Yeah I got the email that says you get to test! Later.  How about you send me that email later, Bioware? WTF? |

So what Bioware is saying is "Don't get a code now and play, it might mess your beta test up later?"

Yea, pretty much... "ok, you get to beta-test this game sometime in the future, but meanwhile don't you dare use the beta-test keys we are going to send out via various gaming sites this weekend!" All this for something that's supposed to be people doing free QA for a game.  (yeah I know nobody actually signs up for betas to do that) [clownshoes.jpg] |

Furthermore given that FilePlanet has a counter up for their keys disappearing that is 7 days, 4 hours currently I would conjecture that it may not be next weekend, more likely the weekend after. Could be wrong on that though.

I am gonna cut you ... edit to add: My status under http://www.swtor.com/tester has not changed at all, but the website seems to be/have been down for maintenance a few minutes ago. |

If you got a beta invite that DOESN'T have a big RESPOND NOW button it it, it isn't for THIS weekend, it is for a future one.
This is fucking idiotic. Because holy shit, like I'm going to download 21GB for a few hours of testing. |

On the bright side. Have to give Bioware credit for giving us plenty of ammo to get this thread to 400 pages.

So i got an invite to weekend stress testing, but the announcement had absolutely no info in how to get in. Being that there is probably a large download involved in the process i certainly hope they dont mean this weekend.

If you can't get into weekend beta. They are slowly letting people in to simulate stress on the login server. SR said to exit the launcher and retry every few minutes. http://twitter.com/#!/rockjaw That's his twitter feed. |

I can get in, but the game is just a black screen with a cursor when it launches. I can hear clicks and stuff when I mouse over things and I can click stuff, but all black screen. This thing is certainly ready to launch in a month.  |

Download.....?
That's not getting into the beta. The pre-launch guild thing is so it sets us up on a server, saves us dicking around on launch day trying to get on the same page. I also just got the email about having another weekend, without a change in status. I won't be testing it any more, but of course if BC is invited I'll make sure you all know here. I doubt it at this point, if they're doing stress testing. |

Yeah I got the email that says you get to test! Later. How about you send me that email later, Bioware? WTF? Considering Bioware's been notoriously late on emails for anything (some people didn't get their real deal "come play this weekend" betas until hours ago), I guess being early for once can't hurt. |

So I got the 'you have been selected to test!' email, but it's for an 'upcoming' weekend test event; there's no 'click here to receive beta' button or anything as some have been pointing out here.
What's interesting to me atm is I cannot for the life of me log in on the swtor website to do any more checks/verification.

The lovely thing is that if you are in the closed beta test like me and want to get onto a lower-pop server, you have to sit through the hour+ queue for your old server before you are allowed into the character select screen which gets you to the server selection. And the queue for doing this is never shown. |

Yeah they are trying to fix it right now. At least the people in my guild who haven't played yet got in. I don't mind waiting it out.

This thing is certainly ready to launch in a month. Are you using an ATI Card and have you updated your video drivers lately? There was an issue with that awhile ago but the latest drivers fixed it for me. |

According to the e-mail I got, Yes. With a stress test this size one has to wonder why. |
