Who else pre-ordered... - Page 2

An open beta-test would happen after the beta group felt it was ready for release. It would fall between the closed beta and offering it to the public. Do you feel there is an advantage to putting off the general release for that? It would be cool but I cant really come up with a justification other than that.

Personally, I felt that Dom2 was in "public beta-test" right up until the point that Illwinter started working on Dom3.

Ordered day of. I still lurked here from time to time reading posts (my disc is scratched beyond recognition due to the move to Atlanta, meaning no more Dom2 for me) but I was clicking to order as soon as the link was announced on Blues News. A good day.

If you felt like it, you could probably get a replacement cd from shrapnel for a small fee. I've seen other people get one, they are good about that.

Nah, open beta for Doms3 is not necessary imo. IW got his beta testers, and Im sure that they gonna do a decent job.
Also if there will be any bugs left, those can be fixed in the first patch.

Yeah Im sure they will release it as soon as they finish Debating the balances. With Dom2 it only took.. 1 year.. 2 years.. wait a minute, wasnt that going on last week?

Hopefully they will just get it useable and release it. Im not sure if I want any group agreeing on the balances before I get it. If thats even possible.

A little OT, but...

Hey, another Atlantan? We're always looking for more board wargamers to join our group (plays in East Cobb/Roswell), and soon our RPG group (which comprises different folks, probably will end up playing in Canton) will be starting up a C&C campaign.

I know I've seen other people mention they're now in Atlanta so anyone looking for some tabletop gaming please feel free to drop me a line.

Back to our regularly scheduled forum now!

Um, surely that's better than a group disagreeing on the balance?

Open beta tests are not about finding bugs (well, maybe a bit), they are about me playing the game as early as possible

Hehe.

I agree "open beta test" means something like here is the game, bugs and all. By accepting it you take all risks for a destroyed system. See you when the real game is done.
