Im really looking froward to this game and i signed up for the beta. Im just curious how often do they send out beta invites?

[Manthony Higgs]

Not often, and us founders are more likely to get them than you.

[Thorn Hallis]

From time to time. Currently only founders will get access to closed beta at random.

Well, starting August 7th, all founders will be in. But I'd imagine they would still send out invites, so the non-founders would get their chance starting then.

Im hoping that getting legendary will give me a bit of an edge. Im really looking forward to this game.

You can sign up but you won't get a slot. Since the Founder deal they started giving beta slots only to those that have bought a Founder, which is good. We get priority on random invites and we get a slot come August regardless. A freebie user now gets neither. I'd suggest you put in some money if you're really looking forward to this game as you say. 30$ is hardly going to set you back much and still has good value attached to it. That's 40$ worth of C-Bills+Premium(Which will be 10$/month)+your name in the beta polls and August phase. As said on the page, those C-Bills and the month of Premium will total up to 50$ come release. If you get it now you're saving 20$ on a discount, which you can then use to buy Steam games or something.

I ran out out of breath some time ago, I'm just trying not to have heart attack while waiting to Aug 7th. I've even upgraded my system just in case lol. All i know is i want to play and i'm ready now

[Kumakichi]

Its such a tiny percentage I wouldn't worry about not getting in beta. Aug 7th seems like a minor stress test opportunity and reward to founders. I'm lookin forward to seeing more info.

[MechaDraco]

from what little I do know, they do not foresee releasing any Key's to anyone without a founder pack until possibly after Aug 7th, that's just a guess though, so I have no idea, I have heard though that they are releasing 1000 keys in about 2 minutes, and those will be given to a random number of founders, no one particular package will be picked over the other, however since legendary has more than both the other two have combined, I'd imagine legendary will get more simply due to simple mathematical probability.

[Rashhaverak]

Hopefully more often!

Each week a thousand go out is a week closer to being picked.

[Ulrik von Korvyn]

Well looks like I didnt make that thousand

[light487]

Yup.. have to say that this is unlike many of the recent beta releases in that they let everyone and their dog in. I'm not talking about founders or exclusivity.. I'm just talking about other games that are calling it a beta when really it is more like a preview to the full release.. it's more like open beta.. but they never had a closed beta open to the public.

The first 10,000 or so people got in to this beta.. and then they essentially stopped adding people. Then came along the founders program and since then the only people getting in are founders. So a few months ago, had you come along, you might have had a chance to get in the beta.. but not any more.

I didn't get one, well...time go to the shower and cry.

I feel your pain... however many of my friends snagged Warhammer: Space Marine for $7.49. Although it's definately NOT Mechwarrior.... something is really fun about jet packing around and slamming a chainsword around

[Glythe]

Warhammer is a good buy, I was playing it to wait for the release of D3.... which totally blew. And yes I killed diablo before the weenie patch. The loot nerf after the 1.03 patch made it not worth playing.

Some of the game modes for warhammer are kinda dumb and there aren't many maps. But for $10 or less you really can't go wrong with that game.

I don't think they are waiting a week any more. They sent out invites Friday and again today. Likely we will see at least another 1000 tomorrow...hopefully two rounds of 1000 would be even better!

You're not at a disadvantage if you don't get in before August. They are wiping everything owned in the game as soon as August comes so one way or the other you will be at a blank slate.

[Yuba Frank]

Except for the actual RL experience of having been playing BETA for however long they've been in...everything else will be wiped.
