As long as GGG doesn't add "achievements", I can wait another few months. :P

Level a Character to level 10? Hooray for you! You're a winner!

Kill 5 unique bosses? Hooray for you! You're a winner!
10, 20, 50, 100, 5000....

I couldn't agree more... everyone is putting achievements in their games these days and its just getting retarded.

Also, you know what DOESN'T increase replayability? Adding an achievement to level the same character class to 60, twice. TOG actually did that. Laughed when I saw it, and thought... why? Is the leveling experience going to be different this time?

...and GGG keeps delivering!

I had figured it was probably something like that. Even though the patch has taken longer than expected to deploy, I am getting the sense that the dev team is working really hard on preparing the game as fast as possible.

Cannot wait for the patch this week =)

Thank you for the update Chris!! This is awesome news and I am really looking forward to the next patch. :D

Open beta hopefully should be coming mid-august :)

Bumped because since this thread went to necro, there have been an influx of new exiles, asking for some reason that the OB is scheduled for mid August, although note thst the quote about the expected OB in mid August have been removed from the FAQ.

IOW: OB has been delayed until after patch 1.13, with the trading and PVP systems in place, and most of the imbas, bugs, glitches and crashes ironed out.

Also, still expect crashes and bugs in OB.
We are still going to be beta testers.

I quit playing until the OB drops.

Because ATM its like I am literally playing for no reason.

/facepalm


Sry, but yeah... really

I've been checking up on the community from time to time checking on the status of the game. I am also waiting for OB to drop since I played the crap out of CB on my witch and found exactly what I want to build. For now Dead Island will keep me busy until GGG drops this beast of a game. :)

This is the latest official news about open beta
