Thread: Love the game, but I hate the idea of set beta times... | Forums

    Love the game, but I hate the idea of set beta times...

    It's really frustrating that we can only play for 7 hours max. I think that the beta servers should be available 24 hours/day. I often only get to play for 3-4 hours and that isn't enough time imo. As I said, I love the game but hate the fact that I can't play whenever I want.

    Remember this is a closed beta, the game is not finished yet, the game is only in version 0.5.5. The dev team gets more then enough feedback data from a 7 hour span. Don't worry at 6pm est tomorrow you can get your fix.

    Yes but it just doesn't make sense considering the amount of data usually gathered during betas. For example, did you know the amount of things that usually get checked simply by logging onto a beta? Just by logging on they can tell when the servers will be the busiest, that way they can allocate bandwidth and cut down on it on times when the servers aren't as busy. They can also tell the average of user time spent on the game just by you logging on and then logging off. They can tell everything from the amount of time spent on the menu to the matchmaking wait time. They can also test numerous other things. I guess it just doesn't make sense to have a beta imo if you aren't going to test all of that. As I said, I love the game but hate there being a set playtime. Pretty much every other beta for me has been on 24/7 or on an entire weekend. I hope Ubisoft changes it so that I can enjoy the beta more and they can collect more accurate data.

    I can see where you're coming from, but they do need time to update issues and fix the bugs. It would be nice though if they could at least extend it for a few more hours. A lot of people have to work around that time so they don't get much time to play.

    I completely agree with you ace. I have only been able to play maybe around 3 hours since the closed beta went live. I really enjoyed what i played, but due to my job can't make the times that the servers are online.

    They'll be stress-testing and gathering usage data on the server(s) during the open beta. This closed beta is for trying to see if the **** thing will even work when you fire it up. Pay close attention to class interaction, UI glitches or improvements you can think of, and map design. Our suggestions and concerns are actually being looked at, unlike some other "betas" which are really just previews of the finished game.

    At the very least they should make it at a better time for people E.G: the morning.

    They should put in a little time slot in the mornings and a bit more time on the evening time slot. So That way almost everyone can get an hour or so in regardless of work, school, etc. Personally I wish the servers were up 24/7, I love this game lol and i hate it when i have to stop playing for even 10 minutes let alone a whole day.
