Since so many people are part of the loyalty programe, they could you know . . . be treating it as a mini "open beta" and the official open beta being very short lived . . . . .
Take their time! We want new peoples first experience to be nice and polished!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Thank goodness we have another one of these threads. The last one was starting to drop off page one in the Going Rogue forum.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

We don't even know if wave 1 (the 5+ years vets) has started yet. Why are we complaining about wave 2 not starting yet.|

The only phase of Going Rogue beta that has been confirmed to have begun is the Friends & Family portion, which, as I recall, was slated to begin at about the same time Issue 17 went into Open Beta.
No matter how many of these threads get made, they are not going to speed up your beta invite, nor should they. Each phase of beta will begin when they are ready, and not before, and we should be thankful for it.
New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)

Personally, I think they should just push back the beta invite of everyone who starts/posts in any of these sorts of threads.

What I'm more concerned about is what I'll be doing when I get my Beta invite.
While half of me wants to wait out the Beta, thus being completely surprised when GR is released fully, the other half of me wants to take complete advantage of the Beta. I want GR to be completely bug free so that, when the wave of new players come in, they'll not just be satisfied, they'll be in awe.

Protip: The devs said that there were certain tiers of players that were eligible for the GR beta, but they never said WHEN those tiers would be invited or even if they're separating beta entrance by those tiers. Also, there's no set amount of time by which the devs must let another tester group into beta. The beta will progress as it needs to progress, and sometimes things take longer than the developers expect|

Finally, IBTL. We do NOT need any more of these threads.
Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."

I was mistaken. It is still at the top of the Going Rogue forum.

I love how folks think that because they meet all the stated reqs for beta entry this somehow negates the probable existence of a black list that might block them from any closed beta.
Be well, people of CoH.

Any "shakiness and instability" would be because... wait for it... it's still beta. As in unfinished, in testing, in need of work. Expecting it to be otherwise indicates, to me, that you don't want to beta test, just "see the new shinies," which is not what a beta (as early as this probably is) is for.
Oh dear, another one of these threads? Are the thirteen others broken?
Tiers are not necessarily equal to waves. Nor were we told that everyone in a tier would be invited simultaneously. I'm sure that those in control of the inviting know a lot more about what they're doing than the starters of these kinds of threads do, and said people need to stop saying that they 'deserve' their invite.
The last comment wasn't directed at the OP of this thread, more at the mindset of these thread-starters in general. These threads are starting to become an eyesore.
Invites will come to those eligible through the various programs at the appropriate times. Starting threads speculating on the reasons you have or have not made it in yet is non productive.
If we just invited everyone who will be eventually invited now, it would be disastrous for the beta program. There is a method folks, please be patient.
Also remember that in order to be eligible for beta, your account has to be in good standing.

Perhaps this single Mod8 post will help quieten them down when they suggest that because a Red Name has yet to comment, they are right and we are wrong.
Added it to my sig anyway, just in case. Easy access. 
O.o. Thats mockery I pre purchased early and one of the reasons i did was to get into beta. I didnt see any in good standing fine print anywhere.......

Then you need to reread the fine print |

as a member of the community in bad standing, I demand they take as much time as they deem to be needed so as to produce a GREAT expansion!
Test it with all of your might folks! As soon as you can!
There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"
I'd reread the fine print if there ever was fine print -_-........These betas, I can never get in one lol.
