Timothy Posted October 27, 2017 #1578 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I've been in a few in the past. Just through interest in games, seeing that there's an alpha/beta that needs testing and signing up early. But for those, it's just been a bit of a fleeting interest in the game and to see how it plays, not really much of an interest in really wanting to help the development of the games. It depends if you're using PC (specs of your system)/Console or otherwise, where you are (for server specific tests) and whatever other factors the developers consider vital to testing any specific build of the game. It could be one specific GPU or OS/console for which they need feedback, for example. Here's a good site I found quite recently which actively lists games which want people to test them: https://www.alphabetagamer.com/ Sea of Thieves is the first time I've really had a big interest in the final product. It was about a year after I signed up that I got an invite to the Technical Alpha. I haven't really been active with many in the past, this is the first I have an interest in the final product. So yeah, it's easy to get invited to Indie/A or AA games. But AAA games much less likely as they have the budget to iron out a lot of the bugs before needing to look at a semi-public (Non-disclosure) Technical Alpha phase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F3SS Posted November 13, 2017 #1585 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I am so ruined. Last week I discovered they’ve finally put Rome: Total War on iPad. Do you realize how dangerous it is to have such a game in your lap at all times? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bothered getting it fixed (it's been 2 years now) and instead use a laptop for the net and a PS4 for (mostly) bite-sized gaming. To be honest though it's not the same game in my eyes. Near the beginning there was a sense of server community and you met and teamed up with random people levelling up that ended up becoming friends. Now it's full of *******s and trolls and anyone levelling up is doing so alone and as quickly as possible. It has lost its soul. I will always love raiding though. I'm a dps machine! I'd love to have that original experience again from any game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that. And I would never seriously accept something like that, even if it is close to Christmas. The only reason I haven't fixed it is because I'm a first-class procrastinator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
