Considering an open beta before release. Timeframe is another week or two.
Great news.
Considering an open beta before release. Timeframe is another week or two.
Not to get too sidetracked but Steam Tracker might be better to see the actual total people playing the game: http://steamcharts.com/
Basically have < 100 people playing a day. You can see the jumps in players on table release days. And it will be pretty interesting to see the jump after DX11 is released.
But the chart also indicates the PC user base is pretty small. Which could explain one of the reasons this wasn't priority over the PS4/XB1 releases.
I think an open beta would have the (intended) side-effect of people playing tables they might not own for a couple weeks, then getting them "turned back off" when the beta ends and ending up buying something they "fell in love with" either for lighting or other reasons.
The problem I see is that the amount of overhead it would take to implement a large-scale test, the roll back to production release probably equals or outweighs adding a nice selection to the existing pool.
Either way, me wants, me wants now, me wants bad!
Thanks Mike for chiming in!
It'll be out with Jack*Bot on April 24th.
Probably.
Like I have a say in the matter.
The new table is on Friday, May 1
source of information?
We slipped releases back a week due to TAF taking longer than expected.
If I do an open beta, it would be more like. DX11 is out, try it out, report bugs. But you would still have all your normal unlocks.
