They removed the chained girls on the orbs!!!! maaan wtf

I'm gonna suppose Dan is not at liberty to answer this.

But really you guys should give the option to chose between. make this the default I dont care that much. But give players an option to change it.

What I care more is about the absolute stupidity of removing some artistic content as to appease to the hysteric factions, who are not even your target audience. (frankly I verily much doubt someone with a mind so feeble as to be offended by something so simple will be able to stomach the rest of the game)

For that matter, I wonder if the fact that I cannot find the artwork of Piety unmasked anywhere anymore (not even on the wiki) has to do with such a stupid reason.

Good god. It's just a minor UI update. I for one like the new look. Those chained girls looked hilariously juvenile and significantly cheapened the art direction, and if people base their enjoyment of a game on the the appearance of two tackily-portrayed girls stuck on their screen at all times then I honestly feel a bit sad.

I can talk about it. It's just I wasn't involved in the change beyond giving some feedback on it and generally supporting the idea of a new UI for the Awakening.

I personally like this one a lot. I think it fits Act 4 thematically and conveys the idea that this is PoE 2.0 very well. I'm not on the art team though so I don't want people quoting something I say about the decision or the reasoning behind it as gospel, because it won't be.

Also, there is now artwork of Piety unmasked

well that was ...anticlimactic. I thought maybe she was missing half her face

I very vividly remember a good artwork that looked official... and she was blonde. Her outfit was rather sexy too as I suppose it had to do with her days of prostitution... that's the artwork that is missing... anyone else remember?

EDIT: sorry, dunno which is which regarding the places within the company (and I bet I would forget, have a terrible memory)

EDIT (AGAIN, YES): Someone gave me the picture, but I really cannot find this one anywhere today aside from people who had it saved. is this art, not official?



because it sure as hell looks official. I could be wrong though.

Well give us the option to pick one of the two I know one of you programmers can do that.

This is a precursor to purchasing UI themes, just you wait!

=(

It's a damn shame to see you guys caved to appease the easily upset minority with the new UI. Sign of the times sadly.
