Citat:

We recently finished our first closed beta test, and we’re now ready to hold progressively larger events. In February we’ll invite select press to participate in beta testing, and in March and April we’ll aggressively ramp up the size of our beta test events so that many of you will have a chance to participate. And of course, this all leads to the release of Guild Wars 2 later this year.

Q3-Q4.

Cosmo scrie:

Q3-Q4.

Cu beta tests publice (sau oricum mult extinse) în martie-aprilie, nu m-ar mira să fie late Q2 / early Q3.

sau , daca tot suntem la nivelul de simboluri, ar putea fi lansat pe 21.12.2012

Legat de beta, MartinK a venit cu lămuriri pe GW2Guru:

Citat:

Ok, to clarify a couple of points:

We purposely didn’t use the term “Open Beta”, we mentioned Beta Events. To some people Open Beta means unlimited access to the game and everybody on the interwebs can play it. This is not what we will do.

We will do Beta Weekend Events. Those of you who played Guild Wars might already be familiar with the concept. It means that many of you (like the blogpost says) will get a chance to participate in specific Events, but access won’t be unlimited – there will be some kind of selection criteria and the beta period will usually start on a Friday and end on the following Sunday.

I hope this helps.

Nu trebuie sa fi stresat in privinta computerului GW2 o sa mearga daca ai putut juca si GW1 pe computer.
Te poti uita putin si aici ca sa vezi despre ce este vorba

Si in primele beta se alegea contentu la care aveai access, dar nimic alteva, puteai face un cont pe site si juca, noi jucam si pe cel corean cu proxy servers si fake id´s, singura mea preocupare ii ca in primu gw, beta wekends a durat cam 1 an, si a suferit multe schimbari de gameplay, sa vedem ce se intampla.

Citat:

In general people: Just purge the term "Open Beta" from your brain. We are not using that terminology as it is a wrong one for what we are doing (see my earlier posting).

It is really simple: We are currently in Closed Beta. And then there will be Beta Events.
And once we are ready to talk about specifics, we will also tell you about how to get in etc.

Iar legat de durata beta-ului, comparat cu GW1, http://www.guildwars2.com/en/faq/ ne spune asa:

Citat:

When will there be a beta?
Although we publicly beta-tested the original Guild Wars® while it was still in early development, with Guild Wars 2 we will commence beta testing closer to the game's release.

Welcome to the Year of the Dragon !

Today is Lunar New Year’s Day, and according to the Asian zodiac system, the first day of the Year of the Dragon. It’s an auspicious omen for all of us at ArenaNet, as we get ready to make this our own Year of the Dragon.

According to tradition, the dragon embodies passion, independence, and ambition. We think it’s a perfect analogy for what we’re trying to accomplish with Guild Wars 2. We’re a company full of MMO and RPG fans, and we’ve set out to fundamentally rethink how you deliver an RPG experience online. So this year, the Year of the Dragon, let’s usher out old thinking – the tired old quest model, stiff repetitive combat, and monthly fees – and usher in the new.
O sa fie distractiv

Citat:

Johnathon Ross - Destructoid
"Invites are out for the Guild Wars 2 beta weekend. Expect an impressions post on Destructoid from me later this month!"

Devin Connors - Tomsguide
"GUILD WARS 2 BETA! Operation High-Five Everyone In Sight is go!"

Charles Onyett- IGN
"Guild Wars 2 beta invite acquired. Look for coverage at 6 AM pacific on February 20."

20 februarie, NDA lifted pentru cei din presa online. Din ce scrie pe-acolo se pare că atunci se vor putea publica articole/impresii (deci probabil accesul în beta pentru ei începe mai devreme, dar e sub NDA). Oricum, sper că atunci vom afla destul de multe informații noi legat de starea curentă a jocului. Nice!

In ritmul asta pana in iulie jucam GW2

Ok, before this get's out of hand:

We just started sending out invites. And no, I personally do not have the list of who will get invited.

Also: We will NOT lift the NDA, selected members of the press will be allowed to talk about their gaming experience. No general lifting of the NDA.

Hope that helps, you all have a great weekend.

Citat:

Those of you who are freaking out really need to calm down. Not all of the invites have gone out and certainly not everyone who has been invited has said anything. There are a lot of media involved in this event and a lot of people who aren't media as well. Remember, we are still in a closed beta phase right now and those beta testers are all under NDA.

A lot of you seem to assume that the only people who are playing in the closed beta are friends and family and that no "real" fans are playing the game. I can assure you that we don't have nearly enough friends to fill even a modest closed beta and that plenty of "real" fans have and will play the game. As Mike said in his letter we are letting press into this particular event and we are in general letting them talk about their experience.

Those who are not press are still under strict NDA. We never promised that this feb event would be without NDA and we never said this feb event was an open beta of any sort. What we did say was that we are ramping up to larger and larger events and even gave a monthly timeframe. We are sticking to that promise. I hope this helps keep things in perspective.

TotalBiscuit o să acopere Beta-ul din weekend-ul acesta (nu direct, dar oricum va veni cu comentarii peste înregistrările video).

De luni încolo ar trebui să avem destul de multe noutăți legate de starea curentă a jocului!

[Xas]

MikeB o sa testeze si el in weekends.

[Tudy]

Da, mai sunt și alții care au acces (ex: cei de la Curse/GW2Guru, IGN, Destructoid, Tom's Guide, etc).

Mă aștept să avem o grămadă de informații/articole/videos de luni încolo. Should be fun!

[Tudy]

Mai multe detalii despre beta-ul din acest weekend. Se pare că primim informații noi săptămâna viitoare!
