Calm down people and realize if u've played 1000+ hours they don't need to treat u special ur already addicted and will play when it's released anyway. u've paid/ supported the game good, u did that cause u enjoyed the game not for special treatment.
the only thing u have to complain about is the fact that the 1m race ends in a few days and we usually get hype about what next but we have nothing. hype for beta is hype for something upto 2 months away. when i drops it'l be great as all ggg stuff is. but what now? will Tm/Bl be rolled into standard? what parts? when? events are fun but not for everyone. will there be no new content since december when Tm/Bl started until start of june? |

Have you shared the skill tree data to tool developers? I'm interested in seeing the new skill tree balance and playing around with it.

At first...am i a bit salty that i dont have a beta invite yet, sure kinda! I dont even know how many thousands of hours i played PoE, how many builds ive played and i´m a long time supporter which in total imo would make me a good candidate BUT...
....i understand the reasoning behind the beta and why GGG decided to even pick accounts (in a random process) that dont have thousand hours of play time under their belt, simply because its different but still very valuable feedback. Even if those accounts dont share feedback in the forums or on reddit, GGG gets statistics by those accounts playing the game. That beeing said, imo announcing a temp league, event or somehing along those lines with the beta countdown starting and the event happening parallel to the beta would have prevented some QQ. Fuel the hype and then just let peoble watch streams was probably not the perfect way, but lets face either way there would have been QQ on the reddits/forums! Sure, seeing obvious bot accounts getting picked by the random mechanism hurts a bit and fuels the heat but chris responded very fast to that issue on the reddits and they take care of those accounts... :P At the end of the day i can live with not beeing part of the beta myself (yet)! Streams like the one´s from Mor´s, Ziggy, Nugi, Willy and Kripp (and many more) provides very good feedback for GGG and let the rest of the community atleast witness the new content and i enjoyed it the last 24 hours :D A lot of AAA games (& developers) disapointed in the last couple of years and a lot of times forums & dissusions with friends a fellow gamers in our teamspeak pointed out that a simple BETA process would have (probably) solved a lot of issues. So even if i dont have the option to test the new content myself right now, i´m very happy GGG did a beta and also gets a lot of attention on TWITCH and popular gaming sites because in the long run thats what benefits us, the players most! Last but not least....pls chris announce the 1 Week Exiles Everywhere race for us poor exiles sitting in perma-league-purgatory ;P EDIT: Totaly forgot to say that the new content looks awesome so far :D The act 4 stuff could be a bit more difficult from what ive seen but i´m sure thats getting changed. The enemy/boss design looks fantastic and the new areas provide a lot of nice tilesets for maps and diversity. I think a little sidequest or something like that could improve the kaom´s area though...right now it looks just like a run from point a to b to me.

Good job for the new content release (aka Act4) first of all! It's very positive to know that you are still working on new stuff.
About the invite system: If you wanted to include a number of Alpha testers (as you did with the Streamers) why did not you GGG just invite them in privacy like Streamers? When I see a guy was last active on December 2014 or January 2015 and joined November 2014, it pisses me off, and a big number of users either. By the way, I assume that those guys last active on 2014 or early 2015, are Alpha testers, otherwise it'd be funny because it's impossible they have signed in. My best regards C: dﬨ_ﬨI
