magma86 Posted October 21, 2015 Why cant they just have the same "test-system" as the new unreal tournament so everyone can get in? Same thing with battlefront. They opened it up to everyone. Now they have good stats and can fix mayor bugs in it. I know doom release date is more far away than battlefront, but cmon. Thats how it should have been done, imo. I mean, i dont think resources are the problem. Just let people play and test it. If they are going 2 stresstest the game, why not do the whole job? Im one of those who preordered wolf:TNO before 26:may 2014. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Captain Toenail Posted October 21, 2015 I'm in. Unfortunately due to the legal waffle I can't actually discuss it here. Oh well. No doubt videos and screenshots will be leaked on imageboards by people anyway. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Jaxxoon R Posted October 21, 2015 Since these are basically prototype screenshots, I'm making extra special care to hold onto them. Doubly so since the way the weapons function may differ in the final from these descriptions. I'd advise everyone to be on the lookout for anything new if they can, in the event the Alpha cannot be run post-release, and for the sake of documenting this game's dev cycle. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

wheresthebeef Posted October 21, 2015 The guy that leaked the pics of the guns has his username plastered on the top right; he (or she) really should've done more to block that out, because they will probably be banned by the time the alpha starts. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

RestlessRodent Posted October 22, 2015 There could be the obvious watermarks which fools may blot out and think they got away with it, but then there could be the hidden ones along the rest of the image which is difficult to be seen. That image is gone now however. For historical purposes, you might want to record and/or screenshot and just wait until the NDA contract expires to post images (if it does expire). 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Buckshot Posted October 22, 2015 If there wasn't a NDA... It'd be fair game. Apparently there is, and abiding by it is obviously safer than sorry, and respectful. The more who don't not only hurt themselves, but hurt future chances for alpha considerations for other titles for everyone. Why bother if people are just going to disregard your rules, right? Not to mention inadvertently causing unwanted public attention to feedback on something that isn't even complete yet and ready for mass debut (especially in a alpha state). Wrong early impressions might be intreputed from unfinished work that may radically change by the end outcome, and leave a stigma before it's actually finished... shit spreads like fire in such a social and offended world these days were idiots that didn't have a means of preaching a opinion on the net 20 years ago now do to millions of viewers. So aside from those wishing to tarnish their dignity and good word to id software (who is going out of their way to let you test their yet-to-be-released upcoming title early) and deliberatetly disobey a legally binding contractual obligations to test said-software, does anyone know when this alpha might be preloadable on steam... I'd assume (hopefully) before Friday. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted October 22, 2015 Oh calm down. As much as companies would dearly love to have you think otherwise, there is no moral component to signing a contract, and there is no immoral component to breaking one. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
MrDeAD1313 Posted October 22, 2015 Agree with Buckshot completely. Why risk totally fucking up something like this up for everyone? And especially potentially give all of us here a bad name as well? I hope no one decides to try and be sneaky and end this as quick as it began.. On another note, here's my question. I have the beta on PS4 as well as PC. I got an invite the other day for the steam test, so obviously I'm in for the PC alpha. The issue here is I went into my account management settings on my PS4 just out of curiosity to see if the Doom Beta license was changed due to the alpha being out and it now says 'Doom Closed Alpha' instead of just Doom Beta Access. Maybe I got in to both? I don't know where to ask this question, but if anyone has the PS4 beta you should check it out in Settings/Account Management/Account Information/Services List. This just leaves me to almost assume that I have alpha access on the PS4 too, but I only received an email saying it was for steam and got no key. It's supposedly tied to my steam account now. Strange part is, I got the email twice..? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Expand it's more that I'm concerned about early stuff being misinterpreted as being broken or "needs more work" to the masses than morals. People be quick to pass judgement on in-progress (or the wrong thing entirely) projects and confuse them with the end result. especially in a industry of early releases and Kickstart betas or greenlight-indie developments. seeing it more and more as "ugh, it's not complete... so it sucks". after the entire uncharted 4 review fiasco last week from vg247, I think it's a legitimate concern nowadays: http://www.vg247.com/2015/10/14/letter-from-the-editor-an-apology-to-naughty-dog-and-uncharted-fans/ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Buckshot Posted October 22, 2015 Of course, with all that I just said... yes, there's plenty of games that even upon completion (if even completed at all) are atrocious turds, and alot of companies use limited alpha and betas for marketing hype and consumer interest.... but I prefer to remain painfully gullible and optimistic. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

AirRaid Posted October 22, 2015 For those complaining that they didn't get an alpha invite, there is a passage about it in a recently posted article - Marty Stratton said: I mentioned in our opening remarks, we’re going to be doing a few alpha tests coming up relatively soon. They’re pseudo private. They’re out in the world but… there’s a bunch of people who pre-ordered Wolfenstein a while back, that’s a pretty big group actually, so the alpha test, this coming up, are… we’re going to do a random drawing from that beta group to fill those slots, and those will grow in size. It’ll start really small and they get bigger, and then everyone who pre-ordered Wolfenstein will be in the beta test that happens closer to launch in the spring. Expand So if you didn't get into the first test this weekend, they will be expanding the player base and more invites will be sent for future tests. Everyone who pre-ordered will have access to the beta. Also, the invites are apparently a random sample, not based on location or anything. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

MrDeAD1313 Posted October 22, 2015 Just the email telling me I'm invited. On the FAQ it says I'll have to enter my key to add it to my library to be able to install it. I originally thought it was going to be automatically added to my library until I read this just now. Anyone know the answer to this? EDIT: Guys sorry lol I went back over the email for the 100000000th time. It'll be added to my steam library either later today or tomorrow. I'm getting anxious and over thinking little 'what if's' lol 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
