Beta Keys coming here!

it's only a bonus. They send the email keykode and what is the problem if they give a dozen keys even on social? it's a way like another to increase the hype and let be known on the internet.

 

Well you don't know how pissing off it is when you check forums and comment posts everyday for few months and see that some guy with 1 post saying 'lol, I like it' got a key or a dude without any posts took it from FB or TW..

Anyway I'm off. It's my last post until I'll get my key (not counting suggestion threads about the cards/game)

 

Well if these are the extra keys then why the didn't I get one vie email? I signed up months and months ago. It's goddamn unfair!

 

Thousands of people have signed up months and months ago. They don't give them all keys at once. It's a lottery, the only completely fair way.

 

Oh so that's how they are doing it.

 

Yeah, their servers can't handle a huge number of people signing in and playing games all at once. They're doing it gradually. They've mentioned this a few times in various posts.

 

I understand now.

 

another good way i think is to give an extra one to the helpful people already in beta that do a good bug report. For their friends

(i't s a good idea, but i admin i have to gain with this because my friends are quite active hehehe).

 

I'm am not having fun in the least. Especially when I signed up so many months ago and been following every interview/article you have done for the media.

 

as other thousands people have done, and they sent less than 300 betas

 

It's all about grabbing a variety of players, I imagine. Keys posted via social media or forums will grab the hardcore guys, and keys sent out via the signup will probably grab a lot of casuals. I'm willing to bet most people that signed up that way just left their email and left, and aren't super active on the forums.

 

I'd prefer if they'd just send out the betas quietly via email. This is painful and I'm sorry and can't help it but it makes me mad.

 

Very true. Hell, I haven't posted really anything, but I'll check in and see what the news is a couple times a week. I thought I had a beta spot secured when I found Card Hunter at PAX and signed up. Of course, my email is ridiculous and not exactly easy to spell and hard to read when hand-written, so I've probably missed out on that chance.

 

Sorry, that was pretty far from fun.

 

Yeah. And it's not a good way of making friends.

 

I dunno. It seems to have brought quite a few new people to the forums under a banner of camaraderie and a friendship forged under mutual grief and disappointment. Sounds like a good way to meet new people and make some friends. Although it might not net the devs any friends.

 

+Necrometzer hahaha. I think you are right!

 

I really don't understand all this fatal fanaticism towards getting a damn beta key.

I mean I'm not saying that I'd say no to one but do you guys really want to be playing a buggy, unstable beta release that's missing over half the content and likely crashes every 5 minutes with you probably having to restart the game all over again once it's released?

Isn't it better to better to just wait till the polished version comes out rather than staying glued to your computer screens all day while destroying your F5 key in the process?

On another note I think it's a great idea to spread our beta keys on twitter and fb. Like some else already said it'll be interesting to draw in a more casual crowd and get a fresh perspective on their views of the game as opposed to all the hardcore fan boys and girls here on this forum.
