It is confirmed that the beta is only 1/3rd of act 1, up until killing King Leoric. Also, no cinematic is included. The lore scroll that you can pick up to tell stories is also not included. There's no reasons to be spoiled being in the beta.

If they didn't have a hard cap on char lvl i will grind him again and again to the maximum lvl i can grind (even with exp penalty) Also if hardcore is in beta, i will play it exclusively though, there's nothing to lose, and if you died you can get back on your feat in just a few hours.

lvl 13

So true! I think a lot of us could join in on this.

You compile it.

not what I mean. You have to choose your form to distributed it. Via the unity web browser, or a standalone (installation/.exe file) or for consoles.

But yeah the terrain is the kind of feedback I was looking for.. Im forced to use unity for this project, so just wanted to get an idea of where I may run into issues.

I saw a pluggin for unity that says it makes terrain easier to work with, I may have to give that a closer look then, thanks for the info.

Quote from Varine: Go

I've used it before. It's a decent engine. There are some limitations on the free edition, but you can get a significant amount done with it. The biggest issue I had with the free version is that you can't stream terrain, as the commands are a Pro-only feature, but altogether it's not bad. I mean it's a game engine; you can do pretty much everything with it that you can do with any other game engine.

If you give more details as to what you want to do, I could tell you about it's strengths/weaknesses (or other engines).

oh no, Im just wondering about overall experiences, theres nothing I want to "do" so to say. Im gonna be messing around with it for a project, so just kinda wondering peoples thoughts.

edit: how did you publish your games, as standalone or web?

It also depends on where you live. I remember Eiviyn saying it was like 5 in the morning about a hour into the show when he showed up or was it half a hour.

EDIT: I wanted to post another idea but saw Molster's post. Zelda why not go over blizzard's tutorials. Some people work better with videos so blizzard's videos might not be helpful since it's mostly text. I know I get bored with the text ones.

your saying the same thing I just said. the show right now is at 5am for must, you just agreed with me. if he did it sooner, which is what I was talking about... it wouldnt be so late.

I recall to remember reading, that "...the beta will include a portion of the first act at first". I specifically remember the "at first", which clearly suggests, that they will expand the beta. But yes, I might be wrong, or it might not have been an official source. I cannot find the exact text I am referring to.

On the other hand, it would make sense to do that. From a marketing perspective, to keep people interested, and also to test all features (yay lets test act 1 all the time, just to see that runestones, which become available in act 2, have major bugs on release)

Yeah I think it may of not be from an official source. You can also check out diablofans (its one of sixens other sites) they have a link to the blue post, it will only be the first 1/3 about 2-4 hours of gameplay. Something like that, would be all over the place.

I need to be in the beta for many reasons.
I need a great deal of information from it for my site. Have a lot of work to get don.
I also like being able to play all the classes to lv13 so when the game comes out, I know which will be my first main.
I also Think giving error/bug feedback is very important. In order to make the game the best it can, it needs people to do a good job on that. and with the fully new system they are using, they even said this will be the most "real" beta test they have ever done.

Any source on that? :)

There is no source cuase thas not true, its been said diectly from them, it will only be the first 1/3 of act one, they dont not want to give story away.

They also said they dont even think they will add most of the movies.

That time is probably even worse. Eiviyn made it one night and he said it was about 5 in the morning for him and he was heading off to work.

no, this time is about 5 in the morning.. 4pm is only about 12am - 2 am depending on the area

Never! I will spam this website until I get enough viewers!!!

Actually I would have made 1 thread, but I noticed moz and the other hosts making more.

But I guess I can dump these in the void of no return once they are done :D T-minus 1 hour

and by doing so you lose all the posts people post....
it would also help if you did it while all the EU was awake you know =P

you really need to just make one thread... rofl

and he can switch the map preview to say that, and also mention the free points.

To your last point, people that use it because they do want to see this, we would simply have this information in the load screen/other places, they would know they need to at least play a little, for this to work.

Your points are all 100% valid...and theres actually ones I thought of. But the key is still more popularity in the end, than a game that currently has none. In the current system, every single extra person we get to play, is very needed help.

Quote from DarkRevenantX: Go

A few things to note:

1. Mille is reliable if I give him advance notice. Getting EU synced up will not be an issue.

2. Everyone will start with 1000 points on the MotW version and the point rate will be increased by 5x (175 points for a SK win lol), but it won't carry over to the main map.

3. People who join the main map during this time will get a one-time bonus of +10% points (if you're at 4000, that's +400 points).

4. I will not upload MotW.

5. The script limit is near but not immediate; I can make minor additions and small changes for a while by phasing out some variants like F11 and Classic (like I did with DR's Choice). I can't add any major features or new roles, though.
