:confused: So you lock every thread asking about a open beta. Well excuse the Hell out of me. STEAM says 1st quarter myself and many other people would like a little info. Locking the thread is not very polite or a good way to treat people that might be buying your game. So a year from now after the game is released and there is a bug and someone brings it up are you just going to lock the tread over and over again. Or solve the problem.

Patience little one... Patience.

Updated release date is "late Q1/ early Q2" so TWI has time to perform all kind of betas (TWI + closest friends, clans, open beta) till this date.

The mods have locked the threads because it is an already asked and answered question easily found using the search function provided by the forums.

The answer is, there will be no open beta, there will be a large closed beta. We do not have anything further to announce on it at this time.

Also the date and system specs on steam are placeholder and not final. Until Tripwire announces a date there is no release date (we haven't yet).

Isn't this the 3rd thread over the last week or something.

TWI has stated there's no Open Beta, just a closed one. And I doubt anyone's gonna be able to get into the closed one without bribing the team. :D

Hmmm..... Yosh do you accept cookies? I'm out of money. :D

You guys think this is bad? XGenstudio has a flash game called Stick RPG, it's been out since 2003 and people still go on their forums asking how to do things, or thing that they've uncovered something new (like the one cheat thats in the game or that you can exploit the casino in the game to get a lot of money).

Might just be me being stupid but I thought I read somewhere that they expected to be up to that point (betas) before the end of the year (2010).

Some of us are just getting impatient based on what we've heard.

A big sticky that says "THERE IS NO OPEN BETA" would help further idiot proofing.

well, that could've been from the interview i got at PAX when i was told they'd reach at least the first rounds of beta testing by the end of the year (2010). i apologize for having posted that as "fact" and not taking into account the possibility that they could have gotten plans pushed back (i.e. maybe the KF Christmas event?). but then again, they could have been in early beta stages for a while and just haven't told us. the fact that PCGamer got a hands on in November (correct me if i'm wrong) tells me that they reached at least early beta testing before the end of the year because idk who'd give a major publication an alpha, even late alpha version of a game to test out......also the news with the Soundtrack being finished and going into Mixing/Mastering tomorrow is another good sign they are pretty far along.

i think the thing is this: if there isn't going to be any form of open beta, then for the 90% of people the next big news will be the announcement of the release date. if they're only doing closed betas (regardless of size), chances are they're not going to make a post saying "oh hai, we started closed beta, which none of you are in :p". of course it'd be great for people to at least know how things are progressing, regardless of whether or not they are actually participating. imo i still think they'll eventually do some sort of pre-order open beta for large scale stress testing.....from a business standpoint, the money and exposure would just be too tempting to pass up. :eek:

Blasphemy, IS2 can be the only ethereal machine entity within these forums. :IS2:

As for beta, just wait, have some patience. RO2 will be released when TW is ready to, and when they do it shall be epic.

Dont take this the wrong way but surely it would be easier to not have a place holder date and just tell people a release date hasn't been announced yet, rather then having a release date then everyone quote's that date as the release and you tell them its wrong...
