[Ser Yorick]

It has begun.

Fingers crossed and what not.

 

[Andreus Makaryk]

Excellent.

I only signed up recently, and I have a newish computer, so I doubt I'll be selected. The one thing in my favor is I have a laptop with a mobile derivative of graphics card, so I might be useful to test for mobile chipset support (which a lot of games still don't have, which is surprising given how affordable and popular laptops have become, even laptops capable of gaming).

 

[Lavi]

Fingers crossed.

 

[Phil]

I'll just wait for the full version.

Fingers crossed for a consol version. Doubtful, but I will dream.

 

[Matt]

Anyone heard anything about this? I signed up but know the chances are slim at best.

 

[Kaeb]

I'll be waiting till launch, hopefully by then I'll have a less shittier system then I do now.

 

[Jaxx]

I signed up a while ago. I can only hope.

Actually having a shittier system might increase your chances, because devs need to figure out where to set the minimum and recommended system requirements. Because of this, testers with older computers are probably somewhat more likely to be picked than people who just bought a top of the line computer yesterday.

I'm fully aware of that, where in my comment do you see me listing my current rig as the reason for not wanting to test the game?

I've tested multiple times before, I know exactly what it entails. The reason I want a better system is for an improved experience for when I eventually purchase the game.

Chill, man. The way you posted made it sound like you weren't going to bother testing because of your computer.

I'm chilled, where exactly did you get the impression I wasn't?

 

[Phil]

I'm guessing the way you type/word all of your posts.

 

[Kaeb]

I've only been back a day and posted like twice. He stated he thought I wasn't testing because of my system, I said that wasn't the reason. I'm chilled, Nexus thought I wasn't.

Back on topic.

What's the big deal?

Words don't always convey meaning well over the internetz. I drew an invalid inference. Meh, life moves on.

Oh, the things that happen when I go away to work on a long post in Word...

Precisely.

Hey.

**** you, pal.

 

[Andreus Makaryk]

Hey.

**** you, pal.

LOL.

I thought you were only one person behind the handle, not plural. Another invalid inference? :P

 

[Jake]

We are the Many.

This testing sign-up is just going to give people an excuse to play it before everyone else. I mean, really, who actually wants to literally beta-test a game?
