I would love to play it! Unfortunately I did not get invited this time. Will there be another before release?

If a WvW focused player gets an invite can you please post feed back somewhere on the forum?

I mostly play for the new Free-For-All arena in PvP lobby.

If you were in a previous beta, chances are pretty good that you still have access despite not getting an email.

Either that or my friends and I got ignored by the email fairy.

Gaile,

Some people in the Desert BL map have stated that they have access but have not gotten the email. I asked the people that stated this if they checked their spam folder but they also checked their spam folders.

If there is to be another Desert BL test, other than the shield generator feature, the sending out of emails should be looked into.

Yeah, out of over 2 dozen people in my Guild that we know for sure (now, thanks to this PSA by Anet) only 3 of us got email notifications and we are ALL signed up for them.

So that’s the bulk of one Guild at least, in its entirety, that has missed 2/3rds of this stress test. How many others?

I’m pretty sure they KNOW now that something isn’t working right, otherwise they wouldn’t be reminding people about the beta. I was playing in it for HOURS and barely saw anyone else, either team mate or enemy.

I’m in a WvW focused with 400 members. Between the guild list, my friends list, and my blocked list, I see a total of zero people in the new map.

Either this is a cluster of a stress test or people got bored really quickly.

I don’t think people got bored – they just didn’t know about it – that was certainly true in my (WvW oriented) guild. I didn’t get an email but did get the client download option, so only a few of us ended up being able to play…

I guess it would be cool if in a 2 day stress test, just downloading the client didn’t take practically on entire day… ok well it looks like it will only take around 3 hours, I got home started the download and my window of opportunity to play will be basically done before it’s even downloaded… good job on the invites and download servers.

Yea I think people who were in the last stress test don’t realize they are able to play in this one too. I want to see how this map plays with a big zerg rolling around.

Unfortunately, it only downloads an .exe file. While this can be good, it is not going to work on my mac version.

Missed it too. How long does it take to download? I have 2,5 hours time left after work this evening.

To get to “playable” is about 8 gb. I’ve downloaded only that stuff then played, you’ll need to download only the maps after that. So it depends how long it takes to download 8gb
