Even with the Loyalty Program which guarantees you access to Closed Beta, that doesn't mean *ALL* of Closed Beta. As the Loyalty Program announcement was very specific in pointing out, Close Beta access happens in waves. No one is guaranteed entrance to any Closed Beta from day one.
If you get into Closed Beta before it becomes Open Beta, then you got in. Doesn't mean you get in right now.

Also, I find it interesting that all the Test Server patching didn't start happening until a time when most of the Dev team *normally* goes home...?
A little strange.
They may "continue" their closed beta process tomorrow morning when they go into work and unlock access for beta testers... Who knows.

And also, I can't access the test server either. Says public access is restricted.

Copied and pasted from the launcher. Granted, it's just as likely that they'll patch it in later, since they may want to do focus testing on specific features before they bring a brand new, potentially complicated power set into the mix. Otherwise, most testers might be too busy making their hawt erpeez succubi toons to provide quality feedback on the other features and changes.
I dont know about the whole email for 'your invited' thing. I've been in a couple, even the Dual Pistol one simply because I held my account active, yet i've never recieved a single email about it. /em shrug

The hero login screen music has been remixed, too. The percussion have more reverb, the background strings are more prominent during the crescendo of the main theme, and the overall loop is much shorter, making the theme heard more frequently. Nice little tweaks, I'd say.

Just relax. In the past, Issue closed betas were sometimes open only to devs and their closest friends/family for the first few days, just to be sure everything was running smoothly.
Just because you're not in the closed beta yet doesn't mean you've been unfairly snubbed; chances are, everyone under the loyalty program (and/or have been subscribers since day one) will get their invites all at once, and soon.

They also at the same conference explicitly said they'd do their best to get Ultra Mode and some other things out in a small publish before GR. If you're going to try to base your nerdrage on specific details, at least try and account for all the details.|

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? |
Otherwise the faulty logic lays with you, not the devs.

There's so way of knowing if Demon Summoning is actually being tested at this moment. Unless you are a.) In the Closed Beta, or b.)Someone you know is in Closed Beta and broke the NDA.

Or has good logic skills. The test is for the next issue since DP was tested separate from it thin DS probably will to.

I can only assume The Coming Storm got the idea from the below quote. Rather or not Demon Summoning is being tested now.. or will hit test in a few weeks is unknown, but the folks who prepurchased Going Rogue will have access to it in April with the launch of i17.|

I really should do something about this signature.
I think test server is still down.
After the queue fiasco with the dual pistols beta testing, perhaps they are inviting waves of testers a little more methodically.

Can you provide a link with the above information? Where on any announcement does it say that DS would be part of i17? I haven't read that anywhere. DS is part GR, but they are testing DS so you can use it in April if you pre-PURCHASE GR. No where have I seen anything that said DS magically, for no reason, became part of i17. It is not part of a FREE issue, it is part of a PAID expansion.|

On the other hand Ultra mode is obviously not a GR exclusive. Like others said, the devs announced that if they could implement it before GR they would, which means its not exclusive GR content. If it is not GR only content they owe you nothing for your loyalty.
Sorry buddy! I wish I was in too, but you can only hope and wait. You won't have to wait that long to get in open beta anyway so no worries man!
I for one can't wait to see the awesome visuals and additions that take up almost 900MB for an update on a game that is only about 3GB!!
Excited!!!

Seeing how little time is left before April, people are assuming that Demon Summoning will be tested alongside Issue 17.
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'.
