Hi Beta Today believers. I missed the Depths of Duplicity beta. So I don't know. Will there be a live stream or will the beta be released directly?

I have no clue, but here’s hoping that it’s today.

If I may ask, what does that mean in this context? Are you talking about spools?

Grizzly tales.

Trust me that I want the beta as much as the next guy, but why are we acting like animals that haven’t been fed in days for something that will show up either way?

I’ll admit it, this may just be a meme that I don’t get.

It's just fun to amp up the hype all the way into just plain being silly. 

I mean, AHhhh chant the ancient incantation fellow believers! BeTA toDay!

Klei actually has a big sign in the office that says "___ More 'Beta Today' Comments Remaining" and the number counts down everytime someone comments that. When it hits 0, they release the beta. 

This is unironically a decent measure of when the community is truly hungry for more content. I choose to believe this true and will do my part. Beta today?

I cannot, but that doesn’t mean that is the reason we get closer. It’s correlation without causation.

When you've finished flushing the joke down the toilet can you wash your hands please?

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that to be rude. That said, I understand your concerns.

I hope the beta releases today and it quells all of the rage-baiting that's been happening.

[Castiliano]

bro, the last real update that came out for this game was supposed to be released in mid-December from last year
and here we are in mid-May, five months later waiting and waiting for something new


Sad;;

[BrixGoBrrr]

i love this thread, pocket dimension of endless hype and hope 

[Well-met]

i'm not feeling it, I don't think it's for tonight

[Mike23Ua]

I hate to be the bringer of death & disappointment, but if JoeW (or whoever..) has not yet announced that “Beta Coming Next Week” then there obviously will not be Beta Today.

Klei doesn't want you to know this, but every time someone asks "Beta today?", it gets postponed to next Thursday.

Number of times someone made this joke is in triple digits now...

I just hope the 3 skill trees will be more thought upon with more consideration (Im looking at you wendy/wolfgang/wilson=but then again he was the first skill tree ''prototype'') Its only my opinion though.

I think Wendy's was really good :P

Wilson's is kinda underrated; I think the issue is that doesn't provide a bunch of fun alternative playstyles/unique objectives. However I do think it has good merit. I think it's main issue, is the same issue Wolfgang has, which is a bunch of stacking effects, rather than option paths. I think skill paths, if they are gonna kinda "stack" should essentially boost the effect, but in creative ways.

Good example of what that's like is Wortox's Lifted Spirit's skill path, where the one increases soul echo duration, but the next upgrade grants an additional soul echo hop, rather than just another increase to soul echo duration a second time.

Hopefully at least a "hey it's coming in around this amount of time" or anything

It's just a joke, for moral peace of mind. It's also a "Hype Train", so to speak. Don't take this seriously

This too

Me personally I would've liked for both graveyard stuff and team-up skills to be removed and added to the base kit so we could have more skills in their stead(which makes more sense really) I feel like skill trees as an essence should be about choosing on how to play the character. The perfect example for that is, you guessed it! Wortox. Like it should be about offering at least two ways to play the character, not just giving bonuses and calling it a day. 

[Johnny_Waffles]

Beta, you there?

[Tushonka]

Beta is sleeping

The healing boost is absolute garbage too. Useless in most situations. Even if you're in a large party, just farm more souls. You need a lot to teleport people anyways. Really hurts how many viable builds you can work with him. Klei did my boy dirty.

Gotta be honest, no beta = me sad…
