lol wut. We had to register (ie volunteer). Just because someone asks about a reward doesn't mean they are selfish human beings.
Yeah Kabam, next time do the exact the same thing you did this time by asking for volunteers!
Too many of the me generation expect something no matter how trivial the task they are invited to perform.
A chance to test changes to champs no one likes plus an opportunity to waste resources and time in a way that doesn't affect the main account at all and effectively play a game we mostly like for twice as long seems like fair compensation for the horrible hardship and effort we must endure after accepting the invite.
No one was forced to accept the offer and nothing was promised to elicit your acceptance.
Remember when people would do something useful for no other reason than to help others?
I wouldn't call it childish, but having been involved in many closed betas, and some even from the other side of the fence, I can tell you that it is often very deliberate and not simply an oversight that there are no rewards or direct compensation for participating in a closed beta. You simply do not want people in the closed beta who are there for the rewards or require the rewards to participate. You want people who are there because they want to test and motivated to test for no other reason than to provide useful feedback.
I've been in restricted and controlled closed betas, I've been in more "open" closed betas, and I've been in open betas. Restricted closed betas with nothing but self selected volunteers are always better and more productive. It isn't even close. On a scale of one to one hundred, if the restricted closed betas average a 90, the relaxed closed betas average a 12, and I've never seen an open beta higher than 3.
It kinda does though. Especially when OP got verbally angry about there being no rewards
To me it is selfish
But so what being call selfish
Isnt it great to care more about myself first then other people.
Those units are only available on the beta server.
Still nothing on this? I mean I get it's a beta but wtf. How do I test things if you take all my resources and lock me from upgrading them so I can use them in the same instances I am currently running.
There was a post in another thread by @Kabam Miike I recall that stated they would eventually be granting units and resources on the beta servers but they initially wanted players to test the champions exactly as they were. It is entirely possible that many players were explicitly chosen because they had Rhulk or Luke Cage at levels other than the maximum. This is normal for MMO closed beta testing. They want players at all levels playing the champion at all levels.
I can see the logic here, but shouldn't I at least have the option of seeing how he would perform at the top rank, since that's the rank I'd actually be using him at? Let the guys that have r4 Rulk and run content at that level test the r4 Rulks. Let people that have r5 Rulk (or can have one now but chose not to because he's awful) test the things they would normally run. Any champ at r4 seems pretty bad to me right now because of what I'm accustomed to doing as far as dmg, etc.
1. You'll presumably eventually get that option when resources become available according to @Kabam Miike .
2. If beta testing is something you are interested in doing, my recommendation is test what they ask you to test, in the way they ask you to test. Test other things also if that's what you want, but test what they ask you to test. I have no direct knowledge of how Kabam intends to run their beta, but I have been privy to how other closed betas work. Testers are usually chosen randomly to represent certain criteria, but beyond that testers are often evaluated to see if they participated in the way the devs wanted. I've seen players that don't get flagged to not be reinvited to future betas.
Test at R4, provide your feedback, then wait for the resources to become available to rank up and test again, would be my recommendation.
Thanks for the feedback, but what I'm trying to test is whether or not r5ing this new Rulk would be worth hanging on to my science cats for. I can't test that without using him in the harder content. As you stated, that is likely not how they want this tested, so I will just decline to participate if that data would be irrelevant to them. I'm definitely trying to use the Red Hulk, which is what the beta is for, but I didn't know I was only allowed to use him in the ways they specified without the option of ranking him up, awakening him, etc. That seems kind of pointless since they should know many people didn't rank them up because of how poorly they performed. They should encourage us to rank them up and use them the way would normally use our champs.
A mod actually PMd me when I asked about ranking up Rulk before I had access and told me that I'd get to rank him up without using my cats on the main server. Why would they state that if they don't want me ranking up champs? Seems like you're stating different objectives than they currently have, but since you reply more than mods do then that's what people are going to believe.
Your response makes me wonder if my first bullet point is somehow invisible on your computer.
enerji refeill:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kabam asked for volunteers by sending out an offer to a controlled subset of players. While a limited number of players were offered an opportunity to participate, those players had to explicitly volunteer to participate. Not everyone was given the opportunity to volunteer, but every beta tester had to volunteer to test.
The devs will be doing in the work, looking at how the player base is using the champs and where they find it effective and where they're struggling to use the modified abilities.
Remember that big "nerf" patch awhile ago (don't remember the exact patch number) that dropped SW, DS, and some others down a few tiers, bet you wish those champ changes had a beta like this one with player feedback before chages were appled/not appled/changed.
