2.0 beta?

[Yucie]

I wasn't stating I was the only one. I was stating I stuck through all the crap with this game. Does that sound entitled? You are damn right it does. Because, in my eyes, I am entitled. Like i said, I deserve it, and I better be in Beta, period.

I wasn't arguing with you or accusing you of anything. I was agreeing with you.
If Legacy players, or current players don't get into beta at all, it's a huge slap in the face.

Sorry if it seemed I was arguing with you Yucie, I was more arguing with SE. I would be very upset if I wasn't in Beta, and it would feel like a slap in the face.

All I can say, is I better have Beta Privledges. I have been here since day 1. I deserve it.

Cant agree with you more. loyalty could use a small reward.

You know it would be nice if they allowed all of us to join the beta. My main things is at first I was waiting for ps3 release because I was going to play the game mainly on my ps3 since i had a lousy comp but since i've upgraded my comp. I'm still going to buy the ps3 release so I have a copy of the gameand have it on my ps3 if i wanna play it. However, we've been entitled and given a lot of things because we've stuck with them. Would it be nice if they allowed all of us to join the beta? Yes, will they do it? We can't say for certain. We'll just have to see what happens when it happens.

I registered for both - PC/PS3, even if I'm on PC since the release - beta versions during the Japan Expo. I'd stake my house on beta keys given away at Gamescom too.

brb im dumb and forgot the fact the legacy was made to reward those who stuck around and i expect to get double treatment with beta too or ill get very angry

[Pandastirfry]

I get the distinct feeling that you will need to sign for the PS3 Beta, however, while I bet there will be sign ups for the PC Beta, everyone currently playing probably won't need to sign for the PC Beta.

I use as evidence, the Development road map, It shows that the 2.0 Client will be available and distributed a whole month prior to the start of the PS3 Beta.

Who gets in will largely depend on what they want to accomplish.

If they are testing hardware compatibility (new graphics engine, very possible) it will depend on the specs of your machine.

A lot of times testing things like the UI, balancing, etc. comes as a secondary goal in beta. you may find this a little odd, but while testing hardware you're testing this too. because it's something that will happen independent of machine specs it becomes a secondary criteria when selecting applicants. if you have experience beta testing, obviously you'll have an advantage.

the beta will likely be in phases. initial phase i'm guessing will be hardware compatibility. followed by server stress testing. the whole while they will be looking at testing out the new UI and some of the new systems. we aren't really revamping abilities (except crafting) so balancing will likely come in at a very low scale. unless they've changed the damage/enmity formulae, in which case balancing will come into play. but seeing how short the beta phase is. it's most likely server testing and hardware compatibility.

how long you've played is really irrelevant. I would love to see the people who stuck with it get rewarded. but that's what legacy was all about. you're getting a cheaper sub fee. a mount. and more character slots.

it's a really bad idea to look at it as 'I deserve to get in.' because, really, why? you've been loyal? Legacy takes care of that. You don't really deserve anything.

it should be more 'I am a great applicant because...' I've beta tested over 25 MMOs. Inclduing TSW, SWTOR, FFXIV, HGL, LOL, Aion, and Terra. Have great PC specs and know how to trouble shoot. I'm an active member of the community and help with troubleshooting wherever I can.

Unless SE still has our PC specs logged (and they probably don't) you will likely need to sign up.

Agreed. I very rarely feel entitled to anything but at the very least legacy members should enter automatically. I have enough confidence that SE are right in there mind and they will do it.

I dont think so.

Why would SE give Beta-Access to all the Legacy Member? They want people for Beta which find Bugs, report them, have an keen eye for bug-finding etc etc. You will be able to register at a certain point, but giving all Legacy-Member straight Beta-Access while at least half of them just want to play, instead of finding bugs, is ridiculous.
