Yeah. . . and six months from now it's people's right to ***** about why the devs ignore everything they say on the forums. . . not realizing its their own damn fault for not making sure they only voice actual, legitimate concerns and aren't just whining like a bunch of spoiled schoolchildren.

Well yeah. That's exactly any gaming forum I have ever been to anywhere no matter who makes it or who's a fan. If you expect any differently many days of disappointment lie ahead of you my friend.

Ugh. . . its what ruins the internet. LOL

That is the internet. Venting all of one's frustrations even if it means coming off as a whiny, self-entitled, a-hole with impunity is a temptation many many humans can't seem to pass up.

But is fun angst .


Honestly my angst is about the possibility of not having the money to get a founders package. I'm suddenly the only person employed in a household of 4; the shock of this hit home when I couldn't pay my internet bill.

I hope Founders pack will be avaiable soon for me as an European !

You can buy a founders pack........though sounds like you'll be playing on NA servers because of it over EU......if they have difference servers like that......

I hope not; I hope we're all on same continueous world and not broken up by regions......

The game is going to be available in about 5 weeks if you buy a founder's pack. Probably not too long general availability after that.

It's not the end of the world! For realz!

Hmmm........the open beta might start in July......but there is no release for the game..... and you'll get early access with the founders........but to say it will be out in 5 weeks well......

[Proteaus]

I assume founder packs are going to be pre open beta only . As far as buying them which puts me in a fix , because
I really need to try before I buy. The way games are these days once you get burned on a prepurchase you try
not to get burned again .

[krironman]

i just wonder how much I'll have to shell out for the founders pack

[Xendojo]

The whole Artemis thing killed my angst, i was so let down!! But really, get over people having angst because it's GOING to happen!

[Celros]

[StarColonelBicen]

If i get picked, i get picked. it's not the end of the world. I've beta Tested games before, it's not that big of a deal. you go through and monkey around with everything trying to spike a bug, so you can report on it. thats what it's supposed to be. I"m just waiting on my Damned Marauder Mech!!! Thats all i want for christmas...

It's remarkable how many people believe that beta access is some sort of gift or reward.

Participating in a beta is not about "getting early access", it is about lending your time and energy to testing a game in an unfinished state. It is about filing error reports and trying to replicate said errors so the developers may find a solution. It's bug-hunting, and in a bad beta it can be incredibly tedious and at times frustrating. Beta-testers are the eyes and ears of the developers, not the "lucky ones who get to hone their skills before anyone else".

A lot of us probably have a bad itch for driving the mechs in MWO, and getting beta access will cure some of that itch. The only problem is that a prerelase or even newly released game may contain enough bugs and errors to be quite un-funny.

I don't know how many game forums I've visited after a game has been released to see the incredible rage if there still are bugs in the game. Are these people really good testers? Capitalized swearing isn't what I'd call constructive feedback.
