"People that didn't report a single bug will not be in the next beta."

General Discussion

I would say that players that don’t play the Beta or just play it a few minutes and then stop (Didn’t like the game or were just using it to push their viewers in Twitch.tv) should be the people that should be taken away their opportunities to play.

The reason is that first of all some people might not understand when something is not working as intended or in other words “A bug”. Some bugs are obvious and easy to see and report, but some are not as common or as easy to detect.

Also the more players you have testing the more you can test the stability of the servers, maybe something in the translation deparment didn’t make much sense, or maybe there’s a zone/map that drops your fps. The more players you have the more likely you will find bugs but at the same time the more likely you can detect things that even thou are not “Broken” are not working as they should (Example could be broken classes or doing too much damage, some classes early game been horrible, etc).

All in all betas are meant to test multiple things and rarely are there for you to “Find the bugs”, that’s why we have Alphas. More than not Betas are use to test server stability, to see how people react to lets say to the ingame store and prices, etc. As a beta tester there are way more things for you to test and report than just bugs (Exploits sometimes are as bad or even worse than bugs)

I vote no.

Not everyone will encounter a bug during their play, either they did not visually catch it or it just didn’t happen during their playtime.

Betas aren’t all about bugs (but that is very important). Betas are also there for feedback.

If something like this was implimented, I would suggest “Everyone who contributed feedback in some form would have a higher chance of getting the next key.”

Too many people think betas are for playing for fun. (I do, but I also try to contribute to improve the game.)

I reported 1 bug I think, if you got frozen by the ghosts and then died and resurrected, your character’s player model would be entirely frozen but you could still move around and play normally until the next time you were killed, I couldn’t repeat it though

I don’t really have a problem with this, but they’d need to count both the ingame bug reporting and forum bug reports. They gave us the forum bug reporting section for a reason if they only wanted us to use in game reporting they should have said so.

On the other hand, I do understand that the players who came in the second wave of key handouts didn’t have much time to play and many of the bugs would have already been reported. But those who had a whole week to play really should have found at least one bug, there were many.

#59

I reported some bugs but I don’t think this would be fair and I don’t think IMC would do it like this. It’s not even reliable maybe I found some bugs now but won’t next time and who didn’t find this time would find next time…

#60

though i had a beta key unfortunately i haven’t played the game due to internet limitations … so i have not met bugs, rather frustrating internet connection ( steam for me is slow)… though i directly share my toughts on the matter to Mr.Marikim @_@\ if i get a 2nd iCBT key, i hope they just gonna patch it rather than another client dload =3=’" (it took me 13 days to finish my dload of the client).

also, some bugs are already report by the people and redundancy of bug reports can cause confusion to IMC team.

#61

Is this person just trolling with this quote anyways? I still haven’t seen a link to the source of this quote, did it even come from IMCGames?

#62

Unless they release more beta keys and is a “new game” version on steam and you have to download it once again, it is not confirmed which way is going to work…i believe they will keep the same users who installed the game but who knows…

#63

That wouldn’t make much sense though. There is no need to launch a “new game” every beta. All they have to do is a patch and reopen the server.

#64

A big part of CBT is stress testing and in that sense somebody that played for the whole 7 days and never reported a bug may have helped more then somebody who played the game 5 hours and reported 2-3 issues they ran into.

#65

This seems a bit unfair to me. I’m not in the beta so w/e, but on other games that are apparently very buggy, Witcher 3 for example, I’ve experienced maybe 1-2 bugs at most.

Some people get ridden with bugs, others not so much. I apparently have good luck at getting very few bugs in more modern games. However in some older PC games I had terrible luck.

#66

Fair enough. But no.
I reported a few bugs and suggested a few things.
But not everyone “has to”.
So the criteria shouldn’t be that.
People can be in the beta just to play and try it out as they want.
That way people will get to know the game, talk to friends about it, and make it grow.
No problem at all.

There weren’t that many bugs to begin with, mostly text errors.
I only thing i reported was about when I couldn’t play
the game till like 7 hours after the launch. Constant delay and d/c.
I have like 45 hours on the game and only broken thing I saw was
text errors. Which I saw pointless to report since there were numerous
of post about it already.

#68

as nyuha said ( i dont know/too lazy/too tired on how to quote his/her statement), the iCBT is more on for server test to see how the servers will stretch to hold thousands of players at a time (the extra 4k keys confirms this) until the server crashed. probably to solve ping also?

They should be in the next beta.

The people who shouldn’t are the ones who create an account and only post " I want a key" or the person who speaks 4% English “Give key me I want to beta”.

Even the people who say they want a key for their daughter or son whose like 7…

I’ve seen so many of these posts that even thinking about it pisses me off…

I think it could be fun.
But it also mean that the next Beta won’t have a single lag, since the population won’t even reach 1000 players xD

Jk apart, the next Beta Players will be these who played the first iCBT. They need a continuous feedback, so they need the “same” player base.

PS : I’m safe anyway :slight_smile:

#73

No. Mostly cause we didn’t encounter that much bugs on early levels. Every bug i got was checked on thw forum search an was already on it, and i don’t think spamming the same bug that have other 1 or 10 threads will do a thing.

#74

First of all, i don´t have read all the post´s here, but i think:

Report bugs in the forum that already have reportet, makes (in my Opinion) no sense.
(i have read many threads with the same bug)
