Anything happening with wand skills?

As a note about your reason for not supporting linux, it not having a singificant enough playerbase.
I'd like to mention that a lot of people would be willing to main a linux system if more games were supported on it. I play on a Linux system right now (Manjaro), but many times I just dual boot in windows for nothing more than a handful of games, and POE is one of those simply because of as of my latest distro swap, I just don't want to be bothered jumping through all the hoops. |

The devs are more worried in future content than actually seeing what players what really want to do more and cut any interaction if a player has unlimited access to whatever they enjoy.
New player experience is dogshit and clearly you're not too focused in gaining new audience.. if only being honest was actually enough. "Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."
"The strange voice showed Aul a future where his legacy was forgotten, where new cultures broke themselves upon Aul's ruined world." Take me back when poe was the actual focus. |

" It's not really slower. SSFHC guys are usually first 100s every league. When you don't have to fuck with trade you just keep racking up exp. Actually you only pick up what you can use too saving mucho time. Like say you're a ES based WorBer. You dont pick up anything but T1 ES gear and wands/sceptres because you dont sell anything else. I could do half the inventory space per map and 4 tabs in SSF easy. (probably why they were so reluctant to make SSF so long since tabs are their bread and butter and you dont save tons of shit to sell SSF) Git R Dun!

" You either don't understand the game enough, or you don't understand my post. |

" I disagree. Those of us delving deep (1000 and lower) in Synthesis league just run 6-12 rotas a day and I can see no benefit for changing char just for farming sulphite. For example, on a triple rota, in which we will each get 50-54k, it is not uncommon for 1-2 of us to be capped before we conclude. So we just keep the party, and some of us burn 10k or so of sulphite, and then we come back to compete the rota. To change chars without just be an unnecessary inconvenience. |

In regards to your response on the death recap.
"I don't want to bash you, I just want to be reasonable and send my 2 cents, but it doesn't seem like this is a high enough priority here. Readability especially in games is just so so crucially vital. It makes a huge difference going from frustrated and confused at a surprise death, to learning from your mistakes. From deaths being a divine punishment from the ether realm to seeing failures as a consequence of your actions. Frustration and confusion are what will make [weaker willed] people quit, either temporarily or long term. I feel like this change could potentially help your player retention, and as such might merit moving up the to-do list in some way shape or form.

" Steam's Hardware / Software Survey has Linux users at < 1% (0.81%). https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam?platform=combined I ran FreeBSD / RedHat back in the day, but let's not kid ourselves - game support is the least of Linux's adoption issues. |
