[QUOTE]Originally posted by ryta1203 [B]well, personally I am losing faith in these "game testers", however, I will wait to see the finished product before I blast anyone. :) (how nice of me right? lol) The problem with most of the "game testers" is that they don't have much time to test. Most of these guys seem to be daddies and working men, who don't have much time (maybe 1-2 hours a day) to due the testing. I just think maybe the game testers should have been picked with a more strict eye, not simply because they have bought a lot of games from Matrix. If you reply to me and my opinion, you are dumb. It is MY opinion. So don't tell me what a jerk I am, or how stupid I am. Or do. I really don't care. I sure hope this game lives up to all this hype and is a good representation of all the time being devoted to this game (time being the length it is taken, not the actual manhours). [/B][/QUOTE] The developer gives out a list of things he has fixed. The testers then go and test that these things have been fixed. If they havent the developer then checks what he/she has done and the we get the testers to test that item again. I have seen our testers find things that the developer never even knew the game was doing. If a tester dosn't test for a pre-determined period of time they are booted out. We do not have slack testers here at Matrix. Testers to some degree have a say in what they would like in the game. But thats dosn't mean that it will go into the game. Anyone that slags off at testers has no idea what the testers do, how many hours they put in. Believe some put in hours that are long and hard and they get to bed very early in the morning because they have been testings. They do it on their weekends instead of going out with the family. I started as a mod maker in this industry. Then was asked by a developer to be a tester for them. I have been a tester for 3 different compaines besides Matrix. My wife has been a P.C widow at times due to me testing till the wee hours of the morning. I suggest that you apply to a game company to be a tester and cross over to the other side and see what it is like.
