Water BETA to oficially begin on the 17th [PROVISIONAL]

Archive: 262 posts

Courtesy of Sam's latest post on the LittleBigWorkshop forum:

When does the water beta start? (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/lbp/board/message?board.id=pod&message.id=90710#M90710)

The initial phase of the beta with the existing testers has been underway for a short time, and we're about to introduce the first new wave of testers into the group.

We will be adding 1000 more people into the test this week, all of whom will have signed up last month. Currently we expect the email to be sent out on Thursday September 17th, [U]however this date is provisional (if there's any change we'll try to update as soon as we know).

This is not the final stage of testing, and more people will be added over the coming weeks, so if you are not invited this time around don't give up hope just yet.

Good luck to everyone that applied to join the Water Beta. 		2009-09-14 14:20:00

Thanks for the link. I hate speculating, but does anyone know how many people actually applied for the waterbeta when the sign-up was live? 1000 seems like a nice round number (and a large one at that!). I'm sure I share everyone's sentiments when I say, "I hope I get in!!!"2009-09-14 14:49:00

Is it bad that I'm considering taking the day of work to press F5 every 30s on my hotmail account?

Thanks for the link

Basically the phases are when bugs get fixed and such.

So the bugs found in this phase will get fixed and then in a few weeks a new patch will be downloaded with those fixes and then we are to test that new client with the fixes. Which is the next phase.		2009-09-14 16:01:00

1000 eh?
Urgh...considering there were over nine thousaaaaaaaand!!!! applications within the first few hours...bleh.

BUT if it's first come, first serve, then I'll be ok, since I was either first or second to sign up (and if I was second the first one was already in the OC beta )		2009-09-14 17:53:00

Yes, but you have to figure that some people probably applied under more than one account. It's not really all that fair, but it's how it goes.

9000 still seems a bit high, but it all depends on where the data is coming from...?		2009-09-14 17:55:00

Yeah, the sign up page was up for a while before Mm actually posted about it.
At first it was just a blank page with some boxes that didn't work, then they did work but returned an error, then it looked all sexy, but still gave an error, then it worked...yeah.		2009-09-14 18:53:00

It seems like a majority of the testers that were chosen for the online we're either really popular in the LBP community or popular on fansites such as this. So sounds like a might have a pretty good chance.

Also how would this work if i get chosen? Do i download a super huge file? (I'm guessing around 200 MB) Also I heard ConfuseCartman say there's a special private board for beta testers (nice, now i can talk to somebody about it if i get chosen)		2009-09-14 20:29:00

Mm said themselves this beta is a random drawing.

And yeas there is a board specifically set up by Sony for the use of the beta testers.		2009-09-14 20:41:00

but the OC people could have also signed up with their alternate acounts. so they may get extra keys, even if they filter out the accounts already in the beta		2009-09-14 20:48:00

Perhaps I'll make it in this time, I certainly hope so. 9000 isn't too bad I guess, so probably somewhere between a 5 and 10% chance of getting in.

Hmm, I wonder what I would do with an OC and water beta? So many things to make...		2009-09-15 01:37:00

Who taught you probabilities!?

1000 out of 9000, or equivalently 1/9 = 11.1%

Also, some people applied but were already in the waterbeta, so it can only go up from there 		2009-09-15 02:32:00

I think we are seriously underestimating numbers here, possibly in the blind hope that because we believe the number of entrants are low, that they actually are. The 9,000 figure was within the first few hours of opening up the page. Over the course of the week, that figure could, and most likely have doubled. I'm thinking more in the 15,000 - 20,000 range, though even that could be an underestimate. We will see just how good our chances are when Thursday comes around.		2009-09-15 02:37:00

While that may be true, he mentioned the 9000 being not so bad, so if we consider only those 9000, we would have an 11% chance. Actually, I predict that there will not be a set random choice... there will probably be some rhyme-or-reason to it, so all these odds become moot.

Only time may tell...

Besides, I don't want to think it out rationally... blind hope/faith, for the win!		2009-09-15 02:42:00

Not to continually be the so-called "Debby Downer" pessimist here, but they did say it was provisional, and when I see things like that, I try not to get my hopes up too much. That way, I'm not as let down if it doesn't come, and I'm more surprised when it does. 		2009-09-15 02:48:00

I'm not laughing at you Shredator... but that's some funny stuff right there in Comph's response.

As for probabilities... I'm hoping for the lottery this Saturday, but I'll takek the water beta in it's stead if I don't win that. 3 days...

