I doubt it, Sam stated that playing that game would be enough of a reward, and I agree with him.

Although I'm a bit p/o'd about resetting the kills/deaths of everyone, 5.5k kills earned through normally leveling:(

Meh...I wonder if the premium armor sets are gonna be available with release? Heard they were popular. I think a nifty vanity item would be disco for betas. Especially for those who won keys.

Nah doubt it. as said previously, playing the game before it even hits the main markets is already a reward. who knows, play for a year or so and you might get a founders helm for sl or something :)

Na beta testers don't need any vanity items. You got a head start and that is good enough.

Agreed... playing the game b4 most of the other people is reward enough IMO.

For those of us who didn't have v-cast or lucky enough to win a beta key are chomping at the bit so-to-speak, waiting for SL... so stop complaining for vanity items! Jk :)

Lol same reaction when Droid users found they could never get a vanity helm with stats, STS should be used to it by now.
Maybe not for beta testing, but a hat saying that we won a key would be epic :D I want 3 of them kthxbai

Myself as a Droid user I wasn't bothered about the founders. It was a great reward for the originals.

This would be awesome... ... ... ... If theres 2 thing ive learned since Nov,its this..... Pocketlegends (now Sl) is Their Game! What they want they release..straight and to the point. Droprates, Gcd, FoundersHelm,Sl Beta test, or even now k/d deletion upon release; all thing ppl have many opinions about but in the end is Sts's decision. 2nd Lolol You Cant Please Everyone. Gcd...didnt have to be placed in PvE,but its what they wanted. Founderhelm....Apple exclusive.+..Droid uprise.=..Vrs (vetrans reward system)....wheres vrs again?... Beta test +Apple riot=K/D server reset. lol Am I the Only who see this as Hilarious?!

I think the beta testers WHO SUBMITTED REPORTS should get a vanity. Yes. But those who just played so they could get the best loot early have already gotten their rewards.

@ Cascade: LOL! No. The belief of the true fanboi is, "SL must have serious problems. Apple's testers must be dismayed. If it was any good, they would have released it by now. There's something wrong! If Apple won't approve it, I probably wouldn't want it." LOL! That's how a real fan thinks. Anything less isn't fanatical enough to be considered fandom.

p.s. A lot on non-Verizon droidees are in the same boat as all the Apple "fanbois".

Lol there is no best gears
There's no pink or purple items until release. The gold drop and liquidation price is non existant until release.
I think the best gears at the moment are the plat ones.
I'm really not fussed either way this games going to be great with awesome items still to come.

If they do get a vanity, it should not be something that would get them an advantage. Just a snazzy look. Beta testers were able to test the game, level up, get credits, gear, and knowledge BEFORE most others. And now you say they should get a vanity item. So people who submitted reports somehow didnt get a reward?! STS said that keeping the data was a reward. I say no vanity item. Beta testers beta to keep their data! STS could delete em but they didnt as a ty for helping out.

Just my thoughts.

I think the beta players should get nothing. Im so against a small group of people getting something others cant(bonus stats). If it is vanity thats cool but loaded vanity is just wrong.(im in beta)


The gear is not the best. The credits from gear are 1,2,3 credits. We have nothing special going on. We are lucky to see 50people playing. They said a reset on k/d. I think most people stoped playing.(.reset k/d. I like it but hate it.)
The only ones doing ok are your farmers. Trust me when I say your farmers dont make that much in credits.
.......................
I think just about everyone in beta. Is ready for everyone to join in.

Register, et. al., I hear what you're saying that playing the game is a reward in itself. But I'm trying to make a distinction here between actual beta testers and de facto beta testers. I think the actual ones, who provided awesome feedback, should get a little, non-stat-affecting vanity. And I am sure the team in STS who was tasked to get feedback from the beta team know exactly which ones merit that sort of vanity.

Hey, I'm glad they can't sell and there are no pinks or purples until release. Even so, those who played but didn't report were just players, not really beta testers, and they shouldn't get anything special.

But those who went above and beyond deserve recognition.

