And the forums are back, yay!
It's not that I want to post random stuff, it's that the initial testing is being limited to >=25 posts, so I have no access at all, regardless of what I post, unless I accumulate that many posts. I'd love to just join in the discussions, but there...aren't any. I presume most of the day-to-day stuff is happening in Discord or in the YouTube comments on Corey's channel, because the only live threads here seem to be discussions about whether Battlefront 2 is a crappy game or the crappiest game. I don't own it, so I have no perspective. Maybe this is just a lull where the demo has been discussed to death and everyone's just waiting for 2.2b to go live, but it leaves me grasping at straws for any sort of interaction.
At the same time I feel that a desire for early access is the only reason to do unpaid testing. Unless one has an interest in the subject, why spend time dealing with bugs in an incomplete product? I've always viewed it as a trade; I want to play with something, the developers want to know what works and what doesn't. I don't do a lot of testing, because frankly it turns fun time into work more often than not, but I guess I'm feeling...protective of the EU? Like I've been so disappointed by everything Star Wars of late that I just want this to be good.
