Oh that's cool. I bought a Timberwolf but it says my account isnt authorized. Awesome

i just tried to log in as well, not sure if you have to "sign up" for the PTS or if this is just the message we are getting because it hasnt started yet

Says I dont have authorization? What this mean or does it have to be 11 in order to log in?

That's fine. And it might be okay. but honestly, coming on the forums and advertizing that you bought a package with the intention of returning it... You're just asking for mysterious delays and a general hard time. And you deserve it.

Or, PGI could possibly generate sales by allowing people to test drive 'mechs. I promise to return their digital goods in perfect condition.

servers not up-how can you log in...

[Racklesnack]

If it's anything like the previous test you have to wait until the stated start time to log in.

[anonymous161]

I do think it would have been a huge ONE UP for pgi to have allowed everyone to at least try a single clan mech would have probably earned some sales. Oh well.

Its a test drive for the clans. Watch for a sale this weekend on clan packs.

Then delivery will probably get pushed a month so they can "work out unforseen issues".

[anonymous161]

They cant afford a delay on this content it would be a pretty bad fallout, they would lose a ton of money.

Besides it's just mechs it's not a map, or a new game type.

It's past 11am and still not authorized or do I have my times wrong?

I can't log too... "Not authorized".

It's 18h08 in France now, maybe there is a delay on this time zone?

[anonymous161]

I live in Iowa so I'm assuming 11am is where I'm at always been stupid with time zones.

Learn 2 timezone. The test server isn't scheduled to be up for another 2 hours.

Yeah if think it's the same in France, i don't have made the conversion for the time zone (too lazy =))...

It's summer time in France too, and yeah it's a stupid invention...

Might use my stock AWS-8Q for a couple of games just to hear clanners cry.

Nah, probably just outrun everything they have with my X-5.

Indeed, 40 min, not 1:40.

It doesn't change the fact that this is a HUGE missed opportunity to sell more clan mechs which would help the game.
Giving everyone opportunity to play clan mechs would lure WAY more people to the test server to find bugs. Furthermore, it's easier to find bugs with clan tech while using clan tech than by watching someone else stomping around in his clan mech.
We will learn how IS mechs will play out against clan mechs in 5 days, we don't need a test server for it. The guys who already have a clan pack will get their mechs in 5 days aswell and they already payed for it. PGI gains little from showing them the clan mechs early, because most of them probably won't buy a second clan pack just because they like their first one so much after testing it. On the other hand, guys who didn't get a clan pack yet could be convinced to buy one by playing the clan mechs.

From every perspective, may it be finding bugs or making money, it would have been better to let everyone pilot the clan mechs.

As stated before, they also wanted to get an idea of how Clan vs. IS balance worked out. If they let everyone drive clan mechs, no one would drive IS mechs. You will get a good idea of how the Clan mechs handle by playing against them and spectating.

I'm sure everyone can figure out how Dragon Slayers/Victors handle nowadays without every purchasing them.

Where was that list of configs?
