Need Beta players for new MMO

[Backseat Killer]

If anyone is interested in getting into a Beta for my MMO, shoot me a PM. There are restrictions - no press, no game developers. Here's a link to the game's web site http://faxiononline.com.

[Squidbot]

This actually looks pretty cool, I love the art style on the characters. I will most certainly shoot you a PM.

[axion]

I feel compelled to sign up on the name alone.

[Blue]

I will most definitely help out.

[The Continental]

I dig the style of the character models.

[Akela]

I will most definitely help out.

I would certainly be interested. Nothing, but Warhammer Online for me otherwise...

Sadly.

EDIT: Well, maybe STO. I'm a mean "healer" :D

[CappinCanuck]

Definitely in, looks fun.

[Deadend]

Did I just see 2 bibles glued together on a stick to make a hammer?
yes, yes I did.

[kyrieee]

The flavour text claims the gameplay is original, and it might very well be, but the trailer did absolutely nothing to convey that.

[jpublic]

Sure, hit me, I'm interested. I'll try any game once.

[fitbabits]

Sure, hit me, I'm interested. I'll try any game once.
Um, you'll have to "hit" BK if you want to get on board. See the part about shooting her a PM! :)

:(

Wow, fail on me. Stupid VMWare giving me a headache.

[mightbe]

Dammit. Two strikes?

[jpublic]

Two strikes? Am I missing something?

[mightbe]

no press, no game developers

Those two.

[jpublic]

Doh, wow, I forgot you're a gamedev.

[mightbe]

I work for Wizards now! It's awesome.

[OrangePulp]

Could be pretty cool.

[CappinCanuck]

Anybody have anything to report? The trailer looks fantastic :D.

[Akela]

Anybody have anything to report? The trailer looks fantastic :D.

Not just yet. Sure as hell am waiting, though.

[IIntrude]

Nothing yet, haven't heard either way if I can get into the Beta.

[Backseat Killer]

Thanks to everyone for your interest in the Faxion Beta! I am going through all the PMs and will respond back to every one of them this week. If you haven't heard back yet, be patient - I'm making a game after all :)

There are still openings available so I'll be taking PMs all week!

[Vandabo]

Did I just see 2 bibles glued together on a stick to make a hammer?
yes, yes I did.

Gives a whole new meaning to "bible thumper".

I'm not really into the fantasy MMOs, but good luck to you!

[Backseat Killer]

Thanks to everyone who has expressed interest and PM'd me! I am going to turn my list of peeps over to my community manager today (in a couple hours actually) so if there are any last stragglers who want in, now is your last opportunity to get on the list!

Thanks again!!

[CappinCanuck]

I was going to apply, as noted earlier :) I found out I'll be leaving in a few weeks for many a months so I am not a good candidate hehe. I still expect someone to talk about it at some point tho!

[Backseat Killer]

Thanks for your patience all! We are going to be entering Alpha soon and each of you that confirmed with me via PM will be receiving an email soon with details,instructions and preferred in-game behavior guidelines. :)

Please keep in mind that this is an Alpha/almost Beta playtest and there will be issues... however the game is really coming along and I am looking forward to getting all your input and feedback! The Alpha will be a shorter playtest but if each of you provide solid feedback, bugs and suggestions, you will be invited back for the Closed and Open Betas.

Thanks again for helping a sister out!

[Backseat Killer]

So... anyone in? Anyone having issues? Let me know!

[jpublic]

I've been having difficulty DLing. I think somewhere between me and the download is FUBAR, because my rates are horrible.

[Backseat Killer]

Are you downloading the full or the lite client?

[jpublic]

Full. I'm going to try it from an alternate location. I suspect it's the traffic shaping happening here (I'm at my workplace right now) that's interfering with things.

[Jackel]

Got my e-mail and signing up now that I'm home. Looking forward to giving this one a try.

[Backseat Killer]

How's it going so far?

[BigJonno]

I can't get in. I get as far as server selection, hit the play button and it just goes black. It's not doing the "not responding" thing, it just appears to be loading.

[Backseat Killer]

We have had a few players have the same issue - have you gone to the forums to report this?

I'll investigate on my end too and let you know if I find a solution!

[Jackel]

Played for a few minutes last night and I like it. I was able to get around the "freeze on black screen issue" by running the game in administrator mode.

[Backseat Killer]

Alright- when we saw this issue before, the guy was running with outdated drivers. If you are running the most up to date drivers and still experiencing this issue, could you run a DxDiag and send it to me at anjanette.houser@utvtruegames.com?

Hope this helps!

[Backseat Killer]

Played for a few minutes last night and I like it. I was able to get around the "freeze on black screen issue" by running the game in administrator mode.

Yes, we have found this works too :)

Thanks for your patience with this - this is the first time any public are seeing our game and there will be issues. We are quickly addressing each one and trying to resolve all issues.

You can ping me here but the best bet would be to get on the Faxion forums (linked from the email or from the launcher) and post issues there.

YOU GUYS ROCK!

[BigJonno]

I'll have a poke around and see what I can do. If the issue persists, I'll let you know.

[Backseat Killer]

Also, try running as an administrator - that apparently helps solve a few issues.

[jpublic]

Thursday to Sunday morning testing schedules are not cool. :(

[Backseat Killer]

I know... but we have to work on fixing the issues you are finding before the next round of testing :)

[jpublic]

It makes it hard for me to play, that's all. I managed some playtime this week, and I'm impressed with the worldbuilding. This is very clearly an alpha, so I'm trying to limit my complaints/bug reports to the gamebreaking.

[DeathByVoid]

Seems interesting, I'm down.

[LordDon]

Dude, Backseat, you guys must be going nuts with the online Ads, I see you guys everywhere.

[MagGnome]

Backseat is a woman. ;)

[LordDon]

Dude =/= Gender Specific

[BLeeP]

Dude =/= Gender Specific

Where does this leave "dudette"?

[LordDon]

Where does this leave "dudette"?

In the 80's where it belongs.

[MagGnome]

Dude, whatev. :cool:

[LordDon]

Hey, this is open beta now! Just in time for PAX.
