Are you giving away your beta-keys?


(k0k0nat) #1

I’m just curious:

Are u giving away beta keys to curious players?

I have been ask today if I could spare a key, but I didn’t give it to him.
Not that I am greedy, but I knew that this person would have become a frustrated player and he would probably leave the game after some hours.

Are you waiting for better days to share your keys with the community or constantly giving away all the keys u got?

I have given away about 20 - 30 keys so far… Out of those people… 0 of them are playing now.


(prophett) #3

Have given away around 20+ keys as well with about 2-3 occasionally playing as of two weeks ago.

i am a gready basterd.
i did give some keys to my friends.


(k0k0nat) #5

0 out of 3 here…

What comes to my mind right now:

I am rather be careful, because it feels like harming the game when you give away beta keys at the wrong time.
I don’t think that people give the game more than 1 chance to convince them, the won’t even check the game from time to time after updates.
Feedback was very general like " don’t really like the aim/movement".

This is why I sit on my last keys like gollum.

I think I have given out 1? And people keep asking me for keys…

I don’t get the ‘smurfs’. Waste of keys.


(k0k0nat) #9

olo… I just thought “some of my ppl died giving DB a 2nd chance” :smiley:


(Glottis-3D) #10

some waves of keys did seem like a waste of potential players.

Given out the three keys I’ve ever got my hands on. They all play when there’s a new patch out to check it out but they’re all in the same boat as me pretty much. Sees the potential and have high hopes for the game but it’s massively “out of tune”.


(PixelTwitch) #12

I got a key from a friend a long time ago…
I used that key but never played for a long time and over the many months I had 6 additional keys in my inbox… Then I got a second key from my own beta sign up. Recently I was given 6 more keys from Nexon via email and 3 for the other account. The additional I got from people that had spares.

I’ve given out like 4 keys and none of those people still play. Neither do I hah, maybe I’ll give this a try after a few patches/months.


(Mustang) #14

I’ve given out a few to old friends, people that I wanted to play with, and those that have asked nicely and shown more than just a cursory interest (not these with 1 post and the like). But for the same reasons, i.e. none of my invitees are willing and/or able to play the game in it’s current state, I’m reluctant to put off more potential future players.


(BomBaKlaK) #15

Give maybe 10 or 15 keys and maybe 2 or 3 are still palying sometimes…
Boring maps, boring obj type, make a boring game …


(twincannon) #16

haven’t gotten a single key. :expressionless:


(Violator) #17

Gave my spare key to another old clan mate, he played a couple of times and quit :frowning:


(Kl3ppy) #18

I gave away 6 keys, 0 are playing. So I keep all the future keys until I think the game is good enough to give away my additional keys.


(fzl) #19

same here i 6ive 5 keys away… the guys playing 1 day and tapped out…

Only ever had 3 keys to give away, gave 2 to old clan-mates and 1 to the son of an old clan-mate (all ET). One of them played for a while, and liked the game, but doesn’t have much time for gaming these days, the other 2 have never been able to drag themselves away from BF4 for long enough to give it a go as far as I know.

I know quite a lot of people from my DOD days however and I’d never even consider giving them keys because they just wouldn’t “get” DB. Having to shoot someone more than once in the head to kill them would seem completely weird, tell them you need 5 HS and they’d think I’d been at the magic mushrooms.
