Sigh, It's just Alpha, everyone should have know there's a chance you wouldn't have gotten in!

Idc if it was people that was active or not! I am an Active player (that paid to the very end!) and you don't see me having a tantrum fit like a toddler! Cry me a River! ( trying to hard to not put in curse words as I type because I feel like doing it! Ya'll will get your chance soon enough!

Work...ing... on.. it...

WAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

It would have been nice if SE told everyone what they where looking for though. Like:

"Hey Everyone,

We are pleased announce the first wave of Alpha invites! We know everyone is excited to get in but we only have limited seating, rest assured we will increase the pool as time and success goes on.

The current test group was chosen by putting players into X groups, we dont want you cuz you evil, your computer is hawt, your computer is not, you can play any time all the time, enthusiastic/experienced and or crazy forum posters. We took Y Z groups divided them and then randomly picked from them.

If you didnt get in there will be many opportunities in the future as we increase the player pool for testing, we hope to get everyone in for beta so please look forward to it!

" <--- Key point is they say how they chose people so there isn't some kind of magican whipping bunnies out of his ass and everyone is going WUT?!


Something like that but better written I think could have stopped a lot of "SE is Satan's minion".

And if they had done that then EVERYONE would have "met the requirements" even if some had to lie about them. I dont remember if it took a system scan and uploaded your specs to them or not, if there was then that would be the only way to keep applications legitimate. Random within certain categories is the best way to go and no matter what, someone will be left out and that someone will not be happy.

They recorded your system specs. Also they had a questioner and can use forum / game data to decide. I assume they put preference to past alpha testers as well. I'm fairly certain they at least made 3 groups.

Someone will always be mad but with transparency less would be so.

That is what SE did, but they didn't make things public... what it seems to me they did was classify all applicants in to group A,B,C,D.... depending on the application answers.... and then they picked X amount of people from each group and made a wave... for future alpha they will do the same except people who are in this one can't be in any future alpha's (guessing here)...

I'm pretty sure you carry through each phase of alpha - but the invite doesnt count towards beta.

I am not sure about that, but i may be wrong!

That makes little to no sense because everyone would have the same answers.As for the criteria to get in who knows,but most Alpha/Beta tests try and mix testers by things like what kinda of interent provider say Verizion,Comcast or whatever and things like hardware or location.

You make little to no sense (:O, now you say your mom makes little to no sense.. lol). Obviously they cant tell you how they chose a testing group without choosing the testing group which means its too late to rig your app. Also they do not have to maintain choosing parameters through each phase. (Or that people already rigged their app so it doesn't matter).

Not only that but some of the things might just be arbitrary or not fake-able like being in the past Alpha (1.0).
