JoeW 34402 Report post Posted October 27, 2017 Hey everybody, First, a big thanks to everybody who has participated in the beta so far. Quite frankly, the response has been amazing and we’re thrilled that so many of you have been having a great time and sending us helpful feedback, suggestions and ideas. As noted previously "We will be providing items to players in the beta once The Forge goes live depending on how long you spent playing the beta". While we are still fine tuning the WXP system, the encounters and the rate of progression for the launch version of The Forge, we are satisfied that The Forge is pretty close to where we want it to be and we can announce what we will be doing for beta players. When The Forge officially launches we will be providing beta testers 1 Forge chest per level that they obtained during the beta period and will keep the level earned during The Forge Beta. In addition, all beta players will also receive a special portrait background only available to beta participants. The Forge Beta closes Monday (Pacific Time), so you have a couple more days to earn those chests before we launch in November. Once again, thanks for all the great feedback. Have fun out there! 30 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ashkain 1029 Report post Posted October 28, 2017 Awesome! Thanks for the info and for giving us this opportunity, it's been one of the most solid betas I've ever participated in, and since we're keeping our levels, feels more like a head start then a beta Thanks to everyone at Klei for making one banging' update and I can't wait for its official release. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinister_Fang 9343 Report post Posted October 28, 2017 I gotta say, I'm pretty surprised how well the servers kept up. I was honestly expecting the usual day 1 server problems, but I saw very little issue with them. Fingers crossed that the same goes for the live release. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went into this expecting little to nothing, and you're giving that much back? That's awesome! 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fimmatek 4221 Report post Posted October 28, 2017 Thanks JoeW, I also didn't expect that! I'm glad the beta went/goes so well (and... just a question... a loyal firepit? maybe? or a torch?... or, well, at least something loyally common, even if as a surprice?...)

minespatch 79827 Report post Posted October 28, 2017 Hey! As long a this means future events like this one, I'm for more brawling and lore! It's a nice seperate world from the main game, and the mechanics are simpler that the map for the Forge is small enough that it's fast to load. That's something I'm grateful for. Thanks for keeping up the good work, Klei. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thistownneedsguns 154 Report post Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) can you tell whats the highest level reached atm? Edited October 28, 2017 by thistownneedsguns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamscape18459 261 Report post Posted October 28, 2017 I think clwnbaby has the highest level. (He was around 57 on a stream last night.) A lot of Strictly Unprofessional regulars have been playing a lot of the Forge beta this week and trying to break the game. (Trying to get to Winter, doing 5-6 of the same character runs, etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does not include item skins, portrait background, emotes or emoticons. Although you do get the fistshake emote for owning a complete Forge character skin. 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So we are sticking with the fist shake emote as a reward for set completion? I thought this was just a placeholder. It's really not a very interesting reward, maybe we can at least make chicken dance as the special reward? Will be same quality of reward but at least feels better ;p (also I'm still hoping we'll get to buy boxes later on, as long as they are cheap they'd bring more money and be more thrilling for some people) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jynn 640 Report post Posted October 28, 2017 my thoughts are that if i buy the full set, not only am i supporting the developers but i can then unravel duplicates to craft the things you can't buy that i want and might not get out of chests =D 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
