Quick answer to you, shell out the 20$ and get the Mercenary pack from the PSN store.

Why should I spend $20 on a game that's meant to be F2P and that I haven't even played yet?

yes the GAME is free to play but the game hasent been released yet

you paid for early access in the form of 20 bucks and a beta invite and they even threw in some AR and some perm gear

plenty of games charge for a closed beta code...just look at Path Of Exile i paid 10 bucks to get in and i havent regretted it

for those of you that havent heard of Path of exile...its a F2p MMO in the style of Diablo 2...its what me and tons of other diablo fans wanted diablo 3 to be...but wasent

some companies need the money to support the game and seeing how Grinding gear games is a low level NZ game company they deserve it

so bottom line dont complain that you paid for the beta and its less than satisfactory, becasue in closed beta you are an unpaid game tester thats paid in the satisfaction of being able to play the game befor anybody else

your job is to test and submit feedback and bugs and if you have played any other closed betas then you should already know that stuff already is and probly will break of the course of open and closed beta so you really shouldnt be complaining in the first place

get used to it and just wait like everybody else

Yeah, good thing I didn't buy it yet because first off, if you're an indicator of the community behind this game, then I desire no part of it.

Secondly, you're telling me that I should pay $20 so I can play a broken experience before a full one comes out that will still be broken for a little bit as they continue to work it out.
Terribly flawed logic.

So you paid for a beta on a game that is completely what you wanted and what you expected.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS GAME PLAYS. I don't know how it feels, how it works, balancing...This is why a beta for this game is so important! I'm not willing to drop cash on something I haven't played, simple as that.

For a Diablo rip-off, you already know what's up. Click dudes, get loot, repeat.
This is a FPS that seems to be in the vain of MAG but on a greater scale. MAG was great in concept and theory and mediocre in execution.

I just simply can't drop cash for it right now.

You basically get your money back; it's like buying yourself a Dust gift card and getting beta access for free.

Ultimately it is your call, although I believe that once you get a limited beta key, you can play every other weekend. I don't think you have to enter to win another one.
Milk Supreme ZionTCD Legacy Rising 127	Posted - 2012.07.05 21:31:00 - [10] - Quote Now now, don't push the OP to buy a pack when he hasn't even tried the game. I suggest you email PSN or CCP, depending on who you got the code off and tell them the code doesn't work and they should issue you a new one. I think the forums is more for reporting bugs and development issues

Chances are you received this past weekend's beta code but input it after the weekend was up from what it sounds like. Unfortunately, there seems to be some issue on Sony's end with these beta codes remaining active even after usage, making this an additional issue with them not expiring after their time-sensitive validity is up. In other words, what happened was that you received a code that was exclusively for this past weekend, didn't get around to inputting it until after the weekend was over, it let you download the client, create a character and everything, but then wouldn't let you access the game. Bunch of people having variances on this issue, like yourself not realizing their access would expire after last weekend ended. Word is that they're supposed to have beta weekend events every other weekend, which last weekend's was the start of, and that people like you and I have an opportunity to participate in. People that received their codes prior to this last weekend or bought the Merc Pack, on the other hand, have full beta access every weekend until release comes around.

Easy, either your access has expired (you received a beta weekend event code granting you access only for that weekend event) or you've tried inputting a code from Twitter/Facebook/Google+ that had already been used, but is currently bugged permitting its usage to download the client but not provide access. If you want access, you're unfortunately stuck right now, as unless you get your hands on another code from one of those aforementioned sources (look for @Dust514 or Dust 514 pages), received one prior to this last weekend, or purchase the Merc Pack, you won't gain access this weekend. However, I have been hearing that they intend to hold beta weekend events like this past one every other weekend, meaning that after this coming weekend, we may receive another access code. I cannot confirm this at the moment, but there's a slim bit of hope for you.

These ones are all gone as far as I know (unless they want to hand out more later) 2. Mercenary Pack Codes. These are good for the Beta Weekends only. (I think) 3. One-time codes. Only work for a single weekend. These are currently what the PSN Home station is handing out.

In EasyDaisy's case I'm not sure what to say other than try to email support at the address they tell us about. Regarding yours Groth, I'm not clear on the status of the Playstation Home code, whether it's time-sensitive access provided or not, as I've seen some say it is and others that it isn't.

For some reason the codes are remaining valid after use, at least for downloading the game client, but not for providing your account access to the game. I mentioned it to the Playstation support dudes and they said they'd be looking into it, so here's to hoping that's worked out whenever CCP next releases codes through there.

RydogV 57	Posted - 2012.07.06 06:04:00 - [25] - Quote I received a PlayStation Home Beta code last week and apparently it too was only good for this past weekend Beta session. I contacted Dust support because several friends who got their keys off PS Home still had access. Support told me that my key was only a temporary one. Of course I cannot get another one from Home because when I enter the kiosk it just prompts my previous one automatically. I recognize the Merc Pack as a decent value in AUR and other items but I still am not sure if I want to pay the $$ to get full Beta access. It is a tough choice since I loved the game and really need to stay on top of things as an Admin for a large gaming Community planning on supporting the game with our own corporation. Pretty sure I will cave since chances of securing another Beta code, especially one that will last until release, are pretty slim. Quite possible that CCP has won this round

I told her i'd look into it, and heres what i concluded: She has the weekend key, meaning in order to play the game, she has to waste 20$ on something she wont really get into (since its a beta, most of DUSTs elements arnt apparent). I see many others got either the first or second batch of FA Beta Keys, i would bring it up with CCP and Sony, since its there bad. Even if i had the money, i wouldnt spend 20$ on something thats F2P.
