Beta First Reactions !

[krone6]

The reaction from Hylis is really funny... It makes me laugh big time.
Nadeo vs Ubisoft.... hahaha Don't they communicate?
Nadeo should know when Ubisoft is going to post messages like that, and Nadeo should know Ubisoft is doing stuff like that to promote TM2.
This is really funny.

And offtopic, I think Nadeo made a mistake to lett the free players into the beta 1 and 2. Why not only United players, they have paid.

Less abundant probably. Only 25% of the player base owns united.

The reaction from Hylis is really funny... It makes me laugh big time.

Ah, now I understand, at first I was sure that the quotation from Hylis was something written by Hylis before these reactions, not sure why though ^^ but I feel stupid for laughing after getting the joke explained xD

But I respect Hylis' choice, getting too much information too early might not be very good, but then again, not too much was spoiled this time =)

Still Hylis or Nadeo can shout what ever they want. It's Ubisoft that is pulling the strings...

Correct me if I am wrong.

"Joining Ubisoft is a huge opportunity for us to develop and innovate and take Nadeo to new horizons," said Florent Castelnérac, chief executive officer of Nadeo. "Nadeo's team is pleased for this acquisition to happen. Like players in a community, we see ourselves as being a complementary fit with Ubisoft and believe that we can share and quickly move ahead together."

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

So eh.. if you read between the lines it seems like a joint venture rather than a takeover. Kinda like nVidia with eswc i think.

So to answer in short: nope, i don't think ubisoft is pulling the strings.

"CANT WAIT FOR BETA 2"

"CANT WAIT FOR BETA 2"

Agreed

[eversorgod]

and this is also what happens when you have Nations n00bs participating in the beta purely just because they want 1st play at the game and have no real interest in testing the game....

I hope you meant the people who didnt buy the game, rather than people who prefer stadium over the united crappy enviros but own the game.. which unfortunately is what canyon is based on so it will be a fail

There's no link between TMN players and the publication of commentaries excerpt of the beta.

Only 4 days, then the beta 2 should start
