Imagine downloading the whole game to play only 3 days. lol


Right, actually a nice trap for any game. do a free weekend get the bait and let the player choose how badly they want the extra mtx like stuff.

Maybe they should have done this for EA s1/2 as well. probably would of maybe had a bit more players playing, although the game was in disrepair withh all the nerfs on s2 start.

Hope this wont be slogfest 2.0 or is it 3.0 slog fest?? Hope we will have a good system in place and good player power to feel good and finish campaign without throwing the monitor across the room for many people who get frustrated lol.

This is honestly the one thing announced today that I just kind of face palm.

Everyone wants to play the start of a new league as the first week or so is the best time to play. Why would you purposely create even more issues for the first weekend of the league. Which is also going to be a negative for people they apparently think are going to spring for an EA package and MTX etc but were holding out for a free weekend. I mean you might want a stable environment to try and hook someone with.



Maybe to "release" a bit that anxiety to be the first in everything.

I'm a casual player, so I really can skip the first weekend, week or more... And feel the pain of not having done it in currency terms, but hey, i can play only one character per league and be happy.


This has nothing to do with "first in everything." It has to do with the fact that the first 1 to 2 weeks max of any league are the only time trade isn't ruined yet.

Which is part of why after the first couple of weeks in general we start to see player drop off.


hopefully trade lasts more then 12 hours this league. literally ruined as long as bots are a thing and they are. Imagine a bot grinding 50 exalts in 4 hours while you were at work and come home and can play a level 10 char that is partial act1 done. Nothing will fix trade likely until botters and rmt is resolved if even ever.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVely good
god
the servers will crash xD
whoah excited for this!
This "core" players whining about the game being for free over the weekend... yikes...

I hope they are testing the waters to maybe get EA for free before launch. More players = more Data for future plans and balances
If the forums were a mediaval court, it would be filled with jesters and doomsayers

Well I don't really have a personal opinion on that... but I think GGG's legal department might.
Those free MTX look great!
