Hustle and Bustle over the length of Xbox 360 beta... My thoughts

OKAY... I am an Xbox 360 owner and I pre ordered UE of Defiance. I have a toss up of questions and rants about this crazy issue that's blowing up these forums. For one I totally understand our memory will be wiped so the beta really doesn't matter. But what does is being able to play and see what your in for.

I will admit that the one thing that is ticking me off about this whole ordeal isn't the length, but the days the beta takes place. I was a least expecting a weekend like all the P.C betas were before. But we get it on a Monday and Tuesday???!!! Who is going to have time for a weekday beta that begins at 8 AM and ends at 9 pm the next day!!!! I'm only going to have about 6 hours being in full-time college. But that's beside the point.

The only real question I have is will Beta characters transfer, like will my P.C Character be available to me on my Xbox? JW

P.S. For everyone gripping about PS3 having 6 days, this would bother me too, but I think they have to test servers on them because they have already tested the game on Xbox and P.C... plus it probably will only work for PS3 for 2 days due to their crappy servers anyway LOL!

I've been asking that question for so long, but not even feature is available not yet however. Transferring characters doesn't really involve the console Companies, so it can be done. It costs money and time however.

As I told someone on the Defiance facebook page, Trion owes us no xbox beta, so be happy that you get it at all.

Um........Yeah they do when they include it as a preorder bonus.

The bonus means if there's a Beta event, then you are guaranteed an invite, not that you are owed a beta. For an MMO, a beta is necessary for stress tests since it's going to be constantly running. But that doesn't mean consumers are owed the early access. Besides, who preorders a game for the Beta? There's a scrip and XP boost, weapon, and a vehicle just with the ED. I thought people got a preorder so they aren't showing up and seeing it's out of stock....

No, what I mean is that Trion does not have to offer a beta for xbox at all, its not a law that they have to, they want to and people should be happy with whatever they get.

Got called the same as well. Apparently having an obsession in Defiance makes you a fanboy.........
