Well i have been thinking about blitz lately because i am really anxious for it to launch this summer As a lot of other members are too, but i want it to be finished sooner.. So i was scanning the forums for the Blitz beta tester recruitment page (http://www.worldscapeblitz.com/blitz/smf/index.php/topic,778.0.html) and i was looking at the people who got "accepted" as beta tester, then i looked into the last date they logged onto that account. They all have not logged on for a long time! i know that doesn't mean they haven't been playing blitz but if they did they should post updates or something so that we know they're doing something. The administrators accepted a total of 25 normal players and then all the staff. I think that maybe some more active members should be chosen to help finish the couple things in blitz that need to be finished up. The more members there are, the faster it should be finished, the more players will be happy. :D

I agree with you. Not to offend Jeremy's choices or anything but, half of the members seem like players who aren't very widly known. Knowing Jeremy, I know he made the right choice when he picked players but, I think some of the players who are very active and help the community should also be chosen. I know if I were picked I would be very happy. Jeremy also doesn't want players who are going to give away details and just show people everything about blitz. I think jeremy doesn't want to have the game so populated that nobody is active on classic. If I were Jeremy, Which i'm not, I would hire about 5 more players who are very active to be Beta-Testers. Now, if you aren't active and have been a standing out problem within worldscape, you shouldn't get the amazing roll in being a tester. Also seeing the blitz preview video from Mute, I can tell it's coming soon. I think it's going to come sooner then anybody expects. I recently did have this sorta funny idea. I thought maybe Jeremy could limit the stats you can level too. Like a demo. This would get people who are ready to move on a chance to see what's coming just around the corner. Drunk Mario, I agree with what your saying and I do think WorldScape Blitz needs a couple more testers. I know since i'm not very known and famous like Wouter or Mooshu, that this will 8 out of 10 not happen. This also is fully my opinion and shouldn't be taken as anything more. Don't flame this topic about how stupid I am for thinking Jeremy might need more testers. And for another fact, that topic was held a while back meaning, the newer players like me, could be great testers but just have not been giving the chance. I hope that Jeremy reads this and understands what i'm saying. Because maybe if this does happen, those new players who got chosen will be a couple extra happy players. Thanks for your time guys. Happy member of WorldScape,~Iruleatlife
Dude, Xx IrUlEaTlIfE xX That was a bit politic, too much.
Just let the beta testers do what they achieve. It'll come out sooner or later. Just let them take their time.

My point in that paragraph was not to say the Beta-Testers are taking too long. I was just saying Blitz would come faster if there were more testers.

The blitz team are doing fine, i haven't been on in a while due to my computer being broken but i'm back.
We don't need any more testers at this point, if we do Jeremy will ask for some.
Okay, well then.. If there isn't a need for testers then this leads to another thing: If there are blitz beta tester who don't even play anymore, Shouldn't their title "blitz beta tester" be removed? I don't think they deserve that title if they don't even play blitz.

The title is just to let people know you are a beta tester, so they can like ask questions and what not.

Yes i know, but what if a new player signs up and is posting on forums and stuff and then sees someone with the title "blitz beta tester" and they pm them but get no private message back. They will think this is a dumb server because they can't get help.

Quite honestly, I'm glad that they're taking their time releasing Blitz. That means it will that much better when it finally gets released.
Also, I don't think more testers would help the game get released sooner. Sure, more testers equals more bugs found, but you still need people to fix them.
yeah, i agree with program, just keep you're mind of blitz or when it comes out so you don't get disappointed when it Say's it's going to be released when it is not.
blitz is fine...
~Taking long time for releasing it means no bugs and stuff like that.
Its up to jeremy or ryan who to be a blitz beta tester.
Tbh that topic is stupid you just did it to have the chance to be a blitz beta tester.

I just want something to be done with those titles at least of those who don't work on blitz. Also i don't want to be a blitz beta tester because then i can get the surprise when it comes out of how amazingly awsome it is.

drunk Mario, if a player had questions abou. Blitz and a beta-tester was not responding I'm pretty sure the tool up at the top ofthe forums says "staff list" and they can easily see a list of staff to PM about Blitz. In additon, a new player wouldn't seem to know about blitz if they just joined
P.S- using I-pod touch, quote messed up.
There recruiting new Beta-Testers.
Can this topic be locked now?

Don't tell forum staff what to do. Let them use their own judgment. But yes.
