I have noticed that officerdonnz has closed his account?

He is a nice fellow. Quiet, has a rare opinion and it was always presented as his own and not putting hate on anyone.

...

I would rather he get an invite than you, papasnarley. Great job here :rollseyes:

This very much this.

HOWEVER, don’t waste the privilege/luck of being selected to complain about stuff that the game is not designed to have. Like romances. Or a single-player campaign in the World.Or boob/butt jiggle physics. Accept the game on its own terms and then help them make it better at achieving its stated goals, whether those goals match your personal preferences or not.

You have any evidence his closing his account has anything to do with me? You may be giving me way too much credit. And for the record, I wouldn’t want anyone to leave the forum on account of me, or indeed, anyone.

If in fact it was because of something I said, I regret it. It was never my intent. I hope he comes back and I would welcome him.

(Speaking of snarley, you might want to reread your comments about Win 10 and people who can’t get their games to work. Yikes!)

Thanks for the advice! I have only done testing for the Dragon Age Keep, but I took it as my duty to try to "break" it to expose bugs rather than just geeking out over it. I'm also pretty good at giving honest feedback in a nonjudgmental way. If I get in I'll try my best to be useful.

Ben Slevan @benslevan
how extensive will the personalization be for the alpha tests, will we be able to access all of the stuff we saw in the second to last stream?

Michael Gamble @gamblemike
Nope. Allllll locked. The Alpha is purely a server tech test. Not a feature test.

Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah
In this alpha we will have it disabled. We are trying to put specific pressure onto the game servers.
The forge doesn’t do that.

Hmm, seems like they might need a lot of testers to do that, yes?

This seems like an intermediate level between a few dozen in house testers and a full server load test.

Not really. Since both Sony and Microsoft have caps to how many people they will allow into a shard at any one time. I think Fallout 76 is only 24 people, they can scale down the servers to the point where having smaller groups of people can have the same problems as larger groups as long as they are capping out what they are setting for the per area player count. Its a wonderful world of server virtualization.

TL;DR, don’t treat the alpha test like a demo for kicking the tires — it’s for testing:
