Titanfall Beta now taking applications, the thread of begging and whining

I think I'm going to call it a night. I gave it my best. Hopefully I have a code in my email in the morning since there is a fuckton of snow outside and I'll be stuck inside.
 
Wow applied yesterday arvo and got accepted into the beta this morning ... I guess I better dust off that Origin app and see what all the fuss is about.
Yep, pretty much this. Got a pop up yesterday morning on ORIGIN to sign up for the beta and received the code at like 5:10 am today from EA.

Unfortunately I have 8 hours of work left until I can try it out.
The anticipation is killing me!
 
I think I've given up for the night.

I just wanted to play the PC version of the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get into any of the waves.

Well, it was a good run guys.

Dude holy shit, thank you so much for posting this. After waiting about an hour for the chat to start I had just read your post, and who is the rep I have? Karan1. I decided to ditch my other ideas and go with your radiostation thing since it worked. Here is the chat.

Karan1Thanks for contacting EA Customer Experience, my name is Karan. How may I assist you today?

youHi there, this is kind of a weird issue but I opted in the Beta for this game called Titanfall. I never recieved an official code from EA, however a radio station here in Los Angeles gave me a code as a give away but it won't redeem on my Xbox 1 system

youI have the code and it appears to be properly formatted, the radio station is a legitimate station, I am just not sure why it isn't working when I redeem it.

Karan1Alright. Let me see what best we can do here in this issue.
youThank you very much I appreciate it

Karan1May I have the email address of Origin/EA account and gamer tag as well just for a check?

youYes, my email address is
youxbox gamertag is

youThank you, sorry for having to bug Customer support, you guys seemed busy judging by the wait

Karan1I would appreciate your understanding.

youYes I understand it was busy, luckily I had other things to do while I waited. It's no problem at all.

Karan1Congrats, Here is the new code for you:

youThank you so much, do I enter this in my Xbox system?

Karan1You can use this code to access beta from XBOX one.

Karan1Yes, You're right.

Karan1I hope I was able to provide you the quality Customer Support experience, Is there anything else I can assist you with?

youThank so much dude I appreciate it

youNo that is all, I just entered it and it worked, you really helped me out today

Yeah, same. They could give out a million PC keys and I'd still probably miss it with my luck. :<
 
FML.

waiting in the queue for EA support. Wait time went down to 20 minutes then its just go back up to 40 minutes.

This could have been so easy if they just sent me the code for the right platform in the 1st place!
 
Is there somebody from Europe who received key already?
I wasn't too hyped for this game but always when there is beta for some bigger game there is this nervous key hunting that makes me checking my email every 10 minutes :)
I must have it!

Again- peasant begging aside and all- I'll totally take your XB1 code since you'll have no need for it ;__; EA can't do anything with it since it's all on MS's end...

Lol I never log in to Origin (rarely use it). Should have done that this morning. Oops!
 
Bleh. I sat til the moment they opened their beta page, which was at 3 in the morning. Only to realize it made virtually no difference when you would actually sign up. Pretty lame move, imo. They could have told us that.

And I have been doing the dumbest shit on Twitter to get a glimpse of a code, for the past who knows how many hours.

Ah well, thats all on me. This game must be really awesome. Giveaway on here was fine but having a "Sorry try again" 3 times after thinking you won, is worse than having a code snagged away in 10 sec on Twitter.
 
EA Support is just saying"Wait till tomorrow" "The system is restricting me from granting Titanfall acess to your account" how are people getting codes pumped out into chat? Asked him to generate me one and he said wait till tomorrow then contact us again? Trying to get my XBone key swapped for a PC key which I signed up for. Argh.
 
I got an hour to kill before bed. I think I'll just ask support for a key politely on the basis of not getting a refund on SimCity and BF4 despite being very unsatisfied with both games.
