Yeah.
Seriously, I could have sworn they stated that they had started the first phase like a month and a half or more ago.
Clearly, there is some play with the official time line of events.
only thing i remember was Yoshi saying he had his list of testers ready and was just waiting for coding and the official go ahead to start.....was during a crosshairs broadcast. but he didn't actually say it started
stephen you are beeing a ignorant person, i mean first there will be no open beta from what we heard, and second that would be a bit late dont you think..... well yeah maybe you where joking but im just saying
Ignorant? No, just pessimistic, but I find that's often the best way.
I think ignorant is a bit harsh.
And by open beta I probably meant 'massive closed beta' - I think they said something like 20,000 keys. Either way if we're still in alpha and it's nearly May then I can't see the game going gold until Q3/4.

August makes sense, I was hoping for it sooner, but would prefer it had plenty of time for testing.
Well, no one here knows the exact release date. So, we all are ignorants in that aspect.
His guess is as good as mine, because TWI didn't confirm that august rumor. So beta can be in August, september or january 2012
Is the Beta set for the anniversary of VE?
Maybe released May...............2045?
At the end of the day a lot of people only want to participate in the Beta to play an early release, not nessesarily to contribute to bug-fixing. Personally I say skip the Beta and spend the time freed up to release monthly videos and essential tweaks to the final build.

that would be counter productive as they won't have enough man power to find all the bugs in order to fix them. whatever your beliefs about people's motivations, open beta testing has been proven to work.
as a closed and open beta tester for a number of games, i can tell you many are enthusiastic about helping the developer polish the game. even if they're a minority, they contribute greatly to the quality of the finished product. just a dozen real testers would be enough. that's why you invite a large number of people to increase the chances of there being serious testers among them.
i have personally witnessed crucial bugs being squashed in many closed beta forums.

I still maintain the belief that we'll all be playing by August
Sounds good to me.
Which one? 5'th of April? 4'th of May? 5'th of May? 8'th of May? 9'th of May? Other?
Different countries celebrate VE day on different dates, so which one should they go by?
