Endless Space 2: Upcoming Content Closed Beta

Hey Frogsquadron.  I've been keeping a close eye on my email account.  I was just wondering, are you able to tell us a point by which if we haven't received an email with an offer that we should consider ourselves as not selected?  I'm not pressuring or anything like that.  I'm just wanting to try to keep my hopes in check and not let them get too high.  Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

I apolgise, but i don't see the reason or rationale for the full name, address, and occupation. Regardless, i have sent an email. I have chosen to exclude that information. if the exclusion of this info disqualifies me for some bizare reason, then so be it. I would love to know exactly what the reason is for amplitude to require this information. if this is simply a beta, i don't understand why any of that personal information would be needed. Its never been need for any other beta i have ever been appart of, closed, open or otherwise. The only time i have even had to provide things like that would be if i were to be testing out unannounced alpha content, that is being activly suppressed for storyline reasons. But considering you are activly announcing that additional content exists, and it is coming on nov 2 for closed beta, all i can imagine this is would be is a new faction, and perhaps an overhaul of some aspect of the game. But even with that assumption, I do not see how that could possibly warrent NDA, which is the only thing i can think of for the personal info.

Devs, plz.

MorallyGray, The information is likely required for an NDA, Since the content being tested is not currently public knowledge Amplitude probably has the reasonable wish of it not being leaked prior to their official announcement (whenever that be).

Excited.

True, while that Is the most acceptable assumption, i simply don't have the capacity to trust them with that info, given the limited understanding as to how that info will be used. If i were to be accepted, and were provided something more substantial to go by, ie a legal document to sign, then i would be more forthcoming with the info. As it stands, there is no legal document here, and honestly, it is just a creepy request. Whatever, time will tell what happens from here. All i can say is if they are looking for testers, and don't want info leaked, then i would uphold that request. 

Oh that's just cruel.  I just got an email claiming my application for beta testing had been approved.  I got all excited and opened it.  Ended up being a fricken spam email.  One I've never gotten before and it managed to get past my spam filter.  That was heart breaking lol.  Crap.  Looks like it's back to the long wait.  Just thought I would post this here so you guys/gals can all revel in my misery lol.

Yeah, it probably is for that reason.  If there is an NDA, I'll have to remember to disable game streaming in steam before starting to test it.

This closed beta will require signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement before access is granted, so that's information we require. If you do not wish to share this information (or sign the NDA), you will not be eligible to participate in the beta.

Signed up! Fingers crossed!

I would be willing to sign an NDA, but i would need to see it and read it first before i provide information. 

We might actually postpone the beta to early next week, as we will be contacting the players selected with the NDA they will need to fill in before we can open the flood gates!

I did not directly cut and paste the questions. But I did answer the questions in order hope thats ok. Choose wisely. Who can I bribe? Whats your guys paypal address lol

Messages will be sent out tonight (a couple of hours from now) with instructions to fill and sign the NDA.

Thanks for the quick response Frogsquadron.  That's a big help.  Really appreciate it.

E-mails have just been sent. Check your spam or promotions folders. If you don't have anything anywhere, then sorry, you didn't make it this time. We had a whole bunch of applicants, so... better luck next time!

Could someone help with "Article 9" filling, is it place and date?

Yup, place and date. The place you're filling this in on. :)

Does anyone know what "place" could be exactly? "My home"? "Place of residence"? Detailed adress?
