Imagine being a dog and having to do this for two weeks.

Oh, and meanwhile other dogs are eating their treats around you and you can only watch.

the fact that they said the beta was unaffected by the delay and that would mean it was which would mean they lied.

I know this comment came from a double account but if the beta release is indeed that late, the statement still stands.
Either that or you could call it misinformation/damage control. :(

Or maybe something unplanned has cropped up.

Maybe Alan was accidentally let out, so now they have to employ a team of well trained hunters to catch him.

Obviously somethings up, I say the Beta should be up tomorrow, if not, then something has definately gone wrong.

EDIT: Just read Ramms post, its not tomorrow.

Im confused...and a little bit annoyed, I am considering changing my preorder to Non-DE, Thursday seems a little late. Most betas last months, this beta? 5 days.

actually not. I cant fall asleep and I got bored so I made an account. I'm laying in bed, posting from my phone, od'ing on nyquil and waiting to fall asleep. that's what I get for trying to go to bed 6 hours early.

Something so catastrophic no one could spare a few seconds to tell us?

Wilson said:
It won't be a "3-day early access demo". We actually do need/want the volume of RANDOM people playing the game. Right now, as John said, we're picking off some stupid problems that would actually stop people playing - having tens of thousands of people telling us they are stuck and can't play wouldn't be helpful. 100s of servers telling us that Pavlov is a biased towards Germans on Countdown IS useful.

This was posted a moment ago. So obviously something unexpected has popped up. I would guess they meant to release beta today, but has postponed it a bit while they work on it. Hopefully tomorrow.

Actually did they tell us about it, there were a couple of gamebreaking bugs such as getting stuck at the spawn. They didn't want to disappoint people by shipping a beta that they could not fully enjoy.

They could put a watermark acros the middle of the screen saying "stop complaining it's a beta" for all i care. I just wanna play.

That is a really bad reason though.

Beta = Testing the game, reporting bugs, game still in development.

Demo = Final version of the game.

We were promised beta, not demo. Right now we're getting less and less days of beta everyday.

5 days before release IS NOT A BETA. They said they didn't push the beta back, what gives?

Evidently the beta release date HAS been pushed back. So yes, they lied.
But we can live with it can't we :p

Yes, we can. But they could AT LEAST have told us straight up "Look guys, we had to push the beta back" right now they saying its not out yet because they want to fix smaller bugs first. But since we were supposed to be in beta, that should be a part of it, bugs or not - would people whine? Yes, probably. But then at least tell us that it's a demo and not a beta.

There's been no words on wether or not the beta has been pushed back, only excuses as to why it's still in beta.

which is not acceptable, imo. Either we are in beta or we arent.
