Columns: The Exiled Tribune - The Community Asks, GG Answers
In this week's Path of Exile: The Exiled Tribune, we take a look at some of the amazing community questions that were asked and later answered by Grinding Gear. In addition , you'll be able to hear some of the new environments in The Fall of Oriath as well as listen to Path Of Exile items the thematic music that accompanies them. It was another great week to be an exile!
Do you really expect to be able to release 6 acts at once without months associated with gamebreaking bugs? How do you plan to smooth out the 3. 0 release, what do you have in place to keep the gamebreakers down to a dull roar? Have things improved much behind the scenes since, say, Perandus launch?
The number of acts doesn't necessarily increase the number of bugs, because bugs generally come with new features rather than new content. Having said that, there's a lot changing in 3. 0. 0 so there's a lot of scope for problems to creep in unless we find them. To deal with this, we've expanded our QA team over the years and it's currently the largest it has ever been. In addition , we're running a Beta for 3. 0. 0 specifically to find problems before they affect the live realm.
Will controller support be integrated into regular POE once you're done with the actual xbox version?
< No . The control makes it a different game because of skill function and balance changes required. If we did add controller support to a PC version then that edition would probably play on the particular Xbox One realm rather than the current world. We don't plan to do this currently.
Phew... and that's just a sample of all the questions ranging on a ton regarding topics you can find so be sure to head to the links above.
The Music Sets the Tone
The Fall of Oriath will be coming with new zones and nothing creates the mood, the tension and the overall ambiance of a location than the music. With that in mind,Cheap Path Of Exile items the team put out a short video showing several locations in The Fall of Oriath along with samples of the music you can expect to hear under the screams of your enemies.
