What’s that, you say? Alpha will be anytime between now and midnight of the 4th, you say? Excellent 
looks awesome, can’t wait to go forcewave crazy with my shield!
Thanks for the update! 
Now I really want to try that alpha…RaaaAAAaargh, I can’t wait anymore! “be patient Xss, be patient!”
I was wondering, does Zolhan’s Technique also do the average damages of your weapon to all the enemies it hits?
YES! The Soldier definitely the class I am playing. Love the skills and icons, gosh i cant wait to play the alpha,
Edit just read Zantai post , there still hope for the alpha release! sweet
The Soldier Class will be my bread and butter class, i love the close up melee classes, my favorite!
Awesome update, im so happy this game is appearing to be the REAL DIABLO 3
Hmm, I don’t usually go commando, I prefer some support down there, but that does sound tempting.
Great update. It’s great to see these mastery skills out in the wild.
These brave souls are helping us knock out some of the remaining critical issues that [b]must be addressed before Alpha can begin.
To hold you over in the meantime, we will begin a series of updates that will familiarize you with the three masteries available to you once Alpha begins.[/b]
Hmm this doesn’t sound too promising. If the second part on soldier class will be within 2 weeks, it means we’ll get alpha in june-july?
That aside, wonderful update about my favorite class. Always a pleasure to read these misadventures.
Zantai said this some posts later:
Another awesome update Zantai! Once again making my decision for first mastery a difficult one. Thanks for the update!
Okay I am a sucker for melee classes what can I say. Thank you for the update.
Soldier mastery looks interesting. I guess we have to see how it develops and performs in game. Thanx once again for the update!
Melee looks interesting so far. I hope the alpha is nearer than it sounds! Keep on with the good work.
Edit: I couldn’t resist: we need more videos or the alpha plz! 
Good. Keep them Comin’ !
I could see myself doing a Demolitionist/Soldier build. Would that be Commando or Outlander?
Demo/Soldier sounds like a Commando to me.
Thanks for the update Crate. Alpha is so close I can taste it, and it taste buttery.
Yeah, it is not Zantai’s job to release Alpha or not, that is Medierra’s job I think. Nice update, glad to have some sneak peak on the Soldier class.
Really nice update, I like this kind of preview
but…
Seeing as the Soldier preview isn’t done and as there will be 3 masteries in the beta does that mean we will have to wait at least 3 more updates (6 weeks) until we get to play the alpha or am I reeding too much into that sentence?
You’re reading to much into what Zantai is saying, as shown by his later post:
So he is just doing his usual Grim Dawn Misadventure postings which are separate from any alpha announcement.
I haven’t seen medierra’s name on the who’s online list today. Probably reading to much into that.
Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you!
I live in my (mom’s) basement. Surrounded by beartraps. The guvment’s out to get me, I say!
