Developer Questions and Answers

I'm wondering if you guys actually play this game?

The insta-gib with betrayal, the 10% cheap exp loss, and the 'fun' of whispering 50 people to get a single map sure doesn't make me think so.

The trade manifesto is pure shit too.

Is there any plan to improve favour accessibility ? Thanks

Hello. Considering that in the last GDC talk that was published to youtube, Chris mentions that game economy and it's relative health is an important thing for GGG. I was wondering this:


How do you feel about the current game economy having almost a class structure?

More specifically, want to point to the current trend of top players who trade their way to the top, buying materials for the best of the best items in the game off less experienced players who typically do most of the actual monster slaying. These same less experienced players basically getting almost nothing in exchange and ultimately never getting to have fun with any of the powerful items being made.

as many have asked here when do Trading improvements finally come to PoE?

and another thing that bothers me even more is i have never seen another game where we need to use as many 3rd party tools to efficiantly play the game the game itself provides little to no information on anything , it buffles me that we have to step out of the game sooo many times to just do simple things like trading do builds look up skillinfos and so on

First of all, I love poe, thanks for creating and updating this game, GGG!

1. It is not a question really. Trade is in a horrible state right now. I tried to craft 2-4 cold damage per 10 dex claw and i spend 2 days trying to buy fractured bases. We need some changes to current trade system.
2. Will you add fossil/resonator stash tab?

Does the team ever think Path of Exile will reach a point where it is 'finished', or do you guys think there will always be something to be added to or changed in the game?

In any event that the game is finished or not, have any of the team ever had an idea for another game that they couldn't, or wouldn't pursue, because of PoE?

Are you considering "exploring/pillaging Tsoatha with Lily Roth" as a theme/setting of a future expansion?

What are your thoughts on phased content?

Have you thought about exploring "evolving" content to keep players engaged across a full 3 month league? I know the community speculated that there might be a "phase 2" during Harbinger league and it had a lot of support.

Will we ever see more "endless" content like Delve? Are there plans to give players who like to min/max their gear and squeeze out every bit of damage possible a place to "test their might"? As it stands you grab the right mirror bow and it will carry you to the bottom of delve by avoiding ever getting hit and providing sufficient damage to one shot everything. As it stands there's a point where it feels pointless or silly to try and upgrade my character, and when you hit that the game becomes very hollow.

If the world all of a sudden just up and ended, but the entire GGG office escaped unharmed into space (as did most of humanity, such as your playerbase), where would you set up your studio?
