Just a quick beta update for those keeping score from home!
Friday Invites
As you know we started the closed beta test of Issue 13: Power and Responsibility this week. We've sent out an additional small batch of testers invites this afternoon, Friday Oct. 10th. So, check your e-mail
The Beta
Right now in the beta, the testing is pretty focused as a number of features are disabled for public testing as they aren't ready to have additional eyes on them yet. So far we've received a lot of good input and the bug database is hummin as our testing team enters the bugs and our developers bust out fixes for them and get new builds with said fixes ready for deployment.
Beta Message Forums on vBulletin
Also, I wanted to comment that we are using a separate vBulletin message forum for feedback and discussion in the beta. This is also a good way for us to iron out any issues with vBulletin prior to our coming big move off of UBB for the Official Message Forums. Don't worry - you'll all have the chance to check out our new vBulletin based forum home in the near future and well in advance of our move.
So, if you do receive a closed beta invitation, now or in the future, please be sure to make a note of the URL for the beta forums and visit them for additional information about the beta.
The Beta Selection Process
I just wanted to reiterate that we know that a good number of players would like to get into closed beta. However, we really want to make sure the features are ready before we let a ton of people pound on the goods. In may cases, there is still a good bit of work to do. While Issue 13 is shaping up, we are still weeks out from open beta. Open beta will be everyone's chance to play the new issue before release and to provide direct feedback.
Thanks in advance for your understanding and as always for your continued support of City of Heroes!
