Devs Please lock post as giveaway is over and things are getting silly.

IMO the effects need to be less flashy...capes..shoulder armours ect with less glowy or animated effects..I picture this happening often:

-Person joins party and enters laboratory to do maps.
-hmm taking a bit longer to load..
- finally zones In to see a team of wraeclast heroes that look like they just got shit out of a living rainbow. A fantasy mideival rave scene of colours I would be scared of the lucky charms guy popping out somewhere to power siphon someone.
-enter zone and the fantastic fours glowing ensamble pAired with duel spork totems firing off and ice shot causing ridiculous frame rates.

Less flare plz thx

Except pants.. Those can glow pink

Map of challenge.

You use it in the map machine alongside with the map with mods you provide additionally. The map turns public, is broadcast and you become the boss of the map. Your hp and es is tippled and then is modified as monsters per player in party, so is the damage along with map mods. Players you kill drop items (random). When you die you drop items, (random) as a boss would. You don't die permanently on this map.

Alternate character looks

As it says - your barb can grow a beard and a knot of hair, your templar might be young, the duelist might be some other guy - duelists enemy, witch might be undead/zombiefied/spectre herself, shadow might be wearing a hooded cape, ranger could look like an amazon or be from the tribe of maruder and be black.

Alternate interface skins

As it says - some could look retro, some diablo 2 like, some more modern.

Fliker Strike alternate animation:

Instead of disappearing,an image of the character initiating the attack will stay at the starting location, then start fade away after a certain duration, while the character himself/herself will appear at the target with the finishing pose. With multistrike (or enough attack speed), this can creates a number of images among the mobs. Traditional ninja move.

My idea is to change totems to flag poles. Each flag pole can be earned through the achievements or passing certain parts of the game. But best of all you can use you countries flag. I would love to represent the NZ flag in game. I feel really proud that GGG is a NZ based company and want to rep that i come from the same place.

I would really really really want, a global microtransaction effect set ( like a separate equip slot) . So you equip the effects you want on yourself, not the gears. So that whenever you switch weapons and such, instead of having to switch the wep effect it applies to the next weapon you equip. Same with boots and helmets of course. That would save me so much time when lvling..
Like this, having equip slots for each piece, and then a button to toggle them on or off, so it doesnt matter what gears i have, it will still apply and not be annoying!

I have one: A microtransaction for your helm that makes it look like the Berserker Armor from Berserk. What makes it spiffy is that the helm only appears when you cast Blood Rage. It would have the same aesthetics, with a shadowy hound-demon thing appearing from your back and enveloping your head.

Link to some random person's deviant art page that has a lot pictures of the Berserker armor:

While still very much anime, Berserk has a very dark and gritty feel to it that appeals to many people that otherwise hate anime. Even the massively over-sized sword makes sense in context. It is a manga that I think many fans of PoE would greatly appreciate.

Tiekes shoulders Microtransation:

my try with photoshop on marauder tieke red effect>



A cool effect/petlike you can buy. Each one is a different color Tieke sitting on the shoulder of your toon. (so you would look like a cool Maori Pirate... perfect when using a tricorne :P)

The Tieke could move his head just standing , or move along the shoulders maybe?


"
the early Maori in Aotearoa (New Zealand) had a superhero called Maui. Maui had a pet blackbird (Tieke) that always kept him company, sitting on his shoulder while he made the ropes from flax and the ti tree to make a net."

I'd think this would be a pretty fun microtransaction:

The ability to name your summons!

The way I'd see this working is that this purchase gives you an extra menu, where you set a pool of names for each type of summon (this pool would be equal in size to the maximum number of summons of each type). The ability to see these names would be something you could turn on/off in the options, of course, but these names would have very little in-game effect, but would make your summons feel much more personal.

Ideally, this would work with all summon types.

Floating skulls gloves microtransaction effect.

A glove effect: u can see pirate skull effect turning around your gloves.

Can be white,red,black,green,fiery....

I would like alternate skins for my armor, that would be deactivated upon entering the PvP arena.
