The Plan for Content Update 1.0.2

I thought the video was great! Would love to see another.

As far as the video is concerned, I thought it was cool but not amazing for the most part, but one important thing to consider was that all my mmo news feeds lit up with the video (particularly the YouTube ones) when they normally only report on major updates, if even that.

A HC player, with enough funding, is no different than a SC player as far as PvP goes.. A SC player just doesn't have to spend a 100 Regrets to make up for playing a HC viable build to level up with first.

I think they shouldn't be segregated.

Was the video we made about the 1.0.1 patch useful? It takes considerable time to make videos like that but if people like them then we'll keep doing them.

It was useful and interesting. I'm not sure if they are worth the time investment given how fleeting their relevance is. I can't answer that.

Even if it's "just your weekend" that's still valuable time. Any time you spend on these videos, is time not spent doing something else. Whether that's PoE stuff, or rest so that the PoE stuff is even better.

You win, but you'd better play it so that there are enough players to make the tournaments full on all leagues!

I haven't read the non-ggg posts in this thread, but my suggestion is that you don't run these events overlapping for maximum participation. E.g.:

7am: 1hr Domination PvP blitz
9am: 1hr Nemesis PvP blitz
11am: 1hr Standard PvP blitz
1pm: 1hr Hardcore PvP blitz

Many people have characters on 2 leagues (Standard + Domination, or Hardcore + Nemesis), and you will get more participation overall if you don't run all 4 overlapping.


Actually, given people usually don't invest heavily in both permadeath and "softcore", you could have 2 event windows for almost as good a result. E.g.:

7am: 1hr Domination PvP blitz
7am: 1hr Nemesis PvP blitz
9am: 1hr Standard PvP blitz
9am: 1hr Hardcore PvP blitz

You would likely get a bit more participation (the maximum) with 4 separate slots as above though.

Just release the PVP system, make it cross league, and gain some valuable ACTUAL feedback.

Use the feedback, then launch the PVP Tournament.


I won't be surprised if in a cross-league PVP tournament, a HC/Nemesis player will emerge as the top winner, or that majority of the Top 10 players consists of HC/Nemesis players.

This.

A revamp of end-game Map sizes and mods. We'll probably post more about this in the news next week. One of our goals is to make the Maps larger.

Liked this part, thanks.

Thanks for the feedback about the lack of Domination vs Nemesis PvP segregation. There are problems with too much segregation (especially in leagues like Hardcore that don't have as many players) but we'll take it on board. I'd love to have it entirely league-specific but only if there are enough players to make it awesome.

While I think the video for the 1.0.1 patch was very enjoyable, if it takes time away from development or otherwise improving them game then I am disinclined to approve of them.
As you said, they take considerable time.

It's just my weekend really :P

Given how many "scrubcore" comments domination/standard players have to deal with all the time, I say the hardcore league players have no real right to complain here...

You guys keep saying how much better you are...put up or shut up. ;)

You are the scum of the earth and fail to understand basic logic.

I hope you are violated by a swordfish in every position detailed in the Kama-Sutra, and fail to survive the encounter.

You and that logic. Why would they do that when instead they can listen to fears and hyperbole?

^This.

I will definitely play the Nemesis and the hardcore PvP blitz if they put differents times for each events.

Isn't because only 5-10% of the playerbase is playing hardcore (I don't remember the official numbers) that no one will come back to older characters in this league for pvp events.

Only 2 weeks and there is still some questions pending... Hope it will come fully finished (You never disappointed me in the past, so why now? I'm sure you will do great stuff).
