Brother Laz[edit]

I'm not sure if it should be mentionned in the article, but a developer named Brother Laz worked on this game (check his "Boo" [blog article](http://modsbylaz.vn.cz/)), and he is a famous Diablo 2 modder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.64.84.160 (talk) 13:51, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability / Proposed Deletion[edit]

I've added 3 references from IGN, "Ten Ton Hammer" and "Rock Paper Shotgun" - all well known sites about gaming. I've taken the liberty to remove the notability template since that should now be given. If you feel this is not enough then please elaborate on how much coverage is required. - Kempeth (talk) 06:55, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please, please, please[edit]

Where it says taht gems can be attached to weapons can i write "like in Final Fantasy VII" PS: If i could have made that sound less fanboyish i would have. Zidane tribal (talk) 07:24, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had the same urges. Be strong my brother. We can endure this 190.17.110.67 (talk) 22:56, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Overly detailed / written like a guide[edit]

I believe an Overly Detailed or a Written like a Guide tag should be added to this article. There is a large amount of descriptions of in-game "spells" and such. --24.53.59.160 (talk) 02:47, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the lists of skills and currency. Way too much information. HereticBleach (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:07, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gender Lock[edit]

It would've been nice if someone mentioned that this game provides gender-locked classes. Thanks. 2601:5:9000:53:9510:D4DF:7D3E:BA1F (talk) 23:33, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook game[edit]

This game started out as a mobile/facebook game many years ago (at least 3). I believe that should be mentioned somewhere. ErdoSa (talk) 15:26, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Was it the same game? Do you have a source for it starting as a mobile or facebook game?-gadfium 21:08, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not the SAME game. But it's the same game. If you know what I mean. Same name, same makers, same exact logo. https://www.facebook.com/pathofexile ErdoSa (talk) 09:43, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I'm looking through the page and realizing theres no evidence that it was a facebook game first. Which is amazing because i know it was. I literally made a separate facebook account JUST to play the game, and it's the only thing i subscribed to. This is so bizarre. ErdoSa (talk) 09:51, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Business model[edit]

It should be noted that the shop offers not only cosmetics but also account upgrades such as additional character- and stash slots. The same applies to player organized guilds: The member limit can be increased and a guild stash can be unlocked/upgraded. Skasski (talk) 12:51, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

possibly outdated information[edit]

Worth mentioning that I just added information on the talisman update, set to go live later today. It would be nice if someone could check out the site/my refs, and also c/e the section. I also noticed that earlier in the article it gives player counts from March 2013 and has an 'exact' number of passive skills (in the skill tree/not abilities). Newer player counts would be nice, if they exist. Also the 'exact' number of passive skills is probably incorrect now, as the passive skill tree has been completely reworked several times, and the ascendancy skills offer smaller, specialized passive skills. Maybe it could/should be changed to 1000+ instead of the exact looking number @ND Killa ^^^ 13:20, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion and league[edit]

Since 3.0 of the game, every major patch: the three months cycle patches (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5) are expansions as well as league. For example, PC Gamer stated "Over the past year, Path of Exile received three major expansions that each added a significant new feature.". It seem the section need rewrite. Matthew hk (talk) 19:20, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Caio Bessa:, even the dev did not define what is major expansion and what is mini-expansion (and please do not rely on POE wiki) . Please don't add number to it. Instead, may be all "major" patch need to be listed instead (2.6, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, etc), as the primary source (the dev) call them all as "expansion".

Matthew hk (talk) 23:49, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And once again April 2021 league and patch was marketing as expansion instead. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3075476 Matthew hk (talk) 09:42, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fangame?[edit]

So, would Path of Exile be categorized as a "fangame" as it was made by fans of hack and slash action RPGS? Cganuelas (talk) 21:39, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

what to include in Plot[edit]

Currently, the article only summarizes the plot of the campaign (Act 1-Act 10), which completely ignores all Atlas-level lore. (Shaper/Elder, Maven & Eldritch specifically). If we consider the average poe's player's playtime, the vast of majority of it will be in maps, to which the atlas lore pertains. therefore, the current plot section could be considered to be unrepresentative of the actual game. my idea is basically 1 paragraph for act 1-5, 1 paragraph for act 1-10, and 1 that includes shaper/elder, maven, eldritch, and basic atlas stuff. thoughts? (also, the setting section, especially its last few sentences, is written too mysteriously and not in the preferred style.)
