Downloading now, am also sending the info to my two gaming buddies. Probably won't get a chance to play until later, work has raised it's ugly head.

Okay so since this is just for pc players to test i guess there's no reason to bother getting on for another week or so.

I see no reason why the console players couldn't go to their game manager and add the Alpha. If they cannot do so, that should be addressed by the Development team. Owning a copy of the game is owning a copy of the game. Console players should have access to the PC Alpha Test server.

Agreed.........

So, as of today, we’ve granted access to everyone who owns Defiance on PC and has registered the game to their Trion Worlds account.

So how will you glean ANY information about what is wrong on the consoles if they are left out of the equation?

good luck in the server, folks. fingers crossed that you guys see some awesome results

Just a thought, but maybe they freaking own a Xbox 360 / PS3 and can test things themselves. A PC isn't like a console as you very well know. Each being very different from each other...

Besides that fairly obvious reason, the thought of running three public test severs and the costs of doing so on a B2P game is just not reasonable. They have to folk more money over to M$ and Sony on top of their own costs just to do it..

Been very iffy on this game from the start. That said these changes are going to be the sort of thing that will wind up making me change my mind (presuming most of them make it to the live server)! Oh and I like that you guys have a test server up. Wasn't aware of it until today. I do enjoy providing feedback and trying to break things - so I'll definitely have to take a look.

I jus finished a volgue siege. We started out with only two players and it was VERY hard. Eventually we built up to 7 players and we took it to stage 5. Very fun fight, so-so rewards.
