About inviting more players/YouTubers

[NoFaTe]

A game publisher doesn't start marketing their games in the last months, when everything is close to be finished.

But we're not a game publisher, are we?

[Kerrigan]

It wouldn't make any sense to promote it now, because the ones who have an actual chance to join the beta at the moment do already know of the projects existance.

People only could watch. Thats it.

No, but that doesn't mean we can't start of early in this close beta.

Ok, back to topic. Metro is back to alpha stage, 10 times better without this bluetint!

Wait wat?

NoFate isnt a game publishing company????

Announcing things early hasn't proven to be too beneficial to us so far...

Preety much this. The forum would get spammed with "WHEN? WHEN? WHEN? WHEN?" topics.
Even open beta is too early to promote, since the forum would get spammed with people whining because they can't play due to some known and "fix in progress" bug. The advantage of the closed beta is that we can avoid having 100 people posting the same question/complain.
It will take it's time, but it's proving to be worth it.

I'm here, alot of other guys are here, people waiting over at MHQ. And I don't think there has been any big announcements picked up by anyone lately. I don't mean that there should be a open beta date, release date.. Just mean that we should get the hype train rolling, not by inviting everyone, but some youtubers. Don't think there is many who knows what Venice is, who daily plays battlefield and watches some youtubes videos from time to time.

This is the only youtuber that picked up the "unleashing", 7 000 views;

But please, if you mean this should stop here, leave this dead, I'm not good at rounding up a discussion and will probably keep on quoting.

Inviting Youtubers would only be a good thing when there are features to show off. Otherwise people will be like "Wow, it doesn't have anything special yet, why bother?"

Once there are interesting features available, we might think about it.

So much promise, such amaze, such gwafix, such wow, the Beta is delayed for like the 10th time.

So what's the point of the freaking "Unleashing" videos if the Beta is still not live for those that were promised. I understand there are problems with the builds but that's what Beta's are for. Let us in already. We waiting so long for 10/10/14. Instead, we get these screenshots...

Ummm shit happens? Personally I had my doubts about the release date, simply because I know shit happens. While I am disappointed as well, I would prefer NoFate get enough of the kinks worked out, that I'm not in the middle of one of my best rounds, top of the leader board, and then CRASH and I having nothing but a fish story for that round.

Give them a chance. It will happen.
