    Because I lack the proper words.

    There is no mention of NDA. Im just simply asking a question, no reason to start making replies like that.

    Pellinore,

    The only e-mail I have seen lately is about battling the developers in PvP, and I assume that was because I was in the Alpha test.

    You cannot speak about Alpha testing in public boards, anything including you're in Alpha or asking for details. Posts were removed and edited due to this and I'm stating this publicly here so here is no confusion.


    If you have any questions ask your Community Manager or EUROPEAN Community Manager how to do things under NDA or post on the Alpha Forums or make a support ticket if you're having problems if in Alpha.

    Only when the NDA is announced dropped by your Community Manager can you then speak about your experiences and inclusion.

    Traditionally, alpha ends when beta begins. They do not run concurrently.

    Lest's just say while NDA means I can't mention specifics, Cryptic does things differently with this game.

    There's almost always a closed alpha running alongside short beta weekends.

    Well, would you rather have accessed it, did something routine, and crashed it being unable to reload the client and play the game at all?


    because I noted that market was very small compared to the rest.

    Unfortunately no Beta invite for me as of yet. :(

    I want to buy the Guardian's pack, but I just cant do it (been burned by too many other games) until I actually see the game and can test it myself.
    "We know that the sheep live in denial; that is what makes them sheep. They do not want to believe that there is evil in the world...The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog...He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep...Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep...Until the wolf shows up. Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog.

    Ask your government about pricing not PWE

    All posts asking abut pricing here in foreign currency will be removed. If you need help understanding your country's exchange/excise rates contact them, not PWE. There will be no other responses.

    Well, you lost the sale then, since you are doing it wrong, and refuse to talk about it as well. Guess you make enough money then.

    QFT, how about a DEV reply as to why the game isn't downloadable, isn't accessible, isn't ...well, ANYTHING currently. IF this were a BETA that I was invited to, at no cost, I wouldn't be complaining.

    As I paid to play, at this point, the company is really only ticking off their potential playerbase.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go rant on other gaming forums, FB accounts, and Twitter as to how crappy this situation is. Oh, and contact my CC company for a refund, as I've paid for a good or service that was not provided.

    /signed, irate nerd.

    They cannot do anything about exchange rates! Price was set in USD, deal with it.

    Did you get the $60 pack, or the $199? Why pay for just beta? Look at the value of the other items in the package to really decide imho.

    i think PWE need to do a big turnaround on this beta access malarkey. They are alienating many potential players with the 'confusion' surrounding access to beta.

    If the servers are handling it i say roll it out to everyone this weekend.

    They would annoy those who paid the $60+ for it and would not be a good idea, however they should add the ones who purchased the starter packs in later betas though at least, even though it was pretty obvious (at least to me) that it didn't include beta access.

    hmmm i see what your saying but giving access to all purchasers shouldnt upset people, surely PWE would want to stress test servers and have as many players testing as possible.

    i agree it was obvious to me that the last pack had no beta access, but what about people who got keys elsewhere other than founders, it was very unclear they would not be getting beta straight away.

    I got keys from Torchlight 2 and STO lifetime, it was a bit of a surprise, but not a huge deal. If I really want to play this weekend I can buy the appropriate pack, but that shouldn't be the only reason for purchasing, however for those who ponied up the cash right away its not an issue they get first access.

    A lot of betas tend to be staged, with more and more invited in until open beta to really stress the servers, before that it tends to be more limited.
