Improvements for third beta weekend.

Just got this e-mail from Funcom, they seem to have improved the game, too bad I can't check it out myself because I'm on holiday that weekend (my laptop doesn't run games very well, especially not graphically demanding ones):
The third Beta Weekend for The Secret World starts on June 15th, and for nearly three days you will get to explore and enjoy more of the game than ever before.
If you have the client already installed: start the game and it will patch to the latest version. If you do not have it installed you can download the client from your account page.
Your adventures in this Beta Weekend will take you beyond Kingsmouth and into a massive new region known as The Savage Coast. Here you will soon discover that the very gates of hell have opened up, inviting you into an epic dungeon experience known as 'Hell Raised'. But that's not the only dungeon available; a wrecked supertanker known as 'The Polaris' has been spotted off the coast of Solomon Island.
The game has received significant enhancements since the last Beta Weekend, with improved content, gameplay mechanics and performance. In addition you will get to experience the updated combat system as well as full DirectX 11 graphics! We are very excited to share all this with you.
The Secret World Beta Weekend #3: Hell Raised starts at 9am PST on June 15th and lasts until 11.59pm PST on June 17th.
See you in hell!

If it is the same beta build as CB get ready for the forums to burn down
What that supposed to mean is it good or bad.
Why? Couple of days ago I read a post from a guy who is in CB, who told us that the CB client indeed has improved a lot over the client that was used for the previous Beta weekends.
Well individual experience may vary but theyve lost lots of cb testers over the game breaking bugs the last 2 weeks
LOL. Then they weren't very good testers... The whole reason they are CD participants is so they can experience the bugs, report them, and hopefully Funcom can get them fixed by the weekend events...
Former xFire user... I only wanted a game tracker and messenger, not a screenshot taker, video recording, broadcasting piece of bloatware.
Those who quit a CB due to bugs are those why a game releases with said bugs. CB is specifically done for finding those bugs, report them and generally try to break the game.
A lot have quit because the devs have straight up told people they arent fixing these bugs. The devs are rude to people who point out bugs, ya people want to test for people who ignore the players.
Doesn't match my experience.
Good for you, youll be singing a different tune june 29th.
Sounds like the AoC beta, some of the devs were pretty blunt with feedback in a way that came across as they didn't care what the testers thought as they had their own plans.
Sounds exactly like it, for instance they said they would ignore a bug that affected 3000 people to fix a bug that affected 5000 and continued on that if they lost those 3k oh well theyll be others.
Calling bullshit. Screenshots or it didn't happen. And there is a difference between players reporting bugs and asking for core design changes because they don't like the way certain features work. Devs have the right to respond to the latter, with 'Sorry, that goes against our design philosophy, it's staying the way it is'. Even Guild Wars 2 devs have began doing that...

Asking them to fix the dxllwin32 error that crashes everyone is a core game change? Wow just wow

That is called prioritizing. It doesn't mean they will never fix the bug affecting 3k. Of course you are going to affect the bugs that affect the most people first...

^^^ This. Spot on.

Same here.
agree
that is such BS...i've contacted funcom support on 3 different occasions...they were promp, effective, and very courteous.
Well they can fix it by launch or suffer the consequences

Please tell me where I said that? I have no idea what they are asking to be fixed or what bugs you are talking about. I'm not in closed beta. I'm simply stating that sometimes testers think that they can tell developers how to design a game when the developers have spent years hammering down the design they are playing. It's not that simple.

Ultimatums are for the weak and immature. I personally hope they don't so I never have to chance to run into you in game...

Just watching how you are replying to the posters in this forum leaves me with the impression that you are hostile with your responses. The developers are in a tough enough position without having to treat the CB testers with gentle responses. Suggestions in general are welcomed, threats and negativity are rarely responded with "we love you".
This is a lie. A simple search proved it.
