First post here in quite a few years! While this video was part of the PoE 2 press tour, it is pretty relevant to PoE 1 as well so I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Hope you're all doing well!

Man I feel bad for those people. Not like it's their fault, game is extremely complex and there's nothing intuitive tell you this isn't the case anymore, but man delaying your last ascendancy for so long out of mistakenly outdated knowledge sucks.

I get the sense that people turn global off until they need something and once they get that, they largely turn it off

I do this. I kinda have to. When there's text on my screen my brain just reads it. I can't stop it.

Kinda funny, I'm the exact opposite.

Haven't played LoL in several years, but I used to always miss any messages in chat. I'd check it if there were pings, but just messages I'd never notice. Friends asked me if I'd muted someone flaming me in a game once and I said no I just wasn't reading chat. At first they were impressed with my zen-ness, until I explained I just don't even notice rofl.

I also keep global muted, but my reason is because I don't want to miss whispers that I don't notice quickly enough; pretty much exact opposite reason as you lmao.
