now they shows us their true color lmao
So they are charging us to test their game lmao
they "need more testers"
…..SO PAY FOR THEM
You're literally asking people to pay you 150 dollars to bug test your game.
I'll give you an A for balls, i guess.
I spent 250$ I think what. 5 years ago? Maybe longer? And I STILL. STILL have not been able to play or test this game. Im supposed to be in alpha 2. I have no idea.
Up till now ashes of creation has shown a lot of pretty stuff, but nothing that will take it apart from existing mmos, I dont think it will be the next big thing.
They clearly ran out of money for development.
Wonder how much they're gonna charge for the beta tests.
Joke aside. It's a fucking scam. The game may never even release, since it's still in the early stages and cash may run out at any point.
I am cautious of start up video games since I got burned in Everquest Next.
so let me get this right you pay to test the game with $120 and game is still in progress with many years in the making what people should ask would this thing flop and never come out and people wasted money for no reason and if the game comes out would it cost money to play and those who paid to test the game get it free or do they have to pay more money to play the game to me it just sounds like a scam at this point hype those prices for a game that may never come out or if it does it be low tier type of game like does ashes of creation understand as time goes by graphics change peoples love and hate for game types change and many other things if they take to long no one would even give a crap about the game it be took 10 years or more for a game to be made but because everything change it was a dumpster fire when it came out
Pay us to test our trash game so we can run with the cash when game fails on launch
9:00 And its not just price, they're litteraly colouring it as gold/silver/bronze lol.
big fan of ashes but this is a huge L. Makes me reconsider playing it.
I remember when games paid us gamers to test there games. Now us gamers have to pay them what a turn around.
Yikes charging people to test a game is wild, but $120 for testing their alpha plus possibly another $100 for beta then they will probably charge another $100 for the game on release with the monthly sub is a sickening trend, im just gonna buy ff16 on xbox when it releases and a design lab controller, so much more worth it
Wow, why would anyone pay money for this? Just don't and they'll get people to do it for free, or they'll pay playtesters. Who wants to pay money for a game that's not done? I was looking forward to this game, but if these are the prices to TEST the game then i have a feeling i'm not going to want to fork over whatever small fortune they'll be asking for to buy the game itself.
Yet all the AoC fanboys were defending it in their reddit sub lmao, it's not a beta, or early access, it's TESTING. You're paying that much for TESTING, something someone is typically paid for, not the other way around. Community is already a dork fest
people so entitled it's hilarious. Mad that its 120 bucks but they don't have to buy it or test just wait to buy the game.
They need more testers, not more bodies. They want more people to test and give feedback on the game, not stress the servers by letting randoms in who won't give any feedback and will only complain because "I paid for a game, where is my game, why is it not done, scam". The line of thinking "If they need more testers why charge duh" is off base.
remember you get what you pay for, if the dev thinks any of the bootlickers that buy into this alpha will be worthwhile testers then they are dumper then any of us thought.
Asmongold: we need the old days
Mmo old days: pay the box price and sub fees or pay per hour
They need money. It's that simple.
ALPHA III $100
ALPHA IV $200
ALPHA V $300
PRE-BETA $500
BETA I $600
BETA II $500
120$ is too much.
I just submitted a refund for the preorder and beta. I was originally excited, but with this sudden change and how long this game has been worked on with nothing substantial to show for it outside of what we have been seeing. Hopefully I get the refund but I am far beyond their 90 day time limit.
Cant wait to pay 1000$ for the actual game because the unfinished, bugged version already costs 120$
personally, I see this as no different from a AAA studio creating exorbitantly prices collector editions by cutting up the existing game and withholding parts behind that paywall.
How do you get rid of the stigma of companies always laying off their QA team? Have your player base pay to be your QA. Cashes of Creation!
They are charging a high price because they want only the most dedicated or foolish to join the testing.
These Alpha Keys should include full beta access and multiple months of playtime imo. And I am saying that as a Kickstarter Backer who would not benefit from this.
This guy has a history of scams in past guys as a player and guild leader-ArchAge. No surprise here.
Asmon has made more money off this game than the game developer
100-120 for the potential illusion of feedback? Sure bro.
After this they couldn't pay me to play this game. The years of stuff like this has me at a zero tolerance for it. The more people let companies milk them the more they will.
Edit: As bad as Star Citizen is you still get a value in the game for your purchase and not just paying for access.
Imagine charging someone for Alpha and then again for Beta. Lmao😅
I recommend everyone start requesting refunds if you care. Please. A game isn't worth supporting shifty companies, or wasting your hard earned money.
It all started with DLC
Theyre not going to charge a box cost, right? Just sub? So isnt this just like prepaying roughly 10 per month for a sub? And didnt they already charge ppl 250 for alpha access a few years back? They cant charge less now than they did then. I dont get what ppl are upset about. Just dont play it lol
27:00 It's not capitalizing FOMO. More time for you to pay and test? Higher price. Less time? Lower price.
30:15 Jesus Christ, it's not complicated. It's a valuation of TIME. On release, this will be an online SUBSCRIPTION based game. Ass-Creed is not an online, evolving subscription game—it's an offline, single player complete product.
I don't care about people being angry or not about the alpha keys, I'm only responding because of Asmon's incorrect obtuse explanation here.
scam
Blizzard has been making us pay to test their games for 2 decades now.
