I thoroughly expect absolutely nothing to change on the forums with the release of the game.

Yeah, I mean, just 'cause the game's "finished" doesn't mean they can't patch in all the changes we continue to demand.

When the game is out of beta, the beta forums will go away. That doesn't mean there won't be patches, however.

There will be a great rush of new players, who didn't back PoE and/or followed its development. They will bring a lot of senseless complaining with them, but also a lot of heartfelt thank-yous and some new perspectives on 3000-post-old discussions. Myself, I was part of the Kickstarter wave that came to frequent these boards, although I didn't register until Avellone's Arcanum sufferthrough started (I'm sorely disappointed that it just kind of stopped...). And I stayed because this place is a whole lot better than many other forums, blogs, mailing lists, whatevers that I've been member of.

 

So there will be a storm we need to weather, but it's nothing new. Gromnir, the one who's been around since the Black Isle days, has seen a dozen such storms come and go.

there will be lots and lots of complaining of course

the oldies will complain because the game is not an exact reproduction of the IE games, and the newbies will complain because the game is so old school, and feels like an exact reproduction of those old games

 

i for one will be blown away by obsidians reputation system

The same thing we do every night Pinky...

Well some people will start dissing the X-pack I'd expect, and others will start complaining about how PoE2 may or may not end up :D.

♫ Pinky and the brain ♫

When the game is released I will steer clear of the forums for as long as a full playthrough, in order to avoid anything spoiled for me.

 

If I am patient enough I will not play right away, to avoid game bugs ruining the experience for me. So the thought is that I will jump in after the 1st (or 2nd) patch that will most likely address the most prevalent issues.

 

Then I will let myself be immersed in Pillars World (although my lady & work will not let me do this as much as I will like to )

I'll be recording a full playthrough for my YT channel, and keeping an eye on patch notes, community and some mods - although I'm not big on modding unless it's bonus content/serious fixes.

I will start playing the game as soon as it is released.   I will take my time and explore every nook and cranny.  Minor bugs won't bother me but major ones will upset me.  If the game is as good as I expect it to be I may not come up for air for a month.
