GGG's One and Only, Rory Rackham!

from Forever Exiled · host Tagz, Wrecker of Days

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Rory Rackham, Lead Game Designer for GGG! He's had an impact on so many (maybe all?) aspects of Path of Exile and has been a major voice in the development of the game since PoE itself was in diapers; a true cornerstone of the company. In episode 237 we talked about the life of Rory, what led him to GGG, how the ride has been, where it's going, and snack bars! We had such a good time getting to know him, that we were surprised when the questions came to an end! Thanks, Rory for giving us your time! We had an awesome time getting to know you. And, of course, thanks to everyone who joined us this week. We can't thank you enough for your support and we know you'll love getting to know Rory more!Check this out after you've listened to the episode. It's Rory rap we referred to:"...Now this is a story all about howES got nerfed right into the groundAnd I'd like to take a minuteJust sit right thereI'll tell you how I made our Int defences totally fairAt the top of the tree, it was nerfed and raisedOn niche builds was where it spent most of its daysNot for min-maxin', just trying to be coolIf you didn't like life, CI was your tool'Til Vaal Pact and GR let it put life to shameStarted making trouble in the metagameIt cakewalked the fights and the team got scaredWe said, "You're getting a big rework 'til the meta's repaired."I ground down the values on all of the gearHad to buff some base types to keep it all fairAll to nerf what you could get from the best rareThen I whipped up new life modsThat all armour could shareWe dialed down some keystones, giving them all a flawWe tweaked crafted mods and we added some moreSo that's all the changesBut don't you be a haterYou'll try it all out and we'll tweak it in Beta"Rory's Info:Twitter: @RoryRackhamIG for his new game: intangiblegamesForever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

Explicit Last Day Lemonada Media This is a show about the moments that change us, fundamentally and forever. Each week, host Stephanie Wittels Wachs (Lemonada’s co-founder and award-winning queen of darkness and light) is sitting down with a new guest to explore happy/sad stories of survival, resilience and transformation. After three seasons of exploring the "last day" of people’s lives in an effort to understand mass epidemics, Steph was ready for a change herself. Some “last days” are hopeful. Some are tragic. But at the heart of every “last day” is also a new beginning. Laugh/cry with us. Explicit
