I like to imagine NPC's as other players who don't talk at all. Then i push them over the wall, and kill their children.

If you did everything correctly and gave a bit of detail why you want to be in beta, it should have said Excellent. If it didn't you did something wrong or didn't have enough testing experience.

Was I supposed to write a book, along with an annotated appendix, to get Excellent? I kept it short n sweet.

I wrote like three sentences and it went from "Above Average" to "Excellent" I had a write a short explanation as to "I work in the industry" checkbox, in case they wanted to know.

I didn't write a while lot. I wrote what amounted to 2 paragraphs, detailing how I test and what games I've tested before and what kinds of things I tend to do in game in a little more detail and my ability to test. Honestly if you're looking to get into the first beta wave, they do look for something like this. Beta testing isn't fun. It's not a demo.

Otherwise your odds of getting into a later wave of invites are higher.

I bet your other answers were far better than mine, then, because filling it in put mine from average to above average. It might be because I don't play many MMOs, and I've only beta'd 1 game, LotRO. Actually, I just remembered, pretty sure I beta'd LoL too, but forgot to put it down.

Hmmm....typical trailer all things told reminds me of Warhammer Online.

Should be interesting to play though I hope.
Signed up for the beta and everything.

Cant wait to hear my friends say that "YOU ARE NOT A REAL TES FAN!". Dont get me wrong I like my friends...they just have monomania when it comes to TES.

Okay fuckwits: what the trailer shows us, and also the lore trailer from a couple days ago, what both of these show us is there are three playable factions in competition for power against a fourth ruling faction in league with demons.

So aside from the usual MMO grind there will be realm vs. realm among three factions, like Dark Age of Camelot, vs. a non-playable fourth faction, which I think is new. All this is awesome, aside from just the general awesomeness of the trailer.

Yes. It does indicate what some elements of gameplay will be like.

I filled in every field and got an excellent chance. So, hopefully soon.

I really do hate PG13 violence. I am not a "gorephile", but seeing somebody or something get hit in the face with an axe and fall over without any blood is really jarring, it completely removes my ability to suspend disbelief.

Out of all MMO's only this and Fallout are announced ones that are set in a game I'd actually be interested in playing. I am not particularly into MMO's in general, but I shall give it a shot and see if I can get in the beta.

Oh look another generic MMO trailer which never reflects the gameplay.

Oh look nords! Oh look, Humans! Oh look, Elves each in their generic fucking styles.

Elves shoot magic and bows, why not an axe?

Oh look the human ASSASSIN, OOoh doing his flips and tricks and generally assassin creed style movements! generic.

And the BIG TOUGH NORD, oooh, i'm big and strong I hold axe because I compensate for shrivvled dick and small brain!

And where are the Argonians, hmm? Or the Khajiits in this trailer? No, all we get in this piece of shit is a bunch of generic fuckwits thinkings they're "all that" Fuck THAT.
To be fair, the Assassin is a Breton which is a decidedly magical race. And not actually human on top of that.

For the rest, it's just a trailer. Even gameplay trailers never reflect actual gameplay, every company is going to make trailers that reflect their game in the best possible light.

If I want gameplay I'll look up video reviews, livestreams and other sources.

If I want over the top exaggerated cool footage I'll look up trailers.

Ah opening a post with an unnecessary and inflammatory insult, nice.

So you're saying that there will be a unplayable enemy faction? Just like almost every MMO ever made? And that you assume it means Realm vs Realm? The trailer does not indicate elements of the game play will be like, because all that can be pulled out is "maybe Realm vs Realm".

I don't see where you got Live Action out of that trailer. Looked more like a Blur Studio production to me.

I signed up, I hope I make it, I definitely want to give this game a try at least.

The trailer was interesting, I think I would have preferred gameplay footage though.

I signed up. I do want to try this out even if I am a bit wary about a TES MMO.

Same here. I do like fancy trailers, but I'd feel a bit more at ease if I got to see some in game stuff other than what we've been shown already. I'm a bit indifferent towards the game, at the moment. I'll wait to see what other content is released before I see if I should bother paying attention to it.

Signed up and got excellent chances for beta.
Never had any luck with beta sign ups before, so lets see how this works out..

I signed up with only an above average rating. Personally since I generally have a strong antipathy towards the mechanical mechanics of MMOs (something Guildwars 2 seems to have somewhat done away with somewhat and thus I intend to get it) I tend to play them with reckless abandon while doing incredibly stupid things. Furthermore I try to get to places where it is clear they do not want me to go while abusing game mechanics and playing like I am in another game tend to net very strange results. Personally I would consider myself a drunk, dumb, deaf, and blind bull high on caffeine in a China shop when it comes to playing MMOs and would be no exception in a buggy BETA.
