Because they're probably still updating the test server to have i17 at all.
That or the patch is downloadable but theres hundreds trying to download at once and you gotta wait in line.
Big update perhaps.
Dude relaaaax. Keep in mind, if you aren't invited to wave one of closed beta...waiting all week won't matter.. you won't have access to it!
Wait until you see the closed beta forums show up in your email, you will know you have access then.
It's an 879meg patch

Down for me as well

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
It really is 879 MB O.O
Can someone PLEASE tell me if the i17 beta forums are up or not? I thought I'd be in it because of Loyalty.
Wow 879...have not even got to the downloading stage yet

I'm not going to sweat it today, though. They got started a little late in the afternoon, so I'm guessing they're still getting set up behind the scenes, and I'll know more in the morning.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
1 Thing i've noticed so far, the UI for the login screen, specifically the borders around the text, has changed. A little bit more squareular (Ill make that a word) but still Roundish.
God damn it! Got the patch download, and when it went to apply, it gave an error. Was trying to do something with C:\Program Files (x86)\CohTest/something. Stupid / instead of \.
Closed the update, started it again, and now it's gonna take 3+ hours to "fix" the files! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Hmmm. The test server appears to be up. Upon attempting to access the server, a message appears indicating the test server is closed to the public. I'm guessing the devs are checking to make sure things aren't horridly broken before starting CB.

and someone released that information,
They could be kicked from beta
for disclosing such info.
So no matter how wonderful a person you might be,
Nobody is likely to answer your question for us.

Check under the top level of the forum or under the English level. If you don't see Closed Beta Forums and if you haven't received a email invitation, then you're not in Closed Beta.
And if we're not in Closed Beta, we should stop trying to download the patch tonight so that those who are in CB can.

That's a nice thought in theory, but fails in practice. I had several friends in the last closed beta (for dual pistols) who had no access to the closed beta section--but they could log on to the test server. They would have never known they were in, had they not actually downloaded the patch, applied it, and tried logging in.|

On top of that, it was ALSO explicitly stated before that ULTRA MODE would be a part of Going Rogue. The entire reason I participated in the Loyalty program and dropped that huge chunk of money at one time (when I could barely afford it) was specifically to see Ultra Mode early.
So, now that Ultra Mode is now *seperate?* from Going Rogue, we can't get access to it, even if we qualify for Going Rogue beta?
That seems very faulty to me.
Just sayin'.

It MIGHT mean you aren't in beta yet.
often, they add people in waves.
But then, in past betas, I have known people who got their invites several days after they had been in, testing away.
And there was at least one beta where people did not have access to the forums until they had PM'd the proper redname to fix that for them.

Why is the TEST server down for so long. It just says connecting.... like it freezes up. Whats going on? I know i17 is supposed to start, but it never freezes up the launcher before.
