Reporting the thread means reporting every single fucking post in that thread, obviously. Only real men have the balls to do it.
43 pages of posts? Fuck that. But i have to say, after the idea was planted into my head, I had to struggle not to report tricksters 3 year old OP just to piss everyone off. I guess it wouldnt be as bad as ,say, reporting krenzos post about releasing 2.0.
Because you might end up with something that happened during the last test, where half the people wanted to test out stuff and figure out what could be causing bugs, while the other team tried to win. Nothing terrible about wanting to win, but the changes that were getting tested really didn't have much to do with generic gameplay stuff, so it kinda interfered with people testing out stuff.
Lock testing server but unlock beta. So only set people(testers) can join. But any one can try the beta. Might get more feedback.
It's closed in that you have to ask for the password. It's not even hard to get the password; you just post in this thread. Assuming that we did just make it open (and I'm uncertain if it's even possible to remove the password from it), people still wouldn't know about it unless they came to the forums. To top it all off, we've have better showing with this "closed" testing than with open testing.
Yeah, that was the reason I stopped caring about the tests years ago, they always lacked a supervising adult.
We dont want anyone to discover the extremely unpredictable passwords. Reminds me of one time i just barged into a pug because I guessed correctly that password as pugpugpug. It was a good day.
One day when I create a league style pug series and then reveal that you've all secretly been in a quadruple elimination bracket I'll make the passwords actually somewhat random.
