I love how SOE picks their beta testers. - Page 8

Isn't there a dev in NPU also?

If I am not mistaken:

Would be the dev in NPU.

Schilling doesn't even play much anymore (even after baseball season - name is Ngruk on Unrest if you want to check it out), and has his own gaming company he is trying to get off.

Drow has both a dev AND the baseball player. That's why they get favored in almost every confrontation they've ever had.

Like this one time... (great read!!!)

The best is that even though they have a dev and Curt Schilling they get away with dueling and spamming shit to lag the fuck out of us when we pull contested.

...but this isn't about the fuckbags that are Drow (who have some really decent people, so I kinda feel bad for lumping them all in) - it's about Beta :smiley-wink:

It didn't take them all that long to change MO to have that happen to it, to fix cheesy strats on killing it, yet they couldn't just apply the same thing to Tarinax to solve the problem there, hrmmmm, seems like they just didn't care enough to fix it, imo.

Well hell it MUST be that simple. You are smarter than ALL the devs at SOE put together. I'm sure none of those people with more years of experience than either of us have been alive could've thought of something that easy.

Ya, that is the same toon Emanji outted on the Disso boards as a dev in a post he made there a while back.

The ratonga defiler that "accidentally" got his quest journal updated to allow full DT access for everyone in NPU near the beginning of KoS was also rumored to be a dev, wasn't he? Was his name Arrrr? I forget the spelling.

Sorry NPU, I respect your guild, your people and rep for have really improved over the past six months, and I'm not trying to start shit with you. I'm just sick and frustrated about this beta bullshit and am letting off steam about it.

Fuck you RadarX. It's fucking obvious that if that was done it'd solve the problem. Have you ever been to the encounter before it was fixed? If not, please, just shut the fuck up and quit talking like you know something about the encounter. Everybody who had done the encounter before would agree, 30 seconds after it is dis-engaged if it reset, it would solve the bug. In fact, I even posted to that affect while it was bugged, so just go and fuck yourself.

im it should be like 75% hard core lvl 70s that raid ... maybe 25%(of the 75%) that do the top end stuff...
and the other 25% for the soloers and for people that dont play as much etc..

they should also throw the top pvpers on the server in the invites... its argueable(spelling**) that the leaderboard means something but imo it means that people with the most kills or a high number are the ones that actually pvp get the concepts and understand it etc..

so since im so uber and #1 world wide for kills but more importantly pheelin > faabio i should get my invite too..

i got beta invite KoS and i did the /bug and /feedback a lot and with actual good info sad that SoE doesnt appear to think about who they invite..

sad thing is that a lot of people just get beta invites to sell them =\..

In those, you either had to get beta buffed, and learn your toon and the new skills, or level up to the cap.

Now, it's just form up and raid....big difference.

Besides after reading Lockeye post that Rangers are fine, and parses with his gimp Brigand on the official forms, then saying something as "Want a cookie"...I don't have any confidence in testing that is conducted by said person (and guild)

Well you don't have confidence! We better stop all testing now! Lockeye while human is still one of the most knowledgable and competent Devs I've ever met. Now that means I can go with a) a Developer who has admitted system shortcomings and to my knowledge has never talked out of his ass or b) you who apparently have no idea how they test. How do YOU know they aren't beta buffing? And more importantly WTF does combat revamp have to do with EoF anyways? Do you actually know who any of the developers are?

Oh no Pinski you are right. It must've been that simple. They were just sitting around going "Hmmm we COULD do this "simple" fix so they will stop their bitching or we could leave it alone. Let's leave it alone." Are you really that stupid, that you believe that?
