Announcements - Closed Beta FAQ for Path of Exile: The Awakening - Forum

It would be really interesting to know how many people applied and how many people are eventually admitted. I doubt we'll get that info, but it would be really interesting.	Posted by Shagsbeard on Apr 13, 2015, 9:48:49 PM Quote this Post

It's going to be a self-contained version of the game where everyone starts from nothing and will likely be returned to nothing quite regularly as part of the testing. Given that guild expansion and management requires GGGold, and Live GGGold won't apply to the CB, I'm not sure how GGG will handle that. It's a temporary test realm, so maybe they'll figure out some sort of method of just giving people GGGold and not have any mtx on it? I'm really not sure. Either way, think of the Closed Beta as a totally different client/server as far as connection to the Live Server is concerned. I understand that my guild will not carry over. The group that I play with is absolutely in love with the guild stashes. The amount of Normal stash tabs cought carry over, so I would just like to see our universal trading hub (the guild stash) to be accessible. E.T.

Well, normal stash tabs will apparently carry over, so it's at least possible for them to do guilds and their tabs as well. Not sure if the guild tabs are really THAT important to test anything though, so if it takes any significant extra work to copy those over as well, I wouldn't count on it. Having the guilds themselves copied over probably WOULD be useful though.	Posted by Hodari on Apr 13, 2015, 9:53:44 PM Quote this Post

As I prove pretty much every day, financial contribution does not correlate in the slightest with game experience or potential as a critical tester. Nor does picking random people so don't see your point tbh. Not saying they should pick only supporters but there should be some advantage to actually paying for the development of said content. I doubt GGG will change anything nor is it something I'd leave in a huff over, just wanted to convey my disappointment.

Apologies for repetition if someone asked this already and I missed it. I'm curious about how deterministic lockstep works and wonder if GGG would consider doing a developer post about it at some point. I found a basic explanation of the concept on this site ( http://gafferongames.com/networked-physics/deterministic-lockstep/ ) but I get the impression there's a lot more that could be said on the subject.

Those random Joe's are valuable testers, the same as everyone else and may end up buying mtx the same as everyone else. Players that may be returning also would have valuable impressions to give to GGG on their Awakening playthrough experience compared to previous play. . -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 100% Ethical, most of the time. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- .

Again I'm not saying "give only supporters access", I'm saying that I'm disappointed that supporters don't get at the very least slightly better odds.
