1.2 or 1.98?

[Bludbonez]

Will you be playing just 1.2 or 1.98? Or even both?
I personally will play both. As both have pros I like and both have a few cons as well.

Everyone will play 1.2. You have no choice if you want to play the next expansion in 2024 anyway.

Well said, even the more controversial things in 1.2 might initially get some complaining going on, 1.1.9.8 will die out slowly, almost everyone will eventually move to 1.2 by the time DLC release will be close.

Yeah sure, there will probably be some amount of people complaining about the new changes, but it will probably be way easier get used to them than juggling 2 versions of the game all the time.

We can look back at Skyrim to see that exactly this has happened, people swore that Skyrim LE is the only true Skyrim, when Skyrim SE released, but nowadays most people have moved to Skyrim SE (it's currently approximately 1:10 ratio), then the similar thing happened with Skyrim 1.6, where people swore they are never going to upgrade, because, surprise Skyrim 1.5 is the only true Skyrim, but based on stats related to popular mod downloads, over 50% already upgraded from 1.5.x to 1.6.x and it's slowly growing and older version once again slowly fades into oblivion.

Definitely 1.2. I have Light defender and Pyran builds planned, and they both get summon bursts in the patch,

1.2 because you dont need inventory space for health and energy potion, also it has i-frame move that you can use anytime.

Already on 1.2 and love the Sundered effects.
Too many improvements on 1.2 not to play this version.

Unfortunately for me Ill probably have both versions going. Because I love mods & updating to 1.2 is going to break alot of mods. I know the modders were asked what they want but how many mods are actually going to get updated?

You can play 1.2 before its actual release. Go here and follow the instructions: https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/public-testing-faq/109772 Once this is complete you will be able to play 1.2 after the upload is done. Enjoy!

1.2 of course.

I just created a new save slot for 1.2. When it goes live will be doing GD as a fresh new player with no bank/stash or characters. Excited about that.

I still don't know what sundered actually does. It really hasn't been noticeable. Even on caster builds I just act like the Russians and ignore it and power through. Even on HC it hasn't been a problem thus far.

That is a good way to approach it. It definitely works!