Just my thoughts.

1) by keeping our data you mean stuff like gear? That would be cool, if we had any actual awesome gear. Green is current max, Plat store is universal best. Not to mention leaderboards.
2) the argument that founder helm people usually put up is that "we helped PL by playing and paying a unfinished product" and that seems to resonate quote loudly here.
3)founder helm has stats. Just saying.

I am using this as either an argument for a nice thank you/we where there piece or as a anti founder helm logic.
I mean c'mon, it's fine and dandy to have a item merely stating you were there. Like Halloween pumpkin

Why is it that apple users seem to complain the most... I'm speaking statistically. As soon as 6 month founder helm thing came it was an outrage to the "real founders".
As soon as Droid beta testers have a chance at their own special piece they are all "ugh major unfair".
Yes not all Droid users got to play, but there were plenty of beta keys and Verizon users out there, and it's not like all apple users got the game the first month anyway. I didnt.

Arterra, what are you talking about? I'm an Apple dude. I'm in favor of this idea, except only for those who posted or mailed the devs with bugs and suggestions. I think they did provide a service, as did those who were here when I got here. I don't mind someone else getting something they deserve and me not getting it. It doesn't matter what OS you use, people are the same either way.

Actually, looking over the major responders in the bugs section, and those who made guides already, most of them are Guardians or Scribes already. So maybe those who aren't should just get rewarded that way, by making them Scribes or Guardians.

07-25-2011, 02:25 PM
We never thought we would get anything for being with PL so long, and to my knowledge we didn't ask. I would have been happy to beta test, give helpful reports, and still ask for nothing in return. I don't think testers (no matter how helpful or unhelpful) should get special treatment for early playing/testing. I would gladly give up a vanity item for the chance to learn the game early and help others when the game is released.

thugimmortal
07-25-2011, 03:39 PM
I'd have thought all beta testers that are known on the forum would have given feedback. If not tsk tsk tsk do it now lol.

But I do understand that some who was in the beta wasn't looking for bugs and just wanted to have fun. But that's ok because it gave the devs a chance to test things server end. There has been system announcements asking for thoughts and feedback so I would have thought most players have. I have also noticed many new people on the forums so the games gaining alot of popularity.
I'd like to thank all beta testers and fir all the feedback that has been given.

Although the Appleheads received a Founders helm for their early devotion to Pocket Legends, I don't think rewards for Droid beta SL users are warranted.

I believe they got a Founders Helm for STAYING A YEAR, even though the product they got at the start was little more than a beta. Remember, only those who stayed got it.

And that is why you should drop and not make it an issue or bring up that godforsaken series of threads again, even indirectly.

I don't think the majority of Apple players would complain if the Droid/beta guys and gals got a vanity. Fair is fair, re: the Helm That We Doth Not Speak Its Name. Most are probably just looking forward to getting to play it like me, who have had to sit on the sidelines for the beta. And I know at least I am glad you guys have found the bugs and whatnot with it, so it is better overall at launch.

To sit and lump all Apple players into a category is narrow-minded just as it would be for Apple players to say the same about all Droid players. You should know better.

I brought up the founder helm because what this thread is asking for is more correlated to that particular type of item. Speak of it or not, the similarities are there.

+1

There is NO similarity. Maybe in a year there will be one. I bet less than two dozen founder's helms were actually awarded. Those who played PL when there was one town, a few maps, and a confusing UI, then STAYED FOR A YEAR, are vastly different from those who joined when the game became available on their phone. The difference, aside from the ONE YEAR, is that it wasn't popular, it was virtually unknown. They played and they stayed and they watched it grow.

In a year, if any beta testers are still playing, there might be some similarity. But again, there is a lot more hype now. Lots more people know about it. It's not that you join and have to figure it all out by the seat of your pants.

Not the same AT ALL.

They can I think every beta apk has its own id. And if there's more than one copy on different devices and accounts. I'm sure its a bannable offence sure its not illegal by law but the devs are tracking the beta so it doesn't leak.
