I miss old type "horror" artstyle poe used to be

I really miss a good old horror visual style in general.

yeah, and why the new league is about plants and seeds? beasts, plants, what is this zoo ggg?

i want to gather some cursed skulls, then go to the graveyard, berry them, and then after some time some cursed spirits would raise from those graves etc etc

wtf ggg?

EXACTLY! If i named league "harvest" I would want from it endless hordes of enemies & harvesting they souls to make soul weapons; but hey fiting in blooming plants... hopefully are scary ones?

I am inclined to agree. Especially the supporter packs.

I still remember the packs we got from the masters expansion all those years ago.

The armor look believable. Something I could see a person actually wear.

there was no wierd glowing effects , no massive wing attachments, no strangely organic looking armor , no extremely busy looking designs.

It was armor. metal , leather with some ornate embellishments.


To this very day i could put on most of my grand master set (minus the helmet) and as long as I dont use an overly flashy weapon cosmetic My character would look convincingly like it was part of the base game.

I cant even look at my kitava set without wondering if i payed 500 dollars for a big glowing durian.

i look at these most recent sets and wonder why the top tier one is basically a half naked dude with milk colored glowy skin.

It is off putting.

Over saturation is why we hated diablo 3s art style. sometimes less is more. and more is less.

well if you make a league with skulls and dead shit they ll have to change it for china anyway so why bother.

because they have money for it

It's hard to discribe it ...if you havn't been gaming since the begining to see it. It's the hopeless, unforgiving land with demonic creatures; That feeling you get..

idk. what it is maybe: Despair, sadness, historical decay. That's no longer present. All is neon level bright, makes me miss "artstyle" of the past.

I love the league's concept. The artstyle? No, I agree. It's not what PoE vowed to be:

These are quotes from the official "Game -> Overview" subsite:

"

Wraeclast is a dark, brutal continent.

"

We're sick of the recent trend towards bright, cartoony RPGs. The art style we chose for Path of Exile is dark, gritty and realistic. Wraeclast is terrifying, and we've tried hard to do it justice.

And then we get stuff like this:

OMG! EXACTLY! I want my games to get as much of that as possible. I think that's why I liked diablo series and other "old" arpgs in the first place.
