Subject: Did anything ever happen with the Beta Test?

5 out of 6 pediatricians can't tell the difference between a resident vagabond and a local hobo.

After Bungie.net's invitation to a survey messed up, which I was invited to, they invited anyone who had signed up to take another quick survey, which I took.

Since then, I haven't heard of anything regarding the beta testing. Has nothing happened since then, or did I just not get chosen for further involvment?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Only after we ban Bricypoo.

That has nothing to do with what he was asking... This is why reading then posting is a necessary thing to do.

OT: I haven't heard that anything has happened yet. Of course those selected were probably picked up in a black van driven to Bungie studios with 0 tools for communication.

Bungie also said that this isn't just for one thing.

Seriously? I'm really surprised I haven't heard about any of it yet. Do you have people sign Non-Disclosure Agreements or something?

Hypothetically speaking, if it were to be a beta for [retracted], Would Beta testers be able to play it via xbox live/PSN/computer?

Or,would it be like on-site testing for a major project/testing a new game?

I figure this is the time to ask a question that has been bothering me about this whole thing. Will the different testing only apply to those within driving distance of Bungie Studios? Or are there some parts of testing (Pre Beta Testing) that people like me who are farther away can still participate in?

I asked this too. :p

I would hope there would be off-site testing and we just have to fill out a survey/leave feedback after we play.

Some will require people to be local, some will involve people outside the area.

You look like a man that enjoys paying for plane tickets and rooming for burritos to do local testing.

ken... did you even read the OP? He obviously already did that. Read before you post...

  • 09.29.2011 11:36 AM PDT

Feel free to send me messages, please be willing to wait 6-8 years for a reply.

1-7 hours if you at least tried to make it readable.

Immediately if you are Yax, Telec, or legendary.

Never if you are mythic, you guys smell funny.

I doubted we would get much involvement anyway besides very late beta testing, even then we will be a massive minority more than likely.

Do people outside the US get picked too?
The sign up is available to us so I don't see why it should not.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Since the game will be released outside the US I'm assuming they will require some tests that involve using it in other countries, not quite sure what, language, networking, stuff like that I guess. Not sure if they will need any members on here to test it though, they might do.

Out of interest would it be ok if you posted one or more of the following:

How many people have been in tests
The nature of the tests that were held
And the country in which these tests were held/the testers originated from?

I'm just curious as to how the beta tester program works and how it's progressing.

Actually that's a interesting question, are there NDAs?
Although there could be a NDA about the NDA ...
