access to a broken beta

You paid $20 for BETA access and lots of goodies, this is still MONTHS from release.

Buddy the best way to go is write tech support and let them know of your difficulties. They might be able to provide a better answer than this forum, mostly because we have no way of fixing your game.

Buddy, they created what's called a "Tech Support" forum FOR A REASON. I know you probably cannot grasp the reason (must be the reason you are posting in this thread without anything whatsoever to contribute to the actual problem). Regardless, I created this thread for people who might have some useful advice, or have had similar problems, to help me out. Not for people like you to offer their opinions, as insightful as your comment was.

I am not asking for you (you especially) to fix my game, I'm posting in the tech support forum to well......ahhhh.... get TECH SUPPORT. Now, with all due respect, unless you have something helpful, well...sorry but GTFO.

Why are you ppl lurking in this forum anyways it has to be the worst forum to flame if you really feel the need to flame beta forums.....

Wait, but your Beta is working? If I paid $20, and you paid $20, and yours is working, and mine isn't, ..........

can you see the issue there?

I don't understand what you guys could POSSIBLY be blaming me for...I'm just the guy who was promised if he payed $20 he would have access to a WORKING beta...not a main menu.

Because a game is a beta DOES NOT mean it is broken - I have played MANY betas on my PS3 and never has a single one not worked at all. Not a SINGLE one.

I am posting this hoping somebody (who isn't a 16-year-old mongoloid troll) might recognize the problem I am having any help me understand what I need to do. Otherwise, as I have done before with faulty software, I can call up American Express, and let them know I paid for a product that was never delivered, and the charge will not be paid (by my at least).

Also, for those of you who are flaming and trolling me for no reason - even though you don't even have a reason to be IN the thread to being with, seeing as you have NOTHING to contribute - consider for a moment you guys are going to be some of the first console players to be introduced into a mainstream MMO. The way you behave online and in community forums such as this will probably play a significant role in the way MMO devs think about incorporating console players in the future. So far this community is doing a VERY poor job representing the PS3 community.

There is little in the way of intelligent discussion on this forum so far, and apparently the kiddies these days can't even find something decent to smoke, otherwise they wouldn't spend their days spamming and flaming tech support forums. I mean flaming tech support, REALLY GUYS???

I just need some help from ppl who know what they're talking about please.

I don't understand all the obnoxious child-like hostility and frustration in this thread. The game is in Beta - the whole reason we're playing the beta is to identify the problems with the game and address them. Of course the game is gonna suck right now - it's a barebones version of what the game will ultimately be - actually it's not even that because even the core mechanics of the game have a long way to go before it will be something that people are actually going to want to play.

What exactly were people expecting coming into this? If people could be more level-headed in identifying issues for CCP without resorting to all the back-and-forth and personal attacks and "my KD ratio is so much better than yours and this game suxxxx".

Nobody cares about people who post that type of stuff. Why not try to do something to actually improve the game rather than sit in the forums and just complain about problems that you should have anticipated upon signing up for a BETA!!!! Make posts that identify issues you are having with the game in a respectful way so that CCP can address it. If enough people are having the same problem, it will surely be addressed.

Wait, but your Beta is working? If I paid $20, and you paid $20, and yours is working, and mine isn't, ..........

can you see the issue there?

lol, I didn't pay for ****.

They are blaming and flaming you because they are trolls. IF you say anything bad about this game, justified or not, you are viewed negatively. According to most, this game is perfect as it is and god forbid you talk about their great glorified game in any way that isn't positive.

The simple solution concocted by this community for all the issues present is a simple,"It's a beta bro. If the game doesn't work for you properly you are an idiot." While most of us try and bring light to issues, we are guaranteed to be flagged down by the brown nosers in the community. You just need to get used to it, some of them here have their heads so deep they refuse to realize there are issues here and anyone who tries to post about them are just "flaming, trolling, Talking ****, making fun, ect" according to the community. I thought the reason we were here was to "test" and bring light to issues, not flame testers for calling the game what it is, Broken.

I guess since we don't play EVE, we just don't understand the concept of a FPS well enough to be taken seriously here.

If you look through his post, he did say he played EVE.

And you can't call the game broken, simply because it is a beta and as such isn't the finished product - a game. Think of it as a car without doors. You wouldn't call it broken simply because it's missing doors, it's just not finished. It still works, and you'd prefer to have doors, but you'd happily still use the car, no? Especially if you know that in a week's time, you'll know that it will have doors.

everyone knows the only reason we all bought the merc pack was because we didn't get a beta key

Okay so at this point I need to figure out how to get a refund for the $20 I apparently wasted on access to this beta. I cannot log into the game even though I have done nothing wrong, have paid the $20 for the mercenary pack, followed all instructions, even reinstalled the game a couple times, I play tons of other online gams on my PS3 (AND i play EVE online on my PC), have an excellent internet connection, but the game just gets stuck at the loading screens, and eventually brings me back to either the character selection screen or previous menus.

Very frustration, but I guess I'm the idiot for paying $20 for access to a broken beta. However I need to know how to get a refund ASAP. I would appreciate any help.

Sorry dude. He's some info I didn't see in your post. Did you just do this today? If yes, here's some options you should explore. First off. make sure the transaction actually went through on everything. (Which I'm sure it did.) Second. The Beta test servers are currently only up Thursday, through monday, and do have a daily downtime. < Which is what I expect would be your problem.... Hope this helps.

My heart has been broken one to many a time by developers promising the moon then crapping on my chest

Just feel the need to say that if they did this:

then technically, you did get "the moon."
