Didn't get an Alpha Invite? Cheer up!

[Siegtaru]

I'm kind of saddened that so many people on the forums are so upset because they didn't get an Alpha invite today. I wouldn't take it too personally, to be honest.

They are thinking of people with alpha invites to be brought to phase1 beta too, but it's not set in stone yet.

Just because you didn't get invited to like, the final phase of the alpha testing, doesn't mean you won't get invited into the Beta aftrerwards. Maybe SE wants to save the Beta invites for all of you "i'm entitled because I haven't stopped paying since launch" folks and sent a bulk of the Alpha invites to people who they knew they could rely on for the small task of stress testing (for the most part). Also, as many people have mentioned, trying to bring the old playerbase back with a small taste of the new game.

This may not be true, but it's better than being butthurt about not getting into the Alpha. People should try to have a more positive outlook on this! I didn't get in either, of course, but I'm happy for the people who did, and looking forward to hopefully getting invited to the Beta instead.

Or look at it this way; what if you got into the Alpha, but not into the Beta? Then would you just whine more? Be happy that we're even being given this opportunity to make the game better and hope you get invited for the Beta instead. I know I am.

And if anything, we're all invited to play the game at launch. =D

hooray!

But you do have a good point. Id rather be in beta than the alpha. Still something to look forward to.

I think they should invite those that left, seems to me they will be more critical and give better pointers than those that stuck around. Especially if they want to get those people back.

I agree. Instead of all the white knights, they need constructive input so they know if what they have built will be received well.

Because those that didn't have the patience to stick with the game will have the patience to test the new one properly instead of just rushing through what content there is and then quitting again, right?

SE Rep: EXACT... wait wut?

lol - So far I've only seen those who are new to the forums or those friends of those old to the forums post that they got in lol.. Funniest RNG roll ever or SE being weird - AKA SE being SE.

Thats always a risk a company takes with outsourced testing like this. The best they can hope for is for those people to speak there minds before they set the bar doors swinging on there exit.

Which is why you normally try your best to invite those that have enough patience and time to test properly. Mind you, as the seething negativity on this forum demonstrates, it's rather obvious that the current community of active accounts isn't exactly prone to be overly forgiving of mistakes.

In any case, once they stated that only active accounts were eligible, they should have stuck by that rule. That, of course, assuming but not conceding that the allegations about it are true, of which I have yet to see any conclusive evidence (while the deletion of the related thread kind of looks rather bad).

Which thread got deleted? i still see 4 of them around... my guess is only people with the perfect spec SE set got in i7 and all that jazz

Without ousting yourself (keep it secret, keep it safe) is there any confirmation that the invites were sent out? (Besides a rep saying it would happen today?)

<-- Obviously wasn't invited, QQ's a little - continues playing Assassins Creed 3 and finishes up FF8 moving on the list to 9.
