Question for devs

[SolitarioSoldat]

Hi very simple question,just yes or no from the devs would be nice.

Already been confirmed that it will be 10-20.000 keys for closed beta,will us the forum members been offered a key to join the closed beta?

Please devs no beating around the bush,be honest with the answer,just want to know if I can lay my hands on the game till release date.And offcourse help with reporting some bugs,but probably by then you guys will have almost all bugs worked out with the family and clans beta testing.

I doubt they have it all planned out yet.

And contrary to what you believe, a friends and family beta is usually not sufficient to eradicate bugs.
If it were, there would be no need for a larger one and they could just ship it.

How many member of the forums are there? Will there even be enough keys for everyone? As strange as it may sound I'm hoping there won't be enough keys for everyone because that will mean alot of people want the game. That is of course along as I get a key, so here's hoping for a resounding YES

i realy hope that the steam pro order opens when the beta starts and if you pre order you can play beta.... would be awesome

 

[Taisenki]

I think Steam will get crippled when this game is released. It's happened with other games. So many people buy it and download it straight away that the game fails to activate and the download speeds are slow then steam disconnects and so on =)

I doubt you're going to get more of an answer than what has already been stated by Yoshi in the FAQ thread.

3) How is beta going to be handled?

We currently have 3 planned phases for beta testing. The first being a friends and family beta (as well as the external testers we have used for years). Odds are you WILL NOT get into this. The second phase we plan to bring in some of our long term community members. For the third phase we are scheduled to have a large CLOSED beta. How to get into this beta will be made clear closer to the time of this beta. But odds are if you want in this beta you should be able to get a key.

I would believe it depends on how the F&F build goes.

They are not going to give all the keys out to random websites, but some will and thats a good thing.

tehy need ot give keys to form members first....then random websites.....and they need to announce when tehy do it, becasue i NEVER look at my email.


i hope steams ****y servers to crash becaue of the amount of peopel downlaodign the game! all TWI would have to do is put "ITS NOT LIKE COD!!!" and it would sell billions of copys!

No offense, but improving your grammar would be a good place to start.

I am also sure that Tripwire has their own method of advertising. Hopefully ones that are full of wonderful, HD videos with tanks and infantry fighting through stalingrad whilst taking the center of Fallen Fighters in a fury of gunfir... Did I start rambling again? Oops.

Hey guys, I translated this to English for you all...

"They need to give keys to forum members first, then random websites, and they need to announce when the Beta starts, because I NEVER look at my email.

I hope Steam's crappy servers crash from the amount of people downloading the game! All TWI has to do is say 'IT ISN'T LIKE COD!' and it would sell billions of copies!"

This is only a loose translation, and may be 100% off in some areas.

Anyways, I'd rather TWI not get on the "We're better than Cowadooty!" bandwagon that seems to be popular with new FPS's recently (Brink, Battlefield 3, Homefront, etc).

 

[gyps]

I'm in agreement bashing other games is not they way to advertise

TWI havent so far i dont see them going down that road tbh

they've so far said how it differs and what makes it special that way which is a much more posative advertising method and wins people over rather than alienating them.

re keys i would image they would notify the people on here before other sites once again just my opion but this is there site would be strange if keys where not advertised or offered on here at least as early as other sites and probly the first site

 

[echutter]

I think anyone that posts on these forums and signs in at least once every two weeks or so should get a beta key.

Don't make it over 100 posts though.. I'm not there yet.

Anyway this was obviously a joke, but I do support the giving of beta keys to forum members, as I believe we have a lot to do with what gets put in the game from our feedback.
