    GGG is there a way to better summarise the map mods? The side wall of text becomes bigger with each league!

    [Mathil] Reviewing & Critiquing Delirium League

    Ice Crash should be 60% conversion to cold instead of 50%.

    Posted: 12 Jun 2020 07:21 AM PDT

    Seeing Ice Crash with Fists of War having big AoE in the teaser and Two Handed weapons being buffed, alongside it being a slow but hard hitting skill baseline, it actually looks like an enticing skill to atleast try out. However, only being able to achieve 90% (adding the 40% cold conversion from the tree) instead of 100% conversion, just feels bad, even if it isn't the end of the world or too significant.

    With that said, is there a reason why some cold abilities have 50% conversion instead of 60% that isn't arbitrary? I think it would be a good change for all cold conversion skills in general but primarily Ice Crash since it's the big meaty slam league.

    Edit: I completely understand the 100% conversion isn't impossible or even that much more difficult, but my point still stands. There should be no reason why converting Tectonic Slam or Consecrated Path fully to fire is as easy as going Chieftain or Avatar of Fire, or why converting something like Static Strike or Divine Ire to 100% lightning is as easy as socketing a Physical to Lightning support early on, why don't the same principles apply to Ice Crash, hell, looking at the wiki, no other Phys to Cold skill gems has 50% conversion to cold but instead 60%. It would be arbitrary to not let Ice Crash fully convert in the same with Frost Blades or Glacial Hammer or Glacial Cascade does.

    What's happened to "a lot of stash tab QoL" that Chris hinted in March (in Ziz's AMA)?

    Posted: 12 Jun 2020 07:34 AM PDT

    I think it's time to raise this question again, as 3.11 only one week away and there was no mentions of changes regarding QoL micromanagement hell that's modern POE. Link to question and answer.

    Why is guild functionality still so bare-bones?

    Posted: 12 Jun 2020 01:10 AM PDT

    Reading this guild thread recently posted made me think a bit about why GGG consistently has ignored adding any guild features to the game.

    Originally things like (as I recall, can't find the post) guild hideouts and even guild challenges were promised for the game. As I see it, encouraging communities to build around your game is critical for player retention and longevity of any kind of online game. Yet core functionality is still missing here (officers can't even be given permission to kick players, there are only two ranks, guild stash has to be policed like mad or treated as a black hole), nevermind stuff like guild hideouts and many other great ideas I've seen floated on this subreddit over the years (various collaborative challenges, unlocking services, etc).

    Maybe the logic is that since streamers are a thing now, they're supposed to fill the need for community that guilds did traditionally. Personally I don't see how screaming into a twitch chat zooming past too fast for the human eye, in the hope that the streamer acknowledges you, actually constitutes a community. It might be fine for a game that basically currently lives solely on hype, where people play it intensely for 1-2 weeks and then quits until the next league, but I think the game could do better than that.

    Personally I believe that even if the vast majority of players now are casual, isolated, exclusive solo players, if you added content and functionality to encourage old school guild type collaboration, you'd improve player retention. If there was a point to it, more people would join and form guilds. There hasn't been a single online game I played for any real length of time where my primary motivation for coming back again and again wasn't my friends in guild. The more things there were to do as a guild, the more guild features, all the better, assuming the game itself has an appealing core gameplay loop (which I would say PoE still very much has).

    More than anything at this point though, I'd love to just get any kind of comment out of the developers about this, just one post away from the Harvest PR train. Like at least provide your actual reasoning for treating guilds as the red-headed stepchild.

    I'm having light carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms and there's a new league in one week... Help

    Posted: 12 Jun 2020 03:55 AM PDT

    Since few days I'm having numbness and event light pain when I'm using PC. Nothing severe, but I "feel" my hand and wrist. And feel tension from moving my mouse or stretching when writing on keyboard. I was so do hyped on the new league start and now I'm stressed I won't be ale to play comfortable if I play at all. I won't be touching PC for next three days, however I have office job and can't really get few next days off. I just started light stretching excercises.

    Did anyone had similar problem and recovered quickly? Is it possibile to stop the pain in one week? I was so hyped for the new league, took days off to play even longer and now it hurts me slightly when I move a mouse...

    With Slams getting screen wide clear, can we maybe consider Reave as well and give back some of the Area it used to have?

    please remove earthquakes need for less duration support/enchant

    Posted: 12 Jun 2020 12:37 PM PDT

    its not a huge deal for normal earthquake but it really sucks when its time to hit that sweet vaal earthquake button and it only lasts for 2 seconds :(

    also the fact that the enchant is a thing pretty much means you must have this or you are trolling

    [QoL] My pet peeve in this otherwise amazing game: The sorting of gems that are ready to level

    Posted: 11 Jun 2020 11:43 PM PDT

    GGG, could you please make the gems that are ready to be leveled use some kind of consistent sorting?

    Often when I have a few gems ready to level up and I press the plus icon on one of the gems, the remaining ones change order. Sometimes there are gems in the list that need a higher character level or more stats to level. It's really annoying when the list is like

    • Ready to level up
    • Ready to level up
    • Ready to level up
    • Needs more stats

    and you expect to be able to just click the topmost position three times to level all three of the gems that are ready, but when you click the first one, the order is changed to

    • Needs more stats
    • Ready to level up
    • Ready to level up

    Why does that happen? Can they please be sorted consistently instead? I would prefer them being sorted in a way so that all gems that can currently be leveled stay at the top, but any kind of consistent sorting would be an improvement. Right now it feels like the order of the list is randomized each time one gem is leveled.
