Playtesting volonteers thread

[Kuniworth]

I sign up for free playtesting anytime.

[Some_God]

I doubt its going to happen to me but what the heck. If you need one I'll be here.

[JerseyJohn]

Likewise.

[Cantum Americus]

I'm new around, and so I don't know whether I'd get a shot at playtesting, but I'd be all for it.

[Edwin P.]

Likewise

I would also be willing to write "balanced" scripted events for each of the scenarios.

[KDG]

Likewise again.

[kurt88]

I'll be happy to help a hand.

[Comrade Trapp]

Likewise

[Night]

Hmmm I wonder who wouldnt be?

[RussianDog]

same here

Hey Hubert, let's do this right. Let us pay for the game up front(pre-release), and test it during the fine tuning (Beta). You will have an immediate cash flow and with a plethora of testing we'll get all the kinks out and you can add to it according to applicable suggestions. When you finish it(if that ever happens ;) ), then Battlefront can issue the final product at the adjusted price according to the add ons/new features.....ie more cash flow. We will gladly trust your judgement for the final price and features.

[Comrade Trapp]

hehe, "Russian Dog", creative name. ;)

[Carl G. E. von Mannerheim]

I'll throw in my hat


hopefully Battlefront hasnt forgotten about that contest I won......


Cvm

[Hubert Cater]

Nope, we are still in the early stages, really an Alpha stage but as we get closer you and Brad will be added to the list ;)

[Some_God]

Good job CvM. Remember to smuggle out a version for us less fortunate to playtest SCII. :D :rolleyes:

[jon_j_rambo]

One key point in testing is "play balance", I'm willing to help in that area.

I'm an AAR writer :D

smuggle? hell no! I have my integrity :rolleyes:

But I'll answer what BF lets me answer...

[Comrade Trapp]

Tell me cvm, do you have paypal? :D

[Marky]

i volunteer :D :D :D :D

[JerseyJohn]

GeneralMark

In a way it makes sense, you wouldn't be burdened by any previous misconceptions.

By The Way, Welcome aboard. ;)

[japinard]

I add my name to the list as well. Except I'll pre-buy TWO copies of the game! smile.gif

And I have an enourmous amount of time I can sink into it smile.gif

[kossuth]

I am in too. But is it ever real grognards that playtest games???

I have the feeling that it is not, but maybe i am very wrong here...................... ;)

agrees. I think ADG planned to do it with Wif,
(will that game ever see the light?)

This would be the 1st time I pre-order a game but would gladly do so to help out in cash flow and beta testing.

[Becephalus]

I too would be more than happy to help. Although I am new to SC community, I do have experience beta testing for other games (paradox, blizzard) as well as full grognard credentials. I have fairly good knowledge of math/statistics, symbolic logic (helps for events especially triggers), WWII, and CPU/board games, about all the skills someone would need for such a task.

Anyway here is hoping SC2 is as good as SC1.

[KDG]

Is that a $50 bill :D in my hand that I'm trying to slip to you without anyone seeing? :cool:

[Yohan]

I am sure Hobert and BF have already thought of this but a good play test should not just include SCI grognards or the product that is delivered may never appeal to the broader market.

Insert from Moon: "Shurely you jest"

##!@#$ you and don't call me Shurely!

SCII mus reach the broader market or those of us in Canada will never be able to visit PEI when Hubert buys it out of petty cash

A Nigerian family has over $1M Italian Lira in the bank and needs to retrieve it from their home country, go figure they need your help. You can save them and share in their wealth by either sending Euro $29 to hubert@paypal.scam or closing the Suez immediately in every game you have open. Shurley (don't call me Shurley) you must assist this worthy cause...

[Hubert Cater]

Hehe... sure send any money to...

Actually if you guys like the demo and buy the game that will be more than enough for me ;)

Hubert

[Wachtmeister]

I have done some SC play testing, mainly for SC mods. Since I am semi-retired, I can and will devote whatever time is necessary to playtesting and providing timely turnaround of feedback.

I would be honored to assist in any way possible at any level desired.

With its enhanced maps, and built in flexibility for selection of diplomatic, strategic and logistical options, SC has great potential to become a long term classic strategic wargame, providing years, not weeks or months, of exciting game play.

[Leopard]

I'll definitly offer to playtest, and have experience as a beta tester for a recent wargame (NDA still respected).

[Fubarno]

Demo! hehhahhehehaha. He said demo. That's cool!

[Raven25]

I'm new here, but if you need beta testers I'm quite certain I could lend a hand. I understand that the goal of a tester is not to have fun, bu tto look for things that need to be fixed. One thing I'd suggest is correcting the US coast to make Massachusettes bay more clear. And also Boston is closer to the coast than New York City. If you'd like my help then don't hesitate to send me an email through these forums.

By the way, I loved the first SC and I've been hoping for a long time for an SC2
