Challenge Reward Ideas

Would the developers (and the playerbase) be interested in some of the future challenge rewards offering UI customization options?

I've seen quite a few people pine for the older versions of resource globes. Below is one seemingly very popular example of how resource globes used to look.



In Path of Exile 2, I've also seen a fair number of people voice a preference for PoE 1's energy shield display.

No decision made by the developers will please everyone, but I think weaving in the occasional customization reward would be generally well-received. This is, after all, a game with creativity and customization at its heart.

What do the players reading this think about this idea? Is this something you'd care about? Something you'd feel further motivated to complete challenges to unlock?

And for the developers -- though I don't expect a response in this post -- is this something you could easily set time aside for?

A few ideas I've either had or seen:

- alternative colors for resource pools (perhaps entire league-themed color schemes -- so, a color scheme that complements delirium; another color scheme that complements breach; one that complements blight -- so on and so forth)

- alternative designs for resource pools (e.g., older versions of the resource globes; floral embellishments; runic borders; animal statues)

- alternative map art for all maps seen with your waypoint

- background art for the passive skill tree (similar to the Atlas skill tree, the art of which looks beautiful; I love looking at all of the colors it has to offer)

- experience bar customization options (a different color, a theme (such as blood, or poison, or water), or a thicker bar with intricate designs)

- additional customization options for the chatbox (such as different fonts and different colors)
