WHY A CLOSED BETA?
[p]To keep testing focused, all participants agree to a short set of testing terms which are nothing heavy or complicated, but just a few rules to ensure fair play, respectful feedback, and a consistent experience across testers. These also help prevent unfinished content from being shared or misinterpreted ahead of our full release. Before diving in you'll be given a moment to review these terms.[/p][p][/p]
GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK
[p]Once you're in, you'll see dedicated channels on the Discord Server which are available for bug reports, suggestions, and gameplay discussion. We're looking for all kinds of feedback, big or small, so don't feel you have to hold back.[/p][p]So, what are you waiting for? Apply NOW!
