exp fixes.) Last edited by Pirunyan#0675 on May 25, 2012, 3:37:24 PM

For the loot timer question. I agree, options are good. Party options are great. Kinda like mapvote on UT.
" The more things like this are added the more performance tanks on the average machine. Even on good machines performance will suffer, if not noticeably, and reliability decreases. Especially with a game like this performance is paramount, otherwise the hardware reqs exclude massive swaths of potential players. It also increases download time. The painful truth is that alot of features can even start to stifle a machine when they aren't enabled. Now, I don't think this batch of developers is likely to have too many issues with poor practices, but still, it seems wiser to focus on expanding CONTENT and further improving performance before trying to integrate bling. The same effort that it would take to pretty up the corpses could be used to add a new side mission to every act, improve level randomization or some other CONTENT related thing. As for active ragdolls, like bodies one can kick around after they are killed. You're talking about an active object, interacting with the world, taking up processor cycles and exponentially increasing the odds of glitches, and for what purpose? I am guessing the same notion is why dead bodies aren't cleaned up prior to an instance being reinitialized. Time vs space. As stationary objects in ram they are just there. They change, it takes bandwidth to broadcast that, processor time and so on. Why is everyone obsessed with more bling on an already visually stunning game? It's like adding a carbon hood to a Lamborghini that doesn't have an engine. Probably a good idea to get the engine, transmission, tires, exhaust and so on in order first. Then worry about customizing the shift, suspension, intakes, timing and functionality of the dials. Then, reduce weight...lastly, a nice pair of fuzzy dice just for looks. Ragdoll corpses are fuzzy dice. 3 extra acts, are a transmission. get it? Also, being that it is constantly connected it has a little more performance overhead in terms of processor bandwidth that would a similar standalone executable. |

Congrats, you just bought yourself a jaguar v-12 roadster with an injection kit. Please, refrain from nit picking about the clear coat...lmfao
I felt like another car simile, couldn't manage without some form of needless snarkiness. :) |

" OMG!!!! Thanks. Thanks. Thanks!! :) I totally thought somebody would've used this key already... And sorry crimes, if I've took away your key, but i suppose if it was supposed to be yours Ghostmage would have sent you an pm... Thanks a lot again!! I'll try to play as much as possible and give a lot of feedback. :) Edit: Now I feel bad... :( If I ever manage to buy a supporter pack, which I'll try to do anyway, than I'll send you my spare key. But I have no credit card to buy one and paypal needs one in my country too I think... :( Last edited by qrft#6973 on May 25, 2012, 5:25:25 PM

" Agreed 100%. "This is too good for you, very powerful ! You want - You take"

the best is to standardize everything and just make it FFA. FFA has been working fine so far and no changes need to be made at all. i think all the whiners and complainers should just get real and accept the reality of the cut throat environment that ggg is trying to create in poe.
if you cannot take it, then don't party in-game and just solo by yourself. 34pre98qua

" publicly posted beta keys are FFA. LOL |
