Expected outcome...lol

 

[enzo_gt]

Has anyone actually gotten into a match yet?

They can always make projections, and then they should rent more than what they think they need. You can buy cloud server space that's used as needed. There's no reason for them to not be ready.

That's not how it works, you can overload from too many simultaneous connections alone, it's not about space at all. That's how DDoS attacks are pretty much unavoidable. This is why you have staggered launches in the first place (which is practical for an actual release).

 

[Kaako]

Now it just closes the application automatically after trying to log into game servers...not even an error code lol.

 

[crimzonflame]

lol Floe is hilarious

 

[Fitts]

The only time I've ever had a beta go flawlessly was Bloodborne. That was probably because it was by invitation only.

 

[BokehKing]

shit probably won't work until tomorrow.

Or it might never work at all, the first things said by the dev's about the beta is 'it's a stress test"


I for one won't be expecting the character delivery system to work flawless later in the beta either.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Some people in here sure as hell need to figure out what a beta is and that it is not "hey play the game early for free".

Pretty much.

Oh I'm certainly stressed

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Huh? Different speed projectiles are normal depending on which button you press.

Not sure if someone already clarified, but we meant that suddenly the heavy projectile was the fastest and the light was the slowest. Everything just seemed to be reversed. The medium was also the speed of the heavy.

 

[Dubz]

Wish I could just train if servers are down.

 

[Bob White]

lol Floe is hilarious

Skunk Jelly Bean > floe

 

[ryan13ts]

Can't say I wasn't expecting this, but this is the whole point of the beta so can't really complain. Hopefully it'll be up for a bit before the servers go down for maintenance. Otherwise, we won't be playing until tomorrow.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

I'd wager 90%+ of the people who were looking forward to this did not do that.

I definitely didn't. I'm not upset though. Better now than release day.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Its a beta but come on.. its not solely relying on if we can connect or not is it?

 

[Nick]

I'm having Master Chief Collection flashbacks.

 

[bob_arctor]

This is to be expected. Still disappointed but it's all good. I can't ever quit you, Street Fighter.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

So my beta has a lock on it and it wants me to go to the psn store. I'm gathering that this isn't weird and others are seeing this too?

 

[KidA Seven]

I'm dying watching Floe's stream

 

[Willectro]

The question is... how long?

Until EDT goes to bed I'd imagine.

 

[ironmang]

My TE2 doesn't arrive until tomorrow afternoon so just in time for the game to start working.

 

[Nuts.Pistachio_Nuts!]

Listen I know it's a beta. But getting past a title screen is not asking much lol.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I'm getting Master Chief Collection flashbacks.

Totally comparable.

 

[robotrock]

I'm getting Master Chief Collection flashbacks.

It feels like the BF4 launch and the MCC had a baby...and now we're the babysitters.

 

[Valnen]

Its a beta but come on.. its not solely relying on if we can connect or not is it?

The whole purpose of this test is to break the servers. That's what a stress test is, right?

 

[Dubz]

Getting on USF4 until fixed.

 

[Mechazawa]

I'd wager 90%+ of the people who were looking forward to this did not do that.

I'd be willing to take you up on that bet.

There is no way the majority of beta players are from PSN purchases.

 

[Karsticles]

That's not how it works, you can overload from too many simultaneous connections alone, it's not about space at all. That's how DDoS attacks are pretty much unavoidable. This is why you have staggered launches in the first place (which is practical for an actual release).

Can't they stagger the beta?

 

[K.Sabot]

I'd be willing to take you up on that bet.

There is no way the majority of beta players are from PSN purchases.

I'm willing to bet 90% of people don't preorder with intent to scum out a beta code and then cancel their pre-order.

People pre-order the game because it advertises an incentive to pre-order. It's not a matter of platform.

 

[Kaako]

Floe goin in right now ahahaha. Sigh...still waiting patiently and trying. Just fucking once man, common.

 

[LuuKyK]

lol @ DSP having a meltdown over not being able to connect.

 

[RedEther]

Official website still says the beat is offline

 

[Kintaro]

Ah, the Beta Cycle.

The people complaining they can't get on and the people defending that its a beta.

Meanwhile, in the middle, this was the main marketing tool used to entice people to pre-order the game. So far, nada. So...the needle probably favors the people who would like to play since they went through the trouble of putting down money (not any people who scammed Amazon).

 

[TomShoe]

Fuck it, going to bed. I'll try again tomorrow morning.

Can't they stagger the beta?

That ruins the point of a stress test.

 

[I-hate-u]

@floe's stream right now

... It's a beta to avoid shit like this happening day one.

 

[Omega]

Some people in here sure as hell need to figure out what a beta is and that it is not "hey play the game early for free".

people expect a fully fledged, polished AAA experience out of early access indie games.

this should be no surprise.

Except you can cancel the preorder and get your money back.

Or the game could have launched like this and you would have wasted $60?

 

[malfcn]

DSP got 1 frame of practice and it froze.

 

[SargerusBR]

lmao Floe

 

[K.Sabot]

... It's a beta to avoid shit like this happening day one.

Then why wall it behind preorders?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Then why wall it behind preorders?

"Wall."

Lol.

Amazon doesn't charge you until the game begins to ship. Don't think it can really be considered scamming unless people never cancel pre-orders.

 

[BY2K]

Better it happening here than at launch. That's what Betas are for.

 

[HabeeNo]

dead

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Has anyone actually gotten into a match yet?


They can always make projections, and then they should rent more than what they think they need. You can buy cloud server space that's used as needed. There's no reason for them to not be ready.

Played one match and that was it.

 

[K.Sabot]

"Wall."

Lol.

A leaky wall, but a wall nonetheless.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Better it happening here than at launch. That's what Betas are for.

It'll still happen at launch, it's just that the whining will be justified then.

 

[I-hate-u]

Floe

 

[robotrock]

Then why wall it behind preorders?

Because there will be more beta tests and who knows how those will be distributed. This is an easy way to get a bunch of preorders for a game that's nine months out.

 

[Nori Chan]

floe is out of control

im crying

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Played one match and that was it.

Was it laggy?
