Questions about the Alpha.

[Digu21]

First, the Alpha was said in an interview to be in April.. Is this confirmed at the moment ? or change of plans ?

Secondly, will the Alpha be open to players to participate in ?

Third, if there is an Alpha that will be open to players will it be closed or open ?

Because we would really like to get our hands on this anytime soon !

And not to forget, did the people and journalists at GDC 2012 like War of the Roses ?

My questions, if any member at the forum has any other question regarding the alpha. Please share your thoughts !

[Henk.]

You mean beta, you should edit that. Also, this is the kind of thing developers are always really vague about so I doubt there's little that will be told here.

[Digu21]

the game will be entering Alpha? its pre-Alpha now and they will be entering Alpha in April and later they will enter the Beta.. ?

[Henk.]

Ah yeah sorry my bad, forgot it's pre-alpha still. Anyway, I've never bevore seen a developer let players get hands on their game while it's in alpha so I wouldn't get too excited about that.

[Digu21]

Wouldnt get to excited either thats why im asking Ive seen very rare playable Alphas aswell..

Well see

Do I get automatic admittance to any potential betas due to my early haunting of the forum?

[Henk.]

What, how did you two find out?! That was my plan!

[Beowulf1990]

HEY! I said it first you thought stealing monkeys!

[Henk.]

Robin! Pick me! We both share... uhh... the..- the same name! yes!
Gordon! remember the awesome fun we had while-uh.. reading through comments! I checked your twitter a few times!

[ProjectAngel]

They should let us duel for it in the game...

*Crosses fingers* I hope this plan works.

[Digu21]

ProjectAngel nice one xD !!

haha thought 'bout it in the past days, the most active people on the forum should get the beta !! XD ahem Alpha !!

I have a popular graphics card, makes good in checking gaming rigs for the game

Geforce gtx 560
Intel Core i5 processor
2TB harddrive

and im Swedish =D even better ! and it comes more im studying to become a Game Developer !

[Henk.]

Lol, look at us already starting to whine about playing beta's and posting our specs xD We're not going to hold it out for long if we're already slowly starting to go nuts now. I've had several big time hypings (none of them lived up, let's change that!) and it ain't pretty once the beta starts closing in.

[Digu21]

I thought dont get overhyped, you might get disappointed... Change my mind ! I want it naow I would seriously take a sword and duel you all just to play the game =D

[Salahudin]

I think there is bound to be Beta sometime in May.
Just speculation though. It seems they have most of the stuff sorted out and are working on balance issues right now. I also noticed some placeholders in the trailer.

Hint: Play M&B until it comes out...

[Henk.]

I have played M&B so very, very VERY much that it's becoming harder and harder to play it.

[Sighvatr]

Played M&B for about 2 years straight. Its starting to get pretty boring knowing that War of the Roses exist.

[ProjectAngel]

Played M&B: Warband for over two years now and it's still the best multiplayer game I own!

Doesn't mean I don't have time to play this too though...

I have played it ever since it had the Vaegir, Swadians and a town called Zendar. A thousand hours will not cover it.
