Today in the Beta
« on: January 27, 2016, 07:18:09 PM »
Had a really nice conversation with HiTech. Really standup guy, made me feel like my 2 cents mattered. Thanks, Dale!

Watching him personally work the bugs in the online arenas during the alpha gave me confidence in the final product.

He's been that way since the game started fellas.  Its always perfect when he's finished (gotta include his crew also).

It's been that way on all the Betas we've went through since the beginning.

Speaking to HT IMO is the inverse of reading his posts - reasoned, articulate, and engaging. 

Typing.  Sometimes not so much.  Haha.

I hope that the MA in the beta really starts to pick up soon, be great to have some large number fights going on with the new beta, not only for the fun, but for HTC's sake, to see how it performs with numbers going at it.  Be great to see HT et al in there like the old days when the game was in beta, as well as the AH2 beta.

I guess he could put up a message AH2 closed for the day and a MOTD go to AH3 and try it. :x

Maybe see you in there Ed.

RVflyer - that's a really good idea IMO, a MOD or pop up in the main game once HTC is ready to push it a bit more on the regular populace of players.

The pop up, when HTC is ready to push beta, could even go the route of other companies and have a note:  "If you do not wish to see this pop up again, download AHBeta here: ????????link????? and login with your current AH2 playerID."   :police:

That will get some lazy procrastinators off their butts.  Also, should give some extended feedback, with a simple poll during initial login:  framerate above 15 FPS?  below 37 FPS? above 60 FPS?  This would be very useful considering most of the information would come from systems that are running default settings, and could help with default configurations.

I think one thing about this game I respect the most is the communication between the players and the developers. Whatever your problem is from billing with Carrie, a technical problem with Roy or a game gripe with Dale. This will listen and work with you. You don't find this kind of service anymore. I give them a five star rating everywhere......
