So will people who play the beta get like a free skin or art or something or  maybe a special title that shows they were in the beta?

That would be great a nice ingame or forum title that says "beta tester".

I would not be playing the game just for some reward. the reward for playing the beta to me is for the priviledge of playing the beta to help find bugs and fixes.

I agree that playing the beta and helping make the game bug free is it's own reward.


Having said that. The forum title would be cool. I'm a bit hesitant about giving in game rewards out unless they are made available to everyone at some point.

Beta rewards are pretty awesome - an it's really more than just for 'testing' their game. It shows that the developer appreciates the community that has eagerly been anticipating their game for months. I love rocking out my Bowser Rammus and Black Alistar in League of Legends. Limited edition skins for beta players is pretty rad and makes sense to implement from a developer perspective.

I think it depends on if the beta is invite only, or public.  Usually if it is a public beta and people participate they get to keep their experience or perhaps a fan appreciation skin would be nice.

[OwnageDaPwnage]

Yeah something like that

I just want to play it to play it...before the fall semester comes

I agree, it's cool enough to feel that you've helped out the developers, With that said, i wouldn't mind some sort of unique item, either in the forums or in-game. It would be a way of the people at Ironclad to say thank you for your contribution and help

[Martiniondarocs]

I agree and like everything said thus far in this fourm. The self pride knowing that you had a hand in making the game polished and balanced is one that can only be given to a beta tester. I do also like getting some sort of visual award too because down the road (possibly years) you can show off that visual. When a person who just started play a month or so ago sees it they know that you are a veteran and dont joke around. "wow not only are you a high rank but you also participated in the beta. This guy is no push over!"

In a MOBA community?

No thanks.

A walrus skin for the Abominaton would do just fine

[FleurDeMur]

Darnit Werewalrus, I can't counterargue that! I hate to say it, but a walrus skin would be pretty amazing.

[IanD967]

How would it work for that Champion? xD

[FleurDeMur]

How does Tango Evelynn work? Mundo Mundo? It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to make sense.

Tango Eve = sexy (though, I even find her sexy in her normal Superhero outfit)
Mundo Mundo = Halloween?

[WeReWalRuS]

Abomination Walrus = beastmode x 10, with a little sexy thrown in

[FleurDeMur]

Exactly. Quite a few of the League champion skins make no sense given their lore, but they still work with the champions. Walrus Abomination makes a certain amount of sense.

EDIT: Just had an idea. I think it should be Werewalrus Abomination, where during the day, he looks completely normal, as well as on the splash. As soon as it turns night, though, he should turn into a walrus.

Not that a hot character female to play in games is bad, but I kind of hate how every female in LoL except yordles were made to look exposing and sexy.  I want to see an ugly beast like that centaur female in Sins.  I don't know why, but I want to be grossed out by some of these heroes and not have a regular old standard attractive female design with cleavage.
