I even made a twitter account just to ask higbies & smed about euros and tech/closed.. They didn't answer, which is understandable due to tons of tweets they probably get, but... Meh.

I have a concern.

When I log into one of my two accounts with Beta Access one still asks me to take the survey I have 10 times already. The other does not seem to.

What's the deal? Does the survey still pop up for you guys?

And I am almost sure they read the messages of us asking about EU beta but they don't respond. Why? Probably because the info they have is bad news and they don't want a shitstorm. And if they don't know it for sure, than just say that, rather than saying nothing.

I can't wait!

I expect there not to be one, except perhaps some small one just to ensure the server works properly (perhaps done internally) and to see that the things theyve changed (like currency) works etc.

If there is one, thats a positive surprise, but I'll just think there wont be one and wont even be disappointed. I'll manage on NA servers till launch.

That would be IF europeans even get to play in the closed beta. :/
I don't give a damn if there's a euro beta server or not. I do, however, give a damn if us euros can't play in the beta.

i figure they wouldn't discriminate against region which would allow for around the clock testing.

Coreldan · 2012-07-13, 08:09 AM

Now that I would mind about too, but I believe they have said several times that being from EU does not make you lower priority for the beta.

By the way, leaning towards NC as it's got the colours of my homeland. Ah, patriotism mixed with faction hatred.

I AM EXCITED AND OVER 30. AM I ALLOWED!?!

Same here to all that stuff apart from the bits about being a dad/homeland.

You should join NC and embrace the blue and gold! They appeal to me the most with their big ass abrams style tanks and hard hitting/more accurate weapons. Also like their art style for the most part.

And yes it is allowed!

All tanks or aircraft?

Anything for a look at the game!

If euro players where not goin to be able to help in beta they would not have given out prio beta keys In europe. As in the UK pc gamer. This I have mentioned before when some said this about euro players and beta.

That's a pretty good point actually. No idea why I didn't think of that :]

This.

Enough bitching EU players, you will get to play the Beta... even if you are stuck playing on the NA Beta servers which honestly they might make you do that just to see how high pings affect the game.

So have any EU players got in yet? I got a PCgamer UK key.
