    What's the main goal of this CB? Systems and load test? With the game being out in China since Sept, I'm assuming that most or all of the basic bugs have been worked out. What sort of feedback are you looking for from the testers?

    Which Module will XB1 start with? i've seen conflicting releases saying "all content" but also Mod 4 I believe. maybe 5. Are future mod releases going to be identical to the PC release, including aspects that were overwritten or fixed or tweaked in subsequent mods?

    What population / geography will each server support?

    Will there be a gateway / sword coast adventures for XB1? Maybe an easy link in the game to the IE app in XB1 to quickly switch? If so, I'm already on it regularly for the PC version, how will it work for XB1? Just more characters in my char list?

    Can I have a puppy?

    Where / how will the Foundry creation tools be implemented? Any base foundry quests created by devs be available at the outset?

    If I have a beta key for this CB, am I automatically in future betas?

    Since the game has been out in China for a while now, do you anticipate going to OB or even full release relatively soon?

    Any word on founders packages for XB1?

    Why hasn't Wile E Coyote sued the Acme Corporation for defective products and personal injury yet?

    thanks!

    So that we can budget

    Which would be more expensive: Buying a new Xbox 1 or buying the RP needed to upgrade your mainhand to legendary?

    Serious question because this might hinder the popularity on the console platform.

    Will we still be able to create custom chat channels, and have zone, trade, and lfg chat things. Not that I use zone, trade, or lfg, but just asking.

    I have a few questions about the Future and also the Closed Beta.

    1. How many Beta Invites were sent out?

    2. Why was a Closed Beta necessary?

    3. Will the Xbox Version have Seasonal Events and Monthly Events like the PC Version? (Fall/Summer/Winter Festivals and Gifts/Defend Events)

    4. Will Foundry Play any part in the Xbox Version?

    5. Will Zen Specials and Sales be the same as PC for the Xbox Version?

    6. Will there be a fully functional and separate from PC Zen Exchange on the Xbox Version?

    7. Will there be any way to link your Xbox account with a Arc/Perfect World account in order to use the Free Zen promotions with Surveys and Offers?

    8. How will updates work in the future? Will the Xbox Version catch up to PC, or will we always be a little behind in content and patches?

    9. Lastly, one a lot of people are curious about deep down.... Can we expect to see an Open Beta in the next few weeks?

    All I can think of off the top of my head, otherwise some other posts have covered them.

    No, Beta characters will not transfer to Live. Keep in mind also, this is Closed Beta, and the first weekend of that.

    I'll try to help out by answering a few of these.

    1. You can have a group of up to 5 members currently. Companions do not count as a group member, so 5 players and 5 companions.

    2. Yes, there is no NDA on the Closed Beta so you can stream your playing.

    3. Today at 1:00 PM PST there will be a Dev Stream on the PerfectWorld_Community Twitch channel and they will be giving away 20 codes. Otherwise you can hope for another e-mail wave tonight.

    1.) Will the Xbox One version get periodical updates as the game evolves, much like the PC version?

    2.) Will there be a physical copy of the game to buy, or digital only?

    Thanks, appreciate your time.

    1) Yes. Xbox content will be "shortly" behind PC content due to vetting of content through Microsoft takes a little time.**
    2) nothing to buy. the game is free to play.

    ** said by Travis during the DevStream today.

    I think this should have read "yes, characters will be wiped out once beta is over. Stuff done now will not carry over once the game goes live." And of course, Live and Open Beta are used pretty interchangeably nowadays, but Closed Beta progress never carries over.

    Other information is:
    1. It has smartglass support (chat ingame with Smartphone\tablet keyboard)
    2. There won't be a open beta since the full release of the game is soon.
    3. Minimap might be added if enough people want it.

    Just to ensure a Dev/Akro notices this thread on that matter: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?840971-Xbox-One-s-lack-of-a-minimap-is-truly-horrendous

    I really don't get why it was removed, it's pretty much unacceptable to me, and it really should be added. I'm perfectly ok with delaying the official release longer if it means a minimap will be added. I'm sure any RPG fan would be too. So far literally everyone that's posted is in agreement with me that it should be added.

    I think a minimap is rather integral to any MMORPG, so count me amongst the group that would want one implemented. I don't know any people that wouldn't want a minimap, but I'd love to hear the reasoning as to why they wouldn't.

    EDIT: Misread your post. I thought you said "against", not "amongst".
    Please post in the thread I linked to about it too though, I'm trying to collect all feedback on it there.
