I'm seeing most already using the beta, though I've still heard NOTHING at all. No mail, no links, nothing on the site...
WHAT'S UP PH ???????? Did I sign up for nothing or what ???
Not cool.
For the props : What's up with the beta ???

Oh, please... really?
I think it's *very* cool if they jumble the list of subscriptions up. This seems to be the fairest approach.
(Nope, I'm also not in the beta, yet)
It’s not related to when you signed up. Between the time you signed up an the first wave several days have passed. Enough time for thousands to sign up. They randomly choose a certain number of people in the first wave and add increasing numbers over tge next waves. They did it like this since I first started beta testing Record (back in 2009). So it’s not surprising really and it’s completely cool, because they stick to what they know works well for them. Of course you want to test asap and I understand that quite well, but if you just accept their way of conducting beta tests you might have a better time until you get added.
Cheers!

The question is - Who cares

Ok then. I just don't want to be the one that gets to betatest only days before release...would be almost pointless.Electric-Metal wrote: ↑11 Oct 2017Nailed itGaja wrote: ↑11 Oct 2017It’s not related to when you signed up.

It's a company, they follow procedure and protocol, I know.
Still...
For beta testing in general for anything, earlier and smaller waves of testers tend to find plenty of bugs. Letting everyone in at once can overwhelm the bug tracker; often resulting in many redundancies in bugs reported. Towards the end of testing when bigger bugs have been squashed, then the greater number of testers can be more helpful in finding the more obscure bugs and helping fine tune.

This. The last beta was really a shitshow. Later testers duplicating bugs and really nebulous reports of issues. I wouldn't want to be on the team that siphoned through all that. Godspeed to the props. A public beta is not for the faint of heart.joeyluck wrote: ↑11 Oct 2017For beta testing in general for anything, earlier and smaller waves of testers tend to find plenty of bugs.
