P2W players don't tend to identify themselves in PoE, so it's not quite as easy to track what they 'as a group' typically believe or how they see the game. Whenever GGG explains a game design decision on the basis of "the economy" they are almost always describing a decision that caters to their whales specifically. GGG caters to those players and how they want the game to look, because the bulk of their month-to-month revenue comes from those same players. These are typically the players who want the power disparity between a 100ex build and a 10 mirror build to be as vast as it is, and object to things like UI improvements or modifications to trade as "catering to casuals". Those players have, for most of the history of PoE, correlated very strongly with the portions of the playerbase that want the game to be obscure, daunting, and specifically want to have things and power that other players do not have. The core of hyper-invested, hyper-committed, players who are sinking near full-time-job hours into the game each league and are pushing large volumes of cash into GGG for both utility like stash tabs or character slots, and for cosmetics and supporter packs. Someone who spends $1000s on stash tabs and MTX is a GGG whale. Someone who "spends $1000 on Exalts" isn't necessarily one of GGG's whales - as far as the playerbase knows, GGG is not gaining revenue from RMT transactions.

I actually got Royal Fumble last night in Duos. Still trying to find an example for Royal Fumble that's not the glitched version where the team without the tail somehow appears to win for some reason. For team games, I've checked a few rounds with squads consisting of the same 4 members, and it's not consistently the same player that gets it (ruling out a player always getting it due to low ping). For race finals, I believe the player that grabbed the crown gets it, as is standard. Haven't found any counter-example thus far, but just to add on. I've been leafing through a streamer's VOD where they played nothing but squads with randoms on one stream. I'll try to keep this in mind when I play Duos with a friend later, will report back with any significant findings. Thoughts? Counter-examples? Not dealing with race finals/team finals/Royal Fumble here, just something I only just realised about this type. ![]() ![]() This is, I'm guessing, because their time alive is converted into time to qualify, and as it is the shortest, they are considered 'first' within the group. Okay, let's get back to this topic for a bit I've just had an epiphany.įor Finals that are about survival (Hex, JS, etc), it appears that the winning celebration played could be the player that gets eliminated first. That's me appeased and ready to right the wrong of perpetuating the 'blacklisted' myth :P K3W3L ( talk) 12:44, 24 March 2021 (UTC) Selected Celebration Let me know if you can find any other counter-examples! K3W3L ( talk) 01:30, 23 March 2021 (UTC)Īlright, I finally got my own win celebration to play in Squad Mode. I'm a bit bummed that I was literally the one to hard carry my squad to a win, but one of my teammate's celebrations played instead, lol. I'll attempt to keep spading for as long as I feel like I want to play the mode (the teammates I've been getting aren't great.). I've personally seen the Plinth Catch Celebration in Squads, so I'm not sure the claim that the Super Guy Celebration is blacklisted holds much merit. Is there any proof of certain celebrations not playing? I'm pretty sure the player who does the celebration at the end is random.
