TitanFall Beta not open: Invite waves & codes required, staggered to avoid implosion
- Thread starter RulkezX
- Start date
3 hours to call in your titan, it will be about a week until it falls.
Just looked through the rest of the posts, and you seem to be the first. So congrats, I'll PM you about getting you your copy of Titanfall.

More like three hours until we get to crash the signup page, a handful of extremely lucky people get through, and the beta doesn't actually happen for at least a week.
Well they had a window of a few hours not too long ago that seemed to be convenient for all the countries the beta will be available for.
But I'm guessing that would've caused an insane amount of traffic to all their servers which hopefully have been prepping for this launch. So I'm thinking the waves of access will be available to all regions at the same time, but will subsidize the traffic by timing those waves for different timezones.
I'm just guessing of course, I'm not sure if that would be the best solution. While Respawn may not be doing that at all, and just making it convenient for people in the US which would be a dick move on their part.

No it isn't
Awesome, thanks
LUCKY BASTARD!
I hope you have a shitload of fun dude, and it being free means your expectations won't be that crazy for a product you paid for!
Three hours til I call in my Titan so that I can wait a week for it to potentially fall as long as I can connect to the website, enter my email address properly, and click a few buttons... if the future me can remember that the past me would really appreciate an invite into the Titanfall beta.

I'm sure glad they gave us a concrete time. Coincidentally, this was the same time they sent out the emails for the Alphas. Not sure if it was the same time on purpose, but shoot. So excited.
But since they announced the time, you can expect everyone to flood it. Be ready GAF.

Do you honestly think it matters what time you sign up? Europeans don't need to stay up until 2, 3, 4 in the morning waiting for the site to go live. It's not like they're going to shut the whole thing down as soon as enough people sign-up. This isn't how these things work. And I guarantee your chances of getting in are no higher if you sign up the second the site goes live vs hours or days later.
Haha. Yeah, I was on the fence about it and the beta was going to be the deciding factor, but obviously it doesn't matter now. I hope it turns out to be great fun.
Thanks.Ha Ha superb
Congrats

Damn, knew it wouldn't be Euro friendly. Ah well, I'll be ready for 2AM.
Why bother , the beta isn't going to start for a few days and the Americans are just going to break the server , just go to bed and sign up in the morning while the US is asleep.

I'm not even sure if I should try for this. The website is probably instantly gonna collapse.

fuck sake, that's 2am I've got work in the morning dammit! >_<
Same here, i remember getting into the cod4 beta...overgrown 40 times in a row
I want this game to give me the same feeling of a fresh experience, and return the intense sweaty palmed competitive rush that I haven't gotten since being the last man on my team in a hardcore search and destroy map.

Hide and seek ?
If it's any consolation:
We'll I guess I was wrong , sounds like if we don't stay up we might miss out.
Such Brave Soul! I know I should have made more coffee for the night but I'll stay up with you all amazing people.
I honestly don't know how they will handle the key distribution. Do you? Maybe they do random draws, maybe they give them out until all keys are gone.
It's ridiculous.

So what do I do to try and get in?

Believe me, I'd love to take that advice but not going to chance it. No work tomorrow so it's not so bad.
That's supposed to be revealed before 6 pst....
I think it's just gonna be as simple as a signup page appearing on the website, zampella's twitter, and the origin store homepage.

No NDA so I expect to see tons of that.
No nda, so there will be tons of media on the beta when it launches.
Hey EU, I'm up late with you in Paris, we have global servers to fill so you'll be a big part of code distributio

So this applies to Xbox One and PC, or just Xbox One?

How does that help? Pick a time that fits more countries than just the USA. Don't apologies afterwards for something that should be common sense.If it's any consolation:
I can already see them giving away the Beta invites in a first-come-first-serve way. Good luck fellow non-Americans who are staying up.
Pretty sure you have to have an active XBL gold sub to play online, this includes online mp betas.
