Just signed up yesterday. Good luck everyone.

dragonhawk · 02-01-2004, 10:35 AM

Signed up today.

Could be cool.

For some reason, that little program that detects your settings didnt work and I had to manually enter in stuff. Hopefully Blizz won't disqualify me cause I know in the past, they've had people lie about system specs.

By "noone" I assume you mean "Anyone" There is a thing called a FAQ to read, there are things to do. And ANYONE that signs up for a beta SHOULD KNOW.. that not everything is going to be complete. Thats why its called BETA and not DEMO. We're not signing up to play a game for free thats not complete... We're signing up to help the game get complete and be one sweet game. Playing it will be fun, but knowing I did my part to make the game Grade A material is why I beta test.

Cute, very naive as well. That's what they're supposed to do, but they don't do it.

A FAQ is a long piece of paper which said tards typically do not read, and a beta is a process they don't fully understand. I believe you have some experience in this department (not reading/understanding), because had you understood my point you'd have refrained from insulting my intelligence and posting your redundant bit (I know what they're supposed to do, they don't do it. Hence I don't like them, and express my opinion on their ugly faces).

Having beta'd dozens of products myself I can say with certainty people will not work, rather they will play. And bitch about it not being fun. To think people sign up to work rather then play a free game is crazy, and you can tell by the sheer amount of irresponsible assholes exploiting bugs rather then reporting them, people that PK others that are testing gameplay, and those who take over an entire spawn of creatures so they can level faster.

If you're going to talk to me, please pretend like you have a shred of decency. I'm going to expect not to see any personal attacks the next time you speak up.

GakFace · 02-01-2004, 10:34 PM

Personal Attack?!? No, I merely pointed out that you classified ALL people not SOME people.. or even MOST people. By this, you already had put forth a personal attack upon me and everyone else on TFP that had signed up for this Beta. Down below is what you said. Please point out to me where you said only SOME people are going to act in such a way. By classifying all of them, I did not attack you by saying how much you put forth into Human Intelligence. As I didn't call you stupid, I said that you called everyone stupid. Before you talk about personal attacks, why not try re-reading your own posts first.

dragon2fire · 02-01-2004, 10:50 PM

omg your funny /sarcasm

No, it's not meant as a blanket statement, I felt it was obvious but I'll spell it out. To clarify, about 95% of testers don't know what they're doing, or know what they're supposed to do and don't do it anyways. As a majority, one can typically refer to them as beta testers in general rather then a specific minor sect of the whole group.

I know what I said, and it's true. Perhaps you'd better clarify your post because it sure as fuck sounds like you're insulting me.

i deny your claim of 95 %

prove it

Phaenx · 02-02-2004, 08:11 AM

That's an estimate based on first hand experience beta'ing 30+ products, conversing with developers/designers and being abreast with the mmorpg community since its start.

Every time.

nothingx · 02-05-2004, 02:11 PM

So, it seems that the beta signup period ended yesterday... I'm just curious if anyone here was accepted. If you were, you should let us know, so we can envy you.

Plan9Senior · 02-05-2004, 04:01 PM

They haven't started the selections yet, and depending on what the NDA says, the beta users might not be able to even say they are testing.

Yes, Phaenx, this is why you were the first one needing to clarify your post.. read your own msgs please.. because I do believe your post sounded like you were offending me... as I do believe I already stated.

Hrmmm.. my beta testing experience states otherwise. Yes there seems to be a large amount, but of course.. the ones actually doing the testing aren't heard from, as they're too busy testing than complaining. Also some people dont' state the bugs they've found because they read up and notice that its already been stated.. thus they look like they aren't testing, even though they are. Some further, still test, except they merely tell the guy who does the most, as his tend to get read more often. So really, I think 95% is wrong. A 'most' blanket statement, I might be willing to accept.. maybe 60% I would think about.. but 95% is most definately not in the cases I have seen.

Blizzard had better not disapoint. This is one game that I have been looking forward to since it was announced.

Panzer_IV · 02-09-2004, 05:14 PM

Hi,
Just to let everyone know, there will be an open beta about a week or two before it goes retail where everyone can sign up and play (this has been confirmed by Blizzard). Blizzard also stated that the ballpark figure for valid beta entries was about 275,000 entries from total (including Korea, US, and Canada) which is a much lower number than expected. This means chances are good!
Thanks,
Manga
