RandyL Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Does it expire Dec 2nd? Not the press NDA, the one that testers on the closed test server are bound to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say a class had an ability during beta, but the devs thought it was too OP or didnt work with the game or whatever, and took it out for live, because of the NDA the testers would never be able to share that information with anyone. Thus the NDA is never really over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Holmes Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I really hope they let us see the contents of the PTS forums when the NDA is over. I'm curious if the players agreed with some of the changes that EAware made, and how it was discussed. Some things just... don't make sense.

Kryand Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Pretty sure it never does. Obviously everyone can say what they want about 3.0 and SoR when it's out, but the way I understand "it", no one can ever talk about things that were only ever discussed in the private beta.

Gentleman_snow Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Why would you -want- to reveal any of it? Let the players have their fun, spoiler free! Be that gameplay, story or both. Let them have the adventure of finding it all out themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
znihilist Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Its never really over, they cant talk about what the devs posted in the testing fourms, was my understanding. RotHC NDA is an example of that, still in effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelersWay Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 When it expires depends on what BioWare told you when you agreed to join the closed beta. Usually for things like this, they send you the NDA form in an e-mail. For GSF at least, the NDA was never lifted for the closed beta. Those who were allowed to participate can never reveal any gameplay footage or discuss what was posted in the closed beta forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Wicked Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I'm not really interested in spoiling the story. I'm more curious about crafting things and economic issues so I can plan accordingly. You'll plan "accordingly" once the expansion hits. Just like everyone else I guess.

TACeMossie Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The NDA specifically states it doesn't expire. If it did when 3.0 went live, then I wouldn't have to powerlevel both my Vanguard and Powertech to level 60 ASAP so I can finish my guides for Dulfy (they are currently lacking a parse analysis section and a video section because those were cut out after revelations the NDA doesnt expire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpope Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 It is reasonable for BW to not bother testing that on the PTS, it's pretty cut and dry. You would think, but crafting can be just as buggy as the rest. I remember with 2.0, Underworld Trading kept getting Holinium which wasn't used for *ANYTHING*. So I do hope crafting was tested thoroughly this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, with BW's testing method, nothing can be "thoroughly" tested, relatively speaking. In order for expansions like this to be thoroughly tested, a PTS community should have been established, thus keeping the PTS up and running as it was originally, and all patches placed there first in a timely manner (based upon the nature of the patch - from one week for small ones to months for expansions). As it is, prepare for bugs and broken systems at launch, and months of patching to try and fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
