So. Wave 2 of CB has still not started.

Sadly, from what I heard mostly from both accounts were these lines...


"STOP Q.Q'ING!!! YOUR NOT GETTING INTO BETA!!! BUUURRRRNNNZZZZ!!!"

People are more willing to pick up pitchforks and torches, rather than use a positive remark to their fellow game members, this is the way of the world now, and why I want to watch you and the world all burn

You lose again Mr. Duck. They have been out of F&F for awhile now. All kinds of people breaking the NDA doesn't usually happen till the people that don't have the slightest clue what they're doing enter... I think that would include you and the other people that scream "I wan shinee nou!". The NDA has been broken on here many times for awhile now. This proves to me that they are well into he beta waves.

With your track record of complaints and useless trolling and ranting I hope you and people like you are the last ones to see the GR beta. All they did was guarantee invites... They never said when! If you keep this up you'll be lucky to see it at all.

That's pretty much what happened with the STO CB.

That's assuming he has an account in good standing.

YOUR NOT GETTING INTO BETA!!!!

Q_Q tears..

Think of when mom made you smash your gerbils head in cause you didn't get good grades in school, that's Q_Qing my friend...

The funny thing to me is still that so many assume that closed betas are done in a few mass waves. The City of Villains beta was a closed beta, and while there are phases to the beta that are pretty clearly defined, like going from Friends & Family to inviting Players, the actual process of inviting players happens in many waves over many weeks, and could be anything from a few dozen players being invited to hundreds of players being invited, depending on how stable the beta currently is and what the Devs want to test.

i was not in the first wave of the City of Villains closed beta, more like the 5th or 6th, and it was tough to play it even at that stage. Lag and/or latency were frequent and sometimes severe to the point that it was almost impossible to test things in the game because simply crossing a zone was a test of patience. Client and zone crashes were frequent and often the server would roll back everything you'd done in the last half hour. At that point it was usually more about filling out bug reports on the latest crash than trying out the new powersets or gawking at the new zones. Closed betas tend to have lots of incomplete and buggy systems as different systems are tested, reworked and tested again. Anyone who joins a closed beta thinking that what they see is exactly what will go live, or that all they need to do is wander around and then boast to their friends about all the sekrit new stuffs they saw is an idiot.

The biggest wastes of air are those who join a closed beta fairly early on, see that something is different from what is on live and then promptly goes screaming to the public boards (probably using a trial account as a proxy if their IQ is larger than their shoe size, but smaller than their waist size) that the Devs have nerfed accuracy or gutted [AT name] or that [new powerset] is an overpowered/underpowered mistake. Closed betas up until shortly before they go open are by default in a condition that is not representative of what will go live. Especially for new game systems, powersets and ATs since there is no "cottage rule" during beta.

There is no single factor that determines when you will be invited to a closed beta. While veteran/loyalty/passport/llama status might help bump you to a given bloc for invite priority, things like past contributions and random chance probably play larger roles in when the invite will be received. The fact that i've been invited to some of the previous closed betas alone might imply that it's an imperfect process.

In other words the "Q" resembles an eye with tears coming out. Just another emoticon.

I am so blacklisted, lol. d;D

I think your on higher ground than I am after the reply I sent back to Mod8 today.

Let all the obedient players get in for all I care, your just narrowing your results by doing so... :shugs:

How utterly stupid.

There is no reason to send Mod08 nasty messages. He's one of the few Developers that has always been honest with the community and should be given the credibility he deserves.

He reminds me of lighthouse....

:'(

See what I did there?

Mod08 (and Lighthouse) isn't a developer

<3!
In the end, that is all irrelevant. The ultimate and final bottom line is, the devs invite whoever they want, whenever they want, however they want. In the end, EVERYONE gets into the beta. Regardless of what you (generic you) think you deserve, it is all meaningless.
Who's butt-kissing? Oh, do I take it you don't know Arcanaville? $100M inf. says you are benefiting from at least two of the improvements she has consulted on for the game. You could always thank her.
Well, seeing as the first rule of closed betas is usually, "Don't talk about Closed Beta," and the second rule is often, "Don't talk about Closed Beta," I have a wild guess why.
Fleeting, don't let your facts muddy this discussion up.

It's appropriate to those who use it (IE trolling), then.

Rednames then. No wonder they managed to maintain their credibility. d;D

That's only "IF" you are in Closed Beta and agreed to the NDA. I've only been in two CBs and both times I have asked to be removed. It's no fun when you have to agree to not talk about closed Beta. Not being invited I can discuss it to my hearts content.

You're not going to start QQing about QQing are you?

I don't even think you know Arcanaville, you hang out? go to parties with her (I know that much that person is female) text and call her 24/7?

Cause somebody invents the wheel, doesn't mean I need to thank them, they are providing us an advancement in humanity, which one day somebody else will as well, and continue to do so till our species dies out.

Did Paragon Studios thank Arcanaville? this is an American company and in a Capitalism economy, I can bet you 100M inf she saw not one dime in her efforts, and probably got the Edison/Tesla treatment..

Tesla: "Hey I got an IDEA! free electricity for all!!!"

Edison: "Can we market off that?"

Tesla: "Well..No...It's FREE!"

*Edison electrocutes a live elephant to show the dangers of free electricity*

Tesla: "WTF you do that for!! now they think electricity is dangerous and needs to be controlled!!"

Edison: "This is America, we are Capitalist, nothing is free moron, now watch the world laugh at you, and I market off your ideas and make myself into history!"

Tesla:

Now, I bet she's in all the beta's gets a heads up on developments that are "in the works" but it's all done for free *I assume* meaning even though she helps and does what she does awesomely, unless their is a paycheck involved like the rest of Paragon Studio gets, then well, I can't fully agree the people of this game thanked her enough.

The butt-kissing part? well that goes for allot that goes on here, I find it that there is a human condition that makes people see somebody as higher than them, by their miracles and wondrous powers, and those that they feel are beneath that, are compelled to worship or "butt-kiss" to make that person seem higher than them, it's been through history, and I would like this action to stop, cause it gives people god-complexes when sometimes those people are no where near greater than us.
