Extend PC-testing time a bit?

[Partl]

Greetings - just slipped in, so it might just be me...but. Woulnd it be a neat idea, to have some more days of betatesting for PC-platform?

Surely i can tell you, i would aswell appreciate it - just to get some more days of testing out that baby. But mainly, its because defiance really seems to need some more testing and feedback.

So, as long, as it doesnt mess with the testing-phases for xBox and PS, woulndt it be nice?

IMO, not only no, but HELL NO!. If the PC Beta ends today/tonight as planned, the devs have only 10 days to consolidate the issues found/reported, prioritize the issues, create fixes, test the fixes and roll out the Launch build, first to the QA team, then to the Alpha testers. The QA folks or Alphas may well find some of the issues weren't fixed or that the 'fixes' created new issues, so another round of fix and test will likely be required. And you want to cut into their 10 days?

We've already had 3 PC Beta tests, in January, February, and now March. It's time to add the polish and prepare for Launch.

Yeah, I agree it isn't needed. They need to buckle down and focus on launch, once people are up and running they can continue adding content and fixing issues.

its already a day too long you are just playing first starter content over and over again and then QQ if all your farming and archievements etc get wiped.

yeah those QQ people suck and should not buy the game.

The people QQing about not wiping anything, are the true annoyance, the in game store was present, and people had bought items from it, if they loose the items, who wouldn't QQ. Not only that but hard working plays that did all the quest, deserve a pat on the back.

[Arkman31]

No its not needed as the Launch is less than two weeks away and I for one can wait for that.

3 betas and an on going Alpha and now with launch around the corner a longer beta isn't likely and not really necessary.

You can't purchase anything outside of the bits they gave. It will throw an error.

Congrats on doing 30 some-odd quests? Not that big of a deal.

I'm at an EGO power of 311, and I know I can easily make that back and then some after launch when the rewards for Arkfalls are increased and the Hotshot and Racing challenge exploits are fixed.

Sorry guys this Beta is not for bug testing, any feedback gotten here can be worked on (takes months to make changes)
This beta is for 2 things only, to get people talking (marketing) and stress test severs for lag.

Thats it, they wont extend it and dont need to, there is a alpha team thats been testing the whole time for that.

Doesnt mean it doesnt hurt to report bugs and provide feedback, but this build is months old with many bugs fixed and probably a handful of changes to.
