Well, since this subforum is finally up, I thought I should go ahead, roll up my sleeves, and make this thread early before the multiplayer opens up to the masses (or the beta testers, at least).

~~tl;dr First~~

You mean the first one to actually play the beta, or...?

Also, is it really PC players being able to datamine that is the reason why there's no PC tech test? I was under the impression that they're testing performance on lolconsoles to make sure nothing goes wrong. Then again, you'd think because PC builds tend to be very unique, that'd be a perfect reason to have such a thing.

Saving up all my credits for lots of Premium Spectre Packs. I'm sure I'll get at least one beta test invite among the dozens of Cryo Rounds IV pulls. :hue:

Unlikely. They're probably testing their server infrastructure and general gameplay and for that they don't necessarily need the PC. And given that MEA has been postponed quite a bit my guess'd be they're simply not done with technical QA by the time the beta comes out. Releasing the beta to PC in that state would mean getting flooded with bug reports for things they're already aware of, which is hardly useful.

They're probably not exactly heartbroken to avoid any datamining this way as well, though.

Good call, InstaShark , a worthy thread.

What's the betting on when the beta drops?
and due to NDA we may strictly not be able to discuss much beyond who we bump into anyway (if that)

Yeah, I'd assume sometime in February is when we'll start seeing invitations for the multiplayer beta. Also, thanks SofaJockey !

My bet is a somewhat vague announcement in late January containing the dates, with a mid-late February launch. I'm also not completely sold on the idea of there being an NDA, but I guess anything's possible since it is a closed beta.

All I know is I'm going to be marginally upset if I don't get picked

Played a few games since last summer. I just had to remind myself how I can still rage over stun lock and that fucking Geth Prime turret, even after 5 years. Pliiizz get rid of the inescapable stun lock in MEAMP.
Other than that I had fun running into Toys R Rush('s one troll account).

If I owned a company, my employees would love me. They’d have huge pictures of me up the walls and in their home, like Lenin.

I am currently finding my huberistic huge N7 and challenge point score a source of burden and embarrassment in lobbies the way I have played since I returned to the game. I would not think of adding botb to my humiliation. The good ole Alt N& banner is where it's at.

Origin can support up to 2,000 friends. Thus one (PC player) can have all BSNers on their Friends list, and there should still be room left for plenty more.

Hey BWEamelia internally tested DAI:MP for 3 years prior to release and said the game ran 100% smooth.

What could possibly go wrong!
