Ares Splinter Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 do we need to wait until 2018 to try this beta test or is there a plan for us to try this game before 2018 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybrex Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 There will be Alpha anytime between Jan - May of 2017 for those that pledged for it. There will be another opportunity to purchase Alpha access when they open their website store for it. EDIT: I stand corrected, expect Alpha in Q2. Beta will follow closely behind the alpha release.

rmhenn Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Normally (every time to my knowledge), the alpha and beta stages are not to "try" the game before the official release. These phases are instead supposed to allow more people and their own unique ways of playing the game to help discover bugs and imbalances in the game, hence the term "beta tester" and "alpha tester".

Very true. And it's essential that everyone realises this if they are going to participate in the alpha stage of development. If you are not interested in shaping the game in some way by testing an incomplete product then you can get burnt out pretty quickly. I know I did with games like Elite Dangerous. Beta should be offering us something very close to a stable, feature complete game. And this is why I that that for many people, it would be better that they wait until at least the beta stages of the game dev and perhaps even a little after release. I wonder how much disappointment and hassle would be avoided if people remembered this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been said many times that Alpha will not happen until after March. Saying Jan-May is misleading. Alpha is expected in Q2 of 2017.

Natalia Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 From what is known, we assume first quarter of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I have it: https://youtu.be/VVkbdfxiKxM At about 17:40 Exact. In the video he says: in the first half of the year. Then he says: and nothing before March. (17:55) Schoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuadDib Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I hadn't seen the DM21 GAming video with JC, thanks for sharing. My input on this topic can only be that I really want to jump inthe game asap. I know you guys the feel the same. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 ^ Ha, if there's someone who doesn't... they're crazy! It seems like most people want it done right though, rather than rush them to alpha. So that's good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoff Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Do you have a source? Not saying you're wrong, just for future reference. In the KS comments (too many to sort through) and in a livestream where JC answered a bunch of questions. Don't have the time or desire to go hunting for it. EDIT - NVM, someone linked it!
