Leaks 'Lead to Misunderstandings & Misconceptions' ~ R.Amiel - Secret World Legends - MMORPG.com
Secret World Legends News - Earlier today, Secret Worlds Legends Reddit blew up with NDA-violating leaks about the ongoing closed beta test. The information revealed screenshots, how combat has changed and information about lore portions of the story. However, Funcom feels that the information is not a fair or accurate portrayal of SWL due to the nature of closed beta testing. A leak "leads to misunderstandings and misconceptions that are doing nothing but a disservice to the game, the team working on it & future players."
Comments
and that is exactly what they try atm.

whats with all the people who have under 10 posts commenting on Everything this last few days
I have never seen so many people with under 10 posts commenting on these forums hahahah
Sad to see people trying to Ruin games in closed beta =-(
keep your mouths shut like your supposed to (NDA) , and wait until Release to see if the game still has the same issues , then you can bash them Upon a crummy release
Lol c'mon man...some of us have been around for years and just read the articles and watch the nonsense in the forums. We are entitled to post every now and then when we feel like we have input. I mean...heh you were less than 10 post at some point weren't you?!

Keep it on topic plz
The only game I was interested from Funcom in playing was Conan Exiles until I found out it had Denuvo.
But I honestly think FunCom is getting desperate and I don't expect their company to be around for long.
Maybe more game companies need to have Internal Beta testing ...and stop with all the Public Beta's hahahahahahah
Public beta's just have a chance to ruin your games
all the loud mouth jerks in this world cant be quiet and follow NDA
now, this game is shit, legends maybe will be better
Stop being so tight lipped or I assure you you're going to lose a lot more players than you anticipate, and if you think a dead franchise from 30 years ago is going to pull your butts out of the fire, then you might as well start packing up the office now.

I posted about Revelation's open beta - which is a prime example of what's gone wrong with pre-launch test phases.
These pay to get in early packs have ruined the concept of actually going in purely to test and give accurate written feedback to the developers, knowing that servers will see a reset before full launch.
Now it's "I paid for early access, wasn't happy with the game and asked for a refund"
This is not the best way to produce a good game. All it does is promote here today, gone tomorrow cash grabs.
But before we all jump on companies' performance, the player base has a lot to answer for. None of these wallet baiting cash grabs would even see the light of day unless people were, often blindly, just giving them money without any real understanding of what they where paying for.
So now where are we? Funcom actually tries to do things how they used to be. A closed beta under nda, specifically for players to give them feedback and help development of the new game.
-And what happens?
Trash talk is blasted all over the internet about this closed beta, ignoring the nda the posters signed up for.
Anyone not been in a closed beta that has rough edges? What did you do? Immediately go onto reddit and publicly trash the whole game under an anonymous title?
No.
Reports where written, feedback given to the company, issues noted. The game developed in the correct environment for the stage it was at.
So again, where are we? With this publicly trashing the game (by people you have no idea about), Funcom are now having to issue defensive posts - about a closed beta. A development phase, which can be repeated as many times as companies like (and often do) before going to open beta - same again for possible repeats of this phase, before full launch.
These paid early access cash grabs, together with an "everything now" player base mentality, have wrecked the notion of closed beta testing phases, with their only reward being the knowledge that you where contributing to the development of the game.
It's the NGE all over again!
They have simply moved animations around and changed the way resources work, removed skills, add reticule and call that streamlined, a "New Game Experience".
There must be a royalty reason for this name change, or something financial they have not told us about.

I think even here you're walking all over the nda. None disclosure = none. Not bits of information, or some descriptions of changes. Nda, none disclosure agreement. The clue is in the none.
I mean, I don't remember NGE switched SWG into a singleplayer, lobby-based action game from its MMO setting... Sure it was dumbing down, and it screwed the playerbase, but at the core it was the same game. Legends is not, it's a fully different game, with TSW's skin on the surface. Like the Edgar-suit in Men in black (the movie, not the TSW mission), it looks like Edgar, but it's wrinkly and stinks
