Hey all,
Snippets of information for the release version of the game is getting announced. OnRPG.com is the first to report some of the new features:

Will update the post as we find out more.
Latest Updates:
The Scion seems interesting. The new class is reported to be playable once you beat Normal Act 3. Its home will be in the center of the skill tree, allowing you to potentially reach opposite skill nodes faster. The Scion also has a neat skill that allows you to throw a copy of her weapon at range, meaning you can use your melee weapon to damage enemies from afar.
Glad to hear about Guild Systems. We could possibly get a Lurker Lounge shared stash going :)
Can't wait to find out more. Seems they've packed a lot into this patch.
