Is this a joke? why would you tell us that there will be no wipe for default till open beta then move it to legacy?

by the time i have a decent character made it and everything i did is gone? why for some stupid resists? LOL

how about let us play the damn game a bit without having to start over all the time


/e the reason im upset is because im sure nobody plays legacy and losing everything for some -% resist being implemented is a really dumb reason

Three things:

#1: There is no wipe, and "everything I did is gone" is completely false. Everything you did and all your items will still exist and you are free to play them until Open Beta as much as you want. The only change is the name of the league they are in. It's just a name. This is a "transfer" not a "wipe".

#2: Open Beta was previously estimated to occur in August. This means you were actually given a lot of EXTRA time to play with your current characters and items. If you are so attached to them, you should actually be thankful that they haven't been deleted yet, because if they had reached the August estimate, you wouldn't even have access to them right now.

#3: This is not being done simply because of the resists penalty. It is also being done because there are many many items in the current leagues that cannot drop from enemies anymore. Like weapons with improved quantity/rarity, and items with higher elemental damage than the current patch allows, and uniques that were overpowered that have since been tweaked. Can't you understand why it's difficult to do beta testing when so many old items are still floating around that mess with balance/difficulty?

We beg for legacy migrations because they nerf the living snot out of elemental damage and the economy is filled with legacy elemental gear, they refuse saying people don't like legacy migrations and that nothing will happen until open beta. Now they drop this on us?

I feel like we're being trolled.

Also, this kind of thing always happens when you craft the best armor in the game. :/

The resistance penalties that we have been testing will be enabled on all leagues (at -20%/-40%/-60%).

I think many of us will renew the friendship with Kraityn...

Incoming Kraityn nerf spotted >.>

OB should be nerf enough with the removal of Merciless. That's a cut of 25% :p

Love the armour man! Well done on the craft, must have been a labour of love.

Best of all was the troll - portal gem in sixth socket - awesome.

Petrov.

just because u can't comprehendable the situational understand in to they of those that spoked to the point in understandable them and then comprehend what their said to them and until then dont spoke

great job ggg. i seriously luv this qq patch legacy migration. this shows that the developers are serious in testing and balancing poe as much as possible before the game rolls out for open beta.

i would really like all features like pvp, evasion vs armor dmg reduction issue, ele dmg vs physical dmg issues, ele resist issues, etc, etc being tested out and balanced out as much as possible before the game is released for ob.

alot is at stake becos the developers have only 1 shot to made a huge mega historical milestone for the game at beta release. so it must be as perfect as possible... :)

for 9.13, will be able to "lock" our pvp characters to prvent them from leveling? It'd be a nice option in that we may want to farm for mats/gear but not want to level past lvl 28.

u just have to die LOL :P

In terms of names - Will it allow me to give my new char in the (new, post-patch) default league the same name as my old chars in the legacy league? Or is the naming non-league specific?

EDIT:
Will I have to remove my legacy chars to use my old names (kind like them :D)?

What does lvl 28 arena really mean?

Will i be able to stop my character progress at lvl 28?

Will it be for chaacters up to 28 lvl, or above 28?

I wasn't planning to make any new characters anyways other than the one I was completing... so I'll still be on Legacy league to finish it and see how it operates (endgame gear all gotten).

I'll still create a new character to test out these resistances that I, in my opinion, still think are scaled a bit too high.

Also gives me a chance to renew a witch build.
