cpuld me worse i got into the beta but the only part i saw was PoK ever time i tried to move into the new areas would crash to desk top. only thing i got to play with was trade skill items being tested.

The entire guild im in did beta testing for PoR. Days and hours were random, but mostly on our raid nights. So for almost a full month we were not able to progress.

We had to be at our guild site set up and ready for the GM to show up, most time they were an hour late. Than spend next few hours fighting a mob, or trying to log back in from a bug that kicks you to desktop. Few times I missed the beta tokens being given out, so I dont have the points that I should have. Still been told we did enough to earn full credit PLUS more.

Now if you add up all the hours we spent on beta, it does not equal what we could be doing on the live servers. I could of made triple the aa's, finished a quest, and probably gotten an upgrade or two from raiding.

Yes we do have some idea on how the encounter works ahead of time, but we are still working on CoA and trying too kill OMM still. So all the info we got from beta is useless, just need read the boards to get the correct strategy on the mobs, when we get too that point.

So just be lucky you didnt do beta!!

it's about time! I've been waiting for these puppies for a long time...I can only pray that they reasonably scaled the teirs down...was pissed to find out that you can only raid if you're ~DoD geared...means my main or the betabuffed toons couldn't go...and the tokens won from the raids are worth what...20 stones?

No, those who spent hundreds of hours Beta testing, and tweeking Events and helping to make PoR as bug free as possible, will see a reward, based on how much they put into helping, simple as that.
