je odgovorila na dosta pitanja o zatvorenom WotLK Beta testu.
Ok so we all know or have
an idea that people that went to blizzcon get beta keys when closed beta starts
out, but i have a question about the other people that will get closed beta
invites, will it be some that where in the first wow beta or the people from the
TBC beta (that i was in) or is it going to be a random pick of ppl kinda like
what happened in TBC beta, cause before TBC beta there where comps to get beta
keys + extra stuff which where fun btw.
so yeah How do people reckon the
beta system will work out?
We generally pull from many places
so that we have a good variety of people in the beta. Some of it is random and
some are winners from contests, or specific groups that we want to pull from. We
don't have a specific schedule for you on who we will pull in or when to share
with you, but we'll do what we can to keep people as informed as
possible.
Out of curiosity, is
there a minimum level of experience/total time played that we would need to be
considered for the beta? I've only been playing for about two months, and I am
wondering about my chances of getting into the beta.
There is
no minimum level of experience needed since we look at a broad spectrum of
testers. We want people of all experience levels to be able to share their
experiences with us so that we know where we might need to work on something
more. We don't necessarily want to make one aspect too hard or too easy on
either end of things.
Neth,
will there be some sort of application process to at least show interest in beta
testing? If its completely random, what happens if you pick someone who isn't
even interested? :P
Undetermined on the first question and it
will most likely be the same as with any beta someone gets and isn't interested
in, they just won't play it. We watch our numbers, we see if we have the beta
testers we need, and if we need more, we get more people in.
It's all
dependent on what the development team feel they want to have tested and where
the focus is. We could have specific things we want players to test, or we could
just want to load things up and stress it.
I just thought I'd update this
thread with a little extra information to let people know that there will be a
sign up process when it comes time for the beta as well.
Please note that
that time is not now. Please be aware that there are some scams currently
running that are asking people to sign up for Wrath of the Lich King beta. We
will let everyone know when it is time to sign up
