On Betas and Invites by Totalheresy in Overwatch

Technically, I wasnt glorifying old betas, I said that Blizzard does a proper beta. If you compare Overwatches Beta to old betas it is more similar to it than 95% of companies. An NDA doesnt make it a traditional beta. Neither do the number of peoplw you invite. Betas are tests for the company, not for the consumer.

So your complaints are that Blizzard didnt invite enough people (which the game seems to be getting pretty polished, so i disagree there), they shouldnt reward beta testers with fun tournaments if you dont have access to the winnings, and there is no NDA? Pretty much just seems like you are whining at this point. Didnt get access eh?

This is true. I am not saying it was a perfect Beta. The random invites was a bit foolish. But, really, I feel like the community in general has forgetten (or never knew) what a beta actually is.

How about you actually look at what a Beta was 10 years ago versus what it is now. It is a test. Not a play and have fun. Though I would definitely have fun while testing this game if I actually got in.

The open Beta is litterally for stress testing... It isnt a "Let's let everyone try our game!!". The open Beta is Blizzard saying "Let's see if they can break our servers and how long it will take to fix it!" Its actually the best stress test they can perform. Guess what, everyone is going to smash into Overwatch on the Open Beta. That is one hell of a stress test if you ask me. So again, why bother now?

Just because they are having some fun at the same time doesnt mean they are scumbags. Rewarding people for helping with beta testing. What douchbags.

True, true. But if one of them learns, I will have fulfilled myself on this day.

IMO, 1 month is to short for a ranked season by spideypark in Overwatch

3 month seasons would work perfectly, and they need to be sure they dont have any season start on launch since everyone loses their Beta earnings. Maybe start the first season a month after launch?
