They took information when you signed up for the beta, right? That wasn't just so they could sell it to Google.

Gimmea break, telling them name of my graphics card is nowhere near letting me play and test the environment

Seeing as it's taken 3 and a half years to get to the stage it's at currently I think it's best just to forget about it for now as I can't personally see an open beta happening for a long time

I don't think you quite understand- the stage it's at is that it works. People are already using and testing it in a closed beta. It has just taken a while to get there.

no I'm perfectly aware it's just that it's taken a very long time to get to where it is a 'closed' beta. Going off that time frame you can assume that the development time to get it ready for an 'open' beta is going to be a pretty long way away

You do realize the amount of work that it's taken both tec and 2pac to get it to this stage right? That's on top of their jobs and other commitments so three years and a half isn't that long when you factor all that stuff. Also, the fact that it is now public knowledge and is in closed beta already alludes to the stage it's currently in.

Is it nowadays political incorrect to make a calm post to not overhype things and make a reasonable time estimation without praising the work that has been done already or what is the point of those responses?

We don't have a set timeline. The goal of the closed beta is to test things in a more controlled fashion. Until we're certain that failures are incredibly rare, we want to ensure we can have a close relationship and tight feedback loop with all of our testers. We also want people that won't run away from the site and never come back if they encounter a bug

So, once we feel pretty good about the state of things and feel like we don't need that tight feedback loop any more, we'll open things up to anyone who wants to sign up. I would estimate this is in the range of ~months, but I'm not promising any particular dates. This is, after all, a side project for me; I have a full time job that has to come first.

tec himself wrote it will be months before the next step and I would consider that a long time.

To clarify, I said months before the site would be completely open to whoever wanted to sign up. That's not "the next step". The next step is to continue inviting new groups of people gradually, which we'll continue doing all the way up to that point.

So until the beta is open, right? That is what I meant with next step as well as what atrox_ wrote.

Until we're in *open beta*. Which means that anyone that wants to can create an account immediately and play immediately, but we don't consider things to be in a very "final" state and may still expect significant bugs.

The *closed beta* is already started now, but thus far the set of testers doesn't extend that far past the group of people that have been helping us test since before the announcement. The first actual wave of invites to new signups will be going out soon.

You don't need a very powerful GPU. It needs to be newer than what you need for BW (since we're using newer APIs), but as long as it supports DirectX 10 or OpenGL 3.1, you're fine. (At this point, this is very common for the vast majority of users)

You have added much to this thread with this post, thank you for your contribution. A shining example to hold up against those posters who have made a brief joke.
