Was skipping cbt worth? (merged topics)

    ya.. I can't even get passed character select screen. I was able to get ingame last night but not at all today. Also, last night the lag was so bad that i couldnt even get passed the tutorial mode.



    Stress test successful, indeed.


    They should just make this a prolonged closed beta or something instead... Saying this is an open beta makes them look kinda bad.

    That was one of the first things I said but it was over on the steam forums. Who knows, maybe there was one, maybe there wasn't. They thought they were ready we will never know.


    They did some repairs on the servers, twice today even. If you get dced or isn't connecting to the servers restarting the game seems to work, for me anyways

    Yeah, actually after typing that and relaunching like 4 or 5 times i was able to get passed character select. Still not able to get passed the tutorial so i just skipped it. I really wanna see whats in their premium shop but it wont open, i click and click and click but nothing ever happens.

    No luck with the shop myself, I click every now and then to see if it opens but nothing happens. I didn't have any issues with the tutorial after the repairs, it was extremely lag on the first day but everything took like 5 seconds to happen.

    Are you sure that you know what Alpha and Beta are for?

    An Alpha Version, by definition, has all the gamemechanics implemented, but is not content complete. So many art Assets, cutscenes etc are missing. The game might in some cases only exist with boxes and rudimentary Art content.


    The Beta is a content completed version of the game, so everything should be implemented in the game which users will see on the final release.


    Games like these would not be very fun to play in an Alpha Version, and since people are already missunderstanding the Beta Test with an release it would be horrifing to have to come back from people calling the game super incomplete and not working in almost every area. Games are usually tested internally all the time. It is impossible to produce a game without playing it along the way.

    Some things cannot be tested, like the Server stress test. You might be able to simulate it, but a simulations rarely fully imitates the real world. So using the Beta to effectively test servers is a good idea. What is sad is that some people seem to expect a full functioning game, although this is clearly labbeld as a BETA Test.


    Of course, most of the game is already produced and works fine elsewhere, but localisation is a hard adjustment that almost never works without initialy problems. This Beta helps to isolate these problems and tackle them.

    Alpha has features that is missing from the final version before release.
    Beta has the final version before release, but its tested by players so it is functioning as intended.

    So What Misuto is speaking of is true, but basically, this is what a beta is meant for lmao.

    There was already a closed beta a few years back.


    Which I assume could be considered "Alpha" testing due to there being many missing features as compared to the current Open Beta released it's at now.


    The game is yet to be commercially released as fully playable at the moment due to the amount of bugs and server crashes at the moment due to the player overload. (Which is to be expected for any new game).


    So, was there technically an Alpha beta test phase? Yes.

    yeah i click na tenebris tons of times and restart tons of times still wont let me get into server.....




    EDIT] at the time this occurred it took me 25 times restarting client to finally get in... and about 45 mins or so. Just saying.

    Unfortunately, with the release of many online games, there have been companies mislabeling their status and thus changing the meaning behind Alphas and Betas of the games. Like what Erwin, Misuto, and some other people (forgive me for not remembering) said, this Open Beta phase is perfect for testing out the issues that they have been running into.


    I completely support their decision to skip out the Closed Beta phase since there are many releases of this game in Korea, Japan and other regions. This game is truly going through a Open Beta phase and I want to thank the development team as well as their operations team to handle the constant stress of the servers. I hope that this enables them to write / build better load balancers to make the game more stable upon release.


    I'd imagine that they foresee an increase in playerbase as well when the game actually goes in launch mode and they advertise this fantastic game. Go team!

    I would say this was truly an Open Beta for the game itself, since most everything within the game is working fine (as much as I can tell from never had played the game before). Yet, this is clearly an "alpha" or "stress" test for their server infrastructure which has proven to be unable to handle the number of people wanting to try the game out (at least for NA). The EU servers appear to be a bit more stable, whether is this is solely due to populations or having a different datacenter/host, I do not know.

    As we all know our version got released with a 2 hour notice prior which is already quite unheard of.

    Not only that but when the first notice got posted it was quickly deleted for some reason only to be posted again 30 mins later.

    We were told that at the launch we would have starter packs but for now they are unwilling to have a cash shop.

    This tells me that if you would have starter packs at launch they were not even thinking of going to wipe anything

    yet now we are in a state that we don't get the starter packs but also a MAYBE wipe.

    On top of that youtube channels said they had 'e-mail contact with GF' that the game was supposed to be released at March.

    All this together really makes me believe that the forum post was an accident and they ended up going with it.

    Thoughts?

    I don't think it was an accident. If anything it might've been bad communication between the different departments. They didn't post the release one but multiple times.

    The release itself was still shady though. You shouldn't trust youtubers (I think I know which one you mean) as they often just want attention. We most likely will get a wipe due to no cash shop being available.

    I usually don't trust them but right now it would be another fitting piece of the puzzle.

    It could indeed also been bad communication.. Whichever it is I feel this wasn't planned like this.
