Guild Wars 2

Why can’t we have a public beta (optional) of this for the vacation? Instead of being without a season and without new competitive content.

I mean giant pillars labelled “Do not touch” left there for a month aren’t my idea of new competitive content for the holliday…

Bless, you think Seasons were competitive. Kinda loses its glamour when you realize that the winner was determined by whoever got bandwagoned hardest.

More on-topic, there’s always the possibility for open betas later on.

Our guild decided to not bother with the testing after we saw the spreadsheet. Giving account names of people is all that should matter, why do we need to provide email addresses when an email address is linked to each account?

Many of us use game specific email addresses for login that we do not use for any other purpose and sharing that with guildies is an un-necessary security risk.

Do what a lot of people did, create a separate acct just for EotM testing.

That was discussed, but why should you have to. Account has a linked email that they have access too. Why should everyone have to create a special email, why should we have to then fill it all into the spreadsheet.

Bottom line, it is too much effort to provide feedback that ANET will not listen too. Look at the dec 10 class design preview. 35 pages of comments and you have to look pretty hard to find the 4 tiny changes they made, all of which probably had nothing to do with the 35 pages of discussion.

Today I got super excited while checking mails because there was one from the Edge of the Mists adress.

But then : “We’ve received your guild’s roster and have added it to our database.”

I´m a bit sad (^^) after waiting 8 days but i´m sure it´s going to be good soon.

I am just excited that you guys are doing actual public testing before releasing a big update like this. I hope the community gives you guys a lot of solid and constructive feedback to help make it an awesome release.

Should we be concerned about the fact that we didn’t receive any roster confirmation after 10 days ? Or are you still sending email ?

They are still sending emails.

i have no clue if this has been answered yet.. but, im downloading the mist client right now. Can i only bring in my named toon, or can i bring in any of my toons?

You get an entirely new account on the test platform. You make a whole new character.

Are there going to be more testings in the coming days? Because my guild and I just received our new login infos with the dates of testing which are all already over.

There’s a testing schedule for all of December. No worries.

Is it possibly to invite more people to the test? We have sent in our roster 2 weeks ago as a guild, but some people are interested to join. The people we originally listed already have an account and client already so wouldn’t want them to loose access by sending in a 2nd list.

Do we send the same excel spreadsheet with the names of the people already in + new ones? Do we send in a new spreadsheet containing only new people? Is it possible in general?

Because they’re creating new accounts for people, which comes with the Mists test client. As part of the processes they have in place, it’s a requirement to link an email to a game client, just like it’s a requirement to link your Live email to your Live client.

It’s good both you and your guild are aware of the security risks of passing out your Live email, so just make a new one from gmail or something, just for Mists testing. It really is quite an opportunity you and your guild are missing.

The policies can be questioned sure, but there’s no time to change policies for a process that’s already active. They can look into that for any future public tests.

I sent my guild roster last tuesday, but the latest time for sending it was at monday, and i got no answer yet, so will my guild receive invite to the test somewhen or it won’t work because of sending it too late ?

After almost a month of waiting:
Is there any chance to get a confirmation if our roster (sent on dec 9, 2013 – 10.44 AM CET) has been recieved?

send them a support email

Just wondering: How many days before Elder Scrolls Online does EotM go live? It’s the first new WvW content besides the ruins fiasco.

I am mostly curious if i can acces this map without having an overflow..
I hope it will be like sanctum, only less empty.

The map can be accessed from the B window (WvW window) just like Sanctum.

The GUI for the window is also being updated, and will be more streamlined.

Also to note: Every regional server will be grouped together to fill the EotM maps (not just your server), that is their plan anyways.

Looks like the end of the EotM testing beta is upon us. Next Thursday, Jan 9th, is our last chance to do any map testing before the release of the map (no schedule on release has yet been announced, just fyi.) Was fun playing and trying to break maps with you all – see you in game!
