I just got back into the game after a 6 months break. Are any of my fellow super secret beta Psijic Order members still playing?
Anyways, good to be back!

Rammi✭✭✭the beta before the paid beta :PThe Champion System should have rewarded Champion Points based off of achievements and feats earned through excelling at end game content not grinding your life away vs mobs in order to stay competitive. This system is uncreative and is a great example of extremely lazy system design. Yes, you should be embarrassed6

Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

The Psijic were the first wave of external beta testers, so it's kind of a unique case.
EDIT: It's also not about the guild, it's about them being the first wave of testers, so the forums operate under that assumption. The guild's existence is incidental.Edited by starkerealm on March 20, 2015 11:49PM1 -

As if we're not all paying customers. Hell, I wonder if some of the returning Psyjic will have ever paid a sub fee towards this game.

I suppose it's possible, but it doesn't matter.
At a guess, the Psijic forums were probably set up to deal with beta feedback. At that point, after the game transitioned into an open beta, cracking those forums open would have involved more work. So they were allowed to exist, because, honestly, it's probably a low maintenance area for them.
Either way, hidden forums are a norm on every site you frequent. Without exception. That is one of them.
Also, I'm not a member, I came in with one of the stress test betas at the end.4 -

Exactly what I was about to post, but saying that I can understand folks being cranky over an area of what is now a free-to-all forum being available to a privileged view simply because of the luck of the draw. I'd personally vote to nix it. And that's from a psijic member (though I never did get around to getting added back in).
Also, welcome back SirAndy!I can count to potato.

Well, thinking about it... if you think about the Psijic members as, basically interns (that is to say, unpaid employees), the forum setup makes a lot more sense. And I don't think anyone's clamoring to see the staff board either. Similar basic idea, but, I know from my own history that even mentioning the existence of staff boards on a forum you admin will make some people jealous. *shrugs*2 -

For what it's worth, the forum section is the only thing we got for beta testing the game. No pets, no mounts, no titles, no perks. Nothing special other than getting to play the game a couple months earlier than everyone else.
That excludes the beta monkey pet which was given to everyone who participated in the weekend beta test events.Edited by Tabbycat on March 21, 2015 1:09AMFounder and Co-GM of The Psijic Order Guild (NA)

Getting to put in months of playtime ahead of people was more than enough, IMHO. I still think it was the best version of the game, before people flooded the delves and zone chats, lol.Member of the Psijic Order PTS Group3 -

Yeah, I've got the monkey from the stress test betas. Though, I am honestly surprised they didn't hand out titles to you guys.0 -

✭First wave of marketing hype / demo posing as a beta before then becoming an actual beta pretending to be a finished product for a year.

You did the best you could with what was given to you.Edited by MisterBigglesworth on March 21, 2015 2:10AMReally we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.0
