| Why is Blizzard collecting endgame feedback now? www.diablofans.com/blizz-tracker/topic/18785-why-are-blizzs-betas-so-useless Thread: "Because blizz uses betas only to chop, never to add. Other games added alot thoroughout thier betas, at this point, blizzard is just honing & balancing some stats w/ thier PC team, everyone else is plaforming. Something is'nt working right? Chop it." Dev Response: "You’re right. This is what we’re doing with Beta, because that’s how we utilize our Beta process. Not every company has the same exact goal or process for their Beta testing. Our goal is focused on fixing or removing broken things, so that when the game ships, we deliver a sturdy base game that’s both fun and works." First let me say this youre track record with D3 in no way gives me confidence that your going to "deliver a sturdy game base" after this game releases Second youre acknowleging that you wont be adding anything to beta only taking away. Conclusion: If consensus is that endgame is still non existent in ROS, and you have no intent on addressing this issue before release. You're basically asking me to give you 60 dollars in good faith that you're going to fix the game that's been broken for 2 years at some undisclosed point after release. Does that about sum it up? P.S Still waiting for pvp that was featured on the box of D3 2 years ago. | ||

Why ask for endgame feedback now when you acknowledge that your only subtracting from the beta? We're asking for endgame feedback for a number of reasons -- most notably because it’s one of the features we've received the most community inquiry about (and something we know is important to good chunk of our players). While we may not be able to implement some of the more grandiose ideas we've seen shared on fan sites and these forums during the course of our beta, we still want to know how you feel our current systems and features can be improved. And we're still interested in exploring options for the future! Development doesn't stop at launch with any Blizzard game, and Reaper of Souls will be no exception. Similarly, while a big focus of the any Blizzard beta is polish and refinement, that doesn't mean the only thing we intend to do during beta is remove content. As an example, we've taken the bulk of content that was once Nephalem Trials and converted them into a new style of event called Cursed Chests. These events should be available in the next phase of testing and on the PTR, and we’ll be able to share a bit more about them as that draws nearer. Based on your'e track record with D3 why should I have faith my concerns will be addressed? That’s for you to decide. What I can do is provide as much information as possible and as it becomes available, so that you can make an informed choice and provide us your feedback. Contrary to what’s been presented in this thread, we are listening, and we’re super eager to hear what you have to say. In particular, we are ever grateful to those who have taken the time to productively and constructively present their concerns or ideas, and we encourage you to continue doing so. I promise it’s not going into the void! | ||
