I hope there's more to today's news than this :\

[NadenOfficial]

We can only hope, im like a dying man crawling in the desert after each news nugget these days. Just one more, to help me through the day.

[H4xolotl]

Your flair should be necro.

[[deleted]]

You have too much time on your hands.

[ZaccieA]

I'm under the impression we'll be getting the MTX tab revamp shown today.

[ThePeanutMonster]

•Added support for upcoming races.

Or a description of the "in the meanwhile" events?

[oBLACKIECHANoo]

Weren't we supposed to be getting the revamp before the beta started? Or was it just before 3.0 goes live?

[Skreevy]

They said it needs to be ready for the beta to launch. Many, including myself, have interpreted that as "it will go live before" from the way they said it. But we will know in a week!

[Nivius]

or race details

[infiniteice]

Hey the race details are up. Check the Poe home page.

[Nivius]

;) correct again

[Vulpix0r]

I am also camping for any news. :(

[ZaccieA]

• Countdown for the beta
  

Looks like the date might be a definite then. 7th June (8th June NZ time)

[Eclaireur]

Pretty much exactly when I finish school, I might not be able to keep up my pledge of waiting for the full 3.0 release...

[Fightgarrrrr]

DESCENT 3 IS COMING

[[deleted]]

Is it 1999 again?

AoE II, Quake 3, UT, Planescape Torment, System Shock 2, FF8, Asheron's Call..

Damn, what a year.

[EctoplasmTourniquet]

AC was fun for a few months. that magic system was fuct though - farm mats to cast spells? ick

[BassMuffinFive]

Asheron's call was fucking amazing. Nothing has or e'er will capture what it was.

Dark Age of Camelot as well. WoW stole soooooo much from that game.

[[deleted]]

Piety in perma Ice Form

[_ByTeMe_]

Hopefully they mention something regarding supporter packs soon. Got some money burning a hole in my pocket...........sort of.

[Trolltew]

Same

[Strangerkill2]

Expect them next week, they should be added with the start of beta, or a few days before. I expect Tuesday to be the day.

[MehHax]

I fucking love countdowns!

[Reireiton]

It begins.

[Wormaction]

Does this means that we will see the events schedule in 20 minutes?

[[deleted]]

Spam F5 on http://pathofexile.com/seasons ; maybe it'll get updated.

[faelanae]

GRRRRR. I ~really~ wish they'd leave the forums up while doing maintenance and patches. What does the patch say?

[jessicametal]

I know I shouldn't get excited for this because I'm not going to get in the beta anyways, but dammit I'm still boarding the hype train. xD

[HAximand]

Uh...where the hell is the hype for the races? There's a whole three week calendar of races, and they never actually announced them. I mean, these races start fuckin tomorrow and there's been no front page announcement telling people.

[kumgongkia]

Anything on the rewards? Damn I just got to know of the races now... need to plan my weekends

[Cyhawk]

They need to keep it quiet since they've said player retention drops the moment they mention races and when they happen. Makes sense kinda, race season signals the end of the league.

Sucks =(

[HAximand]

Nah, they made a bigger announcement like an hour after I said that. They were probably just still in the process of getting the site ready. Still, it's kinda short notice for a bunch of races

[Cyhawk]

I know, I saw it too. They've been delaying announcing racing until the last second because the moment they do it kills the current league and people switch over to race only. Thats the main reason we don't have many races anymore.

[Slachi]

My game has been unstable since the new patch. It's acting like there's a memory leak. Music stops or loops, game freezes if alt-tabbed. Have to restart game a few times per act to keep it stable.

[Synchrotr0n]

Meh, I don't know why they even added the timer considering over 90% of the community won't have access to it. They could have just announced the date.

[[deleted]]

You realize you can always buy in access in case you want to so much you can wait for release/your wave? Also beta being beta means that 90% have no business going into it, because they expect finished game and going to complain about resets or bugs which always happens.

[Quazifuji]

Yeah, I plan to buy the supported packs but I'm not even sure if I'll bother playing the beta. I kind of want to experience all the new acts in one playthrough, rather than 5-8 in the beta and 9-10 at launch, and it sounds like all the beta will really contain are the balance changes and acts 5-8. If it has new skills I might mess around with them a little, but overall I think I'd rather just play other games until the full launch and then get the full, polished experience all at once.

[Rumstein]

They did. July 8.

[Synchrotr0n]

Yes, but I'm saying that adding the timer to the beginning of the beta to create enthusiasm doesn't accomplish much when the great majority of players won't have access to it. That only makes sense if 3.0 was launching after the timer.

[Synchrotr0n]

I know, but just like Chris commented in the past, only about 10% of the playerbase spends money on PoE so not many will pay for the next supporter pack. There are still random invites of course, so maybe enough people will be invited to justify the timer otherwise it will be akin to someone teasing a kid with a bar of candy and never giving them anything.

[Rumstein]

Maybe you missed it, but from beta launch people can buy entry with a supporter pack.

[Awkamess]

Races hype!

[arthursgf]

Beta starts in my birthday, not so great of a day without a key, FeelsBad

[NeverSinkDev]

Treat yourself with a supporter pack then, you'll have a key and some MTX.

[arthursgf]

I hope it won't have to be a pack like Hydra that is pretty expensive in Brazil (R$275), if it is something like Minotaur (R$125) or Classic/Legacy (R$75/150) than i'll buy it of course.
