They will do probably before 4.0.0, to accomodate the game for the android version.

there wont be an android version.

you know i am just looking at things as they are now. the game is STILL, 4 years after official release, only running DirectX. there is no support for OpenGL or Vulkan. which means that the only thing they are porting to is going to be Windows Mobile.

-Laptops running Windows
-Phones running Windows

EvE online dose this with their graphics why cant GGG ? o yha cuz they spent that money on the xbox port ....

When they release POE 2 on iphone 12.

Vulkan isnt just some magic bullet. In a lot of ways its a step backwards in terms of graphics layers. It requires a lot more programming time and talent to see any benefit from it.

Also, using ogl or vulkan wont make porting a magical breeze. Cross compiling complex programs can often be a difficult task, especially when you are also dealing with entirely different architechtures.

GGG has to upgrade the game's visuals and mechanics as soon as possible. I think PoE's time for this has arrived and passing. We need better graphics and smoother mechanics. So many years have passed but the gameplay is still far from being smooth and I think this is the main reason pushing people away from the game. Modern games, including D3 and MOBAs setting the bar higher when it comes to fluid gameplay. If PoE doesn't act now, it will die in near future. We need an update on this.

My pc is far above the specs for this game yet it can make it seem like a potato.

This is an ARPG. Can be PoE or any others it's still an ARPG.
MOBA, MMORPG, sandbox, and FPS games own the world.
ARPG are the 0.1% left, coming even after browsers games.

Do you understand why you won't see some updates like this often or not considered as a priority at all ?

Aslong ARPG's are still out of any competitive model, based only on killing trash and asking players to act like addicted hamsters it won't go anywhere.

Had to tell you the truth sorry OP. By the way i'm sure GGG is already doing some small updates on their own engine sometimes between two cofee ... :^)

That was my weekly shitpost. Cya next monday ;)

Never going to happen, its like creating a whole new game, gl with that. On the other hand if they have a budget like blizzard and willing to spend that much money, time and effort, then sure.

How hard is it to remove extra gore, burning ground, and excessive spell animations from the game?

Does not take an entire rebuild of the engine.

Gameplay is the most important. In some ways, POE was a bit of a call back to older games where looking realistic was the goal. More recent games look very cartoon like and I don't personally love it.

But what do I know, I like MUDS as well. Telnet is the best gaming client.
