State of the Beta - Post #2

Leto is right.

And I don't fall into any of those categories either.

Act 4 voice acting, hurraaaaayyy! Can't wait for it!

wipe on friday plz :)

Good work indeed.

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have enlighten. ;)

Evil Genius Laugh: Muhahahahahaaaahhhahahahaaahhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

Ty for the post and lockstep coming is very nice!


However the 2 main things I was waiting to hear there was no news on :(

1.) Is there going to be a wipe on Friday (there should be)

2.) What is the latest news about divination cards?

GGG, hey guys. Listen, i'm really disappointed with how you've handled this Beta.

The people you want testing a game(any game) are people who know what the heck they are doing. Saying that you want a brand new perspective is fine for a FEW tests, but no more. Plenty of hardcore fans with hundreds of forum posts and active, constructive community members would have loved to get in and HELP you make this game better. I can't help but feel shunned.

It's at the point for me that i honestly don't want a beta key. I'm just too frustrated to give constructive feedback at this point. It's taken a month and likely will be another 2-3 before anything is actually released to the 90 percent waiting so again, disappointing.

As for the balance changes thus far, they all seem fine and logical, but what are you doing for us in return? All you've done so far is take things away. You've taken away EB and created a quasi usable replacement. You've taken away a number of options we had with Aura's by getting rid of reduced mana, but then not either buffing the auras themselves or reducing their mana enough to compensate for the loss in dps.

Most players do NOT "struggle" with too much damage and clear speed. Balance would have been, hey listen, we are taking out reduced mana entirely, balancing aura costs so that it's reasonable to run two big auras with 150 mana left, and we upped the damage/buff's of the aura's to compensate for the fact you will be able to run less auras overall.

That's a balance.

Hi Carl!

No wipe? :-)

But yeah because I can find myself in the reason why they want to remove mandatory gem slots you want me to put in some fabricated internet categories. If you feel better doing that, go ahead but you're the one that looks like a moron that can't form one argument in a whole reply.
You say enlighten will be super-mandatory, that says enough you don't get it. Its not ment to be mandatory and they'll probably nerf the new enlighten to like 2% per level or something insignificant anyways. There won't be many enlighten at level 2 for a while, let alone a level 3 or 4 in challenge league (the gem is already rare by itself). You'll be better off finding other ways to reduced the mana reservation if you absolutely want that extra aura. At least that's what GGG wants as far I understood Qarl anyways. And again I can find myself in that reasoning.

I feel your angle, I really do but I can't help to get a little frustrated.
The only ones this shift of effect affects, are the regular players.
The elitist with low life 6link shavs can afford this new reduced mana gem.

Remove the reduce mana effect on auras? Sure, I'm down for that.
Move it to a VIP gem which only the rich and famous can get their hands on? Naah, that rubs me the wrong way.

Great Job GGG!

Im very happy with current states of the new expansion. keep it up!

and plz dont wipe :D lol take me 8 day to get level 27 lol

thank you.
