I would rather a CC get the beta than some random player

Brazil. I’m a 5h car drive away from the SA live servers.

Short term maybe? But long term any CC that does that will not be invited back to early access and they know this. Watch nearly any channel with a million subs or more and watch them bow and scrap to their corporate overlords when given early access to something.

Even the likes of Angry Joe does this when he gets invited by a developer or something along those lines. A guy who’s whole career was started on an angry rant about how bad a game was… now sings their praises.

Well who knows, maybe the beta is gonna be on every existing server. I guess you have no major problems playing the game right now. The beta should offer a decent experience for every existing player (or at least I hope so).

FTFY. Your welcome.

Because that anyone else might be you.

“Do [wish] unto others as you would have them do unto you”. This piece of advice has been around since at least ancient Greece, but I see some people still grapple with it.

The CC will be under NDA so you really won’t see anything.

Not to mention we have already seen everything that the beta has to offer.

If they match servers 1:1 with live I’m happy as a pig in filth. <20ms gang here yo

or, I dunno, you could stop giving a crap about what other people think of your hobbies and just keep doing what you enjoy.

If people don’t like what I enjoy, that’s fine because they don’t have to partake in anything I’m doing. Don’t live your life in a way that prevents you from being your true self.

I dont care who gets the beta, I care about them promising more communication and transparency with the community and then running straight to content creators behind close doors.
Post something on the official channels SEEKING CONTENT CREATORS FOR OW2 BETA tournament, dont have your community manager post some hush hush ccs come find me on his private twitter

Oh man that’s good. Dammit I missed such a huge opportunity!

What an odd thing to worry about.

When most people ask for more communication, they are usually talking about things that actually affect them.

We have a core philosophy when it comes to our relationship with content creators: we do not dictate their content

Whether or not someone is critical of our team, our decisions, or our philosophy does not factor into who we invite into our trusted groups. A good rule of thumb that we communicate to creators is to critique the work, not the worker. We welcome folks who hold our feet to the flames, both in terms of community and creators.

It’s far more important to us that they’re promoting an inclusive community, one that doesn’t exclude folks based on their background or life experience. Whenever I have conversations with more controversial community creators, I’m very clear about why working with them presents a risk to our brand and community (i.e.; the how they choose to present themselves, and what they allow to be said in their audience), and if they’re interested, we try to help them more closely align their community with the values we hold true to as a team.

That is an interesting way 2 look at things. I’m actually kind of glad this is how u see it. Gives more people a more equal chance with this type of thinking in place 4 others 2 make it into the Beta.

The more I read the forums the more I agree with this.

Yall should absolutely not work with people who encourage others to harm themselves and spew mindless invective. It’s vile behavior and deserves to be shut out.

Well then you lived unter a stone or are ignorant AF because the common knowledge that people watch every game. Especially PvP games. That means OWL does not say anything to you? Oh boy…

Yes, this is true.

Simultaneously, we also make sure that we allow for the fact that people make mistakes. It’s on us to recognize when folks demonstrate a willingness to learn and grow from past missteps and, in most cases, to help them become a productive member of the larger OW community.

A philosophy I learned several years ago is that “good people have bad days”. I would much rather we help someone grow as an individual/professional by applying a bit more elbow grease to particularly challenging relationships.

Exactly. Why does anyone care what people think about what they play above all else?
