The artisitc direction of the game is really odd with mxt

LOL

dude i just saw the wings video, theyre huge and so obnoxious

fucking ridiculous

Please, for love of all our nerd rage, convey the desire for more gritty and grotesque MTX to Chris and whoever is in charge of money.

Every new mtx that is added is creating a conflicting sense of dark/gritty world with fairyland little pony bright glowy characters running around.



Sadly, I doubt our pleas will be taken into account.

Let's face it, glowy shit sells.


Sigh...

As the person with possibly both the most GGGold and motivation to spend it, I've found the last few rounds of offerings utterly unattractive. Glacial Cascade is an ice spell and looks amazing as such; gore cascade is ridiculous. Seraph/Elite armour? Sorry, is this Guild Wars 1?

And now glowing fucking wings?

SERIOUSLY?

Thank you so much. If they'd listen to anyone it'd be one of the people who have spent thousands of dollars on their game. We've all invested what we can. This is disturbing as hell. Watched the video of the wings and literally turned around to my room-mate and said yea I may quit path of exile.

Of course I'm not going to quit it's a great game. But really...I've put close to 200$ maybe more? I forget what I spent on supporter packs...now I'm just willing to pay for an MTX that turns the obnoxious immersion breaking bullshit off.

Vomit.

I had the feeling this game was more about gore and rust.

It seem to me the Art done a 100% volte face in the other direction with the mxt.

Those seraph wings really look nice but why couldn't t it be some black crow wings or bloody bones wings instead?

It might sell more, but in the end the game look like a mess, with shinny stuff all over the place in blood environments, like the gods who created this place are schizophrenics or something.

Without light, darkness has no meaning. When people look up at the night sky, do they see the vast empty darkness of space, or do they predominantly notice the tiny pin pricks of light we call stars?

I see nothing wrong with adding some leathery horn tipped demonic wings. I just think that if everything in the game is decrepit and dull than the game has become nothing more than a smog choked Los Angeles sky - so full of itself that it has become devoid of meaning.

The players complaining about the seraph wings didn't complain about the "bright shiny" flaming skulls, or flaming swords or other flame effects which are bright and shiny - so I find such comments on that aspect to be hypocritical.

That said, I do thing that Seraphs as beings of flame, should have wings of fire. Six burning wings to be precise.

There is nothing wrong with allowing some players to choose MTXs that are the opposite of the dark, gore laden effects most PoE players want.

Fear not, most players in PoE will choose bloody, boney, dark gore effects. A little Solaris amongst a world of Lunaris isn't a bad thing. It's like having both men and women, instead of just one sex.

vive la différence!

I'd say that if GGG keeps vast majority (say 9/10) of MTXs macabre, then it will be fine. A little more variety (some player effects that give you the bruised rotting zombie look perhaps) would be welcome too. Bone, Blood and Flame are good, but I'm sure the creative minds of GGG can think up something sinister and different.

Charan removed by support soon? Devs like Guild Wars and WoW ;(

Watch out for Seraph Halo MTX.

Up next Angelic Robe, Angelic Wings, Angelic TP.....

UP next Divine....


Up next godly...

I wonder if somebody decides what the MTX should be or the Art Devs just do whatever they like and some working on MMORPGs just recreated their MMORPG work and that's how Seraph stuff got introduced.

Some MTX could be that simple

Reaper Robe for example gives the character a black robe no next to nothing is visible, then add Scythe themed Spectralthrow and you got a dark theme but why did we get Golden/Seraph Spectral Throw?
