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

[Desidus]

It's a beta. **** ffs.
The actual game is released a week later you gonna moan you can't play week days then too? I've never seen a forum community assume they know so much.

Really? seems every forum I go on acts like this...

sad yes.. I know. This forum was really good about 2 weeks ago, but we all figured the popularity of the game would eventually bring us to something like this. lol.

mushinwolf.. no point on closing the thread another one would just replace it in under a minute...

[Desidus]

My thoughts: Let's create 10 more threads on the same topic.

*hits exes with a no nukes sign* whoops wrong one... *hits exes with a no new threads sign*

didn't know I still even had that no nukes sign...

[mushinwolf]

*walks in and hammers a big silver 'anti-dumb thread' spike into the heart of this forum monstrosity, and liberally sprinkles some holy water to make sure..*

Let it die!!

@Desidus...i know, but i have to try and stem the tide of endless dumb threads somehow

*i know not a perfect analogy.. whatever*

• If they cant even control the timing of the beta for there own game what happens the next time theres a conflict with ms? Like they want to star charging for content that is free on other services for example.
• We paid for a game AND a beta. Its a package. The whole thing is what what bought and a company can't cherrypick what parts of the product you paid for they will actually give you.
• Yeah a pc key that they could have gotten themselves easily enough. Gee thanks. Ya think if there pcs could run it they allready would be?
• The only ones disgracing anyone are the trolls who keep insulting the XBOXERS everytime they voice a complaint calling them every 3rd grade insult in the book,
• Concessions? Oh man I just wasted my time the beta has been extended and covers a weekend for XBOXERS! oh wait...

You have not a shred of proof MS did this but a post made by a TRION community rep sighting circumstances not entirely within there control. Which could mean anything. Stop Blaming another company without proof. And your last section is exatly what you claim the XBOXERS are doing. A complete insult. Implying they lack common sense and are slow and need you to tell them something more then once to get it.

I'm sorry, I Preordered Before they announced the details of the UE let alone the standard. I'm sorry you feel entitled to a beta that they didn't have to offer in the first place

Dude, CTrain... You dont become a multi-million dollar company by throwing business partners under the bus. If Trion is having problems with Microsoft or ANY other company they're not going to tell a bunch of forum lurkers about it, that's just common business sense. Like with cross-platforming, its beyond doubt that Trion would LOVE to have it, but we don't. One of their business partners threw a wrench in that plan and yet Trion didn't come out blaming anyone. Again standard diplomacy of big business.

I'm kinda upset my thread turned into another complaint thread. I mean WTF I just had to vent that our beta should've been on a weekend because then theirs a chance for people to actually have time to play. That was my ONLY complaint and we went off to this stupid as crap "not/being owed a beta" I get that we have one and it's good, but timing is going to have less people playing, which does breed tension in people, But stop with the trolling for godsake!

[Nerdy Ryuu]

There's a few things to consider (I've posted about them before, but they obviously got missed)

• Microsoft rarely moves on someone else's schedule, maybe the reason the XBL beta is on mon/tuesday is because that's when microsoft is available.
• You paid for a GAME, not a beta, if you bought just the beta... Then you prove the PC master race is well.. superior. To Include the garaunteed access to the beta is just fluff, to hinge all your hopes and dreams on beta access as your "test drive" to a new car... Wait for someone to write a real review. You arent spending the kind of clams a new car costs, not even close, dont even pretend it is.
• For Trion to offer PC beta keys to all XBL people that want more access, sounds to me like it isn't Trion's fault, otherwise they would just extend the time period. Go bark at Microsoft a lil bit an see if they will make a concession, I bet you wont get one, even if you threaten to goto PSN in your sig.
• I feel for those of you without the ability to take Trion up on the extended PC beta key, due to lack of PC power, but behave yourselves when you voice your opinions. You are disgracing your bretheren from Console-land. Also, get your facts straight, consider the above points, think.
• Any other MMO company I have dealt with, from Bethesda to Blizzard, EA to Bioware, and all the asian MMO's out there, not one, not a single one has been willing to make concesssions like Trion does, or respond as quick, or as honestly.

That being said, bring on the fanboy flames, I have DEFI stickers for armor. But you cant deny common sense all your life. Want to make a real differance? Take the arguement to microsoft. It's their servers, and their time frame, I'm betting that's why the short and awkward beta window.

I hope this doesnt come off as sounding hostile, or imflammatory, but sometimes you need a stern voice to get through thick skulls.

So if anything you just said about MS was true, why buy defiance for xbox at all? I mean by your logic xbox wont get updates on time , xbox wont get anything because MS wont let trion do it. Everything you just said was BS. Xbox not getting a longer beta because its not needed. The test for xbox has already been done. Only reason there is a beta on xbox because they promise one.

sorry but getting a pc beta to xbox players is not really going to help. If xbox owners had a good pc in the first place they wouldnt buy it on xbox .. Thats like saying here xbox players take this ps3 beta code.

I know the Xbox/PC are disappointed that it's only 2 days or so that we get to test, but look at it this way. Since the testing time is so short they must have everything pretty solid and just need to stress test the servers a bit. I'd be worried if I were a PS3 person, "6 days of beta testing this close to release, how much crap do they still need to fix on PS3".

Haha yeah isnt it funny where a thread can lead to. I dont know if Im showing my age or not but I remember a time when you couldnt pre-order games, didnt get demos/betas, and had to wait for a review/your friend's house to try and buy a game. During that time, we also had Game Genie with the code books and no internet haha.

The game comes out in less than three weeks people. We are almost there and we'll all be fighting side by side taking down Raiders and Hellbugs. Looking forward to it!
