Path Of Exile Lead Developers response regarding 3dvision.
So I sent this today to the POE head. Hi Chris. I know you are a busy man and receive a stupid amount of email so I will keep this brief and hope you see it, and have time to answer my questions about this. I have been playing POE since closed beta, many years now and consider it to be the greatest ARPG of all time. Every expansion I worry this feature is going to break, but I've been happily surprised each and every time. It has near perfect 3dvision support. Which brings the game to a whole new level. I figure it surely can't be this good unless your development team keeps it in mind. The camera perspective especially while I feel is a little awkward in 2D is absolutely perfect in 3d, The graphics have depth and have great pop out giving the feeling of looking down into a real world of Little miniatures. (when correct convergence settings are used.) * Is this this intentional or a happy fluke? * Do any of your team play in 3dvision, Do you even realize how awesome it is in your game? is it considered in development.? * Only issue is the HUD and cursor is screen depth. Would there be a problem if we developed a client side patch for this using Helix mod? (Client side visual only.) Hopefully this wont risk banning as it doesn't not effect game play. details here. http://helixmod.blogspot.co.nz/ To my Surprise I got a response. "Thanks very much! We did find out that it worked well a few years ago (happy accident due to coding it properly), but haven't maintained it or tried it since. I don't know anything about the Helix mod stuff but generally third-party programs that touch the client aren't allowed. Chris." I find it interesting he says about it being a happy accident to to proper coding. At least hes calling it like it is. Does this mean other developers simply take shortcuts?

Hi Chris.

I know you are a busy man and receive a stupid amount of email so I will keep this brief and hope you see it, and have time to answer my questions about this.