More like 900mb+

Actually from what I remember the download was about 222mb, plus whatever the patches were to download after.

Although the original beta client has been pulled from the store so the new download of the client may already have to patches applied to is and hence make it a larger download.

When installed it reaches about 900mb.		2009-09-15 07:17:00

As has been pointed out, 9000 is only the number of people that signed up in the first few hours. 5-10% is our chances, assuming 10-20,000 players signed up, which is a little more reasonable given the odds that many people wouldn't have gotten the news until much later. If we're being a little more realistic about the numbers though, I don't think 30,000-50,000 is terribly unlikely. It just doesn't sound as good...

I did write is confusingly though.		2009-09-16 15:31:00

I'm sure they have safeguards against that. Multiple usernames and emails are one thing to check, but I'm hoping they had some IP checker in place as well, there is no need for people to artificially inflate their chances. 		2009-09-16 20:11:00

I'm doubting that I will get in as I messed up and applied at first with my email that I use all the time. Then I remembered that it wasn't the one I used for my PS3 and reapplied with my PS3 email. THEN (lol) I realised I had completely forgotten my password to that email, as I only set it up for my PS3 and it became deactivated and for some reason I couldn't recover my password or reactivate it
SO.....I set up a completely new email and changed my PS3 settings to this and accepted to receive emails from Sony. Then went to MM's site and reapplied for the 3rd time correctly lol.

So I've either completely screwed up my chances as they will think I was just spamming, or I have a better chance as I applied 3 times lol		2009-09-16 20:54:00

It's not even Mm that are sending the invites, it's Sony.		2009-09-17 07:55:00

Wouldn't it suck if today wasn't the day? I mean this was delayed once already, another delay would suck out all of my excitement. Ah well, I just got a MAG code, so if I can't get water, at least I'll be entertained in the meantime.2009-09-17 07:59:00

Well Negative Nancy (that's your name now), you say that but surely we won't know that we definately didn't get in until a reasonable time after people find out they did get in... So surely people getting in will happen before people not getting in

I guess I didn't realise that everyone on the forum is patient enough to wait and not just get angry they didn't get in.

Well its still yesterday here

Genious :hero:

@comphy: Nah I'm at work, I won't know for another 10 hours, regardless of when they send out the invites

@Snappy-Guy: Did you not like it that I called you Negative Nancy? Well I'm sorry. Sort of. Anyway there's no need for anyone to get angry over not getting into a beta - it's a computer game! Lighten up! Unless it's not you being angry and you're being cynical about others... in which case, yeah I hear ya, people really are taking this whole thing waaaay too seriously.		2009-09-17 08:32:00

I was thinking recently that to be a good creator you probably need a lot of patience. I wonder how many people here don't have any...

Anyway, I was planning to just check this thread once in a while until people got their emails before checking myself. 		2009-09-17 10:08:00

Bad news is.... I probably won't get a code and have to sit here the whole time listening to people saying they got in and me being very jealous

Honestly the first time I read it I got angry because I thought you were questioning my sexuality. But they said everyone who signed up gets in and the pack is going to be officially released so it's something that is obsessed over still.		2009-09-17 10:38:00

There are actually a lot of "frequent" LBPC members, we can calculate the ratios of what % of LBPC members who applied got in tomorrow.

In the meantime, Takelow just got in, and he's from France. Maybe they just haven't made it across the Atlantic yet.		2009-09-17 11:28:00

Just got in YAY !!

Twice too ! When I first applied I realised shortly afterwards I'd applied with my banned account ( which has now been reinstated ) so I went back and applied with my new account.

I got Water Beta welcomes on both a short while ago.

One thing confusing me though is it says I must have the 'preview' version of LBP. Does this mean the recent demo that is on the store now ? If so i'm going to be ages before I can try it out because I just started downloading that demo and it has another 3 hours to go !!

I never win a random drawing, and I didn't get any email yet, so that proves it is random!

