What's the point of Eldritch Battery now? I'd rather the node be completely removed instead of what it will be in beta. GGG has always wanted players to chug mana pots, but I never ever saw the fun in that personally..

Still, I am looking forward to the expansion and not so much the beta right now. It really doesn't seem too fun based on what is being proposed.

Beta is not supposed to be fun though. It's supposed to be for testing to make the game fun once the beta is over. It's basically your chance to provide feedback that will actually impact the game and make it more fun for others once it's released.

If you're looking into burn and proliferation (better late than never), remember not to destroy Righteous Fire and Searing Bond as collateral damage, those skills are not the problem.

put some %es leech nodes behind new EB.

Interesting changes :)

I think a lot of people have lost sight of what a beta actually is nowadays. Its not an early access thing. its a state of the game where things are broken and not fun and its effectively the testers job to find all the crap that makes it not fun.

Yay!!!
Mucho Excited!

But... no word of Shock Nova?

In a patch note you could say

-Desync has been fixe
-Shock nova has been reworked


and people would go apeshit happy for shock nova without noticing desync

Wow come tomorrow TENS of people will be able to play the beta! BETA HYPE ! ;). Still the changes look interesting can't wait to see it on streams.

288 per 24 hours, plus the eventual shrinkage of the time between selections, mini-events to earn keys, giveaways, etc.

2016 players at the end of the first week just off the timer alone.

Fairly solid.

I fear this will take all accounts. Not just active ones so, 2000 is nothing.

2000 out of what? 100k? 1M? Might aswell skip internet for 2 months.

Fairly certain GGG's taken account activity into consideration. Or one can hope anyway

So many changes, will take some time to get use to such...


"Attack skills. They now have a multiplicative damage bonus (rather than increased physical damage) as they level up."

Does this mean Physical Damage characters have to worry about element reflect even more now? Funny since I was talking to my friend earlier about how one of the bigger problems we have with melee was elemental reflect as a pure physical damage build. Ash, Hatred, Physical to Lightning, and WED, are massive DPS boost. Or does this mean these will be less effective now since it's not pure physical multipliers being added as the gems level?
