Guild Wars 2 Press Beta [Prepurchase Is Live]

Not open for further replies.
Dammit I applied on like 6 different machines with multiple accounts, and so far nothing...oh well I can pre-purchase soon. Plus I did get into the DOTA2 test this weekend which I was also hoping for :)

However I will still mash f5 like a mad man all weekend even though I know it won't help :(
 
If you say "I can't say anything I'm bound by the nda" you are saying something. You are saying you're in the beta, which breaks the nda agreement you 'signed' by accepting.

Say nothing. Nothing means not mentioning it at all.

I doubt Anet is going to care all that much. The real issue here is that when people say they've gotten in, it increases the sadness of the people who haven't.

For example, if I got invited, and someone asks me if I got invited, I wouldn't say no, I'd say I can't talk about it. But then it becomes obvious that I've been invited. The NDA doesn't say you have to lie. It just says you can't talk about it. Telling people you can't talk about it doesn't violate the NDA, does it?

The NDA says you can't let on you're in, most nda's do this so its not just Arenanet. That means no hints, no editing your post and still leaving a hint. Its obvious who is in and who isn't when this happens. It's just -easier- all round to say nothing whatsoever. And yeah, you're right, part of the reason for it is so others don't feel left out and become upset. But its also about respecting the wishes of the developers.

Yes, beta invitations have begun going out. They'll be sent out over the next few days. Please remember that discussing the beta in any way, shape, or form -- including your status in it -- is a breach of NDA. Don't risk your beta access! ~RB2

I feel like I shot my self in the foot by marking PVE on the beta application. I love PVP, but tend to gravitate toward PVE. That being said if WvWvW is as good as it looks, I will be spending a lot of time PVPing.

We have no idea if selecting PvE or PvP affects your application, but if it did then selecting PvE would be beneficial. WvW is basically PvP for PvE players, it's there to bridge PvP and PvE.
 
When will NDA be lifted? I would like to hear what the guys from here think about the game, instead of random jurnos.

I hope they announce when all invitations have been sent so that I don't keep refreshing my email constantly!

Probably the Monday after. Even without getting in I will be happy to see the footage that comes from this.

Well of course we don't, but I did read somewhere that they are mostly interested in heavily testing WvWvW, sorry don't have a link, which leads me to think selecting PVP or a balance between the two would have been better. It's obviously a gut reaction on my part, but would've made me feel better either way. :D

You think regular beta testers are allowed to record thier gameplay? I thought this NDAwas really strict and wouldn't even allow people to record any footage.

I wouldn't see why not. If it's the same beta as the press, and as long as they don't release before the NDA lifts. I think someone said something about not streaming which would be okay in the pre-purchase beta, but don't remember about recording. I could be wrong, but I don't see why it'd be a problem, or how it would be stopped after the beta was over anyways.
 
darn it. Now everytime I get an email notice, I'll be praying it's for this beta. I've had decent luck with getting into beta's the past little while, hope that continues.... either that or I've used up all my beta good luck :(

Am i the only one on GAF that got in? Email was sent around 2am.

I think you may be. Well, you may be the only one to just blurt it out....

To those that got in, congrats. Jealous as all hell, but hey....it's a step closer to helping the release of the game.

Here's hoping my email lands on the list of invites that are going out over the next few days. With over a million applied, I'm not holding my breath.
 
Please don't say on here if you got in or not. If you got in cool, if not you still have all weekend. Just don't break any NDAs guys.
 
Friend of mine says emails that have gone out were meant for UK-based testers, hence why they were sent out so late at night for Americans.

I'll keep my hopes up.
