Oh don't you worry, I'm gonna go raw in that Netcode .

u/JJJimmy 5h ago

Interesting what he said at the end about letting people in slowly over days. Maybe it'll last longer than the weekend.

22

u/MortonAssaultGirl 5h ago

Seems like it's going the full week up until EA release.

EDIT: Just saw this in another thread.

Guessing progress will be wiped again ? It’s fine by me, last beta I went full sniper mode. I’d like to try base building and vehicles this time anyway.

11

u/toomanybongos 4h ago

Yeah it's getting wiped. I saw a post where someone was begging them to keep progress and they said no lol. I respect it

6

u/Skpstr155 4h ago

I think a big reason for that is the artificially boosted progression they had. After release, nobody's getting a tank in 3 days lol.

1

u/toomanybongos 3h ago

Oh yeah definitely! Also, probably not a good look ti give preorders an edge on the economy right out the gate lol

1

u/MonsierGeralt 30m ago

Do we know if they will have artificial boosting again in this next one ?

1

u/MortonAssaultGirl 4h ago

Most certainly yes, any progress from a beta carrying over to release is a rare situation for any game.

I did a mix of recon/driving pallets/base building. Very enjoyable play style, lucrative too.

u/Glittering-Package-9 3h ago

that would just be a shadow drop if they didnt wipe......

u/AdAromatic6520 3h ago

Am I stupid or is this set to end 8am Saturday morning?

1

u/MortonAssaultGirl 3h ago

Edit. Nevermind you said end.

1

u/AdAromatic6520 1h ago

A bit of a shame I'd only have Thursday/Friday night to play this beta. An odd choice, too - i guess I'm sitting this one out.

u/bowlessy 2h ago

Huh???? It says the 5th of September, where are you getting the full week up until EA from?

The game releases on the 10th.

1

u/JJJimmy 5h ago

Yeah, it might. I think in another of their videos he said something about letting players try to break it all week. Don't have the link to that, but pretty sure "week" was mentioned.

u/Kitfox715 5h ago

Gotta love when developers communicate things openly with their users.

Just enough time to move some PTO around to be here for both launch and this new server slam. Lets go.

u/Strongear971 4h ago

Oh shit, i think i'm in love with this guy.

May this company grow and show others how shit gets done.

We do what we want. BF4 Badmins reincarnate /s

u/eimfach 4h ago

Well, that is well communicated and I can accept, nice one. Pre ordered first time in my life.

u/Skpstr155 4h ago

Same, just did it. Also joins the club with Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 as the only games I have paid more than $50 (CDN, including tax) for.

I'm really excited for this. I'm not great at FPS games, but the short TTK means I will likely at least get enough kills to be having fun, and kills arent the only way to progress.

I love how they've basically done everything to encourage impromptu teamwork. I normally do that when I solo an FPS, but being able to actually talk to a team is great.

u/EmberFr0st 5h ago

They gave us consent to have our way with WARDOGS

u/DaxMizerson 2h ago

Even if somehow by some tiny tiny possibility that Wardogs completely flops, imma love these GameDev Bros forever. Complete and utter Chads they are.

u/Spectremilker 4h ago

LETS FUCK SHET UP LADS

u/Severe_Prompt_459 4h ago

Excited for beta 2. I hope they continue stick to their core beliefs tho. Community is getting a little too vocal about wants and changes and i think we should trust, and stick out what bulkhead has planned at let them continue to hone this game into what it can be.

Big s/o to bulkhead for their already major success in WarDogs.

u/poop-azz 2h ago

So was a shadow drop....turned beta....welll I guess my progression can wait another weeeekkkk

u/kalebkk890 2h ago

I think he meant shadow drop the beta.

u/HunwutP 4h ago

u/Alphabart 2h ago

3rd September 18:00 UTC - 5th September 08:00 UTC.

u/babbum 2h ago

Really odd to end it Saturday morning, Saturdays is peak gaming day.

4

u/UsernameIsntFree 2h ago

It was never about gaming though was it.

This is a stress test, they’re collecting data on performance

2

u/babbum 2h ago

Correct, which your largest data set would be on Saturday…

1

u/Alphabart 2h ago

True, I am hopeful that they extend it until Monday morning. Fingers crossed

u/kalebkk890 2h ago

u/Every-Concern-9563 2h ago

I will humiliate the first second I have to wait to gain access to the game on Thursday 🫡

u/awsmith00777 1h ago

Watch the servers still run buttery smooth

1

u/Antique-Case-143 3m ago

I have question, I recieved access to playtest in this round but the steam file contains only 5b of data, will everything else be available at later time during this week?

0

u/GreGorito24 1h ago

the question is. Will the progress or the skins stay ?

1

u/Zezacle Moderator 42m ago

Skins stay. Progress will wipe as Bramm explicitly stated Alpha/Beta progression is amped.

u/Tarc_Axiiom WARPUP 5h ago

Someone just tell them to chill out. They're massively overcomplicating where it isn't needed.

The game is fun, people want to play it. If you have a beta ready, just announce and then do a beta normally.

Gamers only get all weird about it like this when the communication from publishers gets all weird first.

Chill bros, the game is good, let the hype build the normal way.

u/GolfJay 5h ago

How is it weird? It’s refreshing to see a developer be so… non-corporate.

6

u/dacherrybomb Pilot 5h ago

Dude wants him to say Q1, fiscal year, challenges, and mention "planned for a future release". Instead, we get "yeah that's an awful idea and we are not going to have that in our game. This other idea though will be released in patch 1.02".

5

u/GolfJay 5h ago

We’ve got developers literally telling us to pre-order a game and refund it if we don’t like it. We have developers being brutally honest about their intentions in the future. And people complain 😂

1

u/Tarc_Axiiom WARPUP 5h ago

How is it non corporate?

All of this cloak and dagger stuff is extremely corporate.

Just say you're having a beta on the 3rd.

Theyre literally hosting an entire industry games show to announce a beta, you guys think this is non corporate?

Yeah we're just in different world I guess.

4

u/bamms1212 5h ago

I’d say they’re about as transparent about everything the game is, and isn’t, as possible.

Refreshing to see devs that are community driven while still being true to their vision for the game.

u/Luk4s5853 5h ago

You must be so fun to be around.
