Yeah, still can't login. Thought maybe after they did the reboot I might be able to but I'm still getting a message saying my account isn't flagged. I was really looking forward to it, but hey, it's a beta test, this kind of stuff happens.

Since some things seemed to be "sticky" and other things seemed to be lost, I'm still holding out hope that things revoked when the store went down are more of a beta glitch than a preview of what a live store outage would do. But I'm still concerned either way.

It looks like most of my booster packs are valid, but some oddities: As soon as I accessed my tips window I got my Rogue status back. Still don't have my Incarnate powers. The new/classic team UI window pops up every time I zone. And I lost 3 salvage capacity (on live, due to a reported bug I have 95 salvage capacity), this drops me to 92 salvage. |

Nvm... made it. Guess because the store was down. So Time.... lots of the same animations... and 4 of the powers share 2 of the same animations... borrrrrrrrrring.

I should have:
- 2 for the initial bonus for Issue 12.
- 2 for owning Going Rogue: Complete Collection.
- 6 for veteran rewards.
- 10 purchased (yes, purchased in May) character slots.
- 2 Global slots
- 13 character slots total, which includes the global slots.

Ok so I can't get the IDF gear but I did get the new powers. I design my toon and when I try to enter the game I get a mssg. saying something like: Tried to make too many characters...
Anyone know what that is all about?

Throughout the entire closed beta we were given "dummy rights" that made us have, and then not have certain access, have lower, then higher veteran status, all completely disconnected from our actual live account status. Its entirely possible that the Beta server isn't quite properly processing what it is supposed to, but it is doing it in a way entirely different from how the live server process will work. There's a lot of hinky stuff in there to make a testing environment work, like phony account information for the store (so it doesn't have actual private information or try to charge your credit card) and rigged account status in some areas for testing purposes.|

Unless the devs explicitly state that you should presume for the purposes of the open beta that your beta account should have precisely the same rights as you would expect your live account to have, I wouldn't presume that to be the case just yet.

I am having the issue that I can't log into the beta servers with the account that I actually PAY for, I can with all the trial accounts on my master account, but I get the error that the game is not yet open to the public. Meanwhile my paid account that has game time, just gets wrong username/password error 
.
I'm still getting the "public access to this server is disabled." I've noticed a few others having this issue. Is this a known issue or am I not doing something right?

Ditto. Is there some sort of unseen queue we are in before access is enabled? I am able to login, accept the EULA but after clicking Beta Server 01, I get the "public access to this server is disabled" message.

Anyone else having issues with the beta server not recognizing the purchases you made with the freebie points and not letting you use said purchases?
-edit- blah, in my sleep-deprived delirium, I went to the wrong thread for this. Thanks for the response, Laloca Mo. Sorry, guys.

Alright near as I've been able to peice together, they're Still having issues with the Store & account server accessing properly. Some accounts are improperly flagged as NOT VIP (in other words NOT an Active account) & others are Not Flaggin for the full content they should have access too & once in they will need to access the Paragon Store to Unlock was should be accessable. Unfortunately with the Store down, there's no chance in Hades of that happenning right now. Good news is they are not only aware but Very Actively trying to track down & fix the problem. So don't give up hope yet.
& Welcome to the Insanity that is the 1st Day of Open VIP Beta!

Does anyone know is Powerset Proliferation 3.0 in on this build? I know they announced it and I assumed it was going in I21 but didn't see any word one way or the other.

No, the point is that tying abilities, once bought, to a horrifically unstable authentication mechanism IS DUMB (as in "self-trepanation with a 6" wide 12' long drill bit to relieve a headache" dumb).|

How would you like to be in the middle of a trial like Keyes and all of the sudden NOT have access to your Incarnate slots?
Or worse, be dumped seconds before completion because the market server dumps, rendering everyone non-incarnate and ineligible for the trial?

| Are you reading the image the same as I am? |
If the PM server is this tetchy and laggy with a single server and maybe a couple thousand people, even with some bugfixes, I shudder to think about the effects of the full weight of the game's general population.
Maybe I'm coming across as "DOOOOOOOM", but this "sneak preview" has all the appeal of the CoT redesign at the moment.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Hi Guys,
well was just in the new Atlas and having a poke about albeit limited till the store et cetera comes up again and was loling at this.
Some player was raging because he/she just found out that Beta alts and progress and stuff were not saved after the Beta was over and all progress was lost!
Ranting like mad about it and then after a plea for us all to do the same they rage quited.
We had a huge laugh and all felt a bit happier, so whoever you were, thanks
Happy days are here again (at least for a short time)

My Opinion of the beta testing so far: WAI
I have found one bug I think is funny.... XD
No legs when crouch'd! 
My account are not allowed, it's normal or a bug?
I have purchase 1 month of subscription for City of Heroes.

You give them monies = You get beta access. Trial accounts are the only peeps not allowed to access it.

I make a toon and then I enter game... I get a message that I made too many characters and don't have enough slots. I have zero toons? What is going on?
