So.. ah.. Who's in Beta?

Random_mageRandom_mage Member UncommonPosts: 1,093
in Darkfall

Come on guys.. I want this game to come out and I want it to work..

But lets look at the facts:

1. No leaked beta info.  I know it's not a US game, and maybe if you leak a beta you get murdered or something, but .. well people push limits.

2.  Who's actually going to be carrying this game?  Darkfall hasn't authorized any pre-orders.   Find me one other game that's supposed to release this year that can't be pre-ordered. 

3. Supposedly feature complete, but didn't show all that many features in the video.  I know it's a PvP game, that's the main focus, but don't say you have more features but only show 1 or 3...

4. Nobody in beta.  Well, no one talking about it.  One thing the PvP community is known for is cheating.  Anything to gain an advantage of the opponent is good.  Duping, super jumping, teleporting.. anything.  With the lack of Beta information means .. even if they start an open beta (and by open, I mean upping the beta to 20k people) enough to break it and cheat.. no everything or anything possible.  Well, 3 months isn't enough time. 

I'm not a "this is vaporware" kind of guy, I'm just looking at the facts.  I think The Darkfall Team made a mistake by saying it's releasing this year (to build hype).. They should have just announced when they started open beta.  Until then, Darkfall is just a dream that.. well.. won't be out this year.

 

And FLAME ON, as I know the unrealistic DARKFALL ground will jump on how much info is out there.. and How I'm completely full of it.. But.. eh..

    no. that is a friends and family beta if its only 50 people.

    they need a couple thousand for a proper closed beta. ^^

    As far as I have understood it:

    There is a closed Beta since 2007, done by paid Beta testers (and probably some friends and family as well, but I'm not sure about that). I don't think professional Beta testers will risk leaking.

    Since the 26th Aventurine is recruiting people for hardware spec testing. I have no idea if these people actually play the game, or if  they get fed some programs they have to run to see what machines can handle Darkfall.

    I have seen some posts here and there that gave a slight hint. The amount of people that are in there at this time is probably very small, and I'm guessing they don't want to risk being bounced once the Open Beta starts...

    Just my 2cts ofcourse :)

    We don't really care if you believe it's coming out or not. And beta is not for testing to these guys which you would know if you'd been following the game. Beta will do two things, hardware config as has already been stated and stress testing. Not balancing, not exploit fixing, not any of the normal crap. Just because the game isn't following the same methods as the rest doesn't mean there's something wrong with it.

    Beta isn't for testing? Really? Wow how did this small company discover something incredible about software development that no other company can accomplish? Honestly your naivety is amazing. Not to fix bugs or exploits? Not to balance? They have magically rooted out ALL of these possible problems on a huge game with no one playing it? Amazing.

    No no your right, just because they aren't following the same methods doesn't mean there is something wrong with it, nothing wrong with being in development for 7 years with a beta promised 4 years ago, and still very little to show for it.

  • OriphusOriphus Member UncommonPosts: 467

    From what i read into their last post....this is not a stress test..or bug find, its a sytems compatibility check, they dont need all that many from that, just select a wide range of dif specs that cover the average of the masses.

    For now, for the hardware config test, I would guess that there are very few people that has been invited mabye as low as 20 or so.. so I would not presume they will risk getting kicked from the beta just to tell you (would not be very hard to finger down who leaked)

    who the hell cares about NDA?

    If I would be in beta now i wouldn't have time to look on forums and post a review

    I would just tell you to calm down. Relax. If it comes out on time....hurah, if it never comes out....then there's less stuff for us to complain about.

    do not say NDA - it's a violation of the NDA!

     

    And some people from MMORPG just rescently won the right to become betatester. That information is public, and thus cannot be a violation of the NDA.

    Well obviously I didn’t think anyone would believe me, but the actual truth is - yes I am in the "beta" and yes, the "beta" is not an actual beta; it’s more like a small open space where we test inventory, movement and stuff... We are only about 40 testers in it...
