State of the Beta

I really appreciate you guys taking the extra time needed to refine Act 4 and implement changes properly. However, it would be great if you considered adding the loot filter to the base game. It's a much needed addition.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Why would you complain about this? What could be wrong in adding higher tier mods? Unless..... you are a standard player and are afraid that your top tier items will no longer be top tier anymore?

I am a standard player, problems?

Heh, I've written a few of these.

Do it right. You got this.

So many changes, permanent league players are getting screwed over once again. It`s not suprising at all that it takes longer than anticipated, too many variables in the mix. Good, i can play less-nerfed version of the game for awhile longer.

It seems this game is not intendend for permanent league players, don't know even why standard still exists if this is the policy.

Indeed,Standard league is like the trash bin where all the characters from actual leagues get dumped in,the only reason it exists is for players to test different builds,items and to generally not feel ripped totally away from their characters.
We already have plenty of ''legacy'' items and all that shizzle,so what balance can there be really talked about.

tl/dr: standard doesn't matter.

Though it is disappointing to hear that it may be delayed, I am glad that you guys at GGG are getting very useful feedback and is working hard to deliver a polished expansion to us. I can't wait to play it, the release window sounds great to me, that will be around summer holidays which means more play time! Also, PoE won't get in the way of my studies.

Standard and hardcore are dumpster leagues, I think GGG leaves them there as a reminder of how bad they fucked up lol. All the RMTing is happening there, the real fun and challenge is in the temp leagues

Just out of curiosity, since the beta access is "also" bundled with supporter packs does that also mean that you guys are going to slow down the progress or delay an internal ETA artificially as much as possible to generate more income?

Other than that i pretty much like the content of the beta so far especially the idea with those spawning green ghosts and that they'll infect surrounding monsters.
Act 4 might be a punch in the face for glassy specs but that is necessarily not a bad thing in my book since its a better transition to modded maps than Act 3 ever was.

Would be interesting to know how many people are playing the beta by now.
