dukeisaac Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Are we to expect a beta announcement this week ? No pressure, I'm just very excited to test this seemingly amazing game Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerekKruger Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I don't think there has been any explicit indication that we're expecting a beta announcement soon. That said, Josh did post this tweet about a week ago and it was also recently announced that the first play tester has completed a full play through of Deadfire fairly recently, so I could imagine an announcement could be coming soon. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormerine Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I don't think there has been any explicit indication that we're expecting a beta announcement soon. Not true. At the end of the most recent update Katrina said the next update will be about upcoming “backer beta” https://youtu.be/64U0n2SaNmI 2:48 I imagine it will announce when the beta is happening and what will it contain. When will the next update take place is anyone’s guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheisEjsing Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 It's only been two weeks since the last update. The time between updates has been about a month lately. So it will probably be a few weeks atleast before the next one. But one can always hope it drops faster. ^_^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxQuest Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if the announcement will come along with Definitive Edition in the middle of November. 3 PoE1 useful stuff: attack speed calculator, unofficial patch mod, attack speed mechanics, dot mechanics, modals exclusivity rules PoE2 useful stuff: community patch, attack speed mechanics, enemy AR and defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 New items for PoE, eh? Dammit! I thought this was my last playthrough. Will this never end...? 2 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injurai Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 New items for PoE, eh? Dammit! I thought this was my last playthrough. Will this never end...? You would always save the play-through until after you've experienced Deadfire, so you can design a profile to play through everything back to back.

TheisEjsing Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 New items for PoE, eh? Dammit! I thought this was my last playthrough. Will this never end...? Does our old PoE get the new things? Or do we have to throw in another 40 bucks? There is no way I'm not doing another playthrough even with very little new content. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 The text says that everybody who owns PoE will be able to download the Deadfire Pack DLC (which has new items and portraits). Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wormerine Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Its a small thing, but I really do appreciate that they will patch new portraits into PoE1. That way you can create a character and continue it through both games with the same look without extra modding. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wormerine Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) They didn't say that it's for free though. "The new Deadfire Pack DLC will also be made available for free to all existing (and future) owners of Pillars of Eternity on Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs to thank them for their ongoing support of what has become one of the world’s most beloved RPGs."

Sedrefilos Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'm looking forward to beta, not because I'm gonna play it (I haven't backed that high) but because we're gonna have more meaningful conversations/arguments in the forums instead of speculating all the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karkarov Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 This may motivate me to do a third playthrough as well. But we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lephys Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Yeah, you guys said it. It's definitely time for a fift-... errr... first playthrough *cough cough* Finally, being the slowest person imaginable at completing lengthy RPGs pays off! 8D 4 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lephys Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Well, you see... I see a shiny 150+ hour RPG, and I buy it. There-in lies my problem. . I have yet to complete a good many games. I am planning on jumping back into Pillars again very soon, and actually completing it.

I am planning on jumping back into Pillars again very soon, and actually completing it. Whooot?! You haven't completed Pillars yet? What are you doing being so active in here then? Off you go - finish it yesterday! Man, sometmes it happens to me too. I start an rpg and either I'm not in the mood, or something better comins in the way or I don't have enough time for some reason and I leave it midway through. But after more than 3 weeks pass I can't remember what I was doing so I must start it over. Thankfully Pillars didn't let me do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
