Console Beta realease date

[DarkKnyt29]

This may sound crazy but I may just skip the console beta. As much as I want to play this game, if I play the beta it will be such a tease! Plus if the beta is the 15th to the 18th, Ill miss most of it because I'll be out of town. Womp womp haha

I also sprung for the Ultimate Edition at EB games. If you are gonna go, go all out. But Yeah I certainly hope I get an invite to the beta. Though when the game comes out I will be playing it pretty much everywhere with an outlet and wifi. I got the halo 4 console w/ 320GB Harddrive...and Just recently bought A Gaems 155 Sentry Personal Gaming Environment.

Long story short, I can sit in the coffee shop next door to work and get headshots online during my breaks.

But again. Hope I get an invite *crosses fingers*

You really should think about what you say, before you say it. It is very difficult to do a beta for an MMO on consoles. Trion updates their betas/alphas multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day. And in order to do this on consoles, they would have to go through microsofts and sonys QA team with each patch, which would slow down the development of the game. Also, its nearly impossible to write a proper bug report on console. The majority of the bug reporting is done in game so they can get data on how the bug occurred, along with your sometimes multi-paragraph description of the bug. Unless you have a keyboard hooked up to your xbox, you're not going to be writing worth while bug reports.

The only reason to do a console beta, is to stress test it, and make sure everything works the same on console as it did on PC. There honestly, is no reason to have a true console beta/alpha when you can do everything much faster and more efficiently on PC. When was the last time you guys had a true console beta? The betas are all done on PC because its nearly impossible to do a proper beta on console, for the reasons I have already mentioned.

No, Trion is not ****ting the bed, they are simply trying to make the game the best it can be. The Betas are not meant to be a demo, so stop with your self entitled attitude, and wait for the game like an adult.

Edit: This wasn't directly aimed towards you, but to all the Console players who feel they are entitled to a beta/alpha.

crisis 3 had a beta, but you are right that it is more cost and tech savy for them to do the major beta's and alpha testing on PC. i am glad to wait but i do beleive it would not hurt to let people know a date.
