I plan to play beta and start the first "what I hate about gw2" thread.

Having Beta tested NWN 2 for Atari it was neat to get a sneak peek at the game but the testing itself was grueling and not fun.

I dont intend to beta test another game ill wait for the finished product after the bugs are worked out. Hopefully theres no pressures to release it prematurely full of holes and bugs.

Finished product after all the bugs have been worked out. Have you ever logged into guild wars. It is full of constant bugs and glitchy holes and crap.

On Topic: I would sell my mother for an invite to beta ofr GW2

*wonders where in the hell the poll is*

I've accepted every invite and played through every beta I've ever been asked to test (even that terrible game Fury) lol!. Half of which were NcSoft games. I don't mind the fact that my account will be reset least I'll get to reserve the names in most cases. Not really something that would deter me from trying the game out way before its released.

If I get the opportunity to play the BETA (and lets face it, I probably won't because I'm Australian and Anet HATES us...) I'd play until the day GW2 comes out!!!

GO beta! I would definetely go... i hope it wont turn out to be the "This isnt what i expected" type of game..

Games are never free from bugs they are always being worked on until the publisher and dev's abandon them but in the beta phase they are terrible. Also in most beta tests you dont get to play the whole game just pieces of it. A sneak peek may be worth it to some but I would rather spend my time on something fully playable.

wont accept.
wont play it
and
certainly wont buy it.

mazey vorstagg · Jun 06, 2008, 07:48 AM // 07:48

I will play it as much I can. 1

1) I simply cannot wait for GW2
2) I want to help anet by providing as much feedback as possible
3) I need to assess if this game will be good enough to release me from my wow subscription

ilipol · Jun 06, 2008, 08:22 AM // 08:22

I didn't get the chance to enter the GW beta so I hope I can make it in GW2... and getting a feel of the game is way more important than loosing your char at the end of it.

Back on topic:
Id love to play the Beta, even if its only to experience the great granddaughter of Gwen/Pyre kill everyone in post-post-pre-searing

So why on earth are you posting here ?

go back to wow

As for me I would love to beta test GW2. Had a load of fun in betas before now. EG SWG Jump to Lightspeed.

NickelPlate · Jun 06, 2008, 01:39 PM // 13:39

I'd do it. Getting first hand knowledge and experience on the game mechanics and good farming locations

would definitely be an advantage in my book.

Nightmares Hammer · Jun 06, 2008, 01:46 PM // 13:46

Never been in a Beta before... But sure why not.

Rico the Spirited · Jun 06, 2008, 02:09 PM // 14:09

You know, you can put beta tests on your resumé. "I helped such-and-such company by beta testing this. I found this flaw and that flaw. Look how 1337 I am." So if your real life alter-ego has anything to do with software engineering, definitely go for it.

I would join up, play it, whatever. But I also want to make it scream. Come on, how many chances are you going to get to inflict horrible, horrible atrocities on a game you love--and get commended for it?

The Red Messenger · Jun 06, 2008, 06:21 PM // 18:21

im definately buying GW2, but not interested in the beta.

i prefer to play the finished product...i dont like all the bugs in beta versions

Tingi · Jun 06, 2008, 07:09 PM // 19:09

Of course I would play in the beta. I always like to know as much about the gameplay as possible before actual release.

Zarn · Jun 06, 2008, 11:28 PM // 23:28

I worship Anet, and what they've done giving us GW... and once beta comes, they better let me in... I've been dreaming bout it since the first time they ever said they were re doing the game...

Cant wait for gw2

Crom The Pale · Jun 07, 2008, 01:44 AM // 01:44

I would love to play the Beta for GW2.

They can reset my char but they can't reset my mind and erase all the knowledge about the game and its mechanics.
