For all those asking about when the beta access for pre-orders is going to start. It will happen before the release. That is all the info we're ready to give right now. Suffice it to say you'll get your hands on the game a lot sooner than everyone else :)

At some point, the whole "we have to be patient," or the "Hey they're a small developer and for some reason that makes them slower to make announcements," excuses have to stop. I mean, I paid for this product it would stand to reason that I expect to at the very least receive some real info and not a "be patient." Seriously, I've tried to be understanding and all but they shouldn't have promised us a beta and let us pay for it if they weren't prepared to give us any solid information. End rant.

Standing behind you
Because no matter how times you ask "when will the beta be out" it does not change when it's going to happen.

They dont answer because they cant give you a specific release date, when doing game devlopment, especially when it comes to unfinished releases.. you'll find there's always more you can do. It gets released when it's done.

You paid for the product(game) and you get it as stated 31/08/2011 there is no date for beta when you preorder and you should be aware of that.You bought this game knowing that there is no set date for beta start.If you are not happy about that you should hold off till they announce the date.I'll buy DE when i know it's not LV in Australia for 1 reason ...It's bloody cheap:IS2:

That's true. Regardless, it shouldn't surprise anyone on the forums that people come here everyday and ask when it's coming out. I would think that Tripwire would at least have some idea as to when the beta will be released before they advertise it and lock all of the threads asking about it. This could all be remedied or avoided altogether and would save Tripwire a ton of headaches.

I'm not trying to say I demand the beta and now, don't get me wrong. I understand the have to prepare and yadda yadda, but they could at least reaffirm us. The locking of threads posted by paying customers asking when they get the extras they paid for is a little worrying. Just seems like a bad PR move, you know? I'd at least like a "Here within the next 2 weeks you should be able to play the beta." It doesn't even have to be precise, just something. Seems fair enough to me.:IS2:

I don't mind waiting, but it would be nice if they could post a rough estimate. A simple statement like "No earlier than the 17th, but no later than the 24th" would at least calm people down. The uncertainty is unnerving.

I actually bought the regular version at first, but then decided I wanted to have a go at the beta. I contacted Steam and had the pre-order cancelled and the money put into my Steam Wallet. However, considering the clock is ticking and there's still no beta, I may just end up buying the regular version again. I can't get real excited about paying more for, essentially, access to the beta (screw hats) if that early access amounts to a few days early.

agreed
I'm really looking forward to talking this game up to guys in my clan even buying a few copies for them to try. I may still when the game comes out. But how it stands I don't even bring it up to them, because I'm a little aggravated and don't have alot of good things to say ATM. I mean what am I going to tell them. Uh RO2 is cool they will have a pre- release beta UH UH one day. Brown nosers bring it on !!!

They're just tired of saying "when it's ready" or "we don't know yet".

It's a pretty standard response.

We understand your concern. But as a mod here, we are going to keep closing threads that keep cropping up about the beta. When something is announced, everyone will know. Until then, threads constantly asking about the beta will be closed, often without a reason given.

That's how it is. This isn't TWI doing this, this is to keep the spam and repeat topics to a bare minimum for everybody's sake.
