Beta Map Drops and Patch Deployment Delay
" With the four days being working days I'm not even sure I can reach Act 4 in Normal, let alone merciless, if there is a wipe. Without the wipe, I have a character that could run the new Act 4 material in all three difficulties and at least give some feedback. |

Relax, guys
Everyone seems to be forgetting that GGG has an internal test server and has already gone through test phases for new map drops and gems and content. The point of getting it out onto a beta server is to get enough people playing to find the more obscure bugs, and to gauge how the "average gamer" experiences the content. They can do both of these in 1 or 2 days, 4 is plenty. The whole point of the last two months of beta was to iron out all the issues so that this patch COULD be completed in a week. And let's not forget that they can and will be releasing patches for the game even after its live. Do your part, play through normal and enjoy the end of act 4 and the new skills. Then wait patiently for the 10th. Last edited by IceyDevil on Jul 2, 2015, 9:42:07 AM

4 days of final beta testing starting from scratch. Where the main problem is the maps and the new content of A4?? Who thought out this brilliant idea?
Sounds like d3 vanilla beta testing and will punish the game at release with a ton of untested problems. | |
" dam right bro. We will see how it will go wrong for sure with unfixed things on live.. because no time to fix them. And then again on live wont be time to do so too because they will be busy with new league bugs :) So yet again 10 july is impossible and i dont understand this hype :) Postpone it 1 week more for the love of exile | |

haha, everyone gave their items away or vaal'd and ruined them because of the wipe announced two weeks ago, and most people haven't even been playing, and now you delay it by not one, but four days!!!! epic

" It is a short time for testing admittedly, but enough time for people to get to new content on a myriad of platforms and test whether the new stuff is working correctly. Balance testing though does take longer, but at the same time, this extended round gives them more mapping and end game info, so it is still kinda useful. Hey...is this thing on?

On a serious note. Can't you just release the skills and stuff and leave the broken content out till monday?
Sigh there goes my plans for the weekend with a couple freinds. honestly though I am your Devine one Bow before me

" And you seem to be forgeting that most of the people that play POE work for a living. As in maybe 2-3 hours a night of gaming not always on PoE. Expecting people to give Feedback on 4 Working days of the entire content is silly. People who work are thier target market but the only people who get to test will be kids who on holidays etc? how does that even make sense I am your Devine one Bow before me

Seriously guys! I suck at PoE and arpg games in general, yet I don't need more than 3 sessions of ~3 hours to reach merciless with any build. 4 days is enough. Also I am pretty sure that they act as if beta wouldn't end on 10th so that in case of any vis major situation with the release they still can continue the beta.
