A fantastic Q&A session. Amazing that it was even possible in person. Mark really reinspired confidence about the game for me with his elaborations. He acknowledged that a few things really went wrong in Necropolis and with the way he approached the design of Settlers by directly addressing some of the biggest pain points of the playerbase is very heartening.

[@tsunamie1015]

@@sudhaunshuhardikar3933 This could very well be because PoE 2 is now actually just around the corner. When Chris was still in charge there was still no definitive date set and at that point any changes made to the game would still be potentially catastrophic. Now they have much more liberty to just connect the two games together, as we see now where we get an entire hub are from PoE 2 ported back into PoE 1.

[@RedShadowOfSaturn]

Reading this thread is interesting, because the last I watched any major PoE announcements, Chris Wilson was still in charge. What's a short summary of the staff change? Lot of changes/updates here and recently seem to have gone over pretty well, unless I'm missing a lot? Been a while since I've played, but I don't know what it is about this city building league, I'm kinda psyched to play again.

these are real OG Devs that are actually know what people want and what is missing. after almost 10 years of PoE im literally blown away by the amount of changes. Finally we get an AH. (bye bye price fixers and bots ;)) it will be such a gamechanger. and to implement a soft version of sim city or patrizier etc.. into the game is something i was hoping for a long time. i think everybody at some point in their gaming lifetime did play sim city, anno xyz, patrizier, theme park or whatever and did enjoy it. so i think its a win win if it feels good and right. you are the gigachads guys keep on trying new things and keep on adding massive content into new leagues. every dev in the world can look up to and learn something here. thats whats possible if you bring cool creative ideas to life and beeing connected with your audience! cheers guys greetings from germany. keep on rockin!

Hate to say it but i don't see why price fixers would be gone? That's still going to be a problem 100%

[@progfz23]

@@kylebusc3624Did you miss the new in-game automated anonymous trade market for currency in the announcements? Key word is "automated" - you can't list something with this new system and not sell it when someone is willing to pay, you don't even need to be online for it to happen. So the most primitive way of price fixing is dead for currency trade using new system. What is still possible - cornering the market by buying up everything below certain price and relisting at higher price but that's fine, it's still a major improvement over current situation of false low prices and no one actually selling at those prices. And don't forget, each transaction withing this system costs gold that is not tradeable itself, meaning that a person engaging in active re-selling of currencies will have to farm appropriate amount of gold.

[@Scorptice]

Price fixers will insta lose their currency on the market. They can only exist on the trade website

[@Krelin01]

@@kylebusc3624 i mean they will be gone for currency items for sure... pure logic right if you know how they operate. for all non currency items it will be still a problem. but hey how manny body armors do you buy in a league for you charakter??? maximum 3-4 i guess.. how manny currency items do you buy for your char over the course of a league? hundreds? thousands? there you go.... and so will some botters loose interest for sure they not gone but at least manny will move on cuz they made most monney from flipping and price fixing currency items.

@@mathewsmith8073 A lot of the things that made Affliction broken are kind of throttled this league just by virtue of implementation. Part of the problem was just having it in every map. Another part of it was it interacting with MF. Beyond that, I'm sure the numbers are more reasonable.

Holy cow... you were probably the first youtuber I followed from some 10 years or so ago... It all started with D3 and I started PoE because of you. Damn, I got and played Faster than Light because of you lol... Unfortunately life eventually caught up with me and it's been I don't know how many years since the last time I sat down to actually play a video game. Stumbled onto Asmongold's video about the new PoE league and my eyes shot up when I heard "Q&A with ZiggyD". I remember you doing a video talking about how you actually weren't a very confident person but eventually ended up convincing yourself to act confident, therefore convincing the people around you that you're a confident person. That video really stuck with me. Well, none of this really has anything to do with the Q&A, just wanted to drop by to say hi. I remember the video you did when you started to go full time YouTubing, really happy for you to see that you're still YouTubing today. I hope the past couple of years has treated you well, great to see you again, you're looking great! =)

[@valor6485]

They actually, unironically, created a stock market in POE 🤣🤣🤣

[@bknight3391]

They talked about the items from gambling having a similar system to necropolis, where lower tiers of affixes are removed from the possible pool. I've said this before in various places, but if they wanted to make dropped items more powerful overall, they'd simply have to remove lower tiers of affixes from the drop pool as item level increases. Obviously, there's some balance there. It doesn't make sense for T16s to only drop T1 rolls, but maybe removing an affix tier every 3 or 4 map tiers would work. I don't know if they can actually track this with in game data, but if this gambling market ends up being a big source of gear usage for the league, I'm hoping they look into enacting something like this for the core drop pool in the future.

[@DarkParadeHF]

I would love if allflames worked something like beasts and craft them directly onto maps like delirium layers. Take the map device UI and turn that into the crafting menu for each map to do the haunted mods and allflames. They could be an alternative use case for tormented spirits as far as getting the allflames to drop. I really enjoy being able to customize my drops for a semi ssf playstyle.

[@TheRealTnT4u]

have they said if the settler town is account bound or character? Like if you have your league starter and then create a new character do you have to start the town over? Same question but with gold, is gold shared across your characters or do you have separate gold per character?

League after league the thing that makes me stop playing is that I run out of scarabs/sextants that are fun for me to run. I run out of the 4 scarabs I like most, so I go down to my 4 second favorites. Then my 3rd, 4th... But eventually I have to buy scarabs or run scarabs I don't want to run. And rather than do that, I quit. I alch and go to finish whatever project I'm working on, and then don't start another. If the market fixes that, and I think it might, it might be the best change to PoE since Atlas Tree.

That currency trade could have white maps, and maybe un identified maps, all in the same stack.
