Do people still use these forums?
Anyways, hurray for the beta testers!!
It's officially begun (started, like, just two days ago, actually), and most of the beta people are on the IH Discord chat.
For those of you who are part of the beta, just join the chat
here (don't worry, <--that link there won't expire like FastAndBlast's). It's not required, like Razor Leaf said, but it
is very highly encouraged. It's the only place where we can talk about bugs, fixes, typos and other beta shenanigans while drooling over how great this game is. This is especially more true given the fact that these Forums don't have a hidden area for us to talk about Iron Marines, while the Discord one does. Most importantly, a
whole bunch of the Ironhide Developers are there--like, five or six of them--and chat with us every now and then, so if you ever have any concerns about the game, you can literally just call them up and ask them yourself.
Just remember, if you join the chat:
PLEASE DON'T IMMEDIATELY TALK ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE BETA. As in, no spoilers, don't talk about the units or the enemy types, don't ask for advice on how to get achievements, don't rant about how OP one of the upgrades are. We still have to keep information about the game secret, just like the IH devs told us. Just call up one of our resident moderators to tell them to put you in the superdupersecret beta chat, which is where we talk about the actual game itself.
So yeah, join the beta chat if you can
, just be sure to not talk about the game immediately, and to wait for a mod to give you beta access first. It was awfully nice of Ironhide to just hand out the game to us like this, and all they ask is that we keep the beta secret, so let's try and keep our end of the bargain
