Guild Wars 2

with a Beta banner labeled diagonally across it. It is intriguing but I don’t know what I am supposed to do with it. How can I put a new char in that slot or is that something I am just going to have to wait for ?

thanks

Congratulations! You have been chosen as a participant in the Stress Test for Heart of Thorns tomorrow which will be active from Noon PDT – 2pm PDT and from 5pm PDT – 7PDT.

Log in using that character slot during those time periods, and have fun! =)

WOW ! Thanks Inculpatus ! I feel so …… chosen ! :-)

Yay! =)

How nice, a person who isn’t even aware of the beta gets chosen, while so many people who regularly play and invest money into the game don’t. Good job, ArenaNet.

Congrats buddy, don’t listen to the haters(*cough*Argon*cough*)!

These are stress tests, be patient. You may be chosen for a larger Beta. I bummed I didn’t get an invite too, but no reason to be mad at those who were chosen. I’m hoping for a weekend beta invite soon, those were very fun.

Oooh, here is what it looks like. (It even let me start making a character in it, but Revenant is still not available).

I cant make a character in beta slot. Its not activated on mine. what should I do?

I didn’t actually try to go all the way to creation, I stopped when I couldn’t make Revenant. But hitting “Create” on the slot did let me start the process.

hitting “create” doesn’t let me start it… its deactivated.

They’re likely running some script to add that to all the accounts that need it for tomorrow. Don’t worry about it, I’m sure you’ll get it in time.

Create is disabled on my account too although I do have the beta icon.

Doing so wasn’t a guarantee of getting a beta slot. It’s random – hence you get many situations. It’s 4 hours, that’ll probably be buggy. CALM DOWN.

It;s greyed out for me too when I select it – can’t progress till the time I guess.

I’ve been able to go through the entire character creation process, with the exception to choosing the new class. I get to the name screen, put the name in, but i’m scared to death to hit create because I don’t know what will happen outside of the test windows.

I guess you have to wait until they open it first. I hope they give us a little time to make the toon before they start us on our way to test it out.

See you there tomorrow!
