Discussion - Join the CoH Devs in the Keyes Island Beta Test!

Same here Hatchet, No one in my Group can get in.

Ouch. Beta isn't the same as Test. I have the wrong thing installed

Now I'm under the impression this "Beta" is a closed beta. I've looked everywhere in the NCsoft website but I can't find any contradicting evidence against my account being eligible for any open beta.

As far as I'm aware, the Beta's SUPPOSED to be open to EVERYONE today for this. Sadly, some people (like US) are having a glitch. They said they're looking into it, but at this point... the damage is pretty much done. Looks like we won't be experiencing any Incarnates Ascend content for a while now.

Hey, wait a sec... just a thought. For those of you having issues, was your account paid up when the big server merge happened?
EDIT: The reason I ask is that I remember reading the merge deleted Beta characters that were saved before the merge; maybe the glitch is for people who weren't paid during the merge?

I reactivated my account after the merger.

And I tried to use the character copy tool to transfer my Lv50 over to the going rogue test server (I hope that was the beta server.)

Two words...

HATCHET SMASH!!!


But in all seriousness. I am not pleased with this turn of events.

It is a shame we can't participate. But what can we do really? Let's clear up this thread and keep it positive. Maybe throw down some Screenshots of your own Steampunk character to show off to others.

Disappointing as it is, we are the first testers to find a problem. I don't think it's a problem the Devs were expecting...and it wasn't entertaining to find...but in our our small way we've done our part. (Cue inspirational music)

I'm pretty sure those who actually were able to get in, if anyone was, probably checked for updates a few times. Because that's what I'm doing right now as the idea hit me like a lead pipe to the chin. Unfortunately, probably too late to get my hands on a steampunk pack.

EDIT: That plan was blown to pieces.


Anyway, I give you the gift of character.

Lets start up this Steampunk show. This character is my Tech KM/WP Scrapper. The costume came out more Noir then Gaslamp but still love the style.

This next one is self explanatory.



I was originally gonna call this one "Time Space Continuum gone wrong" but I'm sure the better name would need not be said.

Because everyone loves inter-dimensional paradoxes.

Not to be rude, but... do we get some sort of compensation for being left out of the Beta? I'm really bummed out that I didn't get to go... Plus I missed the chance to win a free Booster!

No code, but I did catch some of the fun on film, including Null the gull!

This is an awkward complaint of mine, if I were to update the Beta server would that data have to be re-downloaded for live. Basically will I have to download the data twice: Live + Beta?

Also, I can't avoid this, but 4000MB is incredibly big for me to download - It is a quarter of my monthly limit. Whilst I realise there is likely no way around this is there an alternative that may reduce this, compression for example - I have very little computer experience.
