Our feelings about Beta Invite complaints
" I meant if everyone was told they needed to have a recent log in to be eligible. It wouldn't take much effort at all for people to log in once to flag their account as "active". Just a thought. " Fair enough. |

Great to see your getting the support, plenty more of us with time on our hands to tackle some bug hunts. Now where did I put my coffee...

Chris,
I think it's VERY important to keep a good image of yourself as a game designer. You sir, have done that! I don't understand why so many developer's/moderators/even PR people for smaller games come off with an attitude and attack people. Your professionalism is top notch and for that I applaud you! In addition to that, it's well appreciated that you take the time to go out of your way and explain and reason with people. Unfortunately, when you have a large player base of people to communicate with, you will not be able to reason with them. The anonymity of the web make most people just whine until they get what they want now. Unfortunately again, those who are really begging for keys (and complaining on methods of distribution) to alleviate boredom are the same people who will finish the beta content now and leave out of boredom. Then, when they tell their friends about the game, they will say "lack of content". Not good for hype of the game, and not good for word of mouth!

Let's just get a bit serious for a moment,
Most companies in closed betas,they keep it secret.Most companies they lock threads down when they see a closed beta "cAN I haz Keyz Plox" thread.Most companies pick a handful of guys and that's it.You guys have been incredibly patience with us and even you take the time(Possibly on an already busy schedule) to write down an explanation on the matter. I sincerely hope Good luck to your beta,If I get the chance to get in,I will try my best to help..and Please Stay That Way Forever... P.S. Although the Beta Timer Is still evil. . . :P Last edited by verticalfire#7996 on Aug 15, 2011, 7:18:59 AM

Meh the whine is only because people REALLY want to play your game. Dont listen to everything people say, really. The timer was and is great and people who whine about it are just impatient douches. Either way, me and a lot of other people are fine with whatever way you choose to approach this situation.

" I whole heartily agree with you. For one Chris is doing an AMAZING job all round and still frequents the forums more than ive seen most devs EVER do, that alone says a lot! And i know that a large number of people with keys simply want to "demo" the game even as a Closed Beta (makes no sense half done without everything implementd yet, how accurate of a view is that gonna leave??) And then go and spew foulness about the game.. But what ever, i know we have plenty of GOOD testers out there that will do what is expected! Now all i want is a 24/7 stream up and running so i can forever trap my mind in the illusion of playing the game! hehe |
