Whatever happened to expanded ways to join Pioneers?

  • A little while back Joe talked about how they were going to make more ways to get into Pioneer testing, but we haven't heard anything new in months about it or any updates. In preparation for The Arena.

    IMHO one new way should be that any player dedicated enough to play the game and reach Pirate Legend should get an automatic invite, since these are the core players who are more likely to stick with the game long term.

    Any updates about this would be greatly appreciated.

  • @quicksilver7723 Ahoy!

    While we don't know what the exact requirements are to get into the Pioneer Program Rare more than likely has a set of requirements that players must meet before being invited to the program. The program is designed to test future content before shipping it to the wider audience. Pioneers must understand their role within the program and have the capabilities of expressing their feedback in a constructive and respectful way.

    Simply inviting anyone who has reached Pirate Legend certainly increases the quantity of Pioneers but not necessarily the quality of Pioneers. I'm sure as The Arena inches closer and closer to release we'll hear more about how Rare plans to go about inviting more Pioneers to the program.

    Come on now, the exact same topic was started 7 hours ago. Please take your points to that very topic and refrain from making duplicates as per the Pirate Code of these forums:

    Huh that is a strange coincidence, I did not see that one before I made this one. It was probably buried in this forum as it is hard to view all the front page topics in a list since the changes that post previews are enabled.

  • Not wanting to be THAT guy... but it was ALSO brought up even earlier in this topic:
