Alt art demigods incoming? Please tell us straight away if they were getting those on their server aswell ...

Like anyone would really pay more for flavour text ._.


EDIT: So apparently:
- at least 20 Alt Art Demi Triumphs (and other alt demis)
- over 200 Alt Art Reaper's Pursuits.
- 40 Taryn's Shivers
- over 200 Alt Art Searing Touch
- Quite a bit of demi rings/beacons/triumphs/chests

For those who wonder. Not very cool GGG.

RIP LOL

Remember Standard rules, all uniques tend to fall the price. Old alternative arts are showing that, whats the problem now? More bunch of demi's?

Don't be a greedy jackass and accept the fate of Putin's PoE legion comming, you are welcomed like others.

This drama is going too far

Not impressed at all with the handling of the alt arts.

The alt art decision is really terrible. I can't ever imagine buying an "exclusive" MTX again.

Make the Russian alt-art items Non-Tradeable. Don't screw over your oldest and most loyal supporters, GGG.

This is very disappointing. I really thought GGG would have came up with an alternative option for this issue.

Love the game, have loved it since closed beta, very disappointed with this decision however.

Wow, so many shellfish whiners, who don't fully understand whole situation in all it's aspects but blaming GGG's weighted decisions...

Now i'm actually more considiring to buy upcoming supporter pack! :)

Chris,

You seem well informed on the problems that exist heavily on Russian servers.
We're talking scamming, botting, credit card fraud, all the rest.

Your user base... The ones that funded GGG to where it's at now are saying no to this.

We're also well aware as aging gamers. No amount of PR could convince me Russian players
are good for path. I've just played to many games at this point.

The alt art issues are huge. We have no idea what integrity issues as far as dupes and the like
have happend on those servers. We have no idea. With our realms we do, as we follow those events.

I vote no.. I have put in about $3,000 to GGG under two accounts since the start.
Not like that matters but I only mention it because i'm no just some troll.

I do care and have invested.. I vote a hard no. Fire up some instances somewhere in the cloud
and move the base to that.

Thanks for the information. IMO this was handled as well as we could hope.

What about the real concerns?

You say players that log in with the russian gateway will be put into a russian speaking chat by default. But what will guarante that there will stay there? Are chat rules that punish abuse of russian language and cyrilic letters in non-russian chats?

What about player names? Are you able to create names with cyrilic letters? This can cause really big communication problems, also there would be the posibillity to impersonate other players by using cyrilics letter.

I don't care about Alt Arts and MTX. I think it is fair that people that achieve or purchased those in the past can keep them. It is a little bit sad for people that purchased them on the Stnadard realm, but it is the same with legacy uniques.
