Weekly Beta Report Three

omg really

GGG release the content. How are the beta testers supposed to be helping out when there's nothing to test out? I've played act 6 & 7 and what I've seen some Entrances and Exits not being highlighted and the new NPCs have no voices other then that I've had no problems. End of Act 7 is a bit of a grind to get to maps, however 2 weeks ago you guys said you were dropping the patch for act 8 and a wipe, so why bother grinding to maps? Act 8 hasn't been released yet and won't be till next week, instead of fixing your Damage over time mods fix your delay timer. I hear 3.0.0. will be available end of July/early August but what i'm truly hearing is late August/early September. Not releasing Act 9 and 10 in beta is a big mistake, I wonder how many bugs will non beta testers run into? I really do like the only one play through idea but I'm also thinking it's too much for GGG to handle.

I just want the MTX system so I can play my Ice Nova with a good looking mtx on it... right now the frost nova from Diablo 2 is so crisp... so fast and devestating, but the one from POE is slow and bland and the sound effect needs some work. Hopefully when I put my Arctic Nova MTX it will improve.

What about microtransaction of skin?

Well, 3.0 *is* the biggest expansion any multi-year-old game in existence has ever been subjected to, I believe. No surprise if it turns out that you guys bit off a bit more than you realized. I'll be pleased to see the final product be that much better for the time taken; I do remember the seams showing when 2.0 was rushed to make its called release.

Here's how these things work:

If you're being legit serious... There's a number of ruling titles that are, in fact, gender neutral, and were only assigned a gendering (by proxy of insistence of creating a female version) much after their origin. Most notably, titles of "Prince" and "Emperor" are technically ungendered from their Roman origins as "Princeps" and "Imperator."

"Master" falls in a slightly different category, as in denoted an office as the head of something many centuries before it was morphed to indicate a free person, and lastly, in BRITISH English, a boy no more than 12 years old. But in that case where it's ACTUALLY gendered male, it's an pure honorific, not an office title, so it's a different definition. Ergo, "Master" can be used as a gender-neutral term!

Do remember, of course, that the theme of the game is to base itself culturally upon PRE-English nations.

@ Lightningcount7734: They are maximizing on beta key sales. Can't really blame them for wanting to cash in a bit. There's a lot of paychecks to write with the extended staff, especially with the console team as well.

Then it's alot like Blizzard then, all about the cash. A few of my friends are waiting for act 8 to release then they're buying that key but with the delays happening they're going to wait for 3.0.0. now so that's less money for them. besides this is a beta, beta testers help solve the issues, people you don't have to pay to make the game better.

Where new gems and uniq items... zZzZzZz

i didnt see when the patch go live ?
