Has been issued.


Can't decide if this makes me feel one step closer to an invite, or further away, either way I'm glad testing is progressing. The smoother testing progresses, the better the game will be when we all get access.

Thanks for the update Bryan. To everyone still waiting for a beta key, there is now a 1.5% chance that you will be selected for beta.

This is provided that only 100,000 members have singed up and 1500 of those have received keys.

Learn to math :) if we are given 100,000 and 1,500 are already chosen then we are 1/98500. The total chance of being picked is that multiplied by the batch size for the invites. This means there is a 0.50% chance (500 People) or a 1.01% chance (1000 people), etc.

Color me Yellow... :)


"Yo listen up here's a story,
About a little guy that lives in a Yellow world,
And all day and all night and everything he sees,
Is just Yellow like him inside and outside,
Yellow is his house with a Yellow little window,
And a Yellow corvette,
And everything is Yellow for him and himself,
And everybody around,
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen to,

I'm Yellow da ba dee da ba die da ba dee da ba die, da ba dee da ba die da ba dee da ba die, da ba dee da ba die da ba dee da ba die, da ba dee da ba die da ba dee da ba die,
I'm Yellow da ba dee da ba die, da ba dee da ba die...."

Oops, I was being a bit to optimistic, so let's see... 100,000-1500=98500
and 1/98500 is equal to 0.001% ok, it looks like no one has much hope in getting into beta.

You have to multiply 0.001% by how many invites are sent out. And do not forget, although 100,000 people may be REGISTERED on the forums, many do not have their Beta Profiles set up.

This is like waiting for the girl you really like to call or text back after the first date, only 100 times worse. Haha I'm just stoked the game i played for about 5hrs a day after school is being brought back so I can wait. Really hoping the Bushwacker makes it in soon even though I've read that they are plagued by defects at this time in the MW timeline. By far my most favorite mech

Thanks for keeping us informed. :)

Am I the only person seriously hoping to get in so I can try to find bugs more than just seeing the game?

I thought the next batch of keys would get distributed sometime next week but I was wrong! Congratulations to anyone who got in and have a good time hunting those bugs. I'll enjoy the pending picture a bit longer :).
