Changes at Icy Veins!

Recommended Posts

Is there a specific date for the visual update, or is Damien's Soon still the most official "date"? :D

It is pretty cool that there will be a community manager, and congratulations on your new job!

Definitely looking forward to the secret stuff, whatever it will be.

I think we're still at Soon :P

 

Thanks, hopefully I can make a decent impact! The secret still will be amazing, I'm sure of it

Hey, just made an account because I thought I'd try and mention this somewhere you guys can see.The other day I tried unblocking your ads, y'know, trying to do the nice thing and support sites that I use yadda, but there is something...not quite right with your ads. After I unblocked them I noticed that Firefox, on any of my tabs, started locking up and acting incredibly sluggish. Disabling your ads once again solved the problem. No idea if this issue is prevalent or on anyone's radar but I thought I'd throw it out there. Maybe it can be one of the changes?

 

On to happier news, your site and the information it provides has been a big help for me. Thanks for keeping the site going!

Cheers for the feedback Khalidus.

 

I will pass this feedback to Damien who will have a look into it.  If you're interested there has been a post on our use of ads previously so go have a read

Hey there,

The kind of problem you describe is why we've started looking for different sources of income (such as premium or Patreon). I don't really know what to say, I send reports every week to the ad agency we work with and these problems just never seem to stop. If you are willing to help us track down these ads, so we can investigate the problem, please send us a message at [email protected]. We'll do our best to help.

It's hard to say, but I'm going to work a lot on this for the next few days and see where that gets me. The main issue I had to face is that bbcode is disappearing from the forum software. It's actually a good thing, because the rich text editor really works now. It's just that I had to replace all of the custom bbcode I had created for these forums with editor buttons. The development process for these buttons is a bit clunky so it took like forever, but I've finished last week. I even made some nice drop downs for Hearthstone, Diablo, and Heroes (like, you click the button, start entering text in the dialog window that appears and it autocompletes to show suggestions based on what you typed - super handy, Sottle tested it and loved it).

this is the reason i had to disable ads again as well.. doesnt seem to matter which browser im using either.. also even though they arent supposed to be there, it seemed everytime i logged on, i had videos autoplaying, which started screwing with other things i was trying to do.. that being said.. i love this site, its helped me a lot, and considering the time you all put into it, i wouldnt mind paying a reasonable fee for a premium or patreon membership.. 

 

Blainie, congrats on the new position! looking forward to the incoming changes :)

Yeah, it's really frustrating to have it happen. We're trying to fix all of this kind of stuff, but it's encouraging to hear that people are willing to look at other options with us. It gives us the freedom to explore possibilities!

 

Thank you and I hope we can get them out to you soon!

Hopefully we'll get these events and communities running ASAP, mainly so that I cheat and win all the events. Just joking. Or am I?

      Today, we release our Path of Exile site. It is not entirely finished yet, but the content is there and we felt comfortable sharing it with Path of Exile players from our current audience.
      This is a project that we have been working on for quite some time (so nothing to do with the recent Diablo announcements or lack thereof). We developed a CMS from the ground up, using our many years of experience with Icy Veins as a basis for the various features we required on the publishing side of the site. We also added things such as a proper item database or a dev tracker. These are things we can't have on Icy Veins, because the tech the site is running on would not permit it. Hopefully, one day we can run Icy Veins on our new tech and do all these things, if we feel like it.
      As I was saying above, the site is not 100% ready, but it is very close in terms of features. We worked hard in the past two weeks to fix all major bugs, so that end users can have a smooth experience, and we have enough content to cover the currently most popular builds. So we are waiting for your feedback!

      Currently you will find the following things on the site: guides and news for Path of Exile, an item database (still missing out a couple of base items), a dev tracker (Official Forums + Twitter + Reddit), and of course forums where people can discuss about that game.
      Our guide offering is currently as follows:
      Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist Build Arc Mines Saboteur Build Guide Glacial Cascade Mines Saboteur Build Guide Ancestral Warchief Ascendant Build Guide Ascendant Hit Elemental Build Guide Aurabot Ascendant, 8 Auras Build Guide The Cleave Ascendant Build Guide Herald of Agony Occultist Build Guide Frostbolt/Glacial Cascade Totems Hierophant Build Guide Uber Labyrinth Farmer Juggernaut Build Guide Rain of Arrows Deadeye Build Guide Tornado Shot Deadeye Build Guide The Baron Zombies/Skeletons Necromancer Build Guide Toxic Rain Pathfinder Build Blade Flurry Gladiator Build Guide Spectral Throw Raider Build Guide Cyclone Slayer Build Guide We also have a beginner guide for fresh exiles.
      With all that said, we're hoping to see you on that new website and are looking forward to your comments!
      Please welcome our newest website on Path of Exile!
