For those asking "When is the DE beta"?

[Heathy]

Because it was a free bonus for buying the DDE

Ok it never actually said free anywhere. But if you look at it as free then half of the I paid for it arguments fail.

that would of been fine if they hadn't added it as a teaser, that was put in there directly to draw the hardcore of us gamers that cannot resist the urge to get something early. by this definition it was a selling point, by which selling = money = not free.

I'm sorry i've been watching this forum and the steam forum for weeks playing eve on the side, read so much speculation its really driving me mad have to sift through so much BS its unbelievable. just bored of waiting like everyone else..

Don't we all wish they would release the beta sooner? You don't see everyone complaining though. Hey I too have some conflict of schedule as on this Friday I have to drive by my own for 500 km back to my hometown. Have to stay there for a week for festive holiday then back 500 km to the place I live now. So at most I only have one and half week to play. Should I urge TWI to release the beta soon too by making threads and spout conspiracy theories about why they don't release soon enough?

Isn't there an old saying, "A watched pot never boils"? Go outside and enjoy the day. Play some other games, do something...you breaking an F5 key isn't doing anything but waste your life. Whats the worst that can happen? You may come back and find out that you missed the initial beta release by a couple of hours? ZOMGZ!

Ah, smugness and condescension. It saddens me how many posts there are like this in the thread. Do you think a post like this will thwart the anticipation? Maybe posting it was a waste of your life.

Absolutely

The DDE can stay even after game is released you would still get the day one unlocks and other stuff.

The only thing you would not get is the free early beta access. That was added as a free bonus to the DDE.

We payed for the game and the early unlocks. The beta was a free extra( ie: not included in the price)

The DDE content still stands alone without the beta access. No need for removal.

Uhm, no. I paid for the beta access. I don't even OWN any other Tripwire games besides RO. AAMOF, I find it strange -- and I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned -- that the DDE contains perks for old, unrelated games rather than extras for the game you are purchasing.

 

[Stahlhelmii]

As far as everyone saying, "if you don't like it then cancel your preorder," have you ever considered that some of us simply want the fair opportunity to make an INFORMED decision as to what we are paying for and whether we'd like a refund?

As has been said, the biggest problem is with an absolute lack of information. And, I agree, if the "early" beta access was INTENDED to be less than a week, that, IMO, would not be worth the price. I simply refuse to believe that the original early beta access date has not been delayed. Do I have "facts" to prove it? No, because Tripwire is withholding the "facts" from us.

Please, just remember that just as I do not have facts to support this opinion, YOU do not have FACTS to disprove it to call me a whiner and claim that I am making it up. None of us knows ANYTHING, and THAT, in a nutshell, is the problem.

Well said Stahlhelmii!

No you didn't. Nobody charged you for beta access.

 

[Neez]

Fact of the matter is: If we don't get the beta by tommorow, they used the "early beta access" as a way to get more money.

TF2 may have been released many years ago, but it still sees regular updates and is the number one online game on Steam. Killing Floor also still sees fairly regular updates and is still ranked in the top 20 on Steam.

All I see are the same whiners making the same arguments with their brand new accounts. You were never promised a date, period, in addition I think people see Tripwire as this massive operation with a massive PR department. This isn't EA here people, and to be frank you would be getting far less from EA. The close-knit, intimate group at Tripwire that cares for PC gaming is why I paid for the DDE more than any other reason.

I am outside, on my laptop with beer, I thought we all were? :IS2:

Be careful not to spell said beer. That could really ruin your otherwise awesome sounding day

Where is that a fact? Did they mention somewhere that the beta will be released on a certain date?

No I won't spill that one, several more and we'll get into the spilling

Same place you got your " fact " that nobody was charged for the beta

Steam Digital Deluxe Edition
Steam Digital Deluxe Edition adds the following extras on top of the Standard Edition:

Access to the final phase of closed beta before the August 30th launch
Day 1 Unlock of the Elite Assault Weapons (MKb 42(H) and AVT-40) and Semi Auto Sniper Weapons (SVT-40 and G 41(W)

Clearly implies the beta is part of what you are paying extra for, unless you are in denial of course

Playing EVE was awesome . However I already have 50 hour a week job as well as a 4 yr old.

 

[Neez]

They said the beta would be out two weeks before the original release date, at least.

They also said they wont push the beta back, and it will be the same date as it always has been.

Do the math.

So... It most likely has been pushed back (the beta) which is fine, if they had told us something, instead of lying straight up = to get money. At least give us a bone.

Is it just me, or are the pages in this thread messing up? At first my post was on page 27, now it is on 26. When I click on page 28, it goes to page 27. These kids broke the forums?!
