To the person who decided that killing a pet in the story was a good idea, [Removed by Support]

THAT was your breaking point? Not the Auschwitz-invoking piles of emaciated corpses in Lunaris, not the seemingly endless pools of blood, not the flayed skin corpse shrines, not the massacre of citizens and totally-not-WW2-inspired design of the Templars' icon in Act 5, not the slaughter of animals in a literal cage match in Bestiary, not the plundering of a Mesoamerican civilisation's treasures in Incursion...but the John Wick-ripped idea that killing someone's pet is excuse enough to go on a slaughter spree.
Really? Seriously, anyone outraged or dismayed by GGG's usage of atrocity as a cheap prop *now* has not been paying fucking attention at all. Not saying you're wrong -- I fucking despise it when stories do shocking things just for a twist -- but getting your panties in a twist over this when the game's been *fucked up* the whole time seems a little bit...myopic. edit: I wonder if any of that will get censored. I know I'm skating close to discussing 'controversial' topics but I think it's disingenuous to ignore that a lot of PoE's content is pretty damn controversial by virtue of its casual aping of real-life instances of inhumanity and suffering. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. Last edited by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Oct 9, 2020, 8:00:54 PM

" a thief stole an important book then returns it the owner finds out and wants it back thief refuses and "war" happens the owner kidnaps the thief cat then apparently kills it? (stupid contract still not dropping) the end. "Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."
Poe 0.2/10 Returning to poe in 3.27: ATROCIOUS game performance, 5/10 league and I apprently missed the loot back in the last league. The more things change the more they stay the same.. |

" ok cool im caught up, cool story im ready for POE2 now. |

I'm not going to weigh in on the trigger points of various moments in the game for different people. I do, however, take issue with the fact that the title of this thread contains plot spoilers, so the decent thing for OP to do would be change that (or delete the thread entirely).
Other people besides you exist in the world. |

" Game spoilers on the official game forums?

" I feel you. But given the size and lack of restraint of the average galaxy brain's mouth, if I really cared about the 'story', I'd stay the fuck away from this forum. Basic internet convention these days: the onus is in you to maintain entertaining ignorance. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

" Huh, always thought it’s: Wake up on beach Start killing Start looting Burnout But a spaghetti of random unfinished league lore is cool too I guess. Anyone ever figure out what those harbingers were saying??? ✰CARD✰ The Survivalist
I can’t buy any more big supporter packs because the forum only supports showing 7 legacy tags. |

" I actually lol'd. But to answer the other question, yes! Mostly! A bunch of us with to much time on our hands and/or an interest in cryptography worked on translating the glyphs on the items and flavor text, and there was a Google doc floating around for a while with the results. Edit: found it! Enjoy, and feel free to contribute any thoughts you have for the newer items/cards that have been added Last edited by ARealLifeCaribbeanPirate#2605 on Oct 10, 2020, 12:24:39 AM
