I don't think you're really Garrus.
I think it's probable that you're not even really a Turian.

Garrus wouldn't have time to make 36 characters.

He's too busy doing calibrations.

same i made a new email account because of that it feels so good to have 0 junk mail

I'm so stoked that it finally has a release date, I didnt even know about the whole beta at all lol >.< ive been trying to keep from torturing myself too often with the teaser trailer.

[ShOrty]

any way to review the agreement terms?

I wanted to go back and check on a few things, but it seems the only way to get back to it is to sign up again

[Harry Hearing]

I actually do hope forum actvity and when you put in for the beta count, no disrespect to those who just joined that would really beta test, but we all know more than like 90% of the new people who applied just want the DLC free.

Yeah, i think it would be a good idea to check forum activity. Being a newb that probably doesnt make sense coming from me, but I think it's just the fair way. If i was a vet i wouldnt want idiots to get it just by clicking a button, when I had been really active and worked on improving the community.

90% is a bit harsh. I myself recently joined but am one of those , who is experienced at finding and reporting bugs. Do with every game I play . Though most of the companies just say we will look into it . For example on Fallout New Vegas if you use the archemides II the animation can get stuck(still hasn't been fixed) . so rather then 90% I'd say 65% . Plus my friend who sighned up for the beta does that for a living lol.

That would be a shame if they mistakely choose people who would get Dawnguard for free and not even help Bethesda in return.

[Victoria Vasileva]

as for percentages, I would say they should let 50% veteran forum users and 50% new players for varieties sake.

The whole point of random selection beta testing is to get the widest range of possible playstyles.

They want there to be people who will look at every plant they walk by to see if it is floating or not, just as much as they want people who will ignore that stuff and just play the expansion like they bought it.


The people who are just playing it are the ones who will run into the more game-breaking bugs fastest, while the ones who check everything will find the bugs that are annoyances but can be dealt with later.


Edit: reading earlier posts, I believe that the guy who said tuesday for beta codes is probably right.


even if bethesda sent out the codes earlier... we would have to wait for MS to update the marketplace. That only happens on tuesdays.

That's a fair deal.

I don't know if this question was out before, but if we get the emails now do we keep quiet or tell everyone they're sending it out?

Sadly you have to keep quiet.

Non-disclosure agreement says no telling anybody if you get in.

Plus, do you want 500 people begging you for info anyways?

Thanks I just need to know for sure.

[Craig Martin]

Apart from being an absolute headache to read, as well as trying to kiss up to people who won't actually read it, you do realise that the Beta isn't for PS3, right...?

ya I know I have an Xbox to socom isn't on the ps3 and its more of I hate glitches since I lost 20+ hours to one. To all the beta chosen save a lot

[Amy Cooper]

I dont know about anyone else but i have only entered 1 from one email i think it is wrong to enter with more than 1 email

Tell that to the other people I know, one of my friends, if he gets it, he will try to make everyone on his friends list jealous and throw it in our face...he made a few fake accounts just to boost his chances

[Stephani Silva]

Socom isnt on Xbox it's on ps3 sorry

[i grind hard]

We all know he just wants it for free and not even help Bethesda in return.

[Shelby McDonald]

Thats kiiinda sad....... i only created this account recently to in fact find out about the discussions involving Dawnguard and what peoples speculations are. I don't usually register to a lot of forums but have found a lot of ideas useful!

[celebrity]

Dawnguard won't be offered on the marketplace, so would we still have to wait until Tuesday?

[Sami Blackburn]

You aren't able to apply for the Skyrim beta codes anymore.

[vanuza]

Dawnguard won't be offered on the marketplace, so would we still have to wait until Tuesday?

It won't be offered on the marketplace, but you will still have to enter the beta key on XBL.

The download will be stored on the marketplace even if there is no way to access it without the code.

[Juan Cerda]

It would be sweet to have the beta now that my summer vacation has just started! I'm okay with waiting a little, though as I still play Skyrim and create new characters all the time. Mounted combat also made the wait a little shorter Going to make my nord a werewolf soon so I can take on the vampire lords (are they confirmed as an enemy or are they unique to the Dragonborn/PC?), gargoyles and whatnot with brute power and new perks.

[Danel]

I dont know about anyone else but i have only entered 1 from one email i think it is wrong to enter with more than 1 email

I did the same. I'm not going to say it is wrong for people to do it, but it is morally wrong, because they are one person, yet they are entering with 3+ email
