I understand there has been demand for a "time-limited" league where you only get a certain number of hours per day (to favour people like me with jobs), but there are logistics issues to solve before we can do that.

Set a timeslot (ie a 2-4 hour block), during which the league is open each day. Run two such leagues concurrently with opposite blocks so all timezones have a reasonable slot available. Fixes the possible issue where players use alts to farm when their mains daily/weekly allotment runs out in an open timed event, and gives hardcore players with abundant free time a new challenge: dominate both leagues at once!

Wand blasts too, i hope!

You mention the CD versions of the soundtrack, is there any idea when the downloadable version will be up for us?
Good luck

Over a year of beta, one million dollars in revenue and still not released?

The support packs DO NOT speed game completion. They delay it.

The support packs are an excuse to keep the beta extended as long as possible and using the excuse of "polishing the game".

Starve GGG for money and see how fast the game gets released and the micro transaction system is accessible.

The ARPG model is not new and their graphics engine isn't groundbreaking. There is no reason for over a year in beta unless GGG is greedy, incompetent or both.

And then GGG had to cut staff / hours because there wasn't a budget for it.

And then GGG had to introduce microtransaction options in a small user base before the game was fully set.

And then PoE just wasn't as good anymore.

And then GGG went under.

I hope you're satisfied.

As they do not want to wipe after open beta, it is clearly a necessity to do as many balance changes in closed beta as possible. Going public will also mean that people will expect a somewhat finished product. They simply are not finished yet.

You assuming they are allready finished is clearly a result of the same issue which causes you to be mad about the delay: you have no beta key. You did not play yet. Dont blame anyone else but you. Either be patient, or solve the real issue yourself by buying a key.

Everything else is a cheap conspiracy theory. You obviously lack information about the state of the game, as well as any insight into such kind of projects. I'll tell you a secret: software projects rarely finish in time.

And I have to mention that your call for "starving" them is pointless. But I guess you know that allready, and are actually just venting your frustration. Or trolling. But hey, its the internets.... I gotta feed a troll now and then. Part of the game.

Starve GGG for money and there would be no PoE.


Also, I would rather GGG take their time with the game, so that way they can polish the game and add more contents. Look at Blizzard, for example, they released ToG far too early, and it was pretty much a joke. I am not even sure if patch 1.0.4 would save it from despair. I just hope blizz eventually makes it offline, so that way I can tear apart all the nerf they did to the game.
Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.

Yes how dare they delay their project and hold back people like you (who have paid nothing to play the game) from playing the game. I realise $10 is alot of money for some people, but basically if you forgo a 6 pack of beer, there's your beta key.

Diablo 3 was in Beta for a year and was still released incomplete, with inferno hardly being tested. Every game that has come out early has either sucked or being much worse than it should have been. DA:O was awesome and DA:2 was average, CnC rocked as well as Red Alert 1,2 then EA get their mits on it and produce a game every year that is rubbish.

There's an easy solution - pay the $10.
