Suggestion about the Voice Acting

First off i just want to say you guys are doing an awsome job on this game and it really is giving me the feeling of d2 which is the greatest action rpg of all time as far as im considered, so whatever you guys can do to make it more like d2 is a good thing, for example how baalruns bring people together and is something you never get tired of, you should have something like this in the game the term "runs" like chaos runs and baal runs in d2. but thats off topic and ill post that in another thread... now what this topic is about is the VOICE acting, I truly respect new zealanders and love their homeland where lord of the rings was filmed its beautiful... BUT... i think that you guys should consider re-recording a lot of the voice acting with internation and american voice actors because the new zealand accent is a little too notiecable on most of the characters and NPCS, this can take away from the experience of the game by making it feel not as authentic, for example if you had some badass african voice actors or people with different accents like asian or american people it would be amazing and throw in a lot of diversity in the voice acting. Thats all for thanks for looking at my suggestion!
I think it's only considered "inauthentic" if you think that all fantasy voices have to sound american or international - which is not something I would particularly agree with unless you want to be the same as everyone else. Path of Exile is a different game in a different setting to the standard fare and as such I prefer it to have its own unique sound to the characters.

Polynesians and races of that type are little represented in fantasy - except as evil orcs and the suchlike ; ) - so it's nice to see Grinding Gear are utilising them as an influence for the noble warrior race of the Karui.

I'm biased of course but I'm personally happier with a slightly unique sound to the world of Wraeclast!
Era uma casa muito engraçada
Não tinha teto, não tinha nada

Ninguém podia entrar nela, não
Porque na casa não tinha chão

Ninguém podia dormir na rede
Porque na casa não tinha parede

Ninguém podia fazer pipi
Porque penico não tinha ali

Mas era feita com muito esmero
Na rua dos bobos, número zero
Uhm... isso é um caso muito peculiar!
