LF a Game in Open Beta

RollieJoeRollieJoe Member UncommonPosts: 451
in LFGame

Hello, I'm looking for a game that is in open beta and that will not be F2P when it releases.  By open beta I mean I can play right now (after possibly registering/downloading/installing) not that you can submit an application and maybe get accepted to beta sometime later.

Also, not Mortal Online.

So to recap, I'm looking for a game that is:

1) in open beta that I can play right now

2) not going to be free to play/item shop based when it releases

3) is not mortal online

 

Thanks for reading and I really appreciate any suggestions!

    Um have you tried fantasy earth zero??? I ts in open beta just register and download it only has one race avialabe (i thnk 2 or 3 more able to come out later with the full realease) also have 3 availabe classes for the human. But they have a unique battle system. It also has a nice in depth story line with different roles from a faction you chose to join in the begining, and it has a good player base online... so i would suggest to you fantasy earth zero :) hope this helped

    I appreciate the reply, however Fantasy Earth Zero is going to be free to play/item shop based on release, and so doesn't meet what I'm looking for.

    Anyone else with some suggestions?

    Did some more digging on my own, couldn't find anything.  Still open for advice!

    Daily update: Still looking!

    Why not apply for closed beta?  I mean, ultimately, what are your motives in wanting to beta test? To get your hands on a game before anyone else?  Play something different?  Or do you actually want to beta test and help find bugs, flaws, and issues in an effort to help the future customers?  If the former, please don't.  Beta testers treating the tests as "free trials" are one of the many reasons games release with so many bugs.  If the latter, then make the effort to apply for closed betas and do the community some good.

    There isn't any. Check back in few months.

    @zeowyrm - I've applied to probably a dozen closed betas over the past couple months, haven't gotten in to any.  I did manage to get a EU code for the APB closed beta, only to download the 8 GB's of client, install, setup my account, then find out there is only 2 hours max of beta testing per week (actually probably more like 1 hour of actual playtesting taking all things into account) and that the 1-2 hours of beta testing per week only occurs at a very specific time which if you are at work/school/asleep means 0 hours per week of playtesting.  Open beta is supposedly coming soon, but its an MMO, so "soon" means anytime between 1 week and 1 year.

     

    @hyanmen - Actually, looks like you are 100% right :-/

    So, what you're saying is, you just want to be one of the first to play a game then?  Because if you truly wanted to beta test, the 2 hour per week stuff shouldn't bother you.  I'm also guessing this based on your not answering the question in my initial post.

    You can't blame the guy, many people use open or even closed betas as a means of obtaining valuable information about a game for when it launches they have a head-start in what to do and where to go.  

     

    Any game I get interested in I'd love to get into beta, one of the biggest reasons why is because of the knowledge advantage I'd have come launch.  Take Starcraft 2 for example, I'm in beta and of course playing it now will only make me a better player come release day.

    Ok, soapbox time.

    I can blame him actualy, just as I can blame you.  I blame anyone who beta tests a game without the intent of truly beta testing it.  People constantly bitch and moan about how games are released as buggy messes, and yes, sometimes (in fact most of the time) that is the fault of the developers/publishers.  But it also part of the horde of "me first!" players who simply want to play the game and not report bugs, look for exploits, and all around try to fix the game before launch.  The worst offenders are the ones who beta test a game, then have the nerve to bitch about bugs that they never reported in the beta.

    Ok, time for me to get off my soapbox and report myself for derailing a thread.

    Did I say it was the ONLY reason I play a beta? No, and if you're sitting there telling me that while you're testing you don't also pay attention to things you may find helpful come launch I'm the only honest one out of the two of us.  It's human nature, there is no hiding from the fact every tester is the same.  Yes some play just to play, but in the end even those really testing and looking for bugs pick up the same helpful information.

     

    As for the release of shitty, buggy games... that's all on the developer.  I promise you most developers know the flaws in a game before it launches.  You gotta remember these MMO's of late are pushed out the door like babies that come out a month early.  Don't blame shit games on the beta testers no doing their job.

    To be honest, I don't beta test.  My opinions (yes, I'm not stating that what I'm saying is facts) are derived from observations I have made.  And yes, I will continue to blame buggy games on beta testers IN ADDITION to the developers.  Thinking the argument is one sided is just folly.

     you cant really blame anyone because on top of the playing the devs are also stress testing the servers and they should also be making it as easy as possible to report said bugs/glitches without having to drop the client go to forum remember what exactly happened and where yadyadayada

    you can sing up for black prophecy and they accept all the testers when the beta starts.

  • RollieJoeRollieJoe Member UncommonPosts: 451

    Ignoring all the off topic stuff (opinions are like a%*holes, everybody's got one and I don't care about yours), it seems the bottom line is that Craft of Gods is currently the only pay to play MMO with an open beta.  So at least that came of this thread, I'm DL'ing it as I type.

     

    Any others out there that no one has mentioned?
