You've been invited to beta access email....

Oh come on. Surely there is a significant portion of this community that don't know you have to buy-in to the Beta. I simple email-blast would help a lot.

That being said, they probably don't need more players blabbing about the new Beta. Most of the posts in that forum aren't very helpful.

THAT is a very polite way to put it :D

Most threads are just whining about what we cant get, very few have actually tried it or understood the mechanics in the Beta. There are already too many Cmdr's in Beta, that should not be there. That is my opinion.
Go in try it , file a bug report if necessary, put your impressions on the forum and then, be quit. ( I cant Type what I wanted to , but it starts with S, has four letters, the last is a U and the two middle are T and F, not necessarily in that order.)
I'm no saint, but the Beta forums are simply too clogged with useless crap, wish lists, wantings, why not's, but if's and the like. Some very informative posts , shields, shield cell banks, weapons, MC are drowned in garbage that does not belong there.
Hrmmpf!

Cheers Cmdr's

Yep. I'm tired of this crap as well.

We bought this game, only to experience the most exciting parts via Youtube. That's totally fine. Sure. Okay.

So - don't buy it.

Don't buy any NONP2W customisations.

It's in your hands. You CAN take control of your life and be happy forever.

Just DO IT. (but for gods sake stop spamming how upset you are about it)

"I'm fine with it, therefore other dissenting opinions don't matter."

Go fly a kite, buddy.

No no no. Please give us 6 threads on dissenting opinions every beta patch. For a completely optional and voluntary item.
May as well throw in one for every new feature and every old feature you would like changed to suit your gameplay.
Another couple of dozen of those please.
It gets much more illuminating with every iteration.

If the email is "inviting us" to access the beta then it better bloody well be free. Hi I'm inviting you over for coffee tomorrow, say around 11? Ok can you pay me £4.99?

If, on the other hand, they are advertising beta access and not "inviting" us, I'd rather not have ths spam please. It's meant to be a newletter isn't it?

Oh wait - is the £4.99 there to pay the spellchecking guy?
 
Havn't we already had a whine thread about this?
Three, at least.

Quarter million dead in Afghanistan, Yemen's population starving due their infrastructure being bombed into dust, Brexit, Donald Trump, they say nothing. They receive one email and the world is ending.
 
FDev practiced email marketing! How DARE they try to sell things!

Sheesh people...since when did people start acting like their Inbox is sacred? Delete, block, unsub...these aren't difficult things.
 
When 2.4 is released, people will ask how do I get into Beta. Posts will fill up. People say it should be free, others say, I bought it so should you, and still others won't care. Then FD will say you can buy it. People see it on the boards, others (majority play the game and never visit the boards). FD sends an email saying how to get it and what it costs. Some applaud, some say nice but no thanks, and still others complain why are you sending me emails how to spend money on a beta. So it goes every time.

MAN IF ONLY THERE WERE SOME SORT OF WAY THAT FRONTIER COULD SPREAD AWARENESS OF HOW YOU CAN BUY IN TO THE BETA SO THAT PLAYERS WOULD KNOW HOW TO GET IN.

*two infinitely tiny fractions of a nanosecond later*

WHAT IS WITH THIS SPAM DUDES GET OFF MY EMAIL

I agree OP. It is rather tacky and tasteless but as long as the majority of this community continue to take it and go, "Please sir, may I have some more." it will continue. I made the same criticism here - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...ou-need-more-beta-testers-then-make-beta-free

Prepare yourself for the inevitable 100 plus replies by the fanboy brigade who think FD's turds don't smell.

The poppycock is strong with this one ^. So you know this to be true because you obviously follow these people around in real life and track what they do, yes? Please spare us the self righteous forum police routine.

Now if we cut out all the pretend indignation, the hyperbole and the utter bull from your statement I believe we will find what you truly wanted to say is, "These comments criticising Frontier are not worthy for I, Shadragon, do not agree with them." It's better if you cut the bull and just type what you really mean to say :)

I'm not particularly offended by the click-bait message. Marketing departments are doing exactly what I'd expect them to in any company- trying to promote sales. And this is just like they've done on plenty of "Not actual gameplay" promotions videos to imply much zippier ships than the way they perform in-game (outside of CQC).
