Like I said, I didn't get an email. I did log into my account over at the EAMythic betacenter page, however, and my account was already listed as accepted into the beta with a nice link to click on explaining how to set everything up. Not sure if the info there was old and Yahoo shafted me by not giving me the email, or if they just recently upgraded my account (it had to have happened in the last 2 weeks, so I'm guessing this is my CE upgrade). At any rate, it's worth a try if you pre-ordered the CE. |

Well that's weird, my e-mail says something about Closed Beta, but I just got it today. Playing: Star Wars: The Old Republic Waiting For: Guild Wars 2, sort of. |

Basically anything that can give an impression about the game or how its run by the company. People talking about download methods are in breach. Personaly I don't care and for the most part mythic probably doesn't either. I do fear for any game you sign an NDA for though because there are many posts that cross the NDA here. |

That was odd, I was at 15 percent done on a torrent, then I got FlashGet and I was instantly done. I thought it was a mistake, but, I opened up the setup and now its patching. I hope Im not not in for terrible surprise. The patch is 8,477 MBs and it is going pretty quick, about a MB every 5 seconds. Anyone else have this happen? |

Still does not justify the breaking of NDA. Especially the poster who disclosed the alternative downloading method. |

I braved my Yahoo spam folder and did see my invite dated yesterday. So I've been receiving all of the Warhammer newsletters and they've been making it to my inbox without an issue, but for some reason the beta invite is treated as spam by Yahoo. It's certainly worth just checking the betacenter page if you haven't seen an email. |

I followed the patch idea and it finished downloading! I open the game and then it just sits at loading and then I get an error message saying Authenitcation Failed and it closes. I don't even get a chance to put in my account name or anything. What do I do for help since I can't access beta forums?

Sounds more like open beta to me when they randomly invite people though. ;) You know it, the best way to realize your dreams is waking up and start moving, never lose hope and always keep up. |

If you read the email carefully, you'll see it doesn't matter if you get it downloaded today or not. You can't play it yet.
As for breaking the NDA by talking about this stuff on this forum, I highly doubt they are willing or able to track down anyone who mentioned download speeds on this forum and then figure out what their beta account is. |

Originally posted by BRYANBARTLEY You can't play today if you have the client or not. And I would be willing to bet you won't be playing until all CE invites are out to be fair to all CE orders. It would REALLY irk people to have a CE preorder and not have an invite yet while other CE preorders are already playing. 50 kb isn't bad at all! Take you what? 2-3 days? Do some configuring and you can increase that speed. People who get low torrent speeds are subject to 3 issues. 1. ISP traffic shaping 2. Setting up the torrent program wrong 3. Port forwarding. Any of these are easily researched on google/youtube. Did you increase your connections? turn on encryption? Port forward? reduce upload speed to 50%-75% of max to not kill download speeds? If your ISP shapes your traffic you have to wait for off peak hours. CE closed beta isn't up yet so you have plenty of time and they gave you all the pertinent info. Download the client but servers aren't up yet. Why would Mythic use torrents? Well lots of data for a client, lots of people that need that data, and lots of bendwidth needed. Using the patcher(if its DDL) thing draws more bandwidth from Mythic and may cause issues for them. I wouldn't reccomend that until they say its okay. |
