Once the game is in Open Beta and we have done our final wipe, we won't be doing legacy migrations any more. The default leagues will exist forever

Is this said that we will keep all our default/hardcore characters after the official release of the game?

'Official Release' hasn't really been announced; Open Beta is considered a 'soft release', and is being claimed as the last true wipe. So, if ever there is an 'official release', there will be no wipe associated with it.

please try using hybrid ES/armor ES/eva gear without CI. Then try using them with CI - it's a joke; you need to use pure ES armor if you're going to use ES, and you need to use CI.

My main (81 hc shadow) is ci and uses evade/es hybrid gear on all slots except shield (since es/evade shields cant spawn caster mods and also have a worthless implicit).

No joke!

He didn.t had to, his words were pretty cristal clear.

To the guy saying you don't need armor, the difference in endgame performance between a 4k hp Marauder with 18% DR and a 4k hp Marauder with 40% DR is huge. But as you said, you've only ran a couple of 60s maps so far so maybe you shouldn't make such definite statements like "you don't need armor, just hp" then.

I guess we all know this is still beta.
You didn't understand my original point, I have absolutely no problem with wipes/migrations/whatever. It's a beta and it's normal.
I was just stating that the devs should not be making affirmations like "there will be no wipe/migrations after open beta" ... the game will still be in a beta state (albeit open) and a tons of things could f..k up the balance/game and the only thing to get rid of it will be a fresh start aka wipe.
That's all.

[...] there will be a level 28 PvP tier [...]

thanks for fixing < VOLLS BAPTISM - Brass Maul >(27!) before you do this.

A few questions:

• All future balance changes and patches will be applied to legacy leagues, right?
• Including the new resistance penalties?
• So this migration is purely to provide a clean slate, item wise, in the default league?

Haven't gone through a migration before, so a bit confused about what the goal of all this is.
