The picking is completely random to keep everything equal.

Join date, number of posts, likes, etc. don't make you a better MW fan, nor tester.

Allright first I appreciate that they are bringing us the game free to play I can't help but feel like I got screwed along with other players.
The majority of people who have been supporting and watching and waiting for this game to go live have been stuck waiting with a giant yellow pending yet people who barely know what the name Mechwarrior ever referred too get full access right off the bat.
I understand that they wanted to see what the learning curve was could have gotten that information alot easier then denying the people who have supported the Mechwarrior community for well over a decade.
Personally I am sick and tired of waiting for the game devs to finally come out with "ok the game is ready to go sorry we didn't take any input from the true fans of the game but instead used a bunch of newb hampsters as a testring platform."
Personally I think i am going to go play something else for the next 6 months and show as much interest in playing and supporting this game as they have shown in allowing true Mechwarrior fans to play and be a part of creating Mechwarrior online.

Pardon me, but you are calling people out for not supporting the game and you have 2 posts? Seems a bit hypocritical don't you think?

I have a, pretty much unreasonable, anger on for not being in beta. Like I said.. I know it's unreasonable. Doesn't help that almost all of the more noticeable people in the community I've come across are already in... Sort of gives you the feel that the "it's all random based on criteria" thing is a load of crap.

[Vodkavaiator]

Beta testing is not a method of rewarding long-term fans or supporters, rather it is a means of finding and removing bugs.

I don't quite understand how people have come to the conclusion that they are focusing on new players as opposed to old fans as well.

Remember, people can't talk about being in beta, so people who meet whatever "True Fan" criteria you have might be in, but are honoring the agreement they made.

Nice troll. 6/10

That is simply a misconception on your part. Nobody is getting favor in the invites based on being "more noticeable." It is random. The only factor that has been stated to matter is completion of the BETA profile to 100%.

Apologies, but how do you know this if they're under NDA and not allowed to talk about closed beta? Source?

[CookieMonster]

I swear trolls are starting to pop up everywhere in these forums now a days.

I bet he's the same guy with a new account that's been posting troll posts in the forums for the last few days.

Alright after seeing 6 of these I have to join the quit ******** team.

I don't even have an internet connection from home right now, everyone I live with just ended up unemployed out of thin air and I've done less whining.

This is just like the beta on World of warcraft.

*blizzard announces Beta*

*moments later on the forums* WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I AM NOT IN THE BETA!!!!!!!ONE!?! I have played game for *insert number of years here* and I SHOULD be in the beta! I'm not saying i'm entitled but...


If you get in the beta, grats for you. If not, oh well, lots of people are in the same boat.

[Draxern]

Troll troll troll go back under your bridge.

So you're going to take away something you haven't even given them... just to spite them. What are you, 10?

[BadWolf]

Well to succedd MWO has to draw in many players and not just rely on the 'core' btech fans.

[Gherrek]

And lets not forget that the MWO team has absolute proof and evidence you've been playing for X number of years, have played the boardgame and spent many hundreds of £ or $ on the books, models, the games and expansions so they can catagorically KNOW that you are a hard core Btech fan.

Yes they know all this.


And if you belive that i've got a bridge to see you thats in a Saudi Arabian desert, very cheap.

Warnpeace, and anyone who thinks like you, are wrong. I've been supporting this game, in various ways, hehe, from day one, and I'm still not in. It has nothing to do with your support of the game, or your knowledge of it, it has to do with your computer. The devs have to work from the high-end to the low-end, and they have to invite people in a little at a time for not only game testing, but stress testing. You simply need to have patience and wait.

By the way, for those of you who are angry about not getting into the Beta, suck it up, because I'm not angry and I've been here from the beginning. Would I like to check the game out? Yes, I would love to pick out all the minutiae that's NOT BattleTech and give it to the developers. Am I angry about it? No, because I understand why I'm not yet in beta, and I'm honestly fine with it. I will wait my turn to kick all your butts, hehe. j/k

Ahuh, sure.

Because sadly many people don't value their word at all? I don't know why they let it out so easily. But they do. Most of them don't share any of the actual content of the testing... But few seem to be worried about keeping their acceptance a secret.
