seriously man? ive been playing 3 years myself. wipe off your tears and pray to keysus. if not go theory craft a build. im going to make a ball lightning no Multiple projectiles. just whizzing, buzzing orbs of shocktality.

Hopefully I'll get in just in time for the deterministic lockstep mode. I'm mostly looking forward to this.

Personally I completely do no understand a view like this. Why someone thinks they are entitled to something because they spend more time in front of a computer playing a game than someone else is beyond me. Ironically I also spend a massive amount of my free time doing the same thing which is why I don't understand. So because someone else has a job or a life or kids or a family or w/e they should be not taken into consideration?

As for the stream ruining things....... um seriously? If you are someone who wants to be surprised and not ruing it for yourself then don't go to anybody's twitch and don't watch any streams?

Threatening to leave POE altogether because of "how you are being treated" is probably the single dumbest thing I have read in years, and on the internet that's pretty surprising.

I don't like to flame or call others out, but your comment and how you feel literally utterly shocked me.

I have a few questions I would like to know if possible.


1.) I keep reading/hearing about the beta forums. Do you have to be in the beta to get access to them? Obviously there is no need to post if you are not in the beta but I would love to read what the lucky guys that have gotten in have been saying. It is possible I am just blind and don't know where they are.

Guess that answers one of my 3 questions, thanks for the link man!! Will definitely support this thread :D

People with more time explore more content, therefore make better beta testers.. Having a new player won't help nearly as much if they spend 5 hours a week playing the game.. Think about it for a second.. If you think his comments are shocking then you really need to stay away from the internet completely.

view-profile/MeisenMule/characters, blatant multi account screened?

I got 1114 hours of playing , my steam account existing since 8 months so calculate how many hours i spend for this game, i would be very good beta tester you should give access to professional players at first , then give to a new sheeps.

this type of comment will not help you get Beta access and is slightly rude to newer players whom you refer to as "sheep".

edit: side note, I've been around since 2012, have waaay more hours played in the game than you (based on the numbers you provided) and I don't have access either.

There are also ppl form 2011 who have a lot more hours than myself who aren't in either. It's the way it is. If they played favorites with the older accounts, then it would be a very, very long time before you got in. Also no new "players" (that's what you should refer to them as) would get in either.

GGG is trying to make the best of the situation, all the while knowing they can't make everyone happy.

How the Closed Beta is going so far?

BIG disappointment

@Josephoenix agreed. The only thing people really can complain about is that multi/mule accounts get in when GGG said this would be dealt with :(

IMO never support any company what hear only their voice, Cris and GGG show us all they dont care and they dont need anything as long they have thair mostly useless streamers with their average builds.

I had no idea the forums were this full of toxic commentors, I do most of my communication in-game. The beta looks amazing, I'm working the graveyard shift with the countdown on a seperate monitor, I truly love this key giveaway mechanic, the hype is real!

If by chance there's a dev reading this reply, show claws some love! I've been running hardcore challenge leagues for quite some time now and what I love most about this game is the full man-mode type of playstyle with dual claws physical damage. The only way to survive is through jumping into packs and never backing down until they are dead. The moment you stop attacking a mob, you die. I really love this playstyle, but it does not perform well in parties due to claws having such low damage. It really puts the build as a tank, able to jump into strong packs and surviving there, but killing them takes so much longer than your average ground slam build. Raise the damage on claws!

That being said, I haven't had the possibility to look into the changes to the game or the skill tree, I will make sure to try an even more ballsy all-in dual claw build as soon as I get the chance!

Keep up the good work =)
