Closed Beta Dates

[DeadSockPuppet]

Official dates for the closed beta are 2/3-2/6 and the beta will be available for all platforms during that same window. 

Now on to the important stuff, has anyone gotten a code?  As of yet I haven't, so I'm hoping they haven't sent them out yet, as opposed to me not getting into the beta. 

Post up here if you get a code so those of us that don't have them can judge you for being lucky ?

Not yet, however they're being issued seemingly to traders, promoters etc .. (high profile YouTubers, shops for promotion etc). 

I'm currently sat pending refreshing a certain Facebook page of a certain retailer in the UK who are posting 20 codes every hour until 8pm! (which is 240 codes!!)

I don't like this, I actually HATE that companies do this. The loyal fans who put names down months in advance don't get any news...yet "buddy-buddies" get codes days in advance. 

I know its normal, still think its a nepotistic practice that immediately generates bad feeling between Gamer and Developer.

My account says:

"We will contact you via email if you are selected for our future beta phases."

...if the grammar is correct it means no beta key for me until the next release of keys for "future beta phases". *Very sad*

I want to test before I buy! I want to pre-order next month ...BUT... the most recent game play I've seen has look HORRID! 

I kid you not! The graphics looks apauling, animations were rough as hell. UI was intrusive and nasty, audio and visual particle effects were sub playstation 3! 

It just seems the game have hit a significant DOWNGRADE since we last saw it. On the value of the gameplay I've seen in the last couple of days I won't even bother to buy the game on release, let alone pre-order. So, I really need hands on.

Already placed a gold preorder with Amazon, but I can cancel it any time up to the day before release without being charged.
