Dirty Bomb will have Public Test Servers.

The world is a much better place when you are clueless you know… Everything is always shiny and new!

Although I’m somewhat confused. This is a great thing, but if it’s a “public test server” then why is it invite-only?

Wouldn’t that make it a private test server? I mean, just call a spade a spade. It’s a private server with people selected on a hand-picked basis and put under a polite NDA. I just hope the folks getting into the ~cool kids club~ are fair on all corners.

Nexon/SD also call never “soon”. Go figure.

Just filled out everything for testing.
Good luck to anyone else getting in!

Please don’t judge this off the forums. It baffles me how much some people post yet don’t have very many hours.

PTS?

You mean they are going to have a test server with new content where a few players test it and give their feedback?
Then they decide whether or not to add the content tested?

Like League of Legends PBE?

Don’t think they’re likely to -not- release content based on feedback, but I’m sure there will be a little more finetuning and ironing out bugs before new content is released.

Things like the invisible train in trainyard’s phase 2-3 might be prevented if patches actually get tested/played before release.

I’ll keep my healthy dose of scepticism though.

So our beta just got a beta closed access, NDA’d alpha? That’s… nice.

It’s more like people will test stuff for bugs and exploits. For example how good are the maps, so they don’t have to change maps months after their release like Dome, how well do the new mercs work. People will not have much impact on which content will be released and which cut, but if the majority says certain things totally don’t work, said things will be changed.

Hopefully it will be exciting stuff like maps, and not boring server changes.
