I just want to know who I peeved off that I'm not getting closed beta invites anymore... :|

I feel like I'm in the same boat too. Didn't get into this or last beta, was computerless for the one before that, though I did have an invite. /sigh. i LIKE beta testing stuff. Far more interesting then playing on live.

I'll probably be too absorbed in the shinies in the CC

So will everything be available. Beam Gun and Street Justice in particular?

SilverAgeFan · 08-09-2011 06:20 AM

Looking forward to copious amounts of screenshots of all the new goodies. The next two weeks are hellish for me so best I'll have is 10 minutes here and there to check the forums. But very excited to see all the new shinnies!

I can see it now. Some poor person wandering around Virtue shouting. "Hello! Anyone here? Anyone?"

When you think about it it's a clever ploy to be opening the beta now just before the 2x weekend. With many of the "oldtimers" likely spending more time on Beta in the next few days it'll mean that the Live servers will be a little less crowded right at the time they get loaded up for the mass of people playing the 2x.

You should find a Navigator who doesn't get Lost to help you out. Energy Aura has a lot of subtleties.

I forsee multiple copies of Time Manip characters running around....And that's just my characters...

Since we know from Zwill that Street Justice and Beam Gun aren't going to be available right away, what are you all going to make?
