Announcements - How the Closed Beta is going so far - Forum

Jeeesus how the hell can people complain this much? It is absolutely INSANE.	Posted by fatmechanic on Apr 22, 2015, 2:08:55 AM Quote this Post
Sad that those of us who have actively played the game with well over 800 hours, and supported the game multiple times have not received a beta key automatically, I'm usually not about entitlements, however I do feel the sting. Where's the love..	Posted by NefariousNoetic on Apr 22, 2015, 2:10:02 AM Quote this Post
" Cosma wrote: Sure there is metrics, you are right. But how useful is metrics for GGG? They need to adress: 1. bugs 2. crashes 3. skill issues 4. and mob/boss/skill balance If you have 12 people fucking dying on the beach - that means you have 12 people who shouldnt even be in the beta tbh. If this was Closed beta for PoE release I would be more understanding. But where I come from (after years of playing) this makes no sense. Those metrics I mentioned (and others I didn't) will address the 4 points you brought up. And believe it or not, those 12 people dying on the beach already potentially provides important information for GGG regarding the re-balancing of monster difficulty in Normal. Remember, when A4 goes live in June there's going to be a plethora of new players coming to the game. That's why it's important to gather data from brand new players as well. A4's not just for vets, it's an opportunity to bring an entirely new population to the game. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

And please explain to me why you think a player that NEVER posted one single post on the forum nor played through the game with ANY character on even normal would ever care to put countless hours and input to the beta. Cause that is what you need - ACTIVE players that give you FEEDBACK. There is a reason why you normally apply for a beta and get selected. Sorry, but this is nothing more than just a hype trick. You dont need to be a rocket scientist to see through it. I guess new player will see basical things whereas experiencied gamer doesn't care about it (experienced gamer can pass normal extremely quickly only thinking about his level 80+). I think too there isn't only game balance to consider and new vision of the game is needed to add some good contents.	Posted by Mavrelien on Apr 22, 2015, 2:10:49 AM Quote this Post

As he said, main purpose of this early CB stage is to eliminate crashes - and crashes dont need any active feedback by the players, they 'report' theirself just by happening. And I can assume, that very unexperienced players, which probably do a lot more clicking here and there and everywhere just to try and understand things (we veterans "think" to know), can cause significantly more of this unexpected crash situations... invited by timer @ 10.12.2011 -- deutsche Community: www.exiled.eu & ts.exiled.eu	Posted by Mr_Cee on Apr 22, 2015, 2:11:03 AM Quote this Post
