Absolutely in love with my kinetic melee stalker... thank you, devs!
Too bad, I really wanted to read the feedback threads, especially on the new powersets...
It was about 8pm GMT or so that access was opened up for the loyalty customers. So as hard as it is be patient, it will happen.
I shall make a boat of cheese to prepare for the fresh onslaught of whine.
Prediction of top two topics: "I only get in now?! (add "What a ripoff/slap in the face" for flavor.) "Wait, this is it?" (aka "You mean they didn't rewrite every arc in the game and introduce 10 new ATs?") |
hahahahahahahaha that's awesome
it sucks that even though I pre-purchased GR, I can't access the beta server because it says my account payment has expired...oh well, doubt that will change so I guess I am waiting until Live to play it.
And I'm sure there's going to be a LOT to talk/argue about.

Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
Is there anyone in particular us pre-purchase folk should PM for beta forum access; or are we simply waiting for an all-encompassing 'switch'?
Getting access to the beta forums and server is something the Mods can take care of.

Actually, the closed beta started on May 6. That's the date the devs gave during the SDCC2010 panel. At that time, the only thing to test was side switching, Kinetic Melee, and Electric Control. No Praetoria. No Incarnates. And you wouldn't believe the bugs we had to deal with when they tried to open up Praetoria.

DumpleBerry was right: Closed Beta started April 2nd.
(Apologies to Lewis Caroll):
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the NDA, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The NDA, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the NDA?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Actually there were players in the beta before May 6. While I wasn't one of them, I know several players that were, just by posts on the forums. The CoP was active since the first week in May as well.

Give them a bit of time then - it's probably pretty busy for them right now
