General Discussion - Ready for the BETA! - Forum

" If you guys look for enjoyment then you should know alpha testing wouldn't provide a lot of that. A lot of unfinished stuff present (items, environments, quests etc) probably ton of bugs and totally unbalanced gameplay. Try to play -> share your thoughts -> play more -> get a bug -> report it -> play some level for 50th time -> see if you won't get any bugs there etc etc. That sounds interesting! :) I like finding bugs, I always do. Even in released game, I search for them and I find some. :P	Posted by Zirfith on Mar 25, 2011, 5:59:50 PM Quote this Post

I was involved in an alpha test of a game called Piko Island and I had a lot of fun helping the admins out with game testing that game. It kinda sucks that they were bought out by some other company and the game was eventually killed :(	Posted by lordcowking on Mar 26, 2011, 10:55:46 AM Quote this Post

In long term it's pretty boring and tiresome tbh, if you won't feel that way then obviously you are not playing enough to be considered good alpha tester :F You're making it sound like we're professional testers, where testing and providing feedback is required. That's not the case here, it's the best case scenario.	Posted by Septile on Mar 27, 2011, 6:47:12 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
In alpha it's required. You are not providing it you are not welcomed. That's why we are spamming on forums instead of playing :D	Posted by ness on Mar 27, 2011, 3:13:31 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
Alpha testing is not a job (at least not until they start paying me for it). Alpha testing is a two-way street like most things in life. The devs give you the ability to play the game and in response expect some feedback to help make it better. Let's not try to pretend we're cool or professional and make this whole thing out to be something more or less than it really is.

Path of Exile is looking great so far! You definitely got my attention and interest. Hope to see this baby in action soon! :D	Posted by Simo on Mar 30, 2011, 1:59:32 AM Quote this Post
I'm quite looking forward to this game, looks like it is going to pay great homage to the Diablo games.	Posted by Lurker28 on Apr 4, 2011, 3:08:38 PM Quote this Post
