[QUOTE=Silvanoshi;512096]The low population isn’t great for those of us looking to quickly find games, that’s for sure.
However, it is to be expected when there hasn’t been a large scale key release for over 3 months. As has been mentioned before, we’ve got a list of functionality that we want to get in place before inviting larger swathes of the community into the CB.
We hugely appreciate those of you who continue to help test DB in the meantime. I look forward to getting pummelled by you lot whenever I manage to get time to play at lunch or in the evening (should hopefully be getting cable internet installed soon, so you’ll see more of me in-game later in the day :)).[/QUOTE]
Have you not even considered closing down the closed alpha and only opening at set times?
I am in a number of other Alphas and Betas that do this with much lower number of players that manage to remain active…
Saying that most other games are being patched every couple of day and according to their developers we are on the same build as what they are. Makes it more interesting than this “semi released” structure we have going on in here. Was in a game the other day with the devs and they found a bug/exploit in the map. They closed down the server and patched it there and then (took around 3 hours) and we was back playing with the bug fixed.
Yea, I am frustrated…
The more poor patches I see with more bugs than fixes and silly design choices that break things to the next patch, I have really started wondering why we do not have access to a broken dev build if we want it?
People like me would run around empty maps for hours each week and play with a couple of other people from time to time. Even if it is “unplayable” some of us in here can see past that and actually provide valuable feedback. Even if it was just brought up to the current dev build once a week.
I don’t know guys… I have just started recording for my “top 10 most anticipated PC games of 2015” and during this time I have looked and played lots of the games on the lists and it really starts to hit home how dated DB is going to look this time next year. I honestly want you guys to smash it out of the park. After all the talk we had about communication we had recently, it would be nice if it actually started to happen. It would not surpise me if you guys regretted letting anyone play the game already and that you wish we would just all leave and let you get on with it. If that is the case just tell us…
Whilst Dirty Bomb is one of my most anticipated games going forward. I would be lying if I said anything other than its got to be one of the worst handled Beta/Alphas I am currently part of.
Don’t really know why I bother -.- lol
