The last NXT beta was quite good. I don't see why an open beta can't happen it current form. The client was quite stable for me and showed performance improvements as somewhat promised.

I'd like Jagex to have this as the last closed beta weekend before finally making it open.
Until then, keep up the good work.

Tbh I understand that the 1st beta was for
VIP and If you've had continuous membership
but at least make it so that
players with 10 year capes
or perhaps 5 year capes aswell
can also get involved in this 2nd beta :@ ...


Jagex said Beta Weekends, not Weekend.

The closed beta might have maybe another beta weekend or two. And no, this isn't the 2nd beta as much as everyone would like to call it. It's still the closed beta

Reported a load of bugs during the first beta and still no title :| . Also I would've thought Jagex would have at least had the decency to open up the beta access to a wider range of players this time around.


Same here... No title at all.

It really takes more than just the amount of issues reported. You need to provide clear feedback on the beta both in reports and on the forums. Being the first to report a new issue with clear reproduction steps helps for major issues, not just every minor issue you come across.

It should be awarded the same way as it was with the 2015 Combat Beta where the team that is associated with NXT will select a player each based off of bug reports, feedback and quality of reports. Out of those brought forth, only a handful will be granted the title.

Just to remind people, it was over a month after the 2015 Combat Beta was released before titles were awarded. Honestly I don't see them giving more than the amount that was done in 2015, just 27 to 32 people total gained it.

Also I can't wait for this upcoming event to test NXT again. So much fun to be had soon.

After participating in the closed beta weekend, I understand why it wasn't an open beta. There were too many bugs; some players would not have been understanding of this, and the number of duplicate bug reports would have been even more excessive than it was.

I hope they manage to fix all the bugs reported on the previous weekend, so that we can more easily find new bugs that were hidden by the obvious ones last time. Fixing all that in just one month, though, will be quite a feat.

A lot of the bugs didn't need detailed feedback, there were plenty of obvious glitches that presented themselves without any complex methodology.
I don't know why I bother contributing anything to these forums.
