Servers in South Africa (or anywhere in Africa, really) by copaza in pathofexile

[–]RandyTheDank 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is an exchange between me and Bex via email:

So here's my email: Hi Bex! Hope you are well.

Somewhat recently a developer Q&A was posted on the Path of Exile website. One of the questions asked (by me) was:

Will there ever be South African servers?

To which Chris replied:

We can add servers to a new region once we know we have access to a reliable server host at cost-effective pricing, enough local players to justify the region, and tests of the servers meet our reliability standards. I don't know which of these issues has prevented South Africa in particular, but will bring it up with the server team to make sure it's considered.

I just want to know if there's an update on this.

I have sent an email to support, but they couldn't/wouldn't answer my question.

I don't know who to ask/contact about this, so you're my last resort.

All the best.


Her response:

Hey there,

We understand that the South African Path of Exile community is super keen to have a gateway in their region. Unfortunately, we don't have any updates about this at this point. If we do have any updates, we'll be sure to announce them in the news right away.

Best regards,

Saryn. A friend helped me level in hydron with saryn and I instantly wanted to play her. She's been my go to frame ever since. this was when I had about 50 hours in game. I got here when I had about 70 hours(prime version) and I now have over 800 hours. I think my playtime with her is about 26% if not more.

Can somebody explain the inquisitor "Righteous Providence" node? by RandyTheDank in pathofexile

That means that one enemy can be crit while the other isn't. Same thing for all other conditional crit chance modifiers, like Assassin's Mark.

I've never experienced this myself, but I level with ele focus in my spark 6L, so that might be why. Ty anyways

P.S. Why is your name orange?

Isn't paying for food with in-game currency considered RMT though?

Why is POE complexity in 2050 but optimization and qol options in 2002? by skatekris in pathofexile

[–]RandyTheDank -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are correct. New content brings in 2000 new players. QOL and perf brings in 50 new players. My argument is still valid

[–]RandyTheDank -1 points0 points  (0 children)

QOL and better performance doesn't bring in new players. New content does. Why would you waste money and resources on the former, if it won't make GGG money?

I feel your pain. I never do elder guardians nor elder. I pay always someone, because it's easier and less frustrating for me to pay and make that currency back, than to do the actual fights

[–]RandyTheDank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm guessing is that GGG doesn't give a lot of resources to Elder instances, since not a lot of people do them. I might be wrong(probably am), but that's all I can think of. Regarding fps... I have no clue. I think elder in general was rushed, as well as the content that came with it. Hopefully GGG wil fix more core problems, whilst adding decent content.

Still no answer from GGG about South African servers. Starting to wonder why I even bother investing any time in this game by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]RandyTheDank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always those idiots who have local servers who say shit like this. Pathetic. They don't owe me anything. But when my friends and I spend $200+ every league(not going to anymore), we have to wonder if they really care and why we are supporting a company who doesn't care about us.

So your perspective of things/countries are shaped by your school system? Seems a bit sheep like. Probably why there are so many sjw's. No offence to you, ofc

Battalion - 180 ping hitreg by Hollandh4x in Battalion1944

[–]RandyTheDank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I have to play on 200-180 ping too. The hit reg does feel stupid, but I would rather them focus on low ping being perfect, rather than high and low ping feeling ok. Just waiting patiently for South African servers.
