Creating PROGRAMS for PoE, What do people want?

What about inventory sorting? Well I guess it can be considered cheating.

holy D. all those "cheating" and "get banned" posts. are you kids/adults real?
oh and the .exe guy. free and OPEN SOURCE. naw mean? no? OPEN SOURCE cool? j/k open source is full of haxxors. sourceforge is haxxors express. now shush so i can take over the world.

anyway... hahaha. gump, #4... auto-potion. that maybe borderline. #3 is out of my control. #1 sounds cool, but this my be out of my reach and cause problems. If the mob count gets so high, you would also need ways to farther filter the map. allies/enemies/team/etc.
stats and compare sounds cool though.

stuff that is out of our control could always be implemented by GGG. Listing ideas here is awesome either way. Great ideas.

I would love a full-on character builder like Rawr for wow.

It would save people alot of headaches and regret orbs.

A full character builder would be great. There is a passive tree skill planner out there now that works great. It uses the files from the game to load up a passive tree and allow you to plan out builds, as well as showing all of the stats you will gain using what you've picked on the passive tree.

It is lacking a few features, though.

1. You can load your current items from a character you actually have and it'll factor in that characters items to give you your overall stats. You cannot, however, load or create items that you don't currently have in order to see what your overall stats will be. The biggest downside to this is that you can only load items you currently have on any single character, and at that point, you're already far enough into your build that most of the passive tree program becomes irrelevant.

2. It shows stats/attributes you accrue, but not what your final values will be. It'll show that you've gained 500 life from strength, and 128% increased maximum life, but it won't show you what this actually calculated to as your base life with your character. This is something it could easily do given that these values are already preset in the game and would take little math to determine.

3. It needs a DPS calculator for attack skills/spells. Sure, it shows that you have 200% increased spell damage, 40% increased cold damage.. blah blah. But how much damage would your Level 20 frost nova actually do with these passives factored in?



If you could download this passive skill planner and see how it works for yourself, and then possibly contact the owner about these features to convert it into a full build planner, that would be spectacular.

they have said repeatedly they don't want and won't allow mods, they will get you banned...ignore it if you want but even simple things like a particle effects controller can get you banned.

What about Auto Hot key? I've seen some video(s)..... of players using that app with PoE. A quick key press linked up with a macro/script which will log out immediately or type out /itemlevel or type to chat. Just curious, the video in question the guy was saying it was 100% all right by GGG.

It is.

GGG makes exceptions for quality of life enhancements
which they would love to implement themselves,
but probably lack the resources to do so at the moment.

Which is why I recommended OP to write Support directly once he has something in mind.
It is just important that it doesn't use excessive automation which might stress the server.

effect replacement for the enduring cry?

my fps drops sooo low

Greetings PoE community!
I am a Computer Engineer that recently started playing PoE. Absolutely loving it so far and mad respect for Grinding Gear Games. (Never touching D3 again, haha)

Whenever I play games, I like to create either in-game or out-of-game software to assist players in becoming better, more skilled, and really getting the cutting edge.

I have a few ideas for software I want to create for PoE, but I love asking around and really understanding what the community wants.
So hear is your chance to tell me exactly what you want!

The QUESTION:
What functions, features, or purposes would you want an in-game or out-of-game program to have/serve for Path of Exile?
Really asking:
-What does it do?
-How do you use it?
-How would it improve your gameplay experience or skills?


All software produced is always free and open source. Credit goes where credit is due. If I like your idea and implement it, your name/contribution will go in the code.
Looking forward to reading every ones' input!


WARNING: No program that will control the game for you will be considered. And anything else that goes along with cheating. Cheating is bad and don't do it. Game is way more fun without cheating. The point is to assist players, not cheat.
Edited ^ fixed, haha.

EDIT 2: I think it has been decided mods are out of the question. Due to negative feedback, no game altering programs will be made. I think the focus should be on useful tools to assist players, ya?

And make something better.
Currently that program only list the items you have in stash.
Make one that you can list the items you have on ALL your characters inventory.


Do that and you will fix trading in this game.

One thing I noticed which I find extremely annoying, when you are in a party you can only see the names/hp/mana of the people in the same zone as you. I would like it to be able to always see who is in my party in the top left and if someone is not in my area, their name/hp,etc should be grayed out and say where they are located. Basically, the menu you see in the current party menu should always be visible. An option to have this displayed at all times would be great!

Suggestion for GGG:
I would also love it if there was a free teleporting system to party members. I find it very annoying when I join a party and have to wait awhile for someone to finally drop a portal (especially in earlier levels because this is a currency people do not want to spend).

If the teleporting can not be free (since it is a currency), then I would recommend the option of the person spending their own scrolls to teleport to a teammate. This would make grouping much easier and the party leader would not have to worry about constantly dropping portals for new people. The new people can spend their own portals.
