Why did Zenimax close the beta forum so fast this time?

Post » Mon Jan 13, 2014 9:40 pm

I mean, they closed the forum RIGHT when the beta test was over. I had a ton of feedback prepared. The last beta, they left the forums open for a a couple days to give people time to reflect and right out some thoughts.

I am assuming the overzealous moderators will delete and or close this thread because of the NDA. However, nothing in here breaks it.

I certainly hope so. I just don't get it though. I spent time beta testing. Right when it was over I tried to log into their forums and they were gone. I mean, the SECOND the beta ended, forums gone. Does not seem right.

There's a survey going out shortly for those who beta tested to collect feedback.

And how many unneccesary threads sprang up last time the beta finished? I've seen some beta forums where a beta run ends and the forums start cluttering up with 'I hope I get in the next beta' or 'Which characters remind you of celebrities?' or even 'What music do you listen to while playing?' And of course, always in the completely wrong areas.

Last thing they want is having to sort through clutter threads to find actual feedback and bug report threads.

You will have a ample opportunity to give your feedback after the Beta. There is a survey that is emailed out where they ask for feedback. Provide your thoughts in there.

As for the forums, the intention has been all along to tie the forums to the avatars (same account/screen names) so it could be they had to shut down the forums along with the beta.

I am closing this so no one will pop in and give their impressions of the beta, which will break the NDA.
