So, to be clear, we can defer items between instances/maps, or am I mistaken and they are they instance based?

Yes, you can defer items between instances. There would be no need to defer it within an instance.

Possible dumb question, did GGG mention anything about passive tree changes (aside from ascendancy changes)?

I haven’t heard of any.

Hmm, I'd hoped it would be in here. Can the new Hydrosphere both shock and chill? Or does it only do the most recent one it's been hit with?

The most recent one.

high-quality Rare item generation system

What is this?

In Heist, you could get “pre-rolled” rare items that have good mods and better links as if they’ve already been crafted. That’s what this system refers to.

Are the few ascendency changes we've seen in the video final as far as the shown keystones go?

There is always a possibility that there will be changes in the final moments before launch. It’s best to consider everything a ‘preview’. Having said that, ideally there won’t be any further changes.

Thanks for answering the most common questions. I was wondering, somewhat earlier you guys posted a schedule according to which we can expect information. Did this schedule change?

Yes, we had to swap the challenge rewards reveal and the FAQ in the schedule due to how much time the FAQ took to prepare.

What items can the Maven's Orb be used on?

Any influenced body armour, helmet, gloves or boots with at least two influence modifiers. Legacy modifiers or modifiers that can't be changed (e.g. suffixes on an item with the “Suffixes can't be changed” mod) aren't valid.

Wait, no jewellery?

Edit: the maven's orb on the reveal page doesn't exclude jewellery but that reply does, if jewellery isn't applicable I think the orb should be updated https://www.pathofexile.com/echoes

Right.

What about possessed map bosses witnessed by The Maven? Are they gonna be possessed in The Maven's Challenge as well?

Secondly, what about the Possessed Foe prophecy upon entering The Maven's Challenge? Are all (up to) 10 bosses possessed? Mentioning that bc of Possessed Uber Elder in the past.

The Maven can witness fights with possessed monsters but the possession won’t be present in her arena.

Have I missed anywhere where it says how often harvest will spawn? Is it the same as most other mechanics at 10%?

We haven’t announced that anywhere.

So we haven't heard anything regarding release schedule from this point on right? Will this league end in March? Will 3 month schedule just be offset by a month from now? are returning to 4 month leagues?

We will need to make a post about that at some point but it’s not our intention to move to a 4 month schedule.

another question about the schedule: Have you ever considered posting the actual challenges earlier? they could be released alongside the challenge rewards or make a dedicated day for it. Would be really cool!

We used to do that but it’s a surprising amount of work to showcase them due to the amount of text and translation alongside the rest of the news for the week (balance manifestos, patch notes etc) and for the amount of payoff in terms of build planning compared to other posts it didn’t feel as worth it.

Will this be a two or three months league due to being later

At some point we will need to make a news post that shares our thoughts on 2021’s schedule.

This is not against our philosophy about trade and we would like to include this at some point, but from a technical perspective this will take some time.

Wait wait wait wait wait.

You have a specific philosophy about trade that you follow?

That means that the current trading system, in all of it's completely experience ruining glory, is fully supported by your "philosophy", since you haven't actually changed anything.

Can someone explain to me why, oh why, is your trade philosophy having the players go to a third party website and then spam ping everyone interested for a mere chance of getting to spend their hard earned currency. I don't even wanna get started at bulk trades.

That is your philosophy. That is what you think is good for the game. How?

You can read more about it here.

Where are all the teasers? Usually we get around 2 teasers a day for 2 weeks leading up to launch. This time around we got a couple lore ones before the expansion reveal, and then nothing... I hope this doesnt become the new norm.

We mentioned in this post that we'd be doing things differently this time around.

It's also likely that we'll front-load the announcement to have more of the expansion's contents revealed at once, reducing the number of small teasers we post in the weeks following announcement.

We may still post a few previews but we're not doing the usual guaranteed "two additional reveals per day" thing. It's an interesting opportunity to experiment with revealing less in the lead up to the launch and how that affects things so feedback is very welcome about it.

Hey u/Mark_GGG a couple of mechanics questions about: Inquisitor>Instruments of Zeal>"Gain 1 Fanatic Charge Every Second if you've Attacked in the past second"

  1. Do triggered attacks work for this? (Static Strike ticks, Riposte/Reckoning/Vengeance, Hidden Blade, Replica Maloney's Mechanism)
  2. Do Mirage Warriors or Blink/Mirror Arrow clones generate their own charges? (for the purposes of Supreme Grandstanding)

Edit: forgot to put 'Replica' before Maloney's Mechanism

Do triggered attacks work for this? (Static Strike ticks, Riposte/Reckoning/Vengeance, Hidden Blade, Replica Maloney's Mechanism)

No. Triggering an attack is not attacking.

Do Mirage Warriors or Blink/Mirror Arrow clones generate their own charges? (for the purposes of Supreme Grandstanding)

No. Those are separate entities and do not have your passive tree.

If I hold Charged Dash, do the pulses count as separate attacks for gaining the Fanatic charges?

No. Channelling a skill is one use of that skill, from when you start channelling until you release.

If I perform an attack that takes two seconds to complete due to very low attack speed, how many charges will I get? Or in other words, at what point in an attack animation am I no longer considered attacking?

Whether you are or are not currently attacking has no bearing on gaining charges. You are considered to have attacked at the point you start the attack action.
