An Update from Chris

Glad you're being transparent. GGG is a company I obviously support(check my supporter tiles) and I love them even more knowing that its a goal to have happy life/work balance for their team.

I think one of the biggest frustration my friends and I have with POE, is its lack of in game Auction House. Especially my friends who are playing on potatoes and alt tabbing between chrome and their game locks them up on occasion.

Other than that, this game is everything I expected d3 to be. (Still no charms in either though ;)

Thank you GGG for running a company I can get behind, using a business strategy that feels fair to both consumer and developer and most importantly... creating an incredible game unmatched in scale.

I know the fixes are coming. Hopefully this will be a good learning experience for everyone, including the community.

"its name is on the list" ???

Keep on moving forward as always :)

well it would seem to me that you care, more than I expected.. you agree that the community is displeased with the current league and so is myself playing for only 1 month this game and I already detected the huge failure that synthesis is in general not only as league mechanic but also to extend the power of characters into ridiculous crafting gear.

the chris I read here is far more different than the one I saw on that dev conference.. looking forward to the Q&A answers.

as u see NEMESIS is on the top, lets find out whats new league name will be...

my type is MORTUARY now

I've been playing some Warframe lately (the April Fool's joke reminded me of its existence), and it's a lot of fun, but man, compared to GGG, they . . . wait, I should phrase this comparison in a positive way, not a negative one. Compared to certain other companies, you guys are so communicative, consistent with your timing and ethics, and just *obviously* player-friendly. Keep up the good work; very much looking forward to a smooth Cyclone.

Good on you guys for avoiding the crunch that pervades the industry. It's so harmful to the developers and to the games they create. As far as synthesis is concerned, people may vent about their problems with it, but in the end Path is probably the best game of it's genre available right now. You guys work so hard to constantly provide new, interesting, engaging content and we all appreciate it. Not all content will be well received, and nothing will make everyone happy, but the fact that PoE continues to feel new and challenging years after release is incredible. Thank you Chris and everyone at GGG for providing such a fantastic experience.

*hugs* thank you.

Thanks for the words, Chris.
I have also read about the crunch in game development lately (concerning two big names in the industry, Epic Games and Netherrealm Studios).
A totally unacceptable state, which can only lead to dissatisfied employees and ultimately diminish the quality of the game.
You should be able to take all the time needed in development and slow down if the workload gets too heavy with all the project running in parallel, even if it results in release delays. I personally don't care if it takes longer in order to ensure the quality.

I'm excited to see the details about the 4.0.0 expansion and what you come up with for 3.7.0. Keep it simple (simpler), fun and rewarding and keep up the good work!