But seriously, I think people are less likely to post here for not receiving an email. It's not cool to brag about, and there's always that tiny strand of hope that the email is just late or something. 		2009-09-17 12:26:00

A couple of things:


Congrats to those who got in, and have fun! Don't forget to report bugs! Also, if you'd like to be added to LBPCentral's list of testers, send me a PM with a screencap of the invite email you received from Sony (feel free to remove the beta code itself if you like). You'll get access to a private forum on LBPCentral and PM updates, if any.
To those who didn't make it in: it's alright! The first wave of invites hasn't even been fully sent, and there will be more "waves" of invites later on down the road as well, so you have a fairly good chance of getting invited. If for some reason you don't, though, please don't use this forum to complain - I'm sure there's disappointment, but being down and negative doesn't fix anything and it will eventually cause arguments. Just be happy for those who got in and hope that you get in at another time down the road.		2009-09-17 15:49:00

While I agree that it seems "fishy" that good creators got in (though not unlikely or unheard of), and is certainly ridiculous that ANYONE would get two codes for the same IP, you can't beat up on those who have proudly put in their sigs that they got in. They're just excited about getting in.

I haven't seen any sigs your referring to, but unless they are putting in something to the effect of "I got into the water beta and you didn't - so eat it!"... it's really not bragging.

whew, i woulda lost it there. I was quite happy when i got a crown, cause it made it official that I had all costumes, and since I am not in Europe, and we can't get the 1-Week shirt I was fine with that.

But whenn i heard that, where you get a costume item based on pure luck.....that is madness:eek:

Oh well looks like i didn't get it (unless they are still releasing codes for the rest of the day then there might be hope)		2009-09-17 18:56:00

To those who didn't make it in: it's alright! The first wave of invites hasn't even been fully sent, and there will be more "waves" of invites later on down the road as well, so you have a fairly good chance of getting invited. If for some reason you don't, though, please don't use this forum to complain - I'm sure there's disappointment, but being down and negative doesn't fix anything and it will eventually cause arguments. Just be happy for those who got in and hope that you get in at another time down the road.

No, I don't - sorry. Last time invites were sent, the people in the US had to wait longer to receive theirs. I think they were sent out around 2 or 3 PST, if I remember correctly.

Actually, there's a lot of misinformation regarding the costume item, and since it's already been leaked, I'll just spell it out:

Everyone who makes it into the beta receives an exclusive Beta Test Vest for their Sackboy, regardless of whether they actually contributed. Everyone who contributes valuable bug reports or is otherwise helpful and productive will also receive a special costume, which is (in my opinion) much cooler than the Beta Test Vest.

However, before you go all crazy because you won't be able to have everything, just remember that the vest is a "thank you" from Mm and Sony to the beta participants. Sometimes you don't get what you want, and that's just the way it is. Please, just deal with it. I've had this conversation at least five different times now, and I'm not really interested in putting up with another person who thinks they have a right to be angry if they can't get their hands on every single piece of DLC.		2009-09-17 19:54:00

The costumes don't bother me. I didn't think people actually bought every costume on the store anyway... what a rip off. I don't know how much in total all the costumes would cost now, but I bet you could buy a few full games for it.		2009-09-17 19:57:00

Well ofcourse. But personally, I only buy the ones I likes. If people are buying them just to have everything that's all fine too.

Hey thanks alot, this looks like something that can be easily replicated like with the 1-Week shirt (probably using the ringmaster jacket).

An idea.

Maybe the water beta invites haven't been sent out due to the Playstation Store's updating. After all, to get the download, the code you need to get it has to be added to the PS store.

Your thoughts?

Also, for those who care, I am in the U.S. and have not received any e-mails yet. Frankly, I'd be surprised if I was invited. Odds are against me here.		2009-09-17 21:23:00

http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/lbp/board/message?board.id=pod&message.id=96465#M96465

Sorry for the delay in replying folks. I contacted the North American team directly after my last post in this thread and have yet to receive a reply, however like you I find it odd that out of the 400 people from North America due to join the test not one was from this forum.

It will be late tomorrow (Monday) before I hear anything more, but I will be double checking to see what's gone on.

I wasn't saying that it wasn't a fair distribution, it was merely a comment on how small that number seems. You can extend that to say, "Wow! 1000 for the whole world is such a small number." Especially considering that some people are just in it for themselves and not for testing's sake.

Sorry for the delay in replying folks. I contacted the North American team directly after my last post in this thread and have yet to receive a reply, however like you I find it odd that out of the 400 people from North America due to join the test not one was from this forum.

It will be late tomorrow (Monday) before I hear anything more, but I will be double checking to see what's gone on.

Thanks for your patience.


So basically there might have been a problem, and it's being looked into. As far as Sam knew, it was not supposed to be exclusive to Europe.
I wouldn't get your hopes up too high over that though

By the way, Sam also stated in another post that contrary to popular belief, it WAS random draw.		2009-09-21 02:38:00
