SERIOUSLY? The wait on NA Beta

Archive: 57 posts


:colossus: :colossus: Seriously, I want to know what is taking so long for the LBP2 Beta for North America. Firstly, why on earth would there be a delay in the first place. Secondly its been how many weeks since the EVERYWHERE ELSE Beta!?
I just made this thread because I am seriously PO'd about how long this is taking and wondering who else feels the same.
BTW has anyone heard anything else about NA Beta release!?

True, we've been waiting a looonng time for it. And the bad part is, when it comes out, I probably won't even get an invite. 2010-09-29 21:52:00

Well, Thursday 30th is the final scheduled Test Night, so I'm guessing you guys will get it next week (probably Wednesday).

I hope the EU beta doesn't end though, 'cause that would suck. I really want to play some levels from you NA guys!

It's annoying that you lot have had to wait so long

The testing period ends, but you still have access to the beta, I think? Tbh, can some one from the EU beta check for me from the XMB stats of the LBP2 beta, if the beta "expires"?

The beta doesn't have an expiry date according to this. Remaining time: "No time limit"

I mean, it's a bit fair to the UK, they usually get things about two months after everyone else, with a higher price. But still, this is too long a wait. Sadly, I don't think I'm in Beta, but like AlexBullUK said, NA LBPC members have amazing stuff. Can't wait to see what they post.2010-09-29 23:32:00

Isn't it all so obvious?

You see, Sony is holding back the codes knowing people will become more and more anxious. As time passes people begin to lose self control, and start rioting. Soon the entire world is covered in riots of people wanting codes. (Don't ask why it's the whole world.) Then, from the fire appears the heroes; Sony. The ones who hold the key to salvation. And so, Sony releases the codes throughout the world (AKA North America) and everyone is happy and the world is saved. For saving the world, Sony is given the honorary medal of 'Awesome', and a key to the world. Thus begins stage two of their evil plan of world domination. (The plan that MM is in on.)

Buuuuuuut, that's just a guess.

Honestly, I really thought the NA codes would go out on September 14th.

Well, actually, I thought they'd come at the same time as the rest of the codes. It's a bit odd, really, to have so many people waiting for something for so long. One week was pretty bad, I thought, but it's just painful now. It'd be nice if they added more members in the NA beta because of the longer wait.

The NA beta is most likely being delayed and rolled out in phases to test server load, get a good chunk of bugs out of the way, and test out some other network and inter-connectivity related stuff. There is not a conspiracy, and I'm supremely confident that MM and Sony are doing this for very good reasons.2010-09-30 01:20:00

I think they are testing to see how long people can actually wait without going into withdraw from no LBP2 beta power...

Does the beta patch itself? Or do all the glitches just stay there?

If it does, us NA goers will have a slightly less buggy beta. Thanks EU

well.. if we get it.

Yes.. when there is a new update just like in regular LBP, everyone gets to download the new version or patch. The NA folks just get to start off with a less buggy version. I think that was the real issue. Possibly it was just so bad, that more folks online with it would have just brought down the servers as well as be more annoying than good for anyone. Kinda painful we have to wait, but for me it has worked out as I wouldn't have had any time had we gotten it when EU did.

...obviously that doesn't help anyone else and so sorry for the frustrations. Hang in there folks.. we will get it soon enough!! OH NO!! I used the dreaded SOON!!! lol

What if this ``North American LittleBigPlanet 2 Beta Test`` was just part of a large conspiracy as we susspected?! What about LBP1? Was LBP created as a clever way to get unsuspecting creative minds to pump out pure, creative ideas, which will be used to enhance desperate paying governments? Was the past 2 YEARS a LIE?! IS MY LIFE A LIE!? IS THIS PART OF YOUR WORLD DOMINATION SCHEME MEDIA MOLECULE!?!? I bet they even fooled Sony... They made them feel as if they had power... CONTROL... So ya. Can`t wait. 2010-10-01 02:39:00

Yeah. I was livid the first time I saw it (here they're getting to play lbp2 early for free and they're complaining). After the past couple weeks of waiting I've come to sympathize with them a bit more, but I still get annoyed by their constant whining.


