Sorry about ur yahoo account, and I agree I really hate it when people say "so and so made a account just to play and NOT test the beta or you just want to play and not test" I hate it how people assume such BS, sure there are a few out there but I have been here before Skyrim was even announced and yes getting free DLC would be awesome and yes I am happy if I get to play it early but I would love the option to TEST something out, it would make me feel like I helped the company of my fav game make a difference.

I have ALWAYS wanted to make a game or be apart of helping people make on in even a small way so if I get selected it would mean the world to me if I can help in even a small way as a beta tester.

Probably higher than 90%. I'd put it at 95%.

If I get in I will report any bugs I find, if I don't... it's still good, I'll be getting when it's offically released. I agree that you really should only be applying if you really want to help find bugs, and chances are most wont.

Not gonna lie i want to test it really bad. Also it would help to get it for free for this poor college student lol.

i think most of the people on here are poor college students lol. honestly though i think there needs to be a website or something where people sign up pick what catagories of games they play and then developers go and say "yo who wants to beta test our game" and send out invites that way. not this post on facebook thing and say ZOMG HEY GUYS WHO LIKES SKYRIM sorta deal.

I have multiple characters that I plan on playing through and in all honesty I don't expect the DLC to be bug free across all of them, considering Bethesda's track record. I want to make sure the content I'm paying for is being addressed properly. I really want that Beta key lol. I'm really concerned about the Vampire Lord stuff. After I clear through that then I'd head over and help the dawnguard just cus I like to be a completionist and see everything the game has.

Respect to the people that run on beta.
I've tried it myself because I like running through things that still needs some fixes, but I decided to roll-back to normal since I haven't even been able yet to complete the main story line in Skyrim. I have played only 40+ hours since my old computer could not run Skyrim, but yeah now I run Skyrim on Ultra + Texture Packs .

I do it when i see it's not a mess of bugs in Dawnguard.

i beta tested wow's expansion cataclysm. i reported several bugs via the ingame bug reporter. if i know where i can report bugs here i certainly will.

I really do applaud those that beta test this game because they are doing to make it a better experience for everyone.

I hope Bethesda gets people who know what they are doing instead if just getting people from here that are just rushing to get the DLC early and free.

You and me both buddy.

Definitely for those of us that will play this game all the way up until the next one and probably beyond even that.

Lol at the people that have signed up just for free DLC.

More like Sadface at all the people who signed up for free DLC

Indeed.

I literally signed up here 2 days before the DLC Beta announcement lmao.
I came here to actually discuss the game, now it looks like I came for the beta.

Yeah guess your right there or a "rolls eyes"

you signed up the day the dlc beta was announced not two days before that

No. He signed up May 31st. Which was the day before the Beta was announced.

I'm guessing the vampire/werewolf perk trees need to be tested on various playthroughs and will be one of the most problematic things.

under his profile pic says joined: 1 jun 2012 i suppose it has to do with the time zones

Joined 2 AM on May 31st
EST time zone.

Yeah it's funny how many new members have sprung about since the announcement of the Beta with free prizes. The whole idea of beta testing is that you will aid them in quashing bugs and testing the general gameplay, which can result in things like trying to break in-game mechanics etc so for some of you early joiners it's not as fun as you'd think.

I use to test quite actively for WoW and was accepted into the Wotlk and Cata betas although any feedback on balance was barely noticed...

I put my name up for testing and actually jave the intent of testing if i get chosen. I go to school for game design and was required to do 4 hours of testing a week and i find it really fun finding a glitch because i enjoy breaking the game and then seeing it fixed. It gives me a sense that im actually doing something. I will admit i made this account after testing was announced but plan to actually test.

HEY! I didn't even sign up for the beta i just wanted to join the forums.

Nice generalization, just because you've been a member of a forum for longer does not somehow increase your status as a fan or diminish ours. A lot of us signed up for the same reason as you.

I did join because of the beta but I plan to report anything close to a bug to Bethesda.
I care more about qualified beta testers getting the beta than whether I get the beta or not.
However I wish good luck to all who actually intend to help fix the DLC (myself included).
(fingers crossed)
