The Stages of Beta Grief

[Jakal]

1. Denial- Hmmm. nothing here. Well im sure my e-mails on the way. Maybe they just lost it. It'll come. It has to come!

2. Anger- Those heartless Sony bastards! How the hell could they not let me into to beta! ARgghhh!!

3. Rationilization- Maybe it was because i didn't grovel enough? Maybe if i worship satan they'll let me in! Please o dark master get me into beta!

4. Acceptance- Well back to the porn.

As if you cant tell i didn't get in. :mad:

I just want to know what the hell is going on. I have heard many different stories and I still don't understand what the offical word is. Its like, Open beta people aren't supposed to be on the beta site, while exclusive are, some e-mails have been sent out, some haven't, don't know if they are still sending them. I just want one straight answer, as of right now everything seems to be screwed up.

I can get on the beta website but I have not recieved an e-mail at all. I just don't get what the hell is going on.

i think if u can get in the beta site then youre accepted for open beta which starts in 2 weeks. Your e mail should come soon.

Actually, Smokejumper said that Open beta people should -not- be able to get into the beta site right now, because open beta hasn't yet started. However, some Open Beta people were let in by mistake, whereas others were not. That's where a lot of this confusion stems from, I think. Open Beta doesn't start for a couple of weeks, and until that time, those who got acceptance letters are still suffering in agony like the rest of us. Muahaha!

Also, I think he stated that there were around 4,000 emails left to go out. That was sometime Friday afternoon. There's still some hope.

Yeah, they fixed it after I read the entire changelog and everything else on the site. Heh. :P

To reiterate:

Exclusive Beta: **Current Stage**

Open Beta: E-mails have been sent out, you need to imput/verify your mailing address to get Beta CD. You will get it (glorious it) in about two weeks and Open Beta will start shortly thereafter. I repeat, Open Beta has not started yet but it will in approximately two (count em', two) weeks.

Release: Open Beta will stop roughly a week beforehand and the game will be released. Then carnage, fragging, fun-filled war cries, sobs of nerfing, balance changes, server updates, and so forth will insue.

Most of us are waiting for the latter. Some for the prior. And if you're one of the lucky bums that got into exclusive, you have an equal amount of envious h8 and teh PS awe-inspiring :love: from me.

I might note that you only move on to number four if your plea to Satan is unsuccessful.

The hell? You say that they have sent out the e-mails? Well I didn't get one, I'm assuming that I'm in the open beta and I CAN STILL view the whole beta site. I thought they were fixing this stuff?
