Whats happened?

[SuperMorto]

For some reason the community has had a bit of a stall, anybody got any good reasons why?

All I've seen and heard is people bitching they didn't get into the tech test and that is about it. Of course Hamma has kept PSU in its "as always state" but come on. Nothing has surprised me recently.

WTF, get a fucking grip people. We are about to embark on the biggest gaming experience of our lives. Lets start making shit happen.

Morto.

we need to become manly strong MEN with honor.

Those in the Tech Test are in those Forums, those out of the tech test want to be in those forums :P

Edit: And also under NDA.

Nothing more to discuss until we get in game. Everything has been bitched over, complained, praised, broken down and rebuilt as best we can with no hands on experience. I'm actually tired of reading the same stuff over or seeing completely useless topics like....if we can use our side view mirrors in game. Some pointless topic like that does not bring up amazing discussion.

I guess I'm just over the hype of the game. I'm ready to play, not watch people play.

There are tech test forums? Strange, I never heard such a thing mentioned anywhere else. NDA seems like a more likely reason why they wouldn't be posting here about game specifics.

I also love how everyone assumes that people in the tech test must just be running around having a grand old time while those not in the tech test would instead be hard at work unearthing bugs.

c'mon, get a grip, seriously. Besides, the primary purpose of a tech test (stress test) is to evaluate the impact of players actions on the servers. Playing realistically is a more accurate representation of the load the servers will have to shoulder at a future point in time.

I guess I'll try to explain this a little further; a tech test is used to lay the groundwork for a beta test. What if SOE opened the beta floodgates and everyone piled on the servers only for everything to grind to a halt and become unplayable? can you imagine the rage? can you imagine the sheer number of threads titled "FAIL, SOE, SHOULD HAVE TESTED SERVERS BEFORE BETA".

Some of the people on this forum are either just ignorant or need a healthy dose of reality.

You know that Morto in my native language means a strange thing.
Never thought Vanu embraced necrophilia.

Ew..

It's more likely that those in Tech Test are too busy playing to post much here and cannot speak of any Tech Test issues here. That pretty much leaves you with a lot of left overs who are upset that they are not in Tech Test.

Playing or Testing?

Because most people just decide play instead of actually helping by sending in bug reports whilst playing.

Yeah but playing is part of testing. Even if people don't write their own feedback to the devs that's a good sign someone is having fun isn't it not? You're more likely to be vocal on the forums if the game sucks, but if you're enjoying yourself you're too busy playing to care about that.

Not to mention SOE will get plenty of internal metrics to read off of. Beta is to design and test all the meta-game mechanics and by simply being there you're helping them a lot.

I definitely plan on testing the relationships between bullets and people.

It boils down to this. Everything we do know we've talked about and discussed. Everything we don't know has already been speculated and discussed. And finally everything that we know from playing the game we can't talk about because of the NDA.

We need to wait till we can talk about actual gameplay.
