will there be a reward when 1.0 releases for EA purchases/early playtesters?

[sharp shale]

just curious, like a skin or something

game wants to avoid FOMO, so probably not

Would it be possible to receive a Playtester tag or something similar? I don't think a word under your name is FOMO. A skin is too much; many players might not get it, but I think a tag is pretty good.

[misty moat]

There is a tag that exists for Closed Playtesters, but not one for Open Playtesters/Demo playtesters, since the other 2 had 400k+ players, I think the tag would lose meaning pretty quickly. And by now its impossible to track who played the demo/playtest without a lot of admin

Damn, I really wanted a tag like that, not the same one as the people in the closed playtest group, but a different one. So is it impossible to grant one by creating a channel with everyone who has the playtester role or something like that? I don't really know how the keys and all that work.

[misty moat]

The playtester role was granted manually by me from before the EA period, and is no longer being given out. Save data was wiped so that can't be used.
If people had to send proof that they played in the playtest/demo with ownership and playtime, it would become a massive logistical nightmare for whoever had to verify the proof, since there would definitely be cases of people forging images, sharing them etc. Theres no easy way to do it automatically anymore

My question is, since you already asked for proof to grant the playtester role, if it's not possible to give everyone a tag. it's probably difficult, so I understand.

[misty moat]

I never asked for proof for the playtester role, people just started giving it to me one day

[dense stirrup]

lol, I thought it was mandatory, I even sent proof that I played the Playtest

[misty moat]

The main problem is, its a lot easier to give a discord role, than having to generate a unique promo code for every person, that only works once, and for that person, having to get their steam user to prevent the promo code from leaking.

[short lava]

There are no promo codes for the moment. Please do not request them in the general chat.

[dense stirrup]

Yeah, I understand, it's a shame, but it's okay.

[tacit bobcat]

if the devs were to decide on making something like that, a way of doing it could be just by making a channel on discord where only people with the playtester role have access to, then just dropping a limited code there, like if theres 5k people with said role make a code that has around 6k uses or so. Or if its somehow possible to automatically see that you already own the playtest on steam you automatically get it, like you press a button which scans your library and if it detects that you have the playtest version it gives you a title or something similar .
