Path of Exile: The Awakening (News Coverage)

I cannot say how excited I am for act 4!
*praying to the Lords of Wraeclast for closed beta access*

The new changes look INCREDIBLE. Really innovative stuff, excellent work to all the developers.

I thought my body was ready, but it really was far from it.

WANT NOW. *Impatiently waits 6 - 8 weeks.* Least we still have Age of Ultron to get through first. XD

For those clamouring to get into the A4CB recall the reason this will be a closed beta, and not an open one:

A4CB is not for people that just want to play act 4. It is for those that wish to contribute to its development in a meaningful way, even knowing that it is possible (if not probable) that every suggestion and feedback they make does not affect the end product.

GGG is not offering a one-way deal; they are expecting something in return for early access.

If youre not willing to put some effort into typing up your thoughts and experiences then please do not waste GGG's time and resources by begging for (and mabee even gaining) A4CB access.

Additionally, there will be a wipe at the end so that no A4CB player will have an unreasonable advantage over another player.
All those awesome lootz is going away.
Just like they did after CB.

Well put bredin.

I've already taken the day off work, lol.

Beautiful! Now I'm hoping the structure of guilds have been updated as well. Seeing as I'm from a large guild it would be nice to see a 3 tier system in leadership based on a vote process. This will ensure that no one leader can be gone forever destroying the very guild most of us has built. By allowing a vote structure of 3 leaders you can vote one out if there leadership position was compromised or they possibly died in which case it leaves the guild intact thereby continuing to grow without One person running it. This can be implemented as an option or upgrade if you like. The point I'm trying to make is all the money pumped into the guild i own has left me dissatisfied with how the structure is for such a large guild. Hopefully, GGG is looking into this as a possible solution to an ongoing problem of my large guild.

ith all these changes, The Awakening will not be rolled out like previous patches. Instead, on April 20th, a new closed beta period will start, lasting between 6 to 8 weeks.

What!? If you don't get into Beta you wait 2 months?

o^_^o

Complainers: No plan survives contact with life. It is hard and frustrating work debugging code. Relax with your first-world problems.

I don't know if anyone asked that already, but: do GGG planning to make that jewels quest rewards? Or just drop items? Or they'll be have another source?

It would be wise to support back thoose who supported, dear GGG, when they gave you money at the closed beta of the core game and by letting them beta-test again. Surely not by making them the first to be able to, that would be orverkill and I like the lottery idea :) but for thoose who'd get in during the increasing number of payer allowed, for sure you should!
