When will people stop asking?


I'll admit i want to play this as much as anyone else, but there's no way they will tell us before they want to.

I'm guessing theres a few things they want to change or do before they release it to us, and dont want to tell us when in case they dont meet that date, leading to masses of posts complaining about not getting it.


Or they just want to keep us wondering for their own amusement.

We will have access to the final phase of the beta.

I'm sure TWI has an internal date for this sort of thing, but they aren't going to tell us until they are SURE they can deliver it. They're just trying to get their ducks lined up.

Once they are confident they have hulk-smashed enough bugs and worked out enough kinks, they will let us in. :)

As I'm sure everyone knows, large beta's now a-days are no longer "betas". TWI is going to be polishing until they run out of Turtle Wax because the last thing they want is for 20,000 new people to start playing their game, and then have their forums flood with complaints because X piece of hardware is not compatible with Y line of code.

MEASURE TWICE CUT ONCE.

All we know is that it's going to be some point before August 30th. Just be patient! :)

Or, does it in fact make no sense to sell people a pre order that includes beta access and then not release information on when that beta is, days after the release of pre-ordering and only weeks before the release of the game?

Maybe not, but you were crazy enough to buy one.

look, give them a break. People are excited and I have noticed a lot of the beta posts are people first posts that just bought the game and have no idea wtf is going on in the forum and want to know why they just dropped extra money on the deluxe because common sense points towards them being able to play the beta right away.

Nope, I'm waiting for a date on the Beta before I pre-order. Hat's and unlocks don't matter to me, so if its a week or less of Beta, I'll get regular, 2 weeks or more and I'll get the DE.

I have to concur.

People will look at it, read the word beta, get all excited and buy it then, only to find there is none.

And it is indeed easy to misread or even read it completely different as written.
