You guys really shouldn't throw around words like

"The last wipe before open beta"

If you don't plan on actually following through with those words.

The only Closed Beta wipe was in 2011 I believe (I haven't checked the patch notes to confirm this, but it was a super long time ago).

Legacy migrations aren't wipes, they're just like making a new medium-term competition league but less messy.

I'm not trying to make excuses though, I understand that a migration like this is frustrating if you weren't expecting it. Our policy once we're in Open Beta (of never disturbing Default, but having short-medium term leagues open up for variety that feed into default) is very clear and will stand.

Alright, yes this sucks, but it's what we're here for. We're beta testers, not players of a fully developed game. With that said, how about a passive tree reset for our current characters when they get sent to legacy? This way, we can build up our current build which we love in the new leagues and try other builds with our legacy characters. I feel this would help cushion the legacy migration.

The next passive skill tree reset is probably 0.9.13. Note that the new resistance passives are at relatively easy-to-obtain locations.

Anyway i have 4 lvl 70 above chars and couple of lowbies after tuesday those all will be removed through the ghost server which no one will ever wanna play and ll be stay at 9.12patch(which is a wipe before OB wipe).Im prepared for the OB wipe and would like pvp with my end game chars so i made bunch of them and i was trusting their word for it.

The characters are not removed on Tuesday. They join the pool of 200,000+ characters that are in the Legacy leagues. You can continue to play them, because those leagues still get updated just like every other league as we release patches. The only difference is that you aren't taking part in the new special competition league that happens to be called "Default".

You can still PvP in the legacy leagues in 0.9.13. Many people will.

Though, I do have a question. Will the character be moved back to default league when the character wipe happen in OB patch? Just curious, since I want to at least keep those names of my characters intact.

Yeah, the names will all be kept, though what league they're in doesn't really matter (probably Default) as you'll have to delete/remake the characters anyway if you want a different class.

Does anyone know what the lvl 28 PvP will be arena or cut-throat based?

Now, these are the questions
1. In order to play in the new Default (or Harcore) league with a character called Pinky, should I delete Pinky in the legacy league?
2. In order to be able to play with the name Pinky in the league that will start with Open Beta, I have to reserve the name "Pinky" in the legacy legue or in the new Legue that will start on Tuesday?

1. Yes.
2. Having that character in any league when we do the Open Beta wipe is good enough.
