Garrulous Glaahk Good Canisters Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I would love to beta test windows G4, but I absolutely never give out my real phone number or address. Add the fact that I have a lack of technical experience, I would not do that well. But I would still love to beta test G4... I just have 3 questions to ask: 1. Will Spiderweb Software ever contact me via phone? 2. Will Spiderweb Software ever use the provided address in any way? 3. Is it possible to fill in the form and leave out some areas? (Phone and address.) And yes, I know, I am absolutely paranoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 You don't need technical knowledge to beta test. You just need to be able to play, comment, and find the horrible bugs that make your computer catch on fire. Jeff does not give out your information and does not, as far as I know, ever really use it for anything. He might not care at all if you leave some blanks, but there's really no reason to. Spiderweb is trustworthy. —Alorael, who thinks the result might be Jeff ignoring your application because other people have filled theirs out more thoroughly. It can't hurt, though!

Garrulous Glaahk Good Canisters Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Ah, thank you very much, Alorael. It couldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Taffer Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Have just applyed for it and fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Just applied. Second time's a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd bargeral Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I don't have the time to test properly so I won't apply. Better to leave the slot open for someone that will really run the game through it's paces. But I'm glad to see progress and am looking forward to the release! Good luck testers!

Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Just so you know, the thing we're most looking for is access to a machine with Vista. Having a machine with a pre-Windows XP OS on it is another good thing. - Jeff Vogel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Lord Safey Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I take it that means he got the rest of his beta testers picked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I think Jeff is making a request to see if there are any people out there that haven't applied that have what he wants as the two ends of Windows operating systems. He still wants to test different versions of Windows XP and different hardware configurations so you might have something that interests him. After all the first revision to the final version of Mac GF4 was for an operating system that wasn't among the beta testers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Andraste Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Man, everything I have is so generic. There's no way I'll be picked. I do have a Win 98 PC lying around, but it in no condition to be playing games. But beta testing means that the games is one step closer to completion!

Fledgling Fyora jeffdeboard Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Jeff, for your information Microsoft said that windows Vista Will not be available for sale until Jan 30 2007. That means that if you are wanting to wait for a tester with vista on their system you will have to wait until at least the beginning of Feb! Hope this helps. P.S. I applied, and I currently have LOTS of Spare Time, So I could Beta Test pretty much Full Time. Hope everything goes well. Sincerely, Jeff DeBoard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be people with CTP/Public beta releases still floating around. Also, the RTM version was released to companies last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Apropos of nothing, really, it occurs to me that Jeff probably cares a lot more the technical details of the computers his Windows testers use than the details of his Mac beta testers. The latter get some leeway because a lot of the important work is just making the game playable and balanced. That's presumably done for the Windows testing, which is really just making sure the port is functional. —Alorael, who still hopes for balance comments that lead to a better game. In other words, nerf the servile! Power to the shock troopers! Fyoras for the masses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Upon Mars. Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Well if it blows up your old sluggy computer yes people would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Good Canisters Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Vista? My friend bought a new computer in November, and Vista was already installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Jeff and he had a complaint that it wasn't powerful enough against Monarch from someone that he relies upon. Shock troopers are a bit weak because of the magic spells, but they are playable if you don't want as big an army as a lifecrafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Kennedy Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Sister had an old PC with windows 98, but she sold it for 10$. Have to check around to see if we have any older machines. Allready signed up under a windows xp system though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
