Question about TF2 hats and a little else.

[Poerisija]

So far, I'm slightly disappointed in TWI. Not disappointed in RO2, but TWI.

Firstly, changing date after pre-order has already started. It's ok, but still disappointing.

Secondly, not telling the beta starting date. Very disappointing and raises the question about it's original starting date being pushed back in silence too.

Thirdly, the TF2 hats I got for DDE-preorder don't show up for other players. So basically I paid extra for extra goodies and didn't get to use any of them and no official word when/if I do get to use them.

Do the hats show up to other people when the game is released? Or are mine bugged, or what?

You have a date for Beta....before 30th August

My hats showed up right in my TF2 inventory after I preordered the Deluxe Edition, could have been a faulty problem or something. Hopefully shows up for you in a couple of days.

Mine don't. What gives? I tried restarting, putting on another hat for a while and then putting Stahlhelm back but it doesn't help. Still wont show up.

Yes, this is true. But if it starts on 29th we can feel a bit disappointed because it was planned to be 1-day beta only.
TBH if beta came out today, it would've been a 2-week beta (if it was released on 30th). Seems a tad short as well. Which I think it will not do.

Who said that?

 

[The Algerian]

Pre-ordered day 1, my hats were fairly visible to everyone right off.

 

[Poerisija]

Way to take something out of context. Please read the whole sentence.

 

[Hesgad]

My bets still own for 1-week beta planned but will now be more like 3-week beta due to the release being pushed back but even 1 week would be fine to check out the game

 

[Poerisija]

Beta isn't supposed to be for "checking out the game" but instead finding bugs and glitches and possible imbalances in the game. 1 week is not enough for that, even with the massive numbers of DDE-players.

The way you wrote it makes it sound like it was meant to be one day.

Sorry if it's not clear to tell what you're talking about right away.

You totally misunderstood the final stage of a beta in the final stage its more like a testbuild checking if the server handle well under extrem preassure by them most major bugs should be found and patched anyways so 1 week is perfect for a final stage

I think what he's saying is since the beta is still "on schedule" (meaning the original schedule before the delay), if it came out on the 29th then the beta would have been planned for the day before release.


My TF2 hats showed up the very second I preordered. This isn't a TWI problem, this is a steam problem. Send in a ticket with admins and they should correct the problem.

Also since the game is coming out on the 13th, even if it's the 29th (the day before the original release), it's still 2 weeks of beta before the game. Calm down.

It's ok, I thought you were trying to make fun of me. Edited my post to make it a bit less hostile as soon as I read it. Sorry for being offensive. :|

He means that it has been said by TWI that '' internal dates have not been pushed back''

If this were true it would mean that a demo on the 29th would have meant the original plan should have been a 1-day beta.

Okay, I will contact steam then. Thank you for clarification that it's a steam problem. Btw my hats showed up too and I can see them but anyone else can't. Have you tested that can others see your hats too?

All the major bugs have already been fixed during the family and friends beta, and the final phase of the beta is going to be just a final and largest stress test, it's not supposed to turn up any big bugs.

1. The only "mistake" I can see is that preorder started so short on time to the release. Remember you can preorder a lot of games pretty much in advance, do you get upset when they get delayed too? I think a lot of people are only upset about the delay because it was so close to the release. The reaons for the delay are still good and im glad they delayed it.

2. Well thats a sword with two edges. Imagine what happens if they announce a date for the beta and then have to delay that too. I dont need another "****storm" in the forums like that again.

3. The hats work fine for me and anyone I know. In the last days I saw that the steam friend servers etc were down for me for some time. This can also have a effect on your tf2 loadout, making hats and other items not being avaiable.

1. If they're delayed less than a week after pre-orders start and not long after the RELEASE DATE is announced, yes, I am disappointed. It was bad planning on TWI's part.

2. The "no telling date"-policy causes even more grief to them imho. Just look around here and on steam forums. How many posts a day about "WHY NO BETA" "WHEN IS BETA" "WAT IS BETA DATE"?

3. Well, that's good. My hats don't show up for anyone else. Which results in me being not very happy about it.

Well however if you try to release a video game, a book or you plan a vacation there always can happen something almost out of nowhere and that can happen very fast. For a example I was meeting with some friends in the netherlands one some guy from the usa arrived 2 days too late because his flight got canceled two times. In the terms of RO2 Release I rather see the game being released two weeks later and get a better release with a higher quality. A quality that the game, the devs and the players deserve at the release not two weeks "after" the release.

To be fair the steam forums are quite, hmmmmm special in that case...Also what if TW does not really know the exact date when they can release the beta? What should they tell you? Sorry we plan to release the beta "somewhere" in the next 3 weeks? Oh wait TW kind of already said they will release the beta before the release so you know when yo ucan expect the beta release.
