    Changes we did to Overwolf following the feedback from the PoE community

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 05:00 AM PDT

    TL;DR:

    • We've released full opt-out from any data collection (available since the end of June)
    • Canceling our existing partnership with the research company, which means we won't be selling aggregate anonymous data (or any data) anymore
    • Updates for our privacy policy to reflect what we actually do
    • (Added more context about who we are and how we started on our website)

    More details:

    Hey again everyone,

    For those of you who don't know, PoE Overlay & PoE Planner launched their apps on Overwolf about a month and a half ago. This raised a lot of eyebrows (to say the least…), so we created an AMA about 2 days later to be fully transparent about our thoughts, plans and who we are:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/h123ac/hey_im_uri_marchand_ceo_cofounder_of_overwolf_ask/

    This AMA helped us understand your concerns & needs, and generate clear action items for how we can build a better framework. Thank you soooo much for that. I promised I'd update you with the changes we did, so here it is:

    The first work morning after the AMA, we sat together and decided to stop everything we do and make immediate changes to some of the points raised in your feedback. Some changes were already live about a week and a half after the AMA, and some are still in the works.

    First, opt-out from data collection. Our product team developed and released within a week and a half of these opt-out options on Overwolf: https://imgur.com/a/8iwDS5V

    1. You can choose at any time to opt-out of any data that is collected from your computer's hardware. Once you choose to do so, the only place that data will be saved is local logs.
    2. You can choose if you want to share with us analytics to improve Overwolf's client and your experience as a result. If that's something you don't want to do, you can opt-out of it.
    3. The last one is regarding using the Overwolf client which you cannot opt-out from. This is how we can update the apps you're using, curate apps and send hotfixes, subscription plans, and more. Without this, Overwolf won't be able to run.

    Second, canceling our existing data partnership with NewZoo. As we've shared in the AMA, we had a relationship with them in which we provided them with anonymous information for research purposes (top played games, top used hardware, etc.). While this data cannot be correlated with a specific human being, we understand the concerns this community had, and our response is to sunset our relationship with them, and never sell data again. This won't affect the sustainability of the company - our business model is predominantly based on a 30% share on ads/subs for app developers that choose to have either.

    Third, our privacy policy. We did a poor job reviewing what our lawyers wrote, and as a result, there was a disconnect between our old privacy policy to what we actually do. The goal of our legal team was to cover all the legal issues that we might have with data, and from that perspective they did a pretty good job. However, we failed in properly reviewing what they wrote, so that it matches what we actually do. This is now fixed, easier to understand, and more readable. If you like, you're welcome to check it out and give us feedback - https://www.overwolf.com/legal/privacy.

    Lastly, we learned that we need to be clearer on who we are and why we do what we do, so we've updated our About page, and shared Our Story since starting the company.

    The communication with the PoE community was an amazing learning experience for me personally, and for us @ Overwolf. I'd love to hear what you have in mind, and if you have other ideas on how we can provide you a better service.

    Thank you all very much.

    Uri

    [HSC] Apocalypse Goad - Spectre booties

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 10:17 AM PDT

    The best thing harvest brought to the game is the ability to upgrade your CURRENT gear, while you had to buy new gear whenever you wanted upgrades up to this point.

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 06:55 PM PDT

    The only way to improve your gear used to be divining the values to the best you can get with the mod tiers you had, but now you have an actual feeling of progression and don't just feel like you're only farming currency for your next shopping session.

    I really hope some of this crafting stays in the game after Harvest.

    The IIQ Formula

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 07:38 AM PDT

    Increaased Item Quantity has diminishing returns, but (AFAIK) we don't know exactly how it works because counting the number of items dropped is subject to statistical fluctuation.

    I have just checked and map IIQ seems to affect lifeforce drops in a consistent way.

    E.g. +107% IIQ, +24% lifeforce bonus = 1.87x listed lifeforce amounts. (Checked over several plots.)

    Because there's no statistical fluctuation here it should be easier to figure out the underlying mechanics. But I need data! And I can't get map IIQ much over 100% myself. If anyone happens to have time, could you let me know how your scaling is? E.g. like this.

    378 LF on seeds, 107% IIQ, 24% LF boost = 706 lifeforce gained

    424 LF on seeds, 107% IIQ, 24% LF boost = 793 lifeforce gained

    433 LF on seeds, 107% IIQ, 24% LF boost = 809 lifeforce gained

    432 LF on seeds, 23% IIQ, 24% LF boost = 631 lifeforce gained

    144 LF on seeds, 78% IIQ, 8% LF boost = 221 lifeforce gained

    NB. Adding up LF for 24 seeds takes time -- so this is less hassle if you have planted seeds of the same tier. E.g. if I plant 24 seeds which give 20 LF each, I know it will be 24*20 = 480 LF.

    Colorblind markers for sockets

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 07:39 AM PDT

    So. As someone who's colorblind, trying to color a 6link is a huge pain (for me red and green are the exact same). I have even had my 8 year old come over and tell me what colors are there.

    Can GGG add a little letter in the socket that reflects the color?

    Detailed guide on how to craft +2 minion spectre gem convoking wands with minion damage and minion double damage! Hope you enjoy!

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:03 AM PDT

    My only failed Sirus fights are to off-screen "die" beams.

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 05:42 AM PDT

    Seriously, it's a major mechanical issue. Is GGG afraid the ultrawide layers have some unfair advantage? That "hurr it's an incentive to get closer"?

    If you want players to close the gap with him, give him damage reduction if he's really far away or something. Teleporting and instantly killing players while invisible and off screen is pretty poorly thought out.

    It's an easy fix. Just only allow him to use the beam within X units of a player and make him spam the little meteors off screen or something if you're afraid of people abusing range.

    EDIT: Lots of people just saying "lol just git gud 4head". You do understand that if you die in his last phase, you can be "die beamed" while walking back to him, through storms, with no opportunity to avoid it because the audio cue is too far away, right?

    Catharina fight crashes the game since todays patch

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 01:39 PM PDT

    Happened twice in the beginning of the fight. Was able to reach the real encounter and then crashed again.

    Had no crash the whole league until todays patch so maybe something broke. Better be careful if you have something valuable to lose.

    Horticrafting Station should display all crafts from every Station in the same network.

    Posted: 29 Jul 2020 06:24 PM PDT

    When harvest is inevitably mothballed can we get a cheaper multi-mod, perhaps with a cap on what tier of craft you can use with it?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2020 05:47 AM PDT

    The title pretty much sums it up, but what are your thoughts on a more gradual pricing system for meta crafting? Pre harvest you either didn't craft at all, alt spammed for rare mods and sold them off because you're too poor to finish the craft, or blew piles of exalts on trying for the exact item you wanted. There's a pretty huge gulf there between the second and third options. What if you could at least multi mod that alt spammed base with some low tier crafts for cheaper than an ex?
