Whats wrong with euro players playing on the US server?

100-200 latency is not bad.

No testing for me either after checking my email. Think it's time I took a break from following this game, having Beta teased as always being around the corner is taking a toll on my sanity.

They're just afraid of EU players cause we're better :E

Or they're trying to keep their number of variables down while they focus specifically on hardware issues.

Based on his previous posts on reddit it's much more than 200 so im guessing it's more than 1k.

"we let some in to test latency and other connection related things." -Smed

Turns out that they have let some EU users in after all. Even if they hadn't, it's a small scale tech test, no one has been screwed over.

If they think much more then 200 players is a small test, imagine how many they'll let in when they do their idea of "big" tests.

Even then, it's more important that the test is performed properly. The tech test isn't a fan service, I understand you want to be involved, but they aren't doing this get everyone involved and having fun. If they start cutting EU players for the main beta, which will be multiple magnitudes larger than the tech test, then I'll stand by you to complain. Right now, I don't personally agree with the complaint.

But, like you said, we have a lot to look forward to with the main beta, that's when my F5 key will be broken.

Yup i know. I just don't like the fact that NA players are favored (at the moment).
