Hey there, Legends! You might have spent some time with us already or be newcomers on these forums, but either way what I'm going to write below is something you might find useful in our future interactions. As you likely noticed by now, we're pretty open when it comes to our communications with you. We absolutely intend to keep it this way going forward and foster a community that is built on mutual respect, friendliness and the ability to listen to each other. Now, if that wall of text below is scaring you, here's the TLDR version: Keep it civilized, use reason, speak your mind, be fair in your critique and share your ideas, but understand that development takes time and resources. If you stop here and take those to heart - thank you 😉 Now, if you're still reading - good, it means that I have some space to elaborate, so we can understand each other better. Here goes. When it comes to forum topics we're going to try and engage in conversations that are stimulating and useful. Of course we're going to react to the most lively topics and see whether we can steer the dialogue in a constructive direction or just keep it there. Unfortunately, there will be times when interaction between us or between you and other players might devolve into a contest of sorts or an episode of unfunny sitcom. Such topics will be either locked or deleted altogether, as we're going to try and promote reason, self-control and adult behavior. That said, humans are emotional beings, and most of us on this forum and Discord channel are indeed humans, so some degree of giving into your emotions is of course understandable. Yet, if you feel that you were wronged by someone, insulting that person is never an answer. Please rely on moderation and report offensive behaviour, but also try to have some perspective. Many times we invest so heavily into an opinion that we don't see its potential shortcomings or outright fallacy. Also remember that what you've said is saved on the Internet pretty much forever. And you have ample opportunity to word your opinion/idea or retort in a way that would best bring your thought to life and let others work with it effectively and efficiently. Then there's the issue of flood. As the play sessions haven't started yet we're mostly conversing in the off-topic section and that's fine for now. We're still getting to know each other as we prepare to plunge into the depths of Legends. This means that tolerance for flood is going to be higher until the game is released, since we do need to converse and Discord might not be the preferred channel for you, as the rhythm of forums is something you may find more comfortable. Bored to tears yet? Wait, there's more! What about feedback? We're going to listen closely to what you have to say in your feedback reports, however, please understand that implementing a new feature is not as easy as typing in 'new feature'/implement. It's always a process with a lot of testing and quality control involved. A single ship can spend several months in modeling and balancing. And when it comes to features that require a separate development pipeline it's even longer. That said, if there is a feature that players (you) single out as a negative one, we look into it and see how we can improve it or simply get rid of it, but again, that requires time. Initial focus will be on making sure that the game is as polished and smooth as can be, and simply fun to play and spend your time in. If there's a suggestion, even one supported on our communication channels, we will still look at the wider population of players, poll them and see whether the proposed feature would really be an improvement for the most of them. So "develop - make sure it's working correctly - consider new features" would be our MO going forward. We're open to opinions and critique as long as those are within reason. "Your game sucks" is an opinion, of course, but it has no way of starting or stimulating a healthy conversation that would lead to betterment of the game or the community. It's a throwaway statement that serves either to bait or taunt the developers and/or community members into a meaningless and sometimes hurtful exchange. Now that we've got deep, perhaps deeper than anyone expected let's be clear: we want to stay on the same page with you and to do that we need to respect each other, each other's opinions and time. Thanks for getting through this admitted wall of text and if you feel like this is simply too much info to digest in a single sitting, let us repeat the communication principles that we're proposing and going to follow ourselves to the best of our abilities: Keep it civilized Use reason Speak your mind Be fair in your critique Don't be afraid to share your ideas Understand that development takes time and resources If you've read this all the way through, a sincere thank you! Here's hoping that we're stay connected and understand each other! Turn the tide!

será um prazer.

Testing is far from over, don’t worry! Just keep your eyes peeled on Discord or the Announcements section here in case they ask for completely new applications. They’ve definitely stated that they’ll need more testers soon.

Bem-vindo colega, qualquer dúvida não duvide na comentar neste tema. E vejo que é Alfa, oxalá possamos nos ver em partida hahaha

Testers are chosen on an individual basis. They choose testers based on their needs for testing and other criteria. They might get 1000 applications, but only need 200 testers(just hypothetically). Well, they need to decide which 200 people would work the best and they can’t rely on a purely random set of players for consistent feedback. I’ve also missed out getting chosen for testing cycles myself with other games. But persistence pays off..... just continue being part of the community and watching for Announcements!

Aghhh do they not realize how much money I have spent getting TOG ready for Alpha testing...

I heard you got in! Grats man! Sure miss you on the wot forums... Think I am the only Arty lover left thats not been silenced lol.

Well you know me lol...

It's closed at the mo, keep checking the news section, they should open up more on the later stages

congrats to all that got in and make sure you all do a good job for the rest of us.

No, sir.

Please keep me in mind if you should have any opportunities to join Alpha testing for the XBOX, and to all those that got in, congratulations and fair seas to all, have fun and hope to see you all soon

I am the other Phil and I approve of this message.

Good to see another familiar name

I apparently was not chosen as I have not received a game code (or however they introduce the testing). But I did receive an email, " First focus sessions already on Friday! ", as if I had already been chosen. Got my hopes up for nothing, thank you (#disappointed). Have a great day!
