Alpha/Beta leveling.

[Chirimo]

Use the Alpha/Beta play time to really understand how the game works. The Pros and Cons of everything, from perks to weapons to even tactics to use as your advantage on the battlefield.

When most say alpha/beta they mean a demo with a timer >.>

i wil admit i like playing in alphas/betas because it gives me an idea of the games. but i always play it in mind its not finished. but i still try my hardest to find bugs and exploits, for me its not a free ride. kind of like having a job you really really enjoy, so you dont mind not getting paid.

also Trion prolly uses alpha/beta data to tweak stats and stuff, so they are gonna have to reset everything

I played in two events and retained all my settings and upgrades but the actual game may have different customizations to explore. Plus with the ego unlocks you'll end up with a different character setup anyway.

once the game shift from (alpha/beta) or "closed" status to (headstart/release) or "open" progress gets wiped, though i havent seen any mention of any early access/headstart for this game from a dev. i wouldnt want to play a game who's developers kept closed progress through release. since part of the closed testing is to determine whats to fast a way to "lvl" and whats too slow.
