Will we get some info from Betas? Maybe screens, some news and AARs?
They doesnt need to reveal the whole game but give some bigger picture. I know there must be some control so maybe PI should read it before posting.
Is there any chance for that?

No, I think Johan already answered a similar question in another thread; P'dox is very serious about their Non-Disclosure Agreements that the Betas would have to sign.


Sorry it was King

I would like to make a request... would it be possible for PI to authorize a couple (2 or 3) of the beta testers to talk freely on these forums?

As a long time lurker, I have noticed many times that the forums go stagnent once the beta starts. The active debates/discussions move to the beta forums, since beta testers want to discuss implementation. Beta testers are also fearful of breaking the NDA, so better to not post on these forums. And I'm sure its even harder on the developers who now have twice the number of forums to cover.

Just a thought.
No definately not, just because of the action we would have to take against such a Beta tester in the case of an honest mistake. We do devote a lot of time to these forums. I was posting here at 6:30 this morning. So we'll be doing our best to keep you all in the loop as much as we can.

The developers are posting more now and consistently than they have ever in the past (except for EU1). What we are getting is good. We even get Tweets!

Betatesters, are NOT allowed to Upload, for example, the Internal version of HoI3 or any other Game/Mod.

You could upload pictuers or Information, only if a dev gives you green light.

Yeah, the chances of any Beta tester posting here once they've signed the NDA is about nil. But Johan's weekly updates have been really great, you should check them out.

I do like those weekly updates. Every wednesday, when I get from work, I first go check the computer for HoI3 news.

I think the amount of information is about right. If those betatesters were to upload information (which they would not be permitted to do), I'd go stirr crazy waiting for this game. Its better this way.

Betas cannot show,tell or give anything and i mean anything to do with a game that they have been/are beta testing unless paradox have already done so. Sure we can show you screenshots but only after paradox has shown you those exact same screenshots, sure we can tell you about XXXX but only after paradox has said the same thing about XXXX. Don't waste your time asking the betas about anything because they can't tell you anything you haven't already been told.

Just to confirm we have never released any Beta from their NDA from any project ever. That is how we work.
