Post by: runboy93 on November 17, 2011, 01:49:49 pm
I really have asked almost everyone GMs who i have seen on IRC/PMs, but no one answer to me.

Anyone who knows about CBT could reply over here..
Is there enough people already or is there another reason why not take anymore people in?

I have told everyone via PMs or IRC that i don't want ruin or do anything harm at test.
"Testing is always testing nothing more or less"

It's called a closed beta test for a reason and trust me there is more than enough people testing it already , now it's actually quite hard to find a bug that isn't reported.

Assuming it is a CLOSED beta, i suppose there is no way to join.

EDIT: As T-888 said.

Someone who is asked "hey wanna test our newest beta content?" by the developers of a game.

Best buddies and these who got somewhat involved in the shaping FOnline in what we know now? People who're not only devs but support the playerbase and proved themself to be insightful in ways of work of devs and GMs?

Hm, that's sure something you can be proud of.

Not devs.

No, we are testing it, we have lot of people.Why invite more?
EDIT: Sorry not we, but they.

Just wanted to troll the usual "hey there is something going on that only chosen people can participate. Can I join too?" It's the same like wanting to be a gm or mod. If you are suitable you will be asked. Or, like already stated, you have friends with access to it. Well I'm friends with nexxos and surf and still I'm no gm, don't participate in CBT and have no APA carpet. it all depends on how much you beg for / want something.

If someone clearly looks like someone capable of participating in closed beta test, and the people (GMs) who know / have heard that this someone would be a good betatester, then he will be asked. Being a "friend" or "close friend" to a GM through whatever means isn't a full guarantee for automatically getting in "important positions", but I don't decline the fact that it does help in choosing.

Someone who posts a topic and says: "Hey I'm a good betatester, pick me!" is rather unlikely to get any kinds of positive recognition, as obvious as it should be.

I have to ask, what is the point of the CBT anyways?  I could've sworn we were already testing the game in the Open Beta, and I didn't realize the game was so closed to being completed already.  It doesn't make any sense really, to divide up the 2238 population more in the first place.

Post by: runboy93 on November 20, 2011, 06:41:35 pm
Lock this topic already :/
This topic just lead to flames sooner or later.. atleast mass whine :D

For everyone who isn't testing CBT now... we see results after wipe and then we can actually play it and not just test it as those people do with it now.

In CBT, you aren't "playing" as you are "playing" in the normal Open Beta server, there's a big difference already. CBT is more like dedicated to testing and finding bugs.

Yes, as he said,there is lots of interesting, new stuff which needs to be properly tested.

This topic is so laughable!
Some people saying "I should be in the CBT" actually have done pretty much nothing - reported no bugs, haven't made any real suggestions on how to make the game better and now whine about someone being unfair on them for not taking them into the CBT. God, you people are lame. Not like I'm an angel myself, but for crying out loud, I'm not asking for something and I do realize I am just one of the skeptic bastards over here. This topic is pointless anyway.

Why we should say there always when we have IRC channel for that  ;)
For example I told directly to developer about some bugs and they fixed them so your talking is only worthless here.

And THAT is one of the reasons of bug report duplicates.

Maybe you got such luck as I do.
I got PM from "Mysterious stranger".
In message there was links to client, Updater and to changelog.
