Beta Closed for Two Months.
Sad news for you lucky few who are in the WAR beta or those looking forward to receiving an invite to participate since EA Mythic plans on shutting down the beta for the next two months starting Oct 10th. However hope is not lost for those of you who dream of a day in which you too may forge a bloody path of destruction in the warhammer world for numerous improvements to the game will be made from now until the imminent reopening of the beta in early December.
” Greetings all!
Recently, all WAR Beta participants received a letter stating our plan to end this phase of the closed beta test this Wednesday, October 10th. We periodically close Beta, our last closure being in March of this year, to focus on major improvements and polish. The next phase of Beta will reopen in early December with plenty of new and improved content, art and systems for our beta-testers.
We are very proud to have reached this point in development. Beta has been going very well and the testing community is extremely active. Excitement around the game continues to grow and the team is looking forward to enhancing many features already in the game as well as continuing to add new features to an already great game.
Based on player feedback, our own observations and our current schedule, we have set the following major development goals:
- Improve open field skirmishes and battlefield objectives with major enhancements.
- Provide players with even more options to customize their character both through their abilities and visual appearance.
- Continue to enhance Public Quests and the PQ System.
- Prepare the elves for their release into the world!
When the beta reopens, we look forward to welcoming back all of our current testers, as well as many new faces. Shortly after re-opening the doors, we will be inviting the first wave of guilds into the beta to really get things rolling.
Thank you!
- The Warhammer: Age of Reckoning Team”
We’ll to be honest I think its for the better, delaying the beta to improve the game will make it better in the end regardless of people bitching about not getting to play the game super early.
same i think its nice they they suspend the beta every now and then to focus all there attention on improving the game.
I’m not complaining at all. Sure I would like the beta but hey, they are taking the time to make a quality game for all. Just think of the end product lads and lasses!
