ICECREAMK1NG WARRIORS 99	Posted - 2012.07.22 18:44:00 - [1] - Quote 10,000...20,000 beta keys merc packs, I'm guessing it's about this no. And I sit here looking at the battle finder with a whopping total of 350 people playing/testing. This alone should tell you all you need to know CCP. Now I really want and hope what CCP are promising will come good, a ground breaking and revolutionary FPS is what we are crying out for. Too many keys have been given out for an extremely early stage beta and, my opinion, selling a merc pack to people to play a beta in this state of development is a huge mistake.

Rains Akkadian BetaMax. 28	Posted - 2012.07.22 19:09:00 - [3] - Quote It takes a considerably large number of registered users to achieve 350 people online on a Sunday evening. When you consider that nobody plays every single hour that the servers are up, some people have lives and families outside of computer games and are therefore much more casual players and when you consider that there is only one map (ok 2) people will get bored and will come and go. Add to that the fact that the summer holidays have begun and many families will be spending time together. As one who purchased the merc pack, I did so because I had signed up to the beta but had never been excepted, I saw the merc pack as a chance to get in and do some testing, check out the dynamics and economy and eventually decide if I'm going to play the game when it goes live. I had to invest 13GBP for that privilege so I do take it seriously and I do try to play at least once a day at weekends but anymore than that and i would simply get bored and stop playing altogether. CCP are slowly going to be ramping up the numbers to slowly stress the games limits and to replace testers who have decided to stop testing. With potentially 6 months of testing to go it seems to me that CCP have a good number of testers and are approaching ramping up the numbers well. I understand that Beta testers feel that they should be part of an elite few and do like seeing more people join the testing program but ultimately you are simply testing a pre release product and CCP will have a testing plan over the next few months that will see things get busier and busier until release.
Tiata Rames 10	Posted - 2012.07.22 19:09:00 - [4] - Quote The majority off beta Keys went to people with Multi acounts. The PS Home as well people kept doing the stuff to get extra. Maybe alot of people just forgot to check their emails or completely forgot that they even had signed up for the beta. I got the Merc pack because my weekend key had run out andit was the best 14 quid I have spent yet. With the hours that the beta is online for as well factors in whether people can get on to play or not. I think it was a good idea to sell the merc pack as people can get the items as well as AUR which in my eyes was pretty helpful as it got me to try out an SMG and the Scout armour.

Ima Leet Imperfects Negative-Feedback 321	Posted - 2012.07.22 19:19:00 - [6] - Quote IMO you cannot justify the numbers you see currently online with it being the same people online all the time. no. people get on and off when they want. this number will reflect that, this number is not a unique number that continues to rise with each new person/character created, but is the current number of people who are actively in a game, not even those who are queued or even just sitting in their MQ. these servers are POS and lag like crazy with over 200 people on, i would hate to see more people on at one time. in fact, when it does get up to 400+ the game is almost unplayable. i have been in many games where the battlefield freezes, i'm allowed to run around for about 10-15 seconds doing whatever i want and then like a dam breaking all actions are performed at super high speed to catch up.... wtf is this? i dont want more people on. if more people saw this then the less would probably see in the game during retail... fix lag, hit detection, aim assist, etc before trying to satisfy OP with more people. apparently there was a visual glitch that apparently added a 0 to the end of the player count. instead of 500 people online it showed 5000, would you just rather them add this glitch back to make you feel better?

Bendtner92 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 369	Posted - 2012.07.22 19:40:00 - [9] - Quote How many do you expect to be online at the same time? We're working with a 24 hour timeframe (well 23,5 to be exact) and a lot of people will only play for 1-2 hours a day and maybe not every day. Tbh I think the numbers are just fine currently. This weekend is no beta event, so only all-access keys get in. Couple that with quite a lot of people are bored with the current build (only one map) and don't play at all.
ICECREAMK1NG WARRIORS 99	Posted - 2012.07.22 19:48:00 - [10] - Quote @ Ima Leet. I'm afraid you don't seem to understand the point I'm making. This is now a public beta with the introduction of the merc pack. There have been too many keys given out and the merc pack should not have been started at this early stage. I definately don't want thousands of people allowed access only to see this beta how it is, think it's terrible complain what a waste of money then go away hating on the game to all their friends. You can see by the numbers now playing this was not a good idea.

Benjamin Hellios Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 259	Posted - 2012.07.22 20:25:00 - [16] - Quote That's the 10 000, don't know about the 20 000: http://www.dust514.org/forums/general-discussion/10000-free-beta-keys-to-10000-vistors-to-dust-514-home-space-on-playstation-home/limit/20/offset/0 (don't know how to link properly, my bad)
Icy Tiger 496	Posted - 2012.07.22 20:26:00 - [17] - Quote Numbers never go under 200. Thats pretty good for a closed beta.
ICECREAMK1NG WARRIORS 99	Posted - 2012.07.22 20:59:00 - [18] - Quote Thankyou for posting that Benjamin. And Icy how is it still a closed beta now the merc pack is available to the public for a few pounds / dollars etc. ?

That's a matter of technicalities, the merc pack is what you pay for, the key for the closed beta comes with it for free and thus the NDA and such still applies. The IGN keys are limited closed beta, NDA also applies

I'm sorry for close this thread but there is not to much to discuss; thread like this only invite the other users to create polemic and spam, etc. Thread locked by GM Kiriap.
