Gain access by default to upcoming Beta ?

Being in a previous beta doesn’t mean you get auto access to any other betas.

This can go both ways, still no clear answer .

What? How can it go both ways?

It means that if you gain beta access to any event, it doesn’t exclude you (or include you) from any other beta event. You have just as much chance to get into the next beta as anyone else. (this way people from the stress test aren’t automatically precluded from an actual beta event)

I think the confusion is coming because people that were in the first stress test still have a beta character sitting on their log in screen and clicking on it gives you a message saying you cannot log in on that character because “no beta test is currently in progress.” Additionally, the website copy is very unclear on the issue and never once makes a definitive statement related to HOT betas.

While the likely scenario is that previous beta testers do not gain automatic entry into the next test and will need to find a portal even if they see a beta slot on their log in screen now, the wording is very ambiguous and could use clarification. It would avoid some headaches later on from those assuming they do have access but do not.

What’s confusing about “This invitation is for this Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns testing event only. This does not guarantee access to future events.” The definitive statement is that even if you get into this beta it doesn’t mean you’ll get into the next 1.

The answer is yes, you automatically get in. Do not by any means attempt to farm for a key. You can trust me.

Now if you feel you can’t trust me, then that means you know the answer is no but for some reason you people keep posting this ridiculous question in various places all over the forums. >.<

Then ANET should end this confusion once and for all.

The only confusion here is why so many illiterate people are on an internet forum. The answer is there, in the faq, in plain print. This is more of a, “I prefer to believe I’ll get automatic access to every future event despite the faq clearly stating I won’t” more than anything else.

Worst. Beta Testers. Ever.

Do you guys even know how to report a bug? Cause that was in the faq too but we all know you guys can’t comprehend that thing.

There shouldn’t be any confusion.

Getting into a beta event gives you access to only that beta event.

You only get access to any future betas if you are chosen again for that specific event.

You are neither included nor excluded from being invited any future beta events. But you are only able to join the specific beta event(s) you were invited to.

If you looked at your stress test email at the bottom it clearly stated that you only had access to the stress test. You do not get into any of the others by default. It’s also stated clearly in the HoT faq.
