Proof that Devs on PoE 1 already don't care about upkeep....SILVER COINS?!?!?!?!

They literally don't even know that we already had silver coins in the game for YEARS?

Almost made me laugh out loud when I saw that.

"Guess what, in 3.23 we will have ETERNAL ORBS!"

They even look eerily similar to the old ones, with the same stack size...so now along with untested and unbalanced content they will be releasing re-skinned, removed graphics. So....no work going into the new seasons for PoE 1

poe 1 is just a skeleton crew now...everyone important is working on poe 2

Uhhh... what?

OFC they know, silver coins were the signature currency of Navali and they always had the symbol of Hinekora on them.

And guess what? Navali is the NPC you'll be exchanging those coins with in the new league, which features also Hinekora and the Karui afterlife.

There's a lot to complain about re: the next league, but this ain't it chief.

Recycled content and NPCs is very much worth complaining about...it speaks volumes about what we can expect for the future.

I'm sure what you MEANT to say is: There is MORE to complain about :)

I suspect we have bigger fish to fry than to see the return of Silver Coins & Navali ... Specifically I'm hoping that the Chieftain rework can be delayed or at least augmented to yield more synergy and not just make the ascendancy fodder for "forbidden flesh/flame"

I don't mean to alarm you, but repurposing assets to save on development time is something they've done all over the game and is the only reason the game is as large as it is. Tilesets are repeated, map bosses are just leveled up campaign bosses, item art is used for multiple items, sometimes with a recolor, sometimes not, and I'm sure many more things are reused that we just don't notice.

Now that PoE has limited manpower, why wouldn't they return to a development style they know works well? And returning one of their few removed, but well-liked NPCs and her signature currency for a thematically and lore-wise very related league just makes sense.

Why do people care if its recycled content, they literally said she would be coming back later. The important thing is how interesting the content is to do, or the balance changes. Not the name of the character and the model asset they use for the currency.

Kids these days wear me out man. Just play it or don't, don't sit here and complain they're using old assets.

This kind of toxicity is contagious and spreads to people with little brains and causes bandwagon negativity.
