No rewards for beta testing?

Hear this Kabam, next time ask for volunteer to participate testing events .Don't just pick someone who just cares about his own benefit rather than improving the game for everyone.

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!

I'm happy to be involved.

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?

Wow complaining about rewards for beta testing is just sad. It shows the difference between mature adults and immature adults/kids.

I’ve tested for Wow, Rift, Destiny 1 & 2, and more and the reward is playing the game you enjoy.

That being said a Title would be cool.
Maybe:
-Tester
-Beta Summoner
-Pillow Hands
-Hulk BURN!

Meh, I think it's more mature to expect compensation for performing a service than it is to say "I'm just happy to be here!!!". Testing these champs means we aren't doing things to further our actual accounts. I don't expect anything for it since it's not mandatory, but the idea that we should get *something* for our efforts isn't childish at all.

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

Isnt it great to care more about myself first then other people.

Those units are only available on the beta server.

My view is that it's fair that there are no Rewards. It's voluntary, not mandatory. You get to be a part of helping the game. That would be enough for me. You also get to see the changes before the rest of Players.

Why should u guys get any rewards? I thought the game was supposed to be fair. Since not all players got a chance to test these 2 ex-pillowhands, at least have the dignity not to ask for rewards!

So anyway, why didn't I get the gold and units to play with on the beta server? I want to r5 Rulk to test in ROL but they didn't give me my real gold or the free beta gold.

Some of you guys crack me up. You complain about people complaining.

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.

If it had a prize, it would be better

Avinamohseni

However, we are wasting time for this and helping the cabam afterwards could be considered awards

Even for testing, 10 to 50 can be used
