I believe someone already said this but repetition can't hurt...


They didn't say "all".

Accept into Global Alpha Test those of you who have been waiting since 23 February, almost lost hope and whose applications have fulfilled our criteria but have fallen a little short of the highest possible mark

There's one, maybe two questions that would probably effect their choices. The rest are probably just filling for the Application.

Those are whether or not you have had previous experiences with flight simulators and how much time can you put into testing a week.

I don't know what would be considered 'good' for them but I think what I have is enough at least.

I have played both Blazing Angels game for the PS3, together equalling just under 30 hours of gameplay. I have played multiple demo's of other Flight games, specifically things like Tom Clancy's HAWX. All the demos put together probably add's over 10 hours. I doubt that this counts but I was always good at flying Jet's in BF3. Probably 2-3 hours alone just in a jet. So I have experience with flight games, or at least flying them.

As for putting hours into a game, I could put into 16-20 hours each week, which is between 1-2 hours each day and up to 4 hours on some days. Unlike those other games, MMO's tend to stay interesting even after alot of playing time. It's more interesting when a game is fresh too as you want to learn about it and play it, until halfway through it where you are busy grinding the next tier tank (Or plane in this case).

So in my own opinion, I fit the criteria for a tester, and I know that other people that have been waiting just as long as I have share similar testing skills, some can even put in more time or have more experience playing flight games. If I had known that it would have come down to 400,000 people trying to get in at once only for it to depend on what you answered then I would have lied and put bigger numbers in my application.

Thing is though, even though they have told us this we will still have to wait regardless and those who do fill their criteria have no clue as to how long they will have to wait. The information given to us is not enough for a game as big as this.

Wasn't there also the inclusion of your computer specs (that they got through your wot account stuff?) or am I remembering something from another game?

Also: the dev team wants both players with high and low time on simulators previously. Maybe even more of the low time spent on them since simulator focused people are a small market. I figured that as one of the least meaningful questions for entry requirements personally, and that the rest of the questions were gauging how likely you are to be biased horribly (unwilling to see things objectively) and how willing you are to research a few things via google (give in depth feedback/stick to testing assignment) before answering.

But that's just my point of view, I can't say I actually know what devs want.

Either way, you're through so you won't need to have done good in the application to get in. I guess it's another few months of waiting for me. It's almost been two months already.

Same for me, seems they kept their word this time. I'll be testing it like mad during the weekend.
