has this been talked about?

[jonrossi]

''Over 100,000 people are preparing to descend into the Age of Reckoning, we have invited the vanguard host to join us this weekend (August 22-25) to an exclusive Preview Weekend event!

Attendance is by invitation only and is guaranteed to all Closed Beta participants, Collectors Edition Pre-Order customers.''

what date will the weekend be for people who have the EU CE please?

 

[Methos]

No preview weekend for EU (afaik).

 

[JohnnyBoy555]

We probably won't be getting it here. It's only US customers so far. GOA have not said anything about a Euro PW.

To be fair, they never said that we would have the same or better treatment as the US.........Oh wait a minute...THEY DID!!

 

[jonrossi]

oh ok, thanks guys........thats a shame =0(

 

[Derian]

yeh wish GOA would look at the 6 P's:
Planning and Preperation Prevent Piss Poor Performance.

1 of the reasons i Pre-ordered the CE was for the PW but thats another thing that is making me want to cancel the order. Will prolly get the CE and sell the contents like the figures and book n stuff i am sure some GW fan would want em.

 

[baxyboy]

Yeah - hugely disappointing that not only have we EU CE Pre-Order people missed out on the chance to take part in the closed beta (as they are in the US), but now also looks like we're also missing out on this too.

Not a good start GOA...

 

[Padraig]

They invite the Vanguard people into the preview weekend to make numbers up!

They could have invited the EU CE people to log in instead!

 

[Apollyn]

Very disappointing but you never know, GoA might pull it outta the bag at the last minute?

I'm assuming noone has put their CE keys in yet in EU version? I cant even get to the beta centre, always redirects me to signup for the website, even if im logged in, this the same for everyone else or can we DL clients and stuff ready incase there is access forus this w/e?

call me a cynic if you like, but from your previous threads, I suspect you already knew the answers and was just starting another thread for a dig at GOA

Think you mean the Early Access? Preview Weekend is something different and was never promised in the CE as far as i can see.

 

[Aqe]

When it comes to Closed beta and Preview Weekend GOA made other decisions.
Closed beta keys has been handed out in a much bigger scale to guilds and random invites than US. US just noticed they needed more testers for their final phase so they picked CE pre-order people.
CE was never promised or even hinted at to be invited to CB.

When the game is live, Eu and Us will get same stuff and same support.

Not going to happen, because like you point out, there IS no place to enter beta codes or download anything. Even worse, there's no indication on when we're getting any of those, other than a very vague "in time".

The point about preparation was good. If the data center had been in place well in advance, none of this would've happened and we would all be happy.

EDIT:

When the game is live, Eu and Us will get same stuff and same support.

You know, I wouldn't bet on that, not anymore.

GOA's number one priority is to support the development of WAR and prepare for a successful launch. Whereas we do want to cater to the interest and curiosity of would-be beta testers, this must remain secondary to the greater cause of delivering that which we have promised to deliver:

• Open Beta access to all CE Pre-Order customers (to be announced)
• Live Head Start access for all CE Pre-Order customers (details yet to be announced)
• Live Head Start access for all SE Pre-Order customers (details yet to be announced)
• Live access for all European customers on September 18th
• 24/7 support in five languages once the game is live

This is what we have promised and we will live up to this. Anything on top of that is icing on the cake. We promise to give you cake. If we can, we'll also give you icing. I'll be back when I know more.

I would also prefer a convenient service of the things mentioned above, instead of a "preview" weekend

heck, we have the rest of our life to play WAR then if we want to

ok, your a cynic
