News Premium Beta access update

It needs clearing up for both Alpha and Beta peoples sakes. Hopefully someone will come and clear it up for us.

Beta shouldn't be made to feel so 2nd class like that.

Alpha's can't take any more hate :)

Speak for yourself, I'm fine with it as a former standard Beta, I had the same choice to upgrade the rest had and still have and did it, no regrets.

It's not about being second class either, the original Alpha backers paid more in their KS pledges, they should get more privileges, again everyone had the option of pledging more, including me, at the time I couldn't which is why I eventually gave in when I got the option to.

As for the testing period for Alphas, it makes sense when you think about it, we are used to testing in the Alpha stages, we know the ticketing process and what to look for, imagine premium beta going live and the many more new beta backers come flying into the system expecting perfection, it would be mayhem, they're just trying to pre-empt this by making it as fixed as possible before full release, IMHO :D

Why on earth would someone like myself, just because I'm in the Beta bracket expect perfection from a Beta? Do you suddenly become more intelligent by throwing down an extra £100 or something? Please, get a grip.

As for me, I couldn't care less about Alphas getting extra perks or an early 2 week window or anything, but please park the attitude just because you have laid down extra money you exponentially gain in IQ.

Ok perfection was the wrong word in a testing situation, my bad, I clearly didn't get the IQ I paid for ;)

Seriously though, no attitude here just p&$&&d off with the responses to the beta phase going active, we're all after the same thing, an awesome playing experience that takes most of us back to our childhood.
The extra money for upgrade was/is expensive especially now the exchange rate is the way it is, I don't regret it though, I got to join in with all the other alpha backers and FD get more funds to make the final product even better, win win IMO :)
 
Argh! I try to upgrade but it doesn't apply my discount! I can't pay 120€ for a Beta upgrade :( (And yes, I have the standard beta and the expansion upgrade)
 
Anyone else getting a freezing on exit when you quit the game? Or is it just me?

I'm getting a message about the game having crashed every time I exit. No other problems so far.

[Edit]
The game no longer crashes when I exit. Might have been something server side last Friday.

Is that right at the checkout? Can you see the standard beta as an impossible download in the "My downloadable products" area?

The discount won't show until you get to the last stage. If it still does not - e-mail support@zaonce.net

Note - being a weekend a response may not happen until Monday.

I have the standard beta as an impossible download.
The thing is I had the discount, but screwed up typing the CC number, and when I tried to start again I didn't have the discount :(
 
Getting the emailed code (well not getting)

Downloaded the launcher, logged in, waiting for the code to be emailed to me, and waiting...
I'd expect this sort of thing to come through in minutes, not hours, is that the general experience?

Just got three all at once, appears there was a backlog. Must be popular :)
 
I'm at about 40 %, download speed went down to 0.50MB/S :(

How big is the download? My ISP has screwed my switch to Fibre, so I'm without internet until I don't know when .. if I download the installer on my phone and install it on PC that does not have access, can I play this single player build? Or does it need internet connection/account login?

Life with out internet is boring..LOL
 
Cool stuff :cool:

I take it easy. Maybe I'll download the game before May. I'm happy just watching what the Alpha dudes can do on twitch and youtube.
