Do you think "beta testers" are actually searching f

Change name to - skyrim stalker
Actually when they said they've won the beta I just went and checked if they were serious and how long they've been on, this is like once, hardly stalking :dry:

Well Beta Testers usually play the game through AS MUCH AS THEY CAN, and once there done they report a list of bugs to the developers. Which should help them. Usually beta testers cant finish the game.

I assume you are talking about...what...10 people? Do you realize how many people are in that forum? That small% of people that Beth is talking about are from thousands and thousands of applications.

Review some of the earlier posts made by myself and others from the Beta. Maybe it will give you a warmer and fuzzier feeling.
I'm talking about like 2 or 3 people not dozens, as the people who did say they won said they were lying a second later and left the forums immediately whilst some who had won talked in detail about what was in the e-mail then went to the private forums and downloaded Dawnguard.

I'm pretty sure Dawnguard will be riddled with bugs due to how Beth selected the beta testers. I know for a fact many of the ones selected only signed up to play the beta and not actually look for bugs to improve it. I predict that either Dawnguard will be bug-infested by release or they won't have enough time to fix all of them and dawnguard will be pushed back.
Sorry you didnt get in beta.
Yeah sorry.

No, they said it was US only and I'm international.
And yet non-US players got into the beta.

Seriously? Then how come moderators and other forums members said it was US only. Not to mention, the few who said they got the beta were all from the US.

I'd be happy to know that it wasn't US only.

2 or 3? Are you kidding me? You are slamming the Beta testers and talking about the amount of reports being made off of 2 newbie boasters from last week?

What really posses you people to post this misinformation?

Yea this and reports from other members, in retrospect there was like 50 chosen for the beta and very few of them have said they have said they've gone and found bugs.

I hope that I'm wrong and majority of them have pulled their weight and helped out rather than play for early release and a free copy. If not and they just wanted it to play, Beth really shouldn't give those few a free copy of the game.


Just looking at the screen names on the threads and posts in the Beta Section, there are about 80 to 100 people who are actively posting issues (in that there is more than one post from them) and probably at least that many who have posted one thing they found. There are about 20 people who are super active on the boards compiling things.

Sounds like an active Beta Testing Group to me.

What? You got an email to participate in the Beta?..Hmmm. let me see your green card!

You are still playing with speculation, friend. Your numbers went from 2 to 50 in 4 posts. I'd give it a rest. I am in that forum every day. There is information being gathered. Believe me and not some rumors by a couple of kids that still do their homework with crayons.

Then I'm probably wrong, I'm surprised to see that over 100 members were given the beta, I assumed it was much lower. As well they are only 1% so that means over 10,000 people entered. I thought it would be like 3,000 seeing as when you signed up you had to have an Xbox, a forum account, xbox live, over 18 and knew about the beta. Which really narrows down the amount of people who could enter.

I have no idea I only thought so because a mod and other forums members said so, unless they were misleading people.

theres alot of hating here, mostly by people who weren't picked and pc/ps3 players who will have to wait a bit longer....don't judge us for beths choices and blame us for things out of our control.

many of us are testing and reporting bugs (30+ page bug thread) some are intentionally attempting to break the game and doing better QA testing then the paid QA team at beth.

One thing everyone needs to remember is that we are reporting not fixing. We find temporary "fixes" or ways around some bugs but we can't fix any bugs for the release and i'm willing to bet that beth won't either and will probably wait until all platforms have the dlc to release a patch.

When the dlc is released with bugs don't blame us, we've already made them all known to beth

What makes you think some people haven't lied about being 18 or over?

I doubt a lot are actually trying to find bugs and report them, but what can you do.

That doesn't have anything to do with people being under 18. Believe it or not there are actually a lot of people under 18 that are pretty mature for their age, if that is what you are implying.

I was suggesting people like under 13 or something, and yes I know that there are some under 18 that are reporting bugs which is why I said "Which makes me think SOME people aren't reporting bugs".

They sold like 3 to 4 million 360 copies, coming up with a couple of hundred beta testers would not be that hard. My counts are an estimate, but I was surprised myself to see that many names over there.

I can't wait for Dawnguard to drop. The public won't ever be able to see all of our hard work, but at least we can hopefully stop getting railroaded by pessimists or pissed off people who weren't chosen or couldn't be chosen. This is why I rarely came on here, speculation always seems to beat facts. Have fun spreading rumors, guys. I'm going back to the mature forum.

"The mature forum", I like it, a good little spittle to leave on. Ironic that you chose the word "mature".
