Post by: Kuiper7986 on September 25, 2004, 05:37:59 pm
So about this list, are the people gonna PM\'ed, list on the news site, or forums? What\'s the mode of contact for the notification of selectees...?

I predict a dev will come and tell you:
\"If you\'re one of them, you\'ll know.\"
...and say no more until the next list of people is chosen for beta.

Your screen will go blank and after a moment it\'ll say
\"Follow the white kitty\"

This is Moogie. People in the Alpha testing have lost their forum rank and, it seems, the ability to post anywhere. Talad is currently working to fix it (at least I hope so).

Alpha testers were sent emails yesterday telling them they\'ve been chosen. If you\'re unsure, check the mail of the account your forum name is registered to. If you have nothing from Talad there, then I\'m afraid you\'re not in phase 1. But there\'s always the other phases, right? :)
Title:
Post by: Kuiper7986 on September 25, 2004, 05:59:10 pm
oh yah, no don\'t worry I was just wondering. Besides the next phase just a little more than doubles the selected amount for phase 1 anyways, so no worries. :)

Have fun whoever got in, I expect 0 bugs or it\'s your head! :baby:
Title:
Post by: Kuiper7986 on September 25, 2004, 06:05:05 pm
haha Druke its okay.

In my opinion and I say again in my opinion:
The first phase of the \"most loyal\" were prolly GM\'s and Mods.

I\'m guessing that the next phase will have more popular forum people. I\'m sure in the next phase you\'ll see more of us \"commoners from the forums.\"

i wish....

Post by: Icefalcon on September 25, 2004, 06:41:43 pm
Im sure more of us will get in during later stages. Of course the all-powerful mods and GMs are going first.

*crosses fingers and hopes Moogie puts in a good word for me  :P *

No need to suck up to Mogura. She doesn\'t decide anything. Talad does. :)

Anyway, like Kiva said

If you really want a place send $10000 to each dev :D

If the mods were supposed to get in, then they forgot one :P

Nice, now all we have to do is find those who are missing their forum rank ;P

Bora, Golmir, Agara and Xenia (maybe more) weren\'t selected. So it\'s not just -all- GMs they\'ve taken. At least not for the first test.

It seems you have been chosen Grono I can\'t see your forum rank as well as Moogiez and Kwartz

Post by: Kiva on September 25, 2004, 09:56:10 pm
Yes, I am... And I\'m downloading right now... Oohh it\'s so exciting! :D

42% by the way. :)

Post by: Syzerian on September 26, 2004, 12:52:26 am
Have fun! :)
Wonder how long each phase is going to last for

Post by: Keyaz on September 26, 2004, 03:49:33 am
As much as everybody else anticipates, we all want to be in the next phaze right? well look at it this way... let them choose without distraction, the phazes will pass quicker... if you get chosen, nice one, if not don\'t worry, cb will be released to the public anyway! just have to be that bit more patient.. pretend they havent said anyhting yet ;)
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on September 26, 2004, 04:05:27 am
I -highly- doubt we\'re distracting anyone with any choosing process ;P They were already chosen, anyway.
Title:
Post by: Kuiper7986 on September 26, 2004, 05:37:28 am
your right mikedean but what do you expect. We\'ve been waiting for nearly 10 months after the supposed release date. You can expect some of us to be jumpy :P
I don\'t blame anyone for being sad or even mad.

But your right, all I can say is \"We\'ve been running the 10,000 meter race and all of us are tired and want it to be over with but we have to hang on just for one more lap.\"

You n00bs and you\'re impatience...
Title:
Post by: Kuiper7986 on September 26, 2004, 05:48:42 am
actually the ones that were around for awhile have the most patience of all.

To rougly 10 months that\'s:

42 weeks or 300 days or 7200 hours or 432,000 minutes or 25,920,000 seconds.

Oh yeah I\'m bored now cuz there\'s nothing to do now, just a bit of info. haha

I think I have come up with a good system. Each phase of closed testing lasts one day so I can play in three days :D
Title:
Post by: Arberar on September 26, 2004, 12:31:54 pm
who cares if you get in a the closed alpha thing,:p i\'ve been waiting from...some time before last christmas, and i always checked the site almost every day, and i\'m just happy that its almost done you really won\'t have to wait more then a month now, its close so if your in or not, you\'ll be able to play it soon ;), just wait some more ;p we are used to it anyway ;)
Title:
Post by: Adeli on September 26, 2004, 02:27:21 pm
Congratulations to those who got in, have fun! I\'m just pleased to know that some people will be playing it soon, it can\'t be THAT far off now. As a relatively new player, I know I won\'t be selected for any of these closed alphas, so everyone who is, have fun for me. I have been waiting for a while now, but if CB was out already, I\'d be on it so much and I\'d never get anything done, so I\'m glad in a way.
Title:
Post by: Watcher on September 26, 2004, 08:27:22 pm
Ah well atleast I have a chance if only a slim one of getting into the next test. Congratulations to all those who got in.

Post by: Iamthom on September 26, 2004, 11:02:15 pm
And I find it disappointing that it is only active forum members. Although I dont post here that much Ive been with the game for over a year now, since june \'03. I was thinking that they would do it this way, considering the game holds no personal information (such as email address).

Ah well. Grono, if I may ask, how big is/was the download?

- milden
Title:
Post by: Kiva on September 26, 2004, 11:46:10 pm
Well, I\'m not sure I\'m allowed to say the number (NDA stuff... Talad is very strict about all that), however, it took me ~50 minutes with a steady 52.7KB/s. *hint*

That\'s not all of the stuff though. Only the art and engine files, so the download for the first public release is most likely  a big bit bigger than that. :)
Title:
Post by: Xordan on September 27, 2004, 01:46:34 am
What she means is, the closed alpha is about 150mb. This doesn\'t include sounds or music, so you\'re looking at maybe a 200+mb download for the first public cb release :)
Title:
Post by: Adeli on September 27, 2004, 06:42:27 am
That\'s a pretty good size, will there be a torrent? I\'d heard a rumour, but is it fact? I hope so. TorrentStorm is my friend.
Title:
Post by: Efflixi Aduro on September 27, 2004, 06:58:13 am
I still say we should put a cb download on download.com.....
Title:
Post by: Adeli on September 27, 2004, 07:02:03 am
Efflixi, just curious, why? Forgive the pointlessness of this post.
Title:
Post by: Syzerian on September 27, 2004, 10:51:36 am
Because the cb download will get packed and some people like me have fussy internet connections so bit torrents dont work
Title:
Post by: Zorium on September 27, 2004, 12:09:15 pm
If the download is going that large (assuming this the windows executable) will there be a fully packed linux binary available for download?

-Zorium
Title:
Post by: Keyaz on September 27, 2004, 12:36:29 pm
once cb is released to the public, as long as the downlaod works at whatever speed is better then nothing!!

I\'m going to sit and watch every byte trickle onto my hdd :tongue:
Title:
Post by: Adeli on October 01, 2004, 06:31:52 am
Surely the devs will have some contingency worked out to account for the stream of downloads. I love bit torrent. It\'s great. Naruto is so much easier to download.
