Sad times fellow non-beta people.

*watches as more people get accepted*

Oh well...

<raises hand>

at least my friends are in so I'm not totally in the dark...

Sindustry · 2003-04-03, 04:12 PM

Yeah, I have a couple friends in it too. I'd still rather play along side them though.

orogogus · 2003-04-03, 04:16 PM

*nod*

still sucks, I'll cross my fingers for 'ya if you do it for me.

No crying over a game for me...besides, if you don't get into beta, you can at least look forward to a more solid and more populated game than the beta testers got. I'd take that tradeoff anyday. Plus, my computer can't handle PS quite yet.

Venoxile · 2003-04-03, 04:22 PM

I'm not crying.. I didn't even sign up for beta, i have things to do with my life for a month and a half. Who am I kidding? *Jumps out the window of his 6th story apartment*

Wait this is still closed beta right?

Smokejumper post on official forums

We'll have 11,000 "exclusive" beta testers by the end of this week.When we launch Open Beta (soon), we'll be adding something like 20,000 *more* testers.

Most folks will be in the game...but we simply don't have the manpower to weed through each and every application to hand-pick entries. We did that until we had about 1700 players...but it's all been batch sorting since then.

We look at system specs, geographic locations, etc. as a basis for letting folks in...not how long they've been following the game.

yea its still closed and no i wont be crying. im just gunna be mad that i have to wait even longer without even lookin at it...

Vis Armata · 2003-04-03, 04:40 PM

As long as Hamma keeps on posting good screenshots for us, I'm happy.

Venom · 2003-04-03, 04:51 PM

I didn't even bother applying.

Tobias · 2003-04-03, 04:54 PM

Neither did I.

Navaron · 2003-04-03, 04:59 PM

That spec thing is BS. I have a better comp than 98% of the beta testers.

Camping Carl · 2003-04-03, 05:01 PM

I didn't even bother applying.

I didn't either. Somehow, I'd rather see the finished product. Crazy as it may sound, I don't really mind waiting.

Civilian · 2003-04-03, 05:06 PM

Call me a skeptic but I agree 100% with Nav.

Nav and my systems fall somewhere in the top 1% of the testers that applied for the beta, and people with far lower specs have been accepted before us.

At this point I've almost reached the point of indifference. I'll be happy playing Desert Combat until the games release.
