RO2 New Testers needed for future RO2/RS Content

[Zetsumei]

Hello Everybody,
As you might know Antimatter Games is working hard on future updates for the Red Orchestra franchise. To be able to make sure that content released for the updates plays well, and to make sure that in special bug hunts we didn't miss some bugs especially ones with a lot of people.

We need people to help us.

Unlike near release beta’s with more internal testing, you will start with maps from a very rough extremely buggy phase, and on a weekly basis see things being tweaked an moved around. For this we need both enough people to give a good representation on gameplay, as well as feedback and opinions on where the issues lie with how the map plays.

If you want to help in actually improving the game and making sure that content that gets released will be of sufficient quality and like seeing content evolve from very early stages to release ready then please apply. However if you want to just try out content early, it’s probably best to not apply as things are often broken and still meh making people get bored and quit after their first test.

So without further ado if you feel like signing up to be a tester for future RO2/RS content then sign up below.

Hope to see you guys soon ^^

What's the aprox time-frame for testing? Because once September rears it's ugly head I'm going to have to prioritize my final year at Uni and will be sporadically online at best.

Testing lasts as long as RO2 will get new updates or content . And activity generally ramps up until release so I cannot disclose how long it would take for the next bit of stuff.

If you can be active for only a month or two then there generally should be no issue, as long as you communicate clearly

Testing still going to be around mid-day EST? That leaves out the crowd that works during the day.

 

[Zetsumei]

The most likely start time will still be around 3pm est. However its not unlikely that we will use weekends as well.

9pm US etc is 3 or 4 am my time, and even though i tried that during rising storm, generally not enough can show up for those times either.

how can i know if you accepted me or not?

 

[Zetsumei]

An email will be send to both accepted and not accepted parties, but its likely that not a lot will happen for perhaps another week or 2.

 

[Cwalk]

Sounds pretty cool, just signed up for it. Although I'm probably going to have school interfering a lot this coming year as well.

Can't open your webpage in chrome or IE for some reason.

 

[Garcia2100]

Just signed up. 3pm EST is good from me since I work at a school and i get home around 3:30pm

 

[aaz777]

i check my email all the time and dont see anything. i am not accepted? please just tell me that if so. i will be sure that i can spend more time on developing IOM and learning new skills

Do you have to "know" things about games? Like technical things or can you just be a fan that really likes playing RO?

The latter.

As soon as there is a Linux build to test I'm all over it. ( I did some Linux QA testing for Humble, Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs for example.)

We are trying to separate the core of bug finding a bit from the part of evaluating gameplay. However we do expect that if people come upon an issue that they will share it with us so we can fix it, and similarly are able to act in a professional matter to not exploit bugs and issues if they are not fixed yet. People with a good eye for spotting issues are always a good addition, but technical prowess is not a requirement.

However remember that this is not just a "demo" of new content. Content will be provided in a rough an early phase, allowing things to be moulded and shaped according to feedback and observations of how it plays.

So expect early on things to simply be unbalanced and rough. The fun for a lot of people is seeing how things slowly evolve over time, and the feeling of being part of making a map become what it will be.

I dont have that much time these days or i would rejoin the beta team again as i picked up mapping and also got my unit and also still want to play another game once in a while, maybe when the map is done.

i thought this was twi game? also, if you're generating new ro2/rs content cna you please bring back cape and zeltbhan? thank you

 

[Superviser]

i already "supported" you by playing the beta version of search and destroy mode. i would continue my support

But were do i get some informations about the content or lets say how to find out what should be tested?

Antimatter Games (which started as the mod team working on Rising Storm), works as a contracted company for Tripwire together with Tripwire. So tripwire tells us what to do and we do it, sort of. So for suggestions for new features and the kind its tripwire you need to reach as they generate the shopping list

Information about what to test will generally pop up through the testing forums over at Antimatter Games, usually with updates there is a gap of very little activity (stuff needs to be created before it can be tested). And then a ramp up in activity all the way till open beta and release. We are going to try and keep good progress reports with the likely weekly new builds coming out, showing you what changed (giving you an idea what might be broken and wrong) together with what stuff is new .
