Announcements - Closed Beta FAQ for Path of Exile: The Awakening - Forum

" Rather than adding people in infrequent waves, we will be adding people steadily using the infamous Beta Key Timer (see "Torture Devices Through the Ages") that everyone enjoyed so much in 2011. Every five minutes, the timer will select a new account from the signed up pool and will grant it access to the Beta. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I will never get lucky enough to win trough that again. :(	Posted by BisnessPirate#4992 on Apr 13, 2015, 10:01:06 AM Quote this Post

Thanks Chris for answering those questions! I can understand if people are a bit disappointed that the big release is not as soon as everyone had hoped. But I think we should really appreciate all the awesome things that this huge patch will add to the game. I'm so happy that they are trying to fix desync (THAT'S F**** AWESOME!), and then there is the loot filter, etc... It's always easier to see the bad side of things, but honestly there is so much good stuff coming. Just be happy and endure the wait for a little bit longer.

Cool info. Although, by sheer use of logic i could tell what the answers for some of the question would be the moment people where asking them. Glad to see i wasn't wrong since i would lose much of the respect i have for GGG (not that should anyone care, just saying). Wish you good luck, everyone. Hope ill get lucky as well.

I know i will play the fixed game, but I dont think I would be as excited about it after watching it on stream? Or are you saying that I should not watch any PoE stream for 6-8 weeks? They want it to be streamed because they want the publicity... You know, that´s a good thing. What can never be lent or earned? Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything: A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones. Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings. What am i?

But an overarching message in this post is: you salty olks need to take a step back and think about what is good for GGG and Path of Exile, not what is good for you. No, we don't. PoE hasn't needed a "closed" beta for any previous content update, and the releases have been excellent across the board. The throwback from stuff that is overpowered on release is extremely minimal, and if anything has added more positives than negatives to the overall story of the game (remembering back to pre-nerf frozen sky or op corrupting blood mobs is part of the poe vernacular. I see nothing but negative from having any sort of "closed" beta that doesn't include an NDA. It means that some people get to experience content, while other people get to watch other people experience content. It sucks. Poe has, thus far, existed as a company that has somehow existed outside of the current game paradigm. They have integrity where other game companies have lacked; the changing beta paradigm was one such area. No more. Yes, we do. Archwizard is absolutely right on this one. And PoE hasn't needed a "closed" beta for any previous content update because none of it was THIS BIG.	Posted by eleMENTAL2013#5409 on Apr 13, 2015, 10:22:34 AM Quote this Post
