KR Open beta authorization?

[zeeZ]

I accept the temporary tie and the fact that we both suck at making up numbers until I'm done counting.

[Kaey]

I accept aswell.

Yeah but that was a stupid thread IMO, tbh most of them have been since the end of CBT3... the only interesting thing that has happened since then was mark going to Leipzig.... since then not jack squat...

[Kaey]

The thread was posted the 16th... and it's still active - and in the end, it still shows people have strong doubts about how Aion is going to be revealed to us.

** I see what you mean now... I wasn't reading carefully enough. I thought you meant that thread was posted at the end of CBT3 lmao - but still :P it brings up the obvious doubt factor

[Becto]

I'm personally overjoyed to see they are finally going into open beta. Means that Aion is coming closer and closer to release there, and as such closer and closer to release here. So I'm not gunna complain about only Koreans in the beta, I'm just overjoyed to have read open beta starts there soon. YAY

Preview events? Delusional.

Plus they aren't betas anyway, you won't be able to really play the game.

[Steffco]

Hmpf... Why the Korean are allowed to play the game in a lot of Betas and now in a open Beta and all the other people in the World have to get a preview key to play preview and dont get any chance for a open Beta...

Thats unfair. Its better to start a OpenBeta for all!!!!

[justamemory]

what if they way a korean only beta goes makes aion 24692486024097824907.234907827 times better than if it was soiled and desecrated by dirty america?

beta= work, we TEST the game and REPORT to the devs
Preview event = we play the game for leisure.

Hope this clarifies it up.

I for one will not get a preview key, thats just my luck speaking. So i'm with the other thousands of peeps that will be waiting for OB NA/EU. Just skip the preview thing for god's sake and bring on what the people want.

I'm sure there will be alot more preview keys coming. Also there's no real need for betatesting in west. The game was designed for multiregional release, thus there won't be any real gamebreaker-bugs when the translation is applied.

[Shoee]

the preview seems like its coming out slower and slower (thats probably cause i have less and less thing to do) T.T

If the Korean version is "the original", and most if not all of the devs are Korean, then it make perfect sense to limit the people you have TESTING and giving FEEDBACK on the game to those who will understand Korean.

Get the game sorted first, as soon as possible. Language localisation can be done whenever.

beta is for testing and making the game better and ready for launch, let them get on with it and wait for the polished release.

I hate the waiting, but I'm not gonna complain. They're not delaying on purpose, they want this out as much as we do, they just want to make sure it's as good as possible when it is released. and I'm happy to wait a bit longer to let them make sure!!

If the entire developer team consists of korean folks I can almost guarantee Aion won't be a huge success in the west. If they truly wanted to make this a global game they should have included western developers to ensure differences between asian and western players would be recognized and game would be adapted to cater for both markets . We actually know it doesn't work to simply translate and be done with it ( Lineage II ) . This works both ways ,by the way : if a western development team wants to make a global game they need to get asian folks on board of that team as well.

Preview event = we play the game for leisure.

My experience from guild wars - with regard to previews - isn't that good ( in fact the entire preview thing for that game was abysmal ) . It's a demo of the game and only shows very small parts . In addition : nothing of what players were saying during or right after those previews was taken into account or listened to . The final release simply nerfed a class into oblivion and it took them years to fix that . It was the - now being made famous by Funcom - "just post announcements /pay up and shut up " approach .
