goodbye cbt4 picture from a beta tester

how long till you think well see the next beta?
Hard to say. CBT3 -> 4 took 6-7 months (June-Dec 2011), but that also involved them converting from the Cry2 to Cry3 engine. As well as according to one interview they were going to fix every reported CBT3 bug before starting 4.
All they have said is CBT5 will start when their review of CBT4 is done... and if they do a full bug workup as well as add the 4 "missing" races, it may take a bit.
While I want them to do the best job they can, I also want the damn game in my hands yesterday, lol.
Yea it should be out in the west in about 2 years or so. I think it will be a great game and one that gives people what they want in a AAA mmo.
I hear ya. As much as i would love to get my hands on AA i would rather them take there time of get it right.
I made one of those kind of pics for a job before. God it was a pain in the ass.
Dont see that type of event too much in post 2005 mmorpgs..
Running the dead guy over with the vehicle was pretty funny.
Glad you saw that. I had to back up the vid, "they didn't just do that?!? Yes they did!"
That was great! But my video card cried when it saw the waves in the opening few seconds of the video.

One of the things I've always hated with Korean and other asian mmos, the constant need to put in modern clothing, fairy friggin' wings, and other nonsensical crap into their games regardless of what the game is supposed to be.

I have been quietly following this game with some high hopes. Now, I don't know about you, but I was turned off a bit by the guy in board shorts, the checkered bikinis, and the people in 1930s prison garb with capes.
I know this was a beta event and I hope these items were beta only but this would be a huge immersion killer to me. I love the concept of a sandbox game like this but some times too much freedom is...well...too much.
Um, the prison garb is what players get to wear when jailed. The other festive garb is probably just that (and there is no indication yet if players will be able to reskin actual gear with "out of place" clothing). And, come on... it was an event to celebrate the close CBT4... people were cutting lose!
I suppose you both think the crazy guy at the party wearing a lampshade, and the hot drunk chick dancing up on the table, are examples of "nonsensical crap" that you "have to put up with" too.... At least dougmysticey gets that it was an event, but I still think he *totally* misses the festive nature of the environment. It's a PARTY and people were goofing off. Why should they be totally serious and dressed not to kill your immersion?
Buncha crotchety party-poopers up in the place.... =/
Heheh. I get it was a festivity completely. The point was not missed on me. What I was wondering, is, will we see those things during normal, non- beta end festivity event game play on a regular basis? I have seen other, mostly asian based, MMOs that allow for this type of garb and stuff normally and, FOR ME, it is not something I like. I am sure others like seeing people running around with lamp shades as helmets.
I am not writting the game off on one video, just hope that those scenes to not proliferate the normal game when released.
A beta event is one thing, and if it sticks to that, it's fine. Problem is, many asian games have a habit of throwing whatever they think will sell into the cash shop regardless of whether it fits the world setting or not ( and even a few western mmos have done the same crap after seeing it succeed in asian games ). It's ridiculous.
I know a game is a game and should be fun first above all else. But when a developer can't even bother to keep their world "authentic" to itself, then I don't see the point.
