Yup. Third time. Though playing until 1am is a ball ache

I have filled in the form (more like a survey) twice, but have not had a reply. Has anyone else experienced this?
I was a bit surprised as I have several years experience of working in QA.

Yeah I filled the form in ages ago. Never had anything back at all. I think I own every platform they listed except the XB1.

Horses for courses I guess.

Yeah, I'm the same (though the second time was only earlier today). Guessing they already have enough people for the moment or something. Never mind!

Deleted user 4 May 2014 01:07:45

Really tired after that, I don't often play games for a 4 hours stretch :/

Yeah, I need some dinner...

Enjoyed it though. Pretty impressed all in all.

Same here. I don't think I've had a 4 hour session for years.

That was tough.

Tough but great. Really enjoyed last night even though I was completely exhausted going into it. Really looking forward to the final release now.

I'm guessing this is still ongoing? Signed up but just wondered if anyone else has had an email of acceptance recently?

Deleted user 6 May 2014 10:46:45

PS4 test coming up, haven't had an email so dropped them a line to see if they can fit me in for the test.

Deleted user 10 May 2014 10:40:25

PC and PS4 test coming up next week, got an email about both.

So is this still open to new people then?

Hmmm, no PS4 here, and just got a Mac instead of PC. Wonder if it's worth getting a PS4 for it, or if the MacBook Pro will be good enough for them.

Bumping this.
Is it still worth applying for? Would like to get on this, to be honest.

Got an email about the PS4 testing too. Signed the forms, see what happens. Is it always a Sat night?

Deleted user 10 May 2014 12:42:58

Worth signing up for it and finding out what the deal is, sure. I imagine all aspects (pay, games, etc) are covered by the NDA so people won't (probably) post it up in a public forum.

It's usually a sat night as they are based in Canada so tests run late evenings.

When doing a console test, do you still need to run Skype on a PC?

Signed up a week ago and heard nothing but chanced my hand and reapplied seeing as we got wind of PC test.

Hopefully I'll hear something this time. I read over on GAF that they are taking Euro applications but not so many UK, not sure how accurate that is.

I signed up about a week after this thread was posted, and I didn't get into any until this latest one. I'm surprised I'm not on any of the PC ones.

Deleted user 10 May 2014 21:11:02

Out of interest, has anyone been paid yet?

Deleted user 10 May 2014 22:45:09

I think you get paid about 6 weeks after the program finishes.

Saying that I don't think I'll get paid for the session last week, my laptop decided to install updates while I was filling in the survey, took 30 minutes to restart. Managed to hit the submit button at 2:01

Can't do the PS4 test next week as it's the wife's birthday. Hope they keep me in for round two on whatever it is.

Boo, 6am again for the PC.

@Rusty_M yup. You need Skype running to get instructions and the mod does a roll call every now and again.
You need the PC anyway to enter bugs!

That could be a little awkward with my setup. I'll have to get everything positioned just so. (amd make sure the mic on my headset still works)

Deleted user 12 May 2014 08:46:54

I just use skype on my phone and set it beside me, works a treat.
