Just got an key yesterday. I’m really happy and excited to try the early alpha on 11/4. The best thing about it is that there are no pictures video or spoilers of the game and I’m going in fully blind.
Correct! Everyone who's seen the project is under an NDA - one of the benefits is that people's first impressions are when they get hands on, and we're getting incredible feedback and genuine reactions that are so helpful to us. Remember, keep your lips sealed on this, no sharing!
Is Alpha closed? I signed up a couple weeks ago and havent heard anything :( Long time RS player here and am SUPER eager to check this out!
The Alphas are closed Alphas, but we're gradually introducing more and more Alpha testers with each phase, and it's selected at random, so keep your eyes on your email inbox for an email from the Survival team with the m.runescape.com domain!
Does anyone know if there's a way to see the legitmacy of the email I received for the Alpha invite? Or what address it's coming from? I just don't want to be phished lol.
Any and all emails we send will come from the "m.runescape.com" domain, so look out for that address. Anything we send will include info about you, the inteded recipient, including your username and first name, too.
Signed up as soon as I found out!! Any word as to when testers will be chosen? Couldn’t be more excited!
Nicely done! We've had an initial batch of Alpha testers that we've contacted, and we'll be reaching out to more in the near future. We're going to keep growing the tester base in phases so if you don't hear from us right away, don't lose hope! Keep checking your emails every week for anything from the RuneScape domain. Thank you! We're so excited at the response.
u/JagexDoom how long would an email take to receive after signing up?
We've sent out an initial batch of emails - check your spam folders, but also, we're still expanding out our Alpha participant groups! As we get more people involved, we'll keep sending out invites. If you've not heard from us yet, that's ok! We're still looking to invite more testers so keep your eyes peeled for an email in your inbox from us.
u/JagexDoom I have discord access and alpha access and am playing the game but I do not have access to any of the discord channels, what should I do?
I've checked and you should be able to access now, thanks for reaching out!
Putting this here so I can find it when I get off work
Commenting below this so you can find it when you get off work.
Hehehe signed up, got to the computer spec parts and now feel I'll get declined cause I've got like maxed out specs PC wise and maybe they're not looking for that 😭
Well, you've signed up - all that's left to do now is to sit tight, and wait for an email from us...
I have a GTX 3070 but the only selection that was close enough was a 1070. I hope that'll be alright?
There should be 30 series cards on the list, I'll have a look in the morning, but please pick the closest series card if you can! Otherwise, hold fire until tomorrow and we'll get the list checked. Thank you!
After Stellar Dawn, I’m very much in a “wait and see” mode.
That's ok! We're very aware that this news may be met with some trepidation but that's the reason we're here today - to ask for help from folks to make this the best it can be. That way, the people who chose to "wait and see", will like what they see!
i've know of the project for a time now via things like job adverts for a "new survival game" and the such, and as a huge survival game enjoyer and runescape addict i'm really interested to see what Jagex can bring to the table, i think the only thing that actually beats my runescape playtime is my survival genre playtime in total.
here's hoping i get in, i'd like to think i know what makes a decent survival game given i've played well over 20k hours of them, i'd love to have the opportunity to help shape one with my feedback.
We're hoping to earn your praise with this one - it's a work in progress, so feedback like yours will be very valuable. We look forward to getting this in people's hands.
If you haven't heard from us by this time next week, don't lose hope, we're going to constantly be expanding our range of testers so keep your eyes peeled for an email from us!
gpu list needs update too, i have a rtx 2060 super. 8gb vs 6gb non super
If it's closer in specifications to a, say, 2070, then feel free to drop that in instead. It's a way for us to get a rough aggregate/estimate of people's hardware and what we're testing for, here!
There is no option for a 3080 ti.
No problem! Just put 3080 for now - thank you!
Hey, u/jagexdoom , do we know a general timeframe on when we should look out in our emails for any type of response on this? :)
We'll be reaching out to an initial batch by this time next week, but if you haven't received an email at that stage, don't be discouraged! We're going to be scaling our tests up and getting more and more feedback as we go, so we'll be in touch soon enough, I'm sure!
If I submitted a response in the first 5 minutes of it being out, just leaving off the last digit, should I fill it out again with the full ID, or notify someone if contacted by email? I don't want to be disqualified by submitting multiple entries.
You won't be disqualified, don't worry - and also, don't worry about being early to signing up! We aren't selecting testers by who completed the form fastest. I really appreciate you being so eager to participate. It means a lot.
I literally pulled over into a gas station to sign up lol.
Don't 'scape and drive, folks.
How will we know when it's been fixed? Signed up as well :)
We've fixed the form and it should be accepting 17 digit Steam IDs now too!
The select menu for GPU model is missing at least a few items. I have a GTX 1080 TI and an RX 6700 XT, but the only options were the base GTX 1080 and RX 6700, which are materially different GPUs. I went ahead and selected the closest match, but the lack of specificity likely isn't ideal for data collection.
Hiya! We initially had an exhaustive list (that was so long that it was impossible to scroll through) but we've bracketed the GPUs and CPUs into their nearest serial point - If you have a 1080 Ti, then select 1080, and if you have an RX 6700 XT, please select the RX 6700. They're different, but close enough that we have an idea of the kind of hardware you have, which is all we'd need to know for now. Thank you!
Fck, don't have my Steam ID at work, hopefully spaces still later D:
We'll be accepting applications for a while yet, so don't worry!
Though, how can anyone work through this afternoon with this kind of excitement!?
In the survey you ask for a Steam 16 digit id, but the steam id consists of 17 digits.
That's on me, I must have a particularly ancient Steam ID - we've fixed the form for 17 digit steam IDs so everyone can complete it now!