It will be here in a week, speculated on Wednesday.

What are you basing that on? We were all told the 14th and that was a bust. Unless you can verify it with something directly from Mm, it's best not to say: you'll just get people's hopes up and then they'll all be frustrated when it doesn't come out.

Seriously, though, every day that the codes don't go out I'm genuinely surprised. I can't believe they've put it off for so long.

Pure speculation, but what if the NA Beta delay and the game delay... are related?

The delay announcement came out the 23rd, and the beta codes were scheduled to go out the 14th. I have a good feeling that Mm was pretty sure by the 14th that they were going to have to delay it. So, what if they're holding back they NA beta keys in order to fulfill this:

"On the upside, we are going to find a way to give more of you a taste of LBP2 prior to launch, so stay tuned."

Maybe they're trying to get a larger group of people into this beta, or, even better, organize an open beta?

Just a thought, and a lot of wishful thinking. It could also be related to the fact that they wanted to get 1.1 out before they send the keys out.
Oh well. Patience, you sackawan.

While I can certainly understand that point of view and it would be satisfying in a vindictive sort of way, I'm sure it would cause more problems than it would solve. In this case, the whining is annoying but it's not actually hurting anybody so I wouldn't think Mm will try to punish them at all.

@Biv, it's a download.

This is just poor corporate coordination - the parts of the company aren't in sync with what's happening with the other parts. MM wants the NA beta running asap but there's not much they can do.2010-10-01 20:45:00

Uh.. First of all this is against the new regulations by puting people down, and second of all Acradamon IS from the US so you don't know what you are talking about.

Lol! As a 40 year old woman, I can guarantee you that hitting 18 doesn't magically make someone mature I've seen some pretty cry-baby adults in my time, believe me! Anyhow, just thought I'd say that as your comment made me giggle... in a perfect world, my friend In a perfect world...

Anyhow, yes, I understand it must be incredibly frustrating for our NA peoples... but my advice is to try and forget about it for now (if you can). Do something else that will take your mind off it until Sony, in all their benevolence, decide to bestow codes on your region. It's the only thing you can do to make the wait more bearable. And Rustbukkit took that Star Wars quote right out of my mouth!

And p.s. Please don't call other members "stupid" . I'll be talking to you in a minute about that.

Amen to that! Truth is, I've known several teenagers that act more mature than some 40 year olds I know.

Sorry about the SW quote... did you want it back? I really shouldn't be playing around in other peoples mouths as I'm not a dentist.

I too am waiting on the beta. In a way, it's intimidating. It feels like everyone that already has it is 10 steps ahead of me, and I won't be able to contribute.

Sadly for you m8, I wasn't "guessing" if he was from the U.S.
I know him, he's on my friends list, and he has told me he's from the U.S. and that he got the BETA from someone else.

Please don't insult others for no reason, (or at all actually.) specially when you yourself are merely speculating, as when someone acts like that, he only looks more foolish if/ when proven wrong.

Indeed. I worry that by the time I get on the beta, all of the easy to find bugs will already be reported and all of the BCC's will be over. If I wanna' try for a bug blaster, I'm going to have to work really hard to find bugs that haven't already been reported.2010-10-02 20:01:00

And you just said why they shouldn't let you into the beta? O.o

That is NOT what the beta is for. It's not for having some super happy time.

Sure, you have a good time getting to play something that is unreleased, but that is your payment. Your job, is to find bugs and/or otherwise help them improve the game.




As for myself, I think it's just sad on sony's part to split the community for 6? Weeks.

That's totally against what MM wants, and since half of this community is from either regeion it's rather dissapoining of them.


Especially when some of us don't care how much it crashes, if we can help improve the game.

Not giving people a beta because its buggy is like not giving someone an apple because its juicy. Bugs are part of the beta. Testers are suppose to find these bugs, and maybe even suggest how to fix them. I wonder if this delay will have an impact on how many bugs are found?2010-10-03 04:13:00
