  1. I logged my second account in just now and saw the NDA so yes it does appear to be still there. How odd.

    If you accept the EULA, then pick the Beta server then you will be presented with an NDA to accept.

    You accept this before getting any further, so be aware, as these are the public forums...
    As of 4:00 PM Pacific yesterday the NDA is no longer presented when you login. Only the EULA shows. Sorry it is now in open beta not closed.

    But I declare that the fact that it used to drop into your tray was a bug and they have clearly fixed it so it behaves like the other optional powers now.

    Eco.
    Yes it is in open beta now. Mind you there is a nice forum for discussing all things Freedom Beta related at the top of the forums, but it is ok now.
  5. I think scyfi could be turned around but it would require someone who knew the product to do it. Just someone who is a generic manager is never going to manage to pull it back.

    What is this really stupid obsession with the rest power?

    I have to go and add powers to my tray by hand for movement at 4 so why on earth is this a problem?

    I declare that this is normal behavior and think that they fixed the bug where it would force itself unwanted into your power tray.

    It works great. When the store/account server doesn't crash under the load. And that is one of the points of the open beta. It gave them a massive wave of incoming traffic to stress test the new store/account server. It didn't hold up under the stress so they will need to expand it's resources to handle it.

    The fact that it crashed and burned the first day is actually a decent sign because this gave them good solid data on how much they will likely need to scale it up for a live release.
  8. After they went and setup 2 servers to test the market they kept the second server and reconfigured it as a separate Beta server. This allows them to test the new issue while keeping the test server open to test and release patches and the like to the live server.

    Free players are restricted. I got my account authenticated earlier and even unlocked some of the extra power sets. I think beam is the only one I don't have unlocked.

    Anyway once the account server is working again you should get awarded your correct Vet status.

    -edit- blah, in my sleep-deprived delirium, I went to the wrong thread for this. Thanks for the response, Laloca Mo. Sorry, guys.
    yeah some of the things I bought I have. But the last thing I bought a Paragon Police costume never got delivered.

    Yes well its a good thing that it will take me a bit to get home then. ::sigh:: Now if this last computer would finish installing Win Xp Service pack 3 I could shut it down and run home.

    Yes and for some things that theory may work but in general that theory is junk. Not at all accurate. A manger can mange ok without understanding what they are managing but they will do a superior job and manage much better if they understand their product. Unfortunately that view doesn't prevail in the business world so we get lots of people like this who don't know the first thing about what they are managing and think they don't need to know anything.

    I keep reading that there is some setting you tweak or it will do this trickle download instead of the full regular one. But I'm not at my home computer so I can't look.

    American English. I read to many British published books it gives me slightly odd spellings that I see as perfectly normal because I see them all the time. ::sigh::

    Odd, I got 1.8 gigs downloaded and installed in about 2 hours a few weeks back when I updated Beta with the big patch to it.

    Level 20 - 25 Praetoria zone,

    Rework of oroborus, New power sets to play. I think you might find some stuff.
  20. ::grumble:: hey I didn't post the picture of the creepy smiling guy to go with peek.
  21. Well sets, I had resigned myself to testing time manipulation tonight, not that I mind the idea of time manipulation, but now I can test street fighting.

    oh and costumes of course and costume slots.

    also if we're all VIPs then shouldn't we be able to see the section of the forums for said beta that contains all the patch notes(which in all honesty is 70% of what i care about when i'm let into beta) assuming there is one.
    Zwillinger said that the beta forums will appear magically when the VIP beta starts. So we can't go and peak in there early I guess.
  23. So the important question is how will you spend your 10,000 Paragon Points in the VIP Beta?

    I love my /auctionhouse command and hug it and squeeze it and I'll name it george.
  25. Yep level 4 has one of the dead spots. I usually make a point of street sweeping a bit during level 4 to avoid this very fate. But I still can spend maybe 5 - 10 minutes street sweeping to get to level 5 at the end.
