"Tencent has invested in GGG" LOL its fucking 80% share, "Tencent now owns GGG" is the correct statement.

GGG and PoE whose success is built on the foundation of ethical mtx sales, now sells out to the biggest pay2win game company in existence. how amusing and ironic.

nice payday for GGG founders, game starts to go down the shitter. can look forward to cheaper mtx, for a positive start.

All of a sudden, if you support GGG, you support communists... Nice. At least the founders of GGG got something out of that.

For the occasion of the 19th National Party Congress, Tencent released a mobile game titled "Clap for Xi Jinping: An Awesome Speech”, in which players have 19 seconds to generate as many claps as possible for Xi

Pure gold from wikipedia.

I guess the Supporter Pack sales will drop a lot. It is one thing to invest 60-420 € if you get the feeling to support your favorite game AND company, but knowing most of the money will end up in Tencents pockets....

I don't expect the Tencent sale to cause radical changes (outside of China at least) in the near future. Tencent bought Riot/LoL ages ago now and that's still sort of the staple of modern F2P games. The mobile side of things is another story but I can't see a game like PoE getting ground up too badly. Sales/pricing/mtx moving forward will be interesting to keep an eye on, like someone else mentioned the amount of mtx and big supporter pack sales may fluctuate now that people feel like they aren't supporting their favorite "indie" dev or whatever, but the game itself will probably just keep doing what it's doing.

Independent success sells their soul to major conglomerate never turns out bad right?

I'm skeptical. We shall see if things change I guess.

BF and reave both alternate weapons when dual wielding, and since tempestuous steel is a sword (valid type for bf/reave), using it would lower your dps significantly. This is why people use sceptres as stat sticks.

Axe works too for easy endurance charges. But lower dps. I prefered it anyway.

Yeh, if you look at my characters now you'll find I've upgraded, I unfortunately didn't think about it when I went in the first time, but it was still pretty easy, even if it took a bit longer.

This is the character now, at lvl 86, with decent gear.

This pretty much.

I'd be surprised if it won't hurt the game, but akin to the Xbox stuff it's not like we would know in advance.

yeah, I'm happy they're getting their payday. They definitely deserve it.

I'm a bit curious if the backlash against supporter packs will have a serious effect, but for some reason I think it'll blow over and they'll be making more money in the future. Either by adjusted MTX tactics (which IMO are poorly designed/priced atm) or severe milking of the China realm.

I had no idea until today of the extent to which GGG had managed to con it's playerbase into thinking of it as a charity and supporter packs as donations. I'm not sure whether it's more sad or impressive.

What do you mean? I don't think many are under that impression, but spending money on a supporter pack each league or so is not too costly for the amount of time that same player might spend playing in the league. ARPGs are a time sink. Compared to paying $60 for a modern AAA game you might get 20-30 hours of (or less than that lately when I get burned out/disappointed with it before the end), I get a lot more bang for my buck out of a league in PoE. The acquisition by a new entity may just put a sour taste in the mouths of folks that love buying those packs to support, whether or not the game or development is actually affected at all down the road. Who knows. Other than this thread I haven't really read much about it today so maybe there are pockets of the internet exploding or something. I don't think someone spending over $100 on cosmetics and supporter pack shit multiple times a year thinks GGG is some tiny startup struggling to scrape by or anything.

To be clear I haven't bought any supporter packs, but did get stuff like tabs and a handful of MTX.

There been alot of "I've given xxx dollars to support small indie game dev GGG, but now that they are big game dev GGG I won't support them anymore" and many variations on that theme on reddit, basically people who were in their mind donating to GGG to keep PoE going, rather than buying a product.

edit: and it's certainly possible that it's just a small minority being really loud right now, but the amount of it still came as a bit of shock to me.

In flashback league, where I just died twice like an idiot to volatile, I ex slammed my belt to try and get +mana or some other prefix to help get a bit more tanky (I'm MoM trickster poet) instead got WED. Does nothing for me, but man would that belt be insane for a build that used WED and cooldown reduction lol.
