What happens when Closed Beta starts tomorrow?

"

In addition, giving access to specific popular streamers is a benefit to those who don't get beta access (potentially yourself), because you can watch the streamers play the beta instead of being shut out completely. So they (unfairly, by your logic) give these streamers access to the beta, in part to benefit the whole of their player base.

For what it's worth I think most of the changes will be healthy and were needed - EB+MoM+AA was too much of a no brainer for casters (AA in its very concept is OP, flat damage reduction ftw), burn prolif especially in groups OP (as it was based on the sp values), Ondars was OP, especially for rangers (the change sounds about right, still worth getting but reflect will need to be managed better), and shotgunning had to go, although I'm curious to see how the spells/skills that most benefitted from it will be buffed and whether they won't become obsolete as a result. What I do think this means is that players will be forced to consider their defenses more, and probably have to have a skill for mobs and another for single target (which makes sense).
They probably wont be answered (or may have already been asked) but I have a few doubts:

- Does tornado shot still 'shotgun'?
- Will LMP/GMP be reworked as they would be too penalising, especially gmp?


I understand that GGG want to make the 'standard' game more challenging (and I can understand that's where most players are), but hc seems like its going to be HARDCOREEEEEE! (death of CWDT and above, crit changes etc). I'm not sure if I'm motivated or worried but given how much I enjoyed Invasion even in the first weeks its probably the former :D

(as for those complaining their builds are losing dps and even want compensation consider that your dps was probably excessive for a reason and a game needs to stay fresh to survive. Embrace the changes!)

All projectiles now behave like arrows. Multiple projectiles emitted at exactly the same time can no longer hit the same target. Their area of effect damage can still overlap, dealing damage to the same target multiple times.

What do you mean projectiles can only hit a character once, but the AoEs can damage them multiple times? That makes little to no sense. How does this work with incinerate, or FP?
