Beta for all who pre order

[koschi]

No this is not a thread of "i only have normal edition gimme beta" i have digital deluxe but one concer:

when we play the beta say 2 weeks before hos gets realesed, the most digital deluxe edition owners are already ro "veterans" and we will know the maps because of the beta, so why not get everybody in?

we will "pwn those noobies" otherwise

when it is server related i understand and if the beta gets an own forum i also understand, but if we can host our own servers and can only post in this forum why not everybody?(i mean everyone who pre ordert)

 

[H.A.A.R.P]

So if we play 2 weeks before anyone else, we'll always be better than anyone who buys the game after the early access? Dumb logic

Lets face it, you only wanted Beta in the thread name because its popular....

 

[Devil_Inside]

I'm pretty sure there are "noobies" who will be pwning you even after you've played for two weeks

On a serious note - the game is still not ready for release, so what's the point to practically opening it for the masses. Plus, there'll be people who will get angry as they paid ~10 bucks more just for the beta.

In something like CoD I can see this being a pretty big issue, but in RO the learning curve is pretty major anyway, and those who played Ostfront will probably have a sizeable edge on those who didn't anyway. Two weeks of extra practice isn't going to make a world of difference in my mind, for this particular game.

also. i hope thats its like the case in ROOST. when your a veteran you still dont "own" everyone.

 

[jalex3]

oh great then they would need to put up even more servers.

It really is not a problem to play before others, its only going to be a few weeks.

I don't understand why people think those who have a higher veteran status will have any significant advantage. Did we all forget that we are playing RO? A bullet is a bullet, it won't deflect off of a hero's head.

i know i know its hard to understand for CoD and BF players. But this game is planned to stay for years as competitiv PC game. No one will ask for the first 2 weeks after release when the DDE guys have a little adventage when the game is 5 months on the market.

calm down everyone, i was just saying and i am an ro player so i know that i will keep playing this game the next 10000 years, and if it is a server thing as i sad then i understand

sorry if i pissed anyone off...

 

[NuclearDruid]

sorry if i pissed anyone off...

Haha chill man. No one's pissed off

 

[PermenentMarker]

But wait, I still play ostfront, so I will have an advantage over other beta players who first jumped in RO...

I see what you mean. But people will learn.

And I am worried for those who got DD and never played RO... I have a feeling they will be a very small minority.

 

[Nachoguy5]

Admit it, most of you guys pre-ordered the DDE version just so you could play before anyone else. Nice to see that in any situation the guy with more money always gets what he wants first hell if I really wanted to that badly I could've bought the DDE edition, but I would have bought it to contribute to the beta and refining the game, not "Hurr durr I pleh b4 u!".

 

[B-Nut]

I did not buy the DDE to say I get to play before others. I bought to get to play as soon as possible!!!

 

[Icey_Pain]

There are quite a few reasons why such logic doesn't work OP.
1. Talent, some people start of better than you right from the start.
2. Experience, maybe First person shooters or even RO1
3. 2 weeks is a very short time to get any significant advantage going in a game with a steep learning curve
4. Dedication, chances are quite big that after the release people will already have exceeded the amount of hours you put into it, thus nullifying your initial advantage completely.
5. Intelligence, there will always be people that are able to outsmart you at anything you do.

I bought the retail version and won't be playing beta. I bet you even if you had a head start of me, I'll still beat you.

Good to see modesty is still alive and kicking
