wwe9112 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I second this motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat666 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 A bunch of us would want that. But like alot of poeple mentionned, Adam and GDS does not want to release a game not ready. GDS never release a game in beta form. Adam mentionned on the tech forum that he might consider giving us more than 2 months at a later date. Im sad the game wont be released thursday but we’ll survive and the ga me will be so good when it’ll come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickman Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I second this motion. x3, I would ABSOLUTELY pay for the full game this second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonafide_Bluffa Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 yeah same here i’d pay double to play rn lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGlewman Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'm on board with this idea too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyhort Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 IIRC Adam has said before that they can't do pre-orders with the way they sell the game. I might be mistaken, though. Either way, he's already considering extending the beta time past 2 months, which would be a great move. I won't ask for more than that, even if I would rather just buy the full game now and deal with the daily patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munit Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Yes please do it. God that would be so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstiles Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I understand why they want to keep it pushed back. But the vast majority of the people who would buy this game day one will be on these forums and could just download updates as he gets them done just like we are doing with the beta. Honestly they should put it out and put a disclaimer on the page saying that this is a pre release version of the game for people who are ok with the bugs to get. And that if you aren't ok with the bugs the full release is on the 14th. I would gladly pay my money to get the full game this week and just download updates as they fix it.

WalterSobchak Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I would be interested as well, but also soul crushingly disappointed if I got a good long term game going and two weeks from now my save had to be restarted following updates or a significant patch when they release the final full version.

OneWarriorNation Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Greydog et al, I completely understand your feelings behind pushing the official release back until the game itself is exactly where you want it. Is there an official post somewhere to this effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means it's been read and considered. I find this very unlikely, but a post being deleted isn't evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionfreak Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Probably won't happen but I'd love to see a pre-order beta. The game is awesome as it is now and I know Adam will get it perfected anyway, he always does. Most of what I'm doing now is trying my best to find obscure scenarios that will crash the game even if unrealistic so I can report if I run into something. I'm actually having fun doing that for some reason, lol. I haven't found anything that hasn't already been reported as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRunIndiana Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I would definitely be behind this! So ready to dive deep into a game that I'm willing to pay the $35 and deal with patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephCurry3 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Honestly I think it's needed to ensure there aren't bugs and glitches a year in and to confirm that there are issues that are cyclical and should be tweaked (eg in CVerse I'm noticing stables form, disband and tweak non stop) Will this be a cyclical issue or is this just the game shaping the world at the start?

HarryFandango86 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I hope we can perhaps get some extended, maybe even just 4 months in game time would keep some of us busy until release day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganRodzen Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Honestly I think it's needed to ensure there aren't bugs and glitches a year in This is my biggest concern. I worry that the two-month in-game demo/beta won't be able to collect enough data in regards to bugs for long-term games, which is what I exclusively play. I've yet to have a save game (in any version of TEW) that didn't go longer than two years... more like 5-10 years on a single save game. Seems like those of us who like these longer games will be beta testing long after the game is released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donners Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The real test is going to be AI roster management, which is something that previous versions struggled with. It was meant to be significantly improved in 2020. Obviously that’s not something which can be assessed in a couple of months; I’ll be very interested to see what people think once the game is fully released.

djthefunkchris Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'm not sure how much work it would be, but if Adam released the game or "pre-game" whatever you want to call it, he is still working on the beta and having to give the beta fixes. The pre-game would need updates as well, and it could potentially take longer if you have to constantly update two program files instead of one.
