PC servers are restarting in: .
They should be back up in approximately .Miscellaneous News Roundup
I'm so damn tired of these few PvP trolls vomiting their garbage instantly (refreshing the forums for sure to have first page replies) at every post Chris makes.

" Could you please make this "exit to character selection" be bindable with a key in options? This is something that the less hardcore of your playerbase (those who don't use macros) would love to have. This message was delivered by GGG defence force.

I'm hearing all this noise about OMG PVP HC vs SC it will be unfair...
But the reality is PVP will always be unfair, when we talk cross-region. I mean, I play PoE regularly with a ping latency of 180 - 300 ms, and sometimes I get lag spikes, with cause some desync, so I think the netcode is actually good, because it let's me play PvE without a lot of desync based on my ping. Now, let's say I go to PVP, I'll be playing and queueing from my ~200ms connection against someone in North America with 50ms or someone in Australia with 50ms connection... I will always be at a disadvantage, because unlike the regular PvE mobs with are not that bright and have a netcode to sync against my poor ping, the regular players do not have that. I can see what will happen just by playing cutthroat, my hits will desync and I will die. So it will always be an unfair experience when going cross-region, since there is no specific region for where I live (South America), even though I greatly enjoy the game, PvP will never be a great experience. I was playing exclusively hardcore in closed beta, and in open beta I switched for the Anarchy league because of the desync deaths. I understand that being free-to-play and the costs prohibit GGG from having a gateway near everyone to help with syncing, and I won't bitch about it so much, but I really don't understand this complaining... ...I agree with the post you should have a separate ladder for cross-real PvP, let the ones who want to pit the HC char vs SC chars in a ladder of their own. It's a different game mode, one more for the game, there's no need to cap features of the game, if you don't like the cross-realm PvP don't participate in it. A lot of people dislike racing, so what, do they make petitions to cut racing out of the game? No, they enjoy the rest of the game modes available... The main thing is this, do not force change down the throat of the game population, but give them choice, heck, make it a test league, one season of cross-realm PvP only on the new 4 month leagues. Anyways, too much rant from my part, as always PoE is great fun, I throughly enjoy every part of the game, even with the shitty ping because of geographical distances, and I know the difference it makes from playing 50ms ping to 200ms, I think anyone that plays with a low ping should try connecting to a different gateway, playing with a high ping, to appreciate the great netcode GGG has, sure you will desync, and doorways are your greatest enemies, but it is still playable and fun, and is democratic, it allows everyone to play, at least some part of the game. Great work Chris, keep it up and you will have my support every time. And try to consider a Brazilian or South American gateway, that would make me and a lot of players on this side of the world really happy!!! BTW, Amazon has servers down here, and I think they are not that much expensive than North American ones, if you are running in the cloud, it could be a nice investment! " | |

i dont think faster customer support is what this free game needs, id dare say half those emails are about things people can solve themselves easily just googling or reading the forums. Even Blizzard is sacking all their support staff and replacing them with selfhelp websites.
Not that i am against job creation, but i too would rather see a oos fix , in stead of faster response times. 2000 emails of 100k unique people playing , that is 2% , half of which probably already are playing again as they figured out their problem. Its a free game afterall, people dont expect instant responses for those. ANd by the time they have to write a mail you might have already lost them as player due to their bad experience with OOS :/ so OOS > customer service |

" Aux originally played and PvPed on Standard. He's not some jerkoff HC elitist. It would not be particularly interesting to have HC guys PvP against softcore guys. There wouldn't be some sort of grand contrast since PvP builds in Standard span the gamut from glass cannon to tanky as fuck. That's because people actually make dedicated PvP builds without having to worry too much about PvE. If the HC folks came in with PvE builds, theyd get fucking creamed. Also, people are saying PvP has all sorts of unfairness so why care about different gear availability across leagues. But why not make things as fair as possible? You don't say "oh well, a couple things will never be fair, so let's just not give a shit about any of it". In any case, population is a serious concern and I guess if given a stark choice many HC players would probably rather get stomped than not play at all. I'll be doing my best to promote these events in Nemesis and hopefully others do as well. Increasing the overall PvP population in all leagues is the best solution to this issue.
