Chris Wilson is a genius who couldn't...

To be honest.....I legitimately think this particular user is NOT what he says he is. I believe it to be a bot account that makes posts for some unknown reason and pleasure.

His historical posts, no matter what age he claims to be or whatever reality is....don't make any sense. I believe he's also been asked multiple times in the past what his native language is, and he's never once given it. Also of note is that only "some" of his posts have the *translated with deepL* tag while others conveniently have that missing. Age and ESL don't automatically mean incoherency in ALL posts...that actually takes effort.

He also has a habit of starting random threads in nearly every forum, indiscriminately. Like....truly random titles and content. Like someone typing into an AI generator "write me a forum post on a random topic about the game, Path of Exile, from the perspective of a non-native english speaker".

And you can see also, in the past, that he has had perfectly 100% coherent posts as well. With an almost completely different tone, typing style, and responsiveness. So there appears to be a mix of perfect english and.....AI fakeenglish for some reason.

Regardlesss, this whole thread should be moved to off-topic or general discussion.

I have a feeling that GGG has already anticipated this type of stuff. Thank god

I changed the translator in with deepl to www.translate.ru


There is an MTX problem that already exists - oddly enough but custom-made - separately - they are not beautiful. Therefore, the appearance of the new MTX is not a guaranteed factor of joy.

Moreover, it is striking that GGG spend resources on boots (MTX) while they are not visible at all. is useless for gameplay

I do not exclude that if instead of one league 3-4 months GGG will be critically focused on customizable MTX, then this will bring more benefit than the new league

What do you mean boots aren't visible at all ?

This isn't Diablo 4 where they indeed aren't visible half the time because they have pants !

The game is about 12 years old. The engine itself is limited. What you see is what you get, unless the original POE gets an overhaul, which is what POE 2 started out as, but turned into it's own beast.

POE 2 will probably meet your hunger for aesthetics. Honestly, majority of people playing aren't playing for how the game looks man. That is closer to the bottom of the checklist.

Stability though, if you were upset about that, it would be understandable. You still can't run high mob count maps, or high draws per screen without experiencing some sort of crash in your runs. My guess is it is part of this engine limitation too.

It's gearing, currency values, and technical toughness of some bosses that keep people coming back each season, not only to check out the newly added seasonal stuff. Combine that with years of refinement on the controls, and abilities people can use. Remember when people were crying at the drastic horticrafting changes? I don't hear anyone crying about it anymore. They've figured out how to work around the changes, and enjoy duplicating some pricey cards from time to time. :)

It wasn't all peaches and cream in the early days. Hell, I started playing right before the season where you would take body parts on a map, and form an elite for loot farming etc. And if I made the mob too strong I would either A) Die, or B) crash. It wasn't fun crashing all the time. They've gotten much better but still the game crashes. No matter how powerful a machine you have. I'm certain a lot of this is server side mumbo jumbo causing this issue too.

First of all, boots are not significant compared to MTS of active skill
And secondly during the battle only active skill is visible - and sometimes it is not visible.
That has nothing to do with the boots.

Unfortunately you did not understand the essence of the question - I understand you need to read the text before that.


Unfortunately, what you wrote is not synchronized with the meaning of the topic


PS

what we're saying is that visual aesthetics lead to endorphins and it's missing from the game.

PS2

in order not to remake the whole game - it is suggested to remake MTX = customizable MTX

This is what a network and tree for MTX customization might look like - I have of course oversimplified the diagram - it should be 10 times larger

We can spend points in one direction and can in another changing the color, damage, shape and anything else....

The big orange star is the beginning

You're suggesting giving cosmetics actual dmg boost etc?
Yeah, that's a "no"

Sure, it would be nice to be able to change color or something in some mtx but I don't think it's important.
Also they would either need to make preset colors for them or do a lot more work on them.
