keep playing or wait for launch?

[ilyrad]

I played a good bit and like the game a lot, but I hit areas I couldn't enter due to the game being early access and I don't want to ruin the game when we are close to launch and I don't even know if my early access save will work after it is launched as they are adding so much content in.....thoughts? I think I may make a new save after it launches and just wait it out at this point but I don't know what others are planning.

I bought the game when it was first available to purchase. Played a few hours and then immediately stopped because each update would basically brick current saves but I also didn't want to burn out on it. So I have been patiently waiting until release day which is when I will start a whole new character and do a solid beginning to end playthrough.

I've played a fair bit but will likely wait for full release since I get burned out on replay quickly. I blame my ADHD. It's been said that there will be extra content in Act 1 to help with that though.

I have only played a few hours of the beginning, I'm waiting for the final release so I can dive in to the full game.

A new game start will be required for the full release.

Too much will be changed from the EA to carry over saves.

Ohh i'm waiting, have been since it went into EA.

When I play this game I intend to go all in with the full game experience.

Waiting it out.

Knowing the improvements that are coming, I really don't want to play this version of the game. It's second-rate.

Scratch that, it's more like fifth-rate.

The release version is going to be a barn-burner.

Bought it the other day and I'm just trying out different builds to decide what my first character will be on release.

It has been said many times your EA save will NOT work on launch. However as you already purchased the EA you get the upgrade and the 3 days early release, where your save WILL carry over to release day. So you will have to start again, but there are things added to Act 1 that are not there now, so you'll get to experience those. So win win.

Totally worth checking out the CC. I had hours of fun there.
