Hi there,

Didn't get any download link, is that normal ? Is there a special way to proceed ?

Thanks and keep up the good work :)

Or maybe he didn't click the magic button 8C

It looks like you need to sign up for the mailing list to get your beta info.

Still nothing now. Waiting...but I'm not patient :D

Demigod players may get priority, but that still may not necessarily mean you all get access yet, or that actual invites are out yet... Patience my friends!

Yay, thanks a lot Frogboy! The recommended friends feature sounds very useful. I guess people need to make an Impulse account to use Ready to Play? Sais so in the system requirements... O:)

I'm ready to get that email and then ready to play :)  Thanks for the heads up.  Been looking forward to trying this out.  Is there somewhere we should provide feedback once we are able to try it?

Dito - it seems to take awhile for the emails to go out on their system... no idea how or why it works that way.  Looking forward to trying it soon too.

Ok - I've got it now.  Never received an email though.  Showed up in impulse as a download.  I hope more people get it soon as I currently have 0 recommended friends for sins or demigod.  Very much looking forward to trying this when there's a bigger population on to see how it matches people up.

Also - I HAD 2 recommended friends earlier today and they vanished... not sure if something changed with the coding/they changed their preferences, etc.

Damn, and nothing for me.

Even though I'm player #339 according to the stats website. How weird is that. I'm so angry now I'm gonna eat a kitten :pout:

I recommend to not eat kittens, else the uber kitten will appear:

Signed up for ready to play, too :)

Got my email today. All you guys waiting on emails go into your preferences and make sure you have display pre-release software checked.

Got mine today, but keeps giving me an error when I try to login. Have to try to play with it when I get a little more time and make sure it's not just me doing something wrong.

Edit:not sure what the problem was, but got it going now. Cool! :thumbsup:

Just ran a test with stacked actor... we were able to join chat and launch the game... but no game is created... I'm guessing that's intentional.  So, it helps you get a game going (people), but doesn't create a lobby.  Fair enough... just wasn't sure of the full scope.

got it :)

looks nice and works well. i love the gaming profile, your play style  and recommended friends features.

me n pacov tried it.

i didnt realise it wasnt supposed to create a game for you when you pressed launch :blush:

edit: haha cool, i can find friends from other games aswell, awesome :)

Yep, doesn't actually create a lobby.  While we could do that for our games, the idea is for it to work with all games and as a practical matter, we've found that people tend to like to set up private games in the chat.

Right now, the beta group only has like 500 people or something like that total but we plan to expand it more next week.
