Making the impossible possumable
First it's the BattleTech thread and now this. What's with beta periods that make the weird people crawl out of the woodwork? :yikes:

e: lol page snipe. Maybe we should take the opportunity not to derail the topic any more. So how about the beta access guys?

I would like to participate in the beta but I don't really want to burn out before it's actually out. I wonder how the bandit quests will be revamped.

I'm going to try really hard to not touch the beta, for the same reason. If there is enough hype though I might not be able to resist :negative:

I was planning on picking up one of the new supporter packs, and that will come with a beta key, so I guess I'm playing the beta.

I'm gonna play it for like a week then get bored or frustrated and stop until it comes out. Hope there's some build guides cause I'd rather test the play through instead of figuring out what kind of build I need to make it through act 5 6 and 7.

I'm well over the $500/lifetime mark at this point and I'm going to get a supporter pack so I'll have to try my hardest not to do the beta, at least until they add Act 8 later on and the delay between wipes will be probably longer.

I'm definitely not playing the beta; I barely got my second character high enough for their build to start working (1st was WI CWC witch, 2nd is now chieftain lots o life RF) and I want to let that sit for a while.

Same here. I was actually planning on getting one one of the Legacy packs, but they didn't really appeal to me. So unless the new packs are utter arse I guess I'm in the beta as well!

I saved up some money to buy a moderately-sized supporter package, but I won't be playing the beta much aside from planning builds

I burnt out on Legacy getting the portal, so I'm avoiding the beta like the plague to give myself a break. I'll see the new stuff when 3.0 actually lands with whatever challenge league they add :)

New supporter packs and new trailer.

Not a huge fan of the Beast set, I do like the others though. Not sure which pack I will grab this time around, not much MTX I really want right now but I am 100% out of points for when anything new releases.

Link is down but should be correct for the beta installer if you don't want to use Steam.

I thought that the far left looked way better in the video. Eclipse is my favorite for sure, but Kitava looks really good in motion and the weapon effect is awesome.

This, but the exact opposite. Eclipse looks like a loving Overwatch character.

You people are crazy with your expensive packs. I just bought the cheapest pack I could to get into the beta, because the key is the only part I care about. It is the summer now and I have some time, so I figured 'why not?'. Installing the beta now.

Haven't played in over a year, and don't remember all that much. Any suggestions for a good noob way to start?

Had the same problem. I have it linked to my steam account though, and the beta is under one of the branches. Probably much faster to download that way.

Pretty much any spell caster, 2h melee, bunch of totem builds, summoner, basic bow stuff. There's a billion builds that are viable self found to early maps.

I mean, no one *really* cares about the mtx's that much. It's more like, "I want to support GGG because I love their game and they haven't forced me to pay a penny even though I've sunk 2000 hours into it so what level of patronage am I comfortable with".

Going HC or SC? I'm so torn. SC is obviously the smarter choice but HC into unknown content is fun as gently caress.

I've played a couple characters in previous leagues. Had a tornado shot ranger following neversink's guide a couple years back. Last year I had a mahori erqi earchquake dude who I did some labyrinths with. Just not sure how things have changed.

That one should be fine. Some of the big changes in 3.0.0 are ES getting nerfed and Ignite/Poison getting reworked to get rid of double-dipping. That build does use fire damage, but it's not getting all its DPS from ignites.

Pretty much. I toss 20ish bucks a month on average at GGG because their game is really good and so is their business model. I don't have to, but I like to.
