I hope no one here is a dog? Or actually, that would be pretty awesome.

hum...

pretty sure it was always supposed to be the end of act3 for official release....

i have never read anywhere that they would release act4.


that is just common knowledge as far as i know....


I am not going to search for posts but I am certain that they have already started working on act 4 even if just a little. They planned to release a new act per year so in theory we should be getting act 4 next year. We will see ^^

But for now we have Act3X coming up.

I'm done. This community has become too watered down to handle. Enjoy your limited, "hardcore" success GGG!

I know not everyone will be happy regardless.

I'm trying to understand how a blind launch from a long beta helps in anyway. For an incredibly transparent development team, this gear up to launch has been a complete deviation.

I'm not asking for the world, in fact my OP even says if you want a dark launch come out and say so. I'm just expressing my disbelief in how things have gone lately.

Perhaps GGG's growth is not only limited to the game and player base, but to ego as well.

I think some humility and remembering where you came from could be applied here somewhere.


It won't be blind. GGG are entirely too wise to the game to just release something that's been in the works for years.

They overhyped Open Beta though, and I bet that's been something that's been integral to their decision-making regarding promotion of Release.

There will be articles. Interviews. The usual pre-release shenanigans and screenshots. You don't get to where GGG is (at the near-top of the crawling dogpile that is indie development) without knowing how to market your product.

Just. Not. Yet.

Nope sure isn't. Also please refrain from insulting people and calling them names, It's against the forum rules and will get you placed on probation very quickly.

Everything Charan said, you are talking about Charan, right? is very, very true. Release is 6 weeks away, for a very small development team I am sure they still have a lot of things they are working on and don't know if they will be ready or not so aren't ready to announce them.

Open beta was so hyped up that the servers crashed for a good 5 weeks because of the huge amount of traffic that absolutely no one expected. It was great and everyone was happy but it brought a ton of problems that GGG just wasn't ready for so I don't blame them a bit for taking this a tad bit slower and thinking through all the information and hype they do for Release. After the hell that was the first 2 months of Open Beta with growing pains and the instant popularity hopefully Release goes a lot smoother.

A "dog's year" is 365 days, just like ours. We share the same orbit bro.
Perhaps you don't understand the word "year".



Dogs mature/grow faster than humans, so a year for us is typically 7 years for them genetically speaking. Apparently you're too stupid to know this.

Wow I go to work for a few hours and I cannot believe the rampant disregard for an opposing opinion in this thread.

No where in my OP or subsequent posts did I ever demand anything. I'm not some 15yr old stream watcher with an entitlement complex. You can disagree with my thoughts on how GGG is handling their big release, and their marketing strategy, but that doesn't invalidate anything I've said.

Fact is GGG has been in the past, very open and transparent with many things they have been working on. I'm not asking/demanding/bitching/raging for anything, but what is the harm in releasing a few details. I don't need a damn manifesto, but christ alive they have said NOTHING, and this will probably be the biggest moment in their games history. Its so damn confusing!

And their basic marketing turn has really given me a bad taste in my mouth. The Razer promo was nothing short of exploiting your own game, in the hopes of generating a few more players? Why don't you take a few moments to invite people back with new stuff you are working on instead of pimping out the games integrity. And now basically giving away cash/product prizes for racing?!! Really? You won't do GGG points or in-game currency, but you will hand out products from other companies. Can't even get a PoE tshirt, but I can win a 3rd party keyboard. Any how this doesn't fall under online-gambling I have no idea. Would you race for money? Is that the players we/GGG want to attract?

Bottom line is GGG can do whatever the fuck they want. I don't really care in the end, and frankly they couldn't care what I think either. I don't like the recent changes they have made but I will deal with it. It doesn't mean I no longer should have an opinion, or be afraid of some PoE forum hero's calling me a whiner and a spoiled brat. I give zero fucks.

People say just wait. LOL what other choice is there! Of course I will wait. If nothing comes out in 4 weeks, people will just say, "Oh well, its launching in 2 weeks anyways"

Big launch in mere weeks an no one knows about it, and the people that do know about it, have no idea what it will entail other than "ACT3x".

GG GGG.
