Official Looking for Testers!

Not open for further replies.
I would be more than happy to test the new patch. I'm in Australia, on a decent pc and with over 900 hours (no afks) of Terraria under my belt.
 
I'm a really big fan of this game (>500 hours), but I don't think I go deeply into advanced mechanics (maybe I do more than I think?). Plus, I'm not really that into Terraria right now (but testing might make me). So I'm not sure. I would PM, but I don't know how I'd format it. :/

This is something Cenx (probably with Redigit & Crew) are reviewing in the e-mails and conversations. Making sure who to trust, why to trust them, and what exactly they can contribute to the development. They want people who are elaborate (not exited for the 1.3 spoils), but everything they have been given to check off, test, take notes, and feedback.

Even though you are going to be spoiled out because of the 1.3 features that are in that copy, they expect you to be professional about it, and deal with it like any typical version of Terraria. I know a lot of people are excessively excited about 1.3. It was only a year since Redigit returned to start working on it again, we don't want this to be the end again. So the applicants should be weary that what they are offering to do, could also result in complete disarray if not done correctly. However you are not doing this because of "Oh my god, yes I have 1.3 in my hands". No, you are doing this because "I will dedicate myself to make sure that 1.3 will be a great experience for those awaiting the final product. That they are satisfactory with the new updates and do not come across game-breaking glitches or bugs."

Some Tips:
  • Provide personal information, you are going to be part of the team of testers and communicating with developers hands-on.
  • Be mature, and of age. Not sure what the age limitation is on this subject, but take it you may have to be 13 or older, and if worst: 18.
  • Have your computer setup right: Notepad ready, communication tools read (skype, steam, etc). You'll be talking to devs one way or the other.
  • Take notes as you go through the game, everything you encounter could be a bug, take note of it. Detailed and step by step. If its nothing, the devs will most likely notice it based on your detailed notes.
    • If it feels out of place.
    • Something didn't look right.
    • Something stopped functioning or acts strange.
  • Provide your System Specifications, they are obviously looking for 1-2 Mac/Linux testers specifically too. Since it is confirmed that there is development for those operating systems.
  • Language barriers are also important, this game needs people with exceptional language skills in other countries!
    • If you know a second language, provide it!
  • Google up NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), make sure you know whats coming to you if you get picked, assume you will be picked so you are prepared for what is to come!
    • You are dealing with rights and laws, serious business (Don't take it harsh, but take it respectfully.)
    • Serious consequences can result from violating these agreements. If you never been in a situation that is serious, this might be a good time to rank up to a get-to-know basis.
  • Do not say "I spend a lot of time on it". Time may be of the essence, but quality is too. We want people to check thoroughly through the game, exploit the un-exploitable!

This is exceptionally good advice and should have been on page 1.
 
Cenx, I am in for this project, I believe that I am an advanced player considering that I have finished the game many times over. I hope that I can contribute to project 1.3

I would love to test Terraria 1.3 on windows
 
Im Interested For Testing Because...
I Can Just Look For Bugs And Report It So It Could Be Realesed Faster So The Devs Can Just Sit There And Look At The Bugs ;):redmunch:
Also Look For Glitches...
 
I sent an email yesterday, so I'm totally in (I hope?) Also, telling you that I'm in is a little late, but still. Totally psyched for 1.3!
