Pages from the Upcoming Path of Exile Art Book

Came here after clicking the ingame banner about the art book, after having to look at the picture twice to make sure that isn't actually a nazi symbol.

It sure as hell looked like one at first glance.

There is no need to lean on real world symbolism to get the point across.

Love the colors and theme, keep up the good work guys ))
nazi-like enemies. really. I have no clue anymore what you are thinking, wilson.

honestly, don't look to the real world for inspiration for fantasy game enemies. that only can lead to trouble. and you got enough trouble now with the xbox reveal fiasco. add to that the fact that making nazis the enemies because it's politically correct (and even trendy!) to hate nazis is disgusting. imagine if that were muslim-looking enemies -> the sjw vocal minority would cause a shitstorm to end it all LOL. but ooh, it's nazis, it's cool to hate them, so they are fair game. yeah, no. it's still despicable to involve politics into a fantasy game. does microsoft already play a role in this?

"was made with hollywood in mind."

path of self-destruction it seems.
since I have no hope for significant game design improvements in this game I am officially done with Path of Exile. done for good

Of course most people complaining here are from Germany...that`s why this country is so fked up right now. Open borders and social multi-culti liberalism will bring it down eventually. Thanks to all those hypocrit wanna-be democrats crying over anything that only even remotely resembles nationalism or whatsoever. Let it be art or a game or any sort of opinion not matching theirs....they immediately get offended and point their fingers at you and your evil nazi being lol.

PS Good work, keep it going GGG.

Looks like you went and got yourself triggered...too bad there's no "safe spaces" there for you in Wraeclast...try Diablo.

social multi-culti liberalism


And just a little follow up on this phrase, since it just grinds my gears (sorry for the pun):

Could people start learning what liberalism means? I know it has been heavily abused in the recent american political discourse, but just the idea of socialism and liberalism do not work well together: The latter works for an unobtrusive state that should regulate as little as somehow possible while the former is the idea of a heavily regulated economic framework. Hence the "social democracy" part in most countries, where the idea is usually to protect the weak (as meaning poor, minorities and so on) from the powerful (the rich, the state itself and so on).

OMG Hockey referees are NAZI!

Not to mention that a lot of countries\organisations\(REFEREES, for example, as you can see)\etc have armbands as a part of uniform (some of those are even black or red). So should we persecute them now or what??

Remembering the tragedy - good. This will help to avoid the repetition of those event(s).
Creating your twisted mindset about all of that and promoting the perverted modern "chasing the witches" - won't help.

immersion breaking, the relation to nazi symbolism (especially of the red/white/black armband) is too obvious.

i know the german nationalism at that time is a fascinating object for the commonwhealth (i never saw so many war movies and hitler books in my life as when i was in britain) but this is a fantasy game :)

1) relation? look above for the photo of hockey referees
2)

Would it be OK if the colours would be... let's say... green, yellow and blue?
Oh! Oh! I know!
How about rainbow? LGBTQWTFTHEBBQ

And all the other things would remain the same.
Or no, armband would be swapped to the right hand (remember, kids, nazi had those on the left one).
JUST THE COLOURS CHANGED.
Would it be instantly OK?
(no, because people need to feel important and would whine over A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G.)
//ENDOF\\
Basically, the question is directed to everyone who yells "NAZIIIIII".
But sure, such people can't be affected by logics and with reasonings. Whatever.

Come on, people... This "i'm offended" BS (and i'm talking about BS ones, not a really serious cases) is getting more and more ridiculous with every year.
You won't be able to speak to people soon, look at them, your minds would be checked every second by robo-police (who knows) and might even not be able to breathe around them.

P.S. i love this art; i don't promote or adore genocide. How can you guys even mix these two things\conclusions in your mind? >_<

To anyone who these symbols mean anything, they are completely immersion breaking.

Like you would constantly see these guys in 500x zoom instead of every other monster\NPC.
ONLY THESE GUYS. EVERYWHERE. EVERYTIME.
And wasn't Lunaris temple being already "meaningful enough" to you?
That's hypocrisy, sweetie...
"
They will lead to a huge ammount of political chat and hate speech in-game.

Like we don't have this already even without "possible slight nazi resemblance", yeah.
"
Considering that you have removed skulls and shackled ladies from your artwork before, because they could be considered offensive in some communities, this has certainly not been reviewed with the same scrutiny.

They were removed because of the another reason. Lore. And Act 4 theme. Get your facts straight before posting... this...

terrible! make something original for poe dont copy and paste world history into it! NOTY!

If you didn't see it - there are already A LOT of "real world history" events depicted\referenced in game.
And places. And symbols (some of which are "hinted"). And even persons.
Remember, suffering is convenient.
That is why many people prefer it.
Happiness requires effort.

Your pronounced depiction of reality and humanitarian principles makes me wonder how one that lives in such a poor and shattered country could have afford those expensive supporter packs. ALG II still so high?

On topic: WTF? O_o
I mean I would totally go for a totalitarism themed act 5 but why the bad taste in styling GGG? I agree that is really immersion breaking. Please have a another look at Tyranny which worked so well in creating its own evil - in a good way - and last minute change those assets.

And Green Lantern is NOT of the Marvel universe btw..
I came here to drink milk and kick ass...and I've just finished my milk.
i didnt know there are so many liberals douche turds in this forum, they are all laughable.. lol
so for political correctness thats a nazi..?? ohhhh so scare a NAZI theme.. rofl.. they guess the same principle wich a ninja costume now is ISIS propaganda.. lol ok at this point lets the game be free of ur [Removed by Support] complaining about the Nazi and so on. u are just no less then human garbage if where u see is something that offend u. u need to get out of ur sociopath mentality and accept other opinions and views.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE ON THIS PLANET.

Sending some history books at GGG's office to avoid situations like that in the futur.

/rony off

Is this real ? Do you actualy check documents and artworks before publishing them ?
These artwork are promoting sado masochism ! This is not acceptable ! :D

/Irony off ( miss typed the command first time )

You can be creative and add anything you want to a game.
But everything you add is impacting the game reputation.
Doing that is a VERY BAD MOVE.
Made my day.
Hf :)

This is what 'hom-skooled' and hot-for-teacher gets you...ignorance on parade and public coprophagia (see above).
