I'd have a look for about an hour then wait until it's fully finished even if I get in. I want to play the finished product, not be fed up with the game before it's even finished.

No, you can't have my login if I do.

Wow, this is moving fast!

Watched the video on their site,was ok to watch.
"moving fast" well these type of games have literally no content,they are shallow beatem up type games,that is why they are going for this yet again,low risk,low cost and fast to market.


Now in saying this is going to be more same old crap,i see potential and it bothers me a lot that devs won't go that extra mile to make something grand.I see really nice animations,models,i see fun stuff,but i see NO GAME.

I need to see devs take the hard work that they do accomplish and COMPLETE a AAA game,quit trying to sell me single A gaming,ARPG;'s are single A gaming,fun for a week.

LFG LFG LFG!!!

I bet you're a really positive and cheerful person in real life and like to roleplay this dark persona online in private.

Personally, I've clocked in about 1000+ hrs in Diablo 3, 1000+ in PoE, 200+ in Torchlight 2, 500+ in Grim Dawn. They might only be fun for a week to you.. but to real fans of the genre they are games that we'll keep playing and going back to over the next 10 years.

Greatest thing about TL2 is Mods, im hoping that TL frontiers has some semblance of mods even if its akin to tennogen from warframe... usermade content that u pay for.
Mods ampped up the replayablity for TL2 10 fold.
I also hope the Multiplayer aspect is much more refined as on TL2 if u played with friends one person always took 5 mins to enter a map if they went in first (CPU problem only utilising 1 core) was a cumbersome feature/bug.

Wait you mean testers are actually being selected on merit (or randomly?), and not how many $$$$ they have thrown at a Super Ultimate Rip Off Edition pre-order... the madness

This is hilarious as I am willing to bet ARPG's have logged more hours of play than most MMO's in their entire life cycle. Just because you do not like them doesn't mean they are not AAA games.

You should not even ask to be a tester if that is your plan. You basically screw someone else out of a spot if you do get in that might actually you know test the game. I understand you logic behind it but it doesn't help the game or the devs to do that.

I knew someone would say this

If they need more active testers they will invite more. The end.

Blizzard had a golden opportunity to show the world who the real A-RPG king is and they wasted it. I still cannot believe what happened at Blizzcon.

It's not the end.  No they normally don't invite more till the next round of testing, which normally is to look at something different in an alpha.  So you basically say that you want to play the game, not test it in what you are saying.  So why not wait for it to launch?  What if every tester invited had your attitude?  Nothing would get tested, then you would complain at launch why isn't this fixed, well you would have contributed to things not getting fixed.  That's an issue.  Hell I will be honest I miss the old days of testing where the average person didn't stand a chance of getting in and you couldn't buy your way in either.   The end!

All devs know full well that the retention rate for testers who are invited is not 100%. It is well known within the industry. They invite way more than they need for each phase. If they don't, well, they aren't very good at their jobs.

Try not to dwell on this, it will only make you feel bad.

Good luck all of us who singed up!
