As someone who did not get to play a single play test (closed alpha-beta) and missed my ONLY chance at the gamescom in Germany this year… i don’t mind not getting into the beta, let’s me focus on Arknights more lmao
That's good to hear. At least the non-testers have time to play other games or go back to AK. I'm just kinda disappointed how non-AK CCs are prioritized over the usual players.
@ ig it makes sense they’d prioritize content creators and non-Arknights players to test the game and get introduced, as they know people like us who have been waiting would stay with Endfield all the way (Since changes from alpha to beta were incredible)
3:37 yea this part is kinda random ngl, like I saw some people on Twitter whom doesnt even have a clue what the og arknight is still got chose for the test ( they're not even content creator)
So I get why you're disappointed I also didn't get into the tech test last year and was also very disappointed, but I do have some thoughts here First off, having made Endfield related content was not necessary for the CC program application, you didn't even need to have previous Arknights content. I know creators who got in without having made content around either before. Giving creators outside of the existing Arknights community access is for both marketing and feedback reasons. Marketing is obvious, but getting feedback from people outside the core audience is also valuable as they will have a different perspective (same thing goes for just normal beta testers). When it comes to people who know nothing about arknights getting beta access while long time fans don't, this is ultimately just speculation. We can't know for sure what that split is, and I think there is some confirmation bias going on. People notice and remember the people who know nothing about arknights because they don't like them for that reason. People also notice and remember the long time fans who say they didn't get access, because they're in the same boat as them. We don't see all of the non-arknights fans who didnt get access and just move on not caring that much. We do see a lot of the arknights fans who didn't get access cus they will come out and complain. And the volume of people applying to this beta has been huge, the official discords user count has increased massively since the announcement. It really is just small chances you get that invite, especially when device specs dictate it to some degree as well. HG does use that in picking testers to get as much varied data as possible so they will spread out the invites across various levels of machines. Beta test are for both marketing and the actual testing, so access will be distributed and spread out with both in mind.
I agree with you on these points, so that's why I ultimately accept the fact that at the end of the day, it's just RNG, and HG wants to push for the marketing. Don't rmb if these points have been mentioned in the video or not, but that's my current stance on this. And I also understand that confirmation bias plays a factor in how you perceive whoever gets into the beta. I made this video out of frustrarion mostly, for the fact that the dedication doesn't really pay off because luck has other plans, even though the game will be out in like 4 months anyway.
@@Pestana02 yeah I for sure get the need to rant about it and this wasnt meant to be personal at all, I see the same sentiments you have all over the place
content creators OUTSIDE the game's circle is promotion to get new people who has never seen the game to see the game. That's the reason to sponsor someone outside the circle
Yes but is that really the justification to downright ignore a large portion of the AK players who care enough about the game to actually give constructive feedback? Though if this CBT is just for marketing then there's no point in doing any of these access for the sake of "testing".
@@ProdukcjaFilmowaNo3d I think you would actually be the demographic HG is aiming for, because you are new to the franchise, and they want to hear it a lot from a beginner.
really nice clickbait, I nearly jump on you man but luckily I sat back and watch what you have to say, glad I did it . I also fell the 2 alpha test of HG despite playing this game for 5 years so i feel chu bro(nearly 6 if you count CN server). But at the same time it is what it is I guess cause there's definetely a limit amount of access they giving out so failing it is just like feeling a gacha roll and its normal
Even though it's clear that it's just for marketing, HG prioritized Content Creators over the existing playerbase. And this is not mentioned in the video, but the ambiguity of the announcement didn't help either in terms of whether or not the distribution of beta access has been concluded. The whole point of video was just my piled-up disappointment from the overt expectations of what should have been seen as a gamble for the beta access (which I have already acknowledged).

@@scarletrain7114 True, I hate the fact that what you say is correct to extreme degrees
damn bros angy, start making “fan art” of endfield now just like a certain someone who didn’t get exia
Wait KATAOKA?

Great list of AK content creators in the description!
Day 1 AK player haven't gotten into any of the Endfield betas. I don't really feel any kinda way about it tbh.
That's totally fine.
This is more of a rant of my frustration, and now I have to clarify that I'm not really "crying for a beta access".

No worries, I'm all for discussions and debates
At least we can wait till end of Sending access terms. Few days left so we can still have shimmer of hope
will they be sending out more beta access till the testing date? I really want to try it out myself..
Aperantly they do it in waves. I think last one is on 18th
I was looking forward to that as well, but it seems that this time's a bit different
Aperantly we are not important
@@ProdukcjaFilmowaNo3d I hope this is a valid sentiment and not "being entitled to a CBT access"
