Any answer about the supporter packs?

There are probably Abyss packs in a week or so if none of the current ones strike your fancy.

Nope, the whole point of leagues is that it's a fresh start for everyone.

I just figured we could reuse the same character and have them start fresh like how D3 does it (no items/level rollover from previous seasons), that way we don't eat a bunch of character slots. Oh well.

I just delete whatever my lowest level or least geared character is in standard, don't play standard except for a few minutes to test a new thing or to use all the vaal orbs to get a feel for RNG.

I feel you, because I'm very attached to the character names I come up with and am currently full up on character slots. It'd be easier if there was a way to archive a character/tree/gear, but I figure that's a ton of extra overhead for very little upside on GGG's part. Mostly though I'm just squatting on the names. One of these days I'll come up with a Scion character that doesn't suck and JillNyeTheScionGal shall rise again.

The other half of the answer is that if you buy a points-only pack, its cost can be credited against a supporter pack, up to 80% of the supporter pack's cost.

i.e. if you buy $20 in points now, then later want to buy the $30 supporter pack, it'll only cost you $10 to upgrade.

It's been pretty strong for early leveling, but I'm not sure how good it will be at higher level content, probably workable.

I don't know why anyone expected it to be super-cheap. It's the same price as a quad tab and stores much more.

As someone who's spent an ungodly amount of money on this game, I do wish that these sorts of huge QoL improvements didn't cost the amount of money they did. If nothing else, it makes it harder for me to sell it to people as an F2P game. (I also wish they wouldn't do lootboxes since I think lootboxes are kinda scummy in general, but at least they have a normal mtx store too.)

Well fortunately all the mtxs do is improve quality of life. I think poe has the best monetisation model of any game I've played apart from maybe dota 2, though I haven't played that game in years so maybe it's different now.

I like the lot boxes personally, I get a couple when I feel like it just after they're released and get a few cheap, random cosmetic items. This time I opened two, got an ice cloak and a dumb hideout cosmetic. It was fun and I didn't become destitute. I guess I wouldn't be upset if they didn't exist either though. If you genuinely get upset about not getting the dress-up outfit you want in this largely single-player game I dunno what to tell you.

When I recommend PoE to people, I tell them that there's zero need to put in any money until they're done with the campaign. That seems to sell it pretty well.

It'll be interesting to see what actual results of the ongoing backlash against lootboxen will have. I kinda have to wonder how much of GGG's revenue comes from selling the boxes, as opposed to the quality of life tabs, supporter packs, and specific cosmetic items. I see a bunch people talking about buying dozens of mystery boxes, who knows how many drop like a cool hundred every time a new box is released. I don't think there's been any official comments from them.

I mean, GGG is in a good place to weather the storm even if it goes bad for boxes, they have a great game, and a lot of good non gambling poo poo to sell.

Sure hope this works!
I wonder if there really are a lot of people who buy points to then buy lootboxes. For me they have become a way to use some of the points I have accrued buying supporter packs; though it still sucks to get 2-3 pieces of a set that doesn't really go with anything and then having to wait months to actually use it.

I really don't get the loot box hate. Personally I don't buy them because I don't like spending real money on RNG, but whats the big fuss? If you consider loot boxes a waste of money then don't buy any. :confused:
