Alpha testers in to phase 1 beta?

[AmandaHuggenkiss]

Solace, just because of that, I'm going to be sure to be happy, go fun, lucky run around with my friends and then e-peen them all over this forum as soon as the NDA is lifted.

BETA BETA YEAH YEAH YEAH BETA WHOOO HOO! What's a test? I'm gonna fall off this cliff now.

omg... testing fall damage is going to be so hilarious.

You got the idea! <3

9/10 will say they will report bugs
1/10 actually will

every time i was going to report a bug someone else found it so ya i never find any bug that no one else have found yet.

At least someone here sees what I would like to avoid.
Others are just to use to acting like 12 year olds..

Saddens me there are so many people around here who back up the trolls and the children, who post nothing but moronic things..
You try to make a valid point and all you get is... Garbage...
Making a mockery of the beta process and leaving us with games like FFXIV.
If half of you beta testers had done your JOB in FFXIV , maybe we wouldn't of ended up with the garbage we got..

FFS, all I'm saying is.. If you don't care about the game enough to work on it.. Don't sign up..
And the response I get is "opmg omg ballh waaaa argg omg omg jump off lciffs omg" wow.. pathetic..
12 year olds running around here..

I wasn't in alpha so have no idea what the test forums contained but to be honest I think that the "lack of input from the community in XIV 1.0 beta" was more like "lack of listening from the producer was in charge at the time".

1.0 beta was openly crappy but they pushed it out anyway with minimal fixes and no huge changes from beta.

I am kind of glad they did, as we wouldn't have the new devoted dev team reworking the whole game today if that didn't happen.

Due to the NDA, even those with an idea can't say a word.

To those of you who do get in.
You better actually play and you better actually report bugs and send in real, solid feedback.
That BS we ended up with in 14......
Can't help but make me think there were a lot of testers, that just did not want to to do their "JOB" remember that.
This is a job. Not a happy, go fun, lucky run around, with your friends, sharing e-peen stories about how you got into beta..
Find the problems, fix the problems, or FFS do NOT sign up for the beta.
There are people who are actually willing to do WORK to help make this game great..
If you are not.. Do NOT sign up..
All this legacy E-peening going around, makes me think a lot of you just want to jump into the server day one and act like you did something.

Believe me there were plenty of complaints from the first week of 1.0 alpha... why SE went back and looked at them when making ARR.

"What is your intention of joining the beta test?"

Usual person: "Well, I can't say to play or they definitely won't pick me..."
