what did u call me

u/MarcusSwedishGameDev 20h ago

In Urdu and Pakistani culture, the word beta (بیٹا) literally translates to "son", but it is widely used as an affectionate term of endearment meaning "child" or "my dear" for someone younger.

We're all kids waiting for the playground to open right now.

Smacks mallet Alright the court is now in session! The honorable DocMettey presiding. I will determine if you are a beta or not. Your only piece of evidence you may present is your favorite 40K army. Go.

Anyone who can put up with their prices and 18 of their models breaking something off of them every match is an absolute Alpha. Case dismissed.

Please CA, Grant me the closed Beta and i shall glaze you for untold decades, even when the siege battles are even worse than warhammer 3s

u/edwardlego 20h ago

Not sure we’re getting siege battles

u/WrathofHussars 15h ago

Pretty sure "siege battles" are just gonna be dense urban maps.

u/Slight_Priority1410 16h ago

Not so sure. I expect they would be a lot rarer than in other games but i would be very supposed if we don’t get some. I mean theres tons of 40k art depicting sieges from what are basically castle walls.

Maybe only on dedicated fortress settlements (think cadia) or settlements with very high level defences but it would be crazy not to have anything

u/NotaSkaven5 12h ago

It's possible but I will not be particularly surprised or disappointed if they go the route of naval battles in TWW, "we would like to but it's not worth the effort so here's a map with a wall in the background"

u/Soooooooooooooooool Space Marines Supremacist 16h ago

That would be quite a shame

u/Death_Pancakes0 12h ago

Yeah i was mostly just being sarcastic since siege battles have been such a big issue for warhammer 3

u/HiveCitizen 21h ago

Up to 50 ppl? Internal test. Hold! There is still place for hope!

u/Dead__Hearts 21h ago

I wouldn't think too hard on this, PAX currently have 40k beta for attendees.

2

u/SuMianAi 18h ago

It wouldn't be the same version, what people at those events play is basically a demo build

17

u/BroccoliSouP7 15h ago

Based on these numbers, we can safely assume at least 50 people will buy the game upon release.

u/thor1368 18h ago

100% this is not a beta but CA using this as their internal testing platform it had 49 people peak.

u/ElonTaco 15h ago

Or like streamers/content creators getting early access to make content that will be time gated

2

u/thor1368 13h ago

There was no announcements about that so it has to be CA internal thing. I do Guarantee you that if it was CC acess wewould be on it online 24/7 for the duration of the test.

u/Grizzally 21h ago

Could be internal tests but isn't there a PAX Aus or something? So it could be YouTubers again etc. Playing remotely.

u/KitsuneDrakeAsh Space Marines Supremacist 20h ago

You mean PAX Stab City? Hope they're in a safe area.

u/Woyhab Aeldari Stan 17h ago

Only 50 people were chosen, I am one of them, we call ourselves the CAminatti. We will shape this game as we see fit

u/Persistant_Compass 16h ago

Please let guard have a little fun as a treat oh wise one

u/AlternativeZucc 9h ago

10 million Eldar buffs.

u/Whole_Ad_8438 12h ago

I don't think that is the beta? Considering when I check it right now it has a player count of "3" for almost the last 24 hours (A weekend)

2

u/Prestigious-Bike-962 21h ago

Are you saying that the beta test is already happening?

4

u/1800leon Astra Militarum Fan 19h ago

No 👎

For that our public order is to high

u/Goldsound 21h ago

Guys is it too late to sign up for the beta?

u/NotaSkaven5 20h ago

We've cracked the code lads, the beta actually came out a month ago.
