Interview with Brother Laz and the 0.9.13b/0.9.13c patches

Remember that we're running two hardcore races this weekend - a Solo Turbo Hardcore race at a hopefully Euro-friendly time, and a Hardcore partying race at the normal time.

What an interview from Brother Laz. I am happy he is helping out PoE grow to be a very successful ARPG game in the future, and it speaks volume from the dedication in his work. I cannot wait to find out what those "CLASSIFIED' items were. :3

Damn, sounds like Brother Laz's job is the gaming studio's equivalent of being an actor in a porn film.

PoE is running a promotion where fans can submit their own legendary item designs.

Kind of annoying having so much discussion about D3, I guess I have already heard it before and have moved on/not interested in that topic.
Great interview. I actually like the d3 discussion because it teaches some good lessons about game design.
fans can submit their own unique item ideas?

where? and when? :|
Great to see an interview with Laz. I'm a huge fan of his work and I became very interested in POE once I heard he was going to work on it.
While I understand that he was saying why designing gear for an ARPG using MMORPG rules is flawed, I didn't actually understand why it was the case. Could anyone else try and explain? I'm kind of interested.

I think you cannot quote the first post of announcement thread due to a new tech they added in order to automatically RSS feed the annoucement post out to the homepage

It works fine on other forums section.

About the interview, personally I think it is quite bad. The interviewer keeps asking about D3 again and again, which reflect Laz as a somewhat egotistic person in his answer. Just my 2 cents

Personally, I find D3 as an example what you should never do in gaming. That is why there is always a comparison from TL2-D3, PoE-D3, and GD-D3. D3 is always being a reminder to avoid making an epic mistake since they are not as well-known as Blizz, so they cannot afford to implode like D3 did . Blizz already raked in so much $ from it.
