Hello, I've been wondering for a while now whether there will be rewards based on alpha/beta participation? Considering so, most importantly, whether they will be viewable in the Rewards tab as it is in The Division?

It is really something annoying and (for me personally) completely nerve-wracking. I have not been able to participate in FH and I'd hate being locked out of something that is being shoved in my face all the time as a little reminder of the incompletion. Not sure if it's a fact or just people trying to be fancy, calling this thing OCD but nevertheless, I (and I believe I am not alone in this) would be happy if the alpha/beta rewards WERE NOT displayed in the Ubisoft Club's Rewards as it really irritates some people - The Division is the exact thing I have in mind. Do give people rewards but do not notify others of them.
Should this be heard by Ubi, I would be eternally grateful.![]()
More annoying is the fact that no matter you are already registered or not the beta registration button is still visible on the main page (simple boolean check for logged user which can be kept in session if you wish to check it only once because of some crazy database storage issues). Thanks god it stopped asking if i wanted to join rewards program or something like that while not letting my country participate (info in my user account, yes i'm logged in).
The rewards will be shoven in your face nomatterwhat because they are most likely cosmetics. At this point we know only about the emblems/sigils but any possible items will be recognizable as beta rewards, too.
I think that is a little problematic, too. If i get an invite you won't hear me complain..... but i would be very disappointed if i can't participate. I've been hyping the game since E3 2015 and never got the chance to play it. Not getting a Beta-key and would be extra painful if every Noob who cant even name the factions will henceforth run around with beta items. These players should not be rewarded for beeing lucky. If they make the beta open for everyone rewards would be no problem.
I would be completely fine if it were that upon the first login after the official release, alpha/beta rewards would be given out in-game, along with a little message notifying that this symbol (or whatever) has been added to your inventory/collection. Nothing else, no further locked items or anything like that. As long as it does not interfere with Ubisoft Club Rewards, it's all good. Funnily enough, this little thing is big enough of a reason to skip this game, even though I've been waiting for it to come for many months.
It is a fact and I realize that it's a hardly understandable reason for majority of people but how does that make me "not right for the player-base"? I don't mind seeing it on other people or anything, I'm concerned about it being part of the Ubi Club rewards where it would become an inaccessible reward which is a living nightmare for completionists and those who have to have everything checked - supposedly has to do something with OCD.Originally Posted by AlmightyWarlock Go to original post
The only special beta thing I've seen so far is the "emblems of old". It's just a neat little emblem you can display that just means "I was in the beta"
I think a good way of handling this would be:
1.Give the special emblem to people who participate in the beta.
2.If you play against/with someone with the "emblem of old" (or whatever else there may be) then unlock it for those people too.
Then on a long enough timeline everyone could eventually have it.
Personally, I see it as a literal participation award and I think it's a nice gesture for those who get in to the beta but I wouldn't personally be miffed if I were excluded.
That's the very same experience I had. My old Uplay account has all of the AC games (except Syndicate) and the only MP that I found quite alive was Black Flag - pretty much still the latest actual multiplayer. AC3 and AC:R are managable only at specific hours and I usually got to encounter the same people over and over so gotta have that luck to bump into premade groups.Originally Posted by Fatal-Feit Go to original post
Also I'm always really happy to find someone else who cares for more than just simply playing the game to kill time or just have fun. I'm just really hoping this beta award won't go into the rewards tab of Ubisoft Club or anywhere in game where it would be previewed, but locked.![]()
