YES! You can change to beta by Rightclicking on PoE in the Libary > Properties > Beta > Choose the awakening option. Assuming you have the key type the key in the required field and you should get beta access

why not have betakeys drop ingame, so that active players get the chance,
not dead accounts ?!

This.

Well... I guess a break will do me good. I'll phase it out until I hear about the release and do something else. Unless I get an email out of the blue saying I made it in the beta. Would have liked to test out things and play the new stuff since I'm clear everything kind of player.

Still think this whole set up was ill conceived. I now have to avoid anything POE until the release so I don't see too much of what I am excited to discover myself.

Don't want to take the beaten trail. The result will surely be amazing, work it hard so we can enjoy the content soon!

This is an awesome idea, but probably too late to implement and would require some coding and such. Something they should possibly have for chapter 5.
Not only would it give players who play a better chance, it would cause players to play, some of them would buy bankspace and other cosmetic items, so profit. Plus better access to a dedicate player base that cares about the future of the game, thus more likely to communicate bugs and ideas. Perhaps keep the 5 minute lottery so fresh players can get in too.
I do not see this as first stage though as you do not want to many at the start however, that could also be controlled by drop rarity. Best idea so I have heard so far Dampf, I would give you a beta snacks if it was in my power to do so. Nice.

-edit This would also not discriminate vet VS new player, anyone could get the drops, all you have to do is play the game. Also, it would give folks a way to influence their chances, even if it is a slight increase. Having even the even the illusion of control would mitigate the negative posts and raise publicity.

Plsssssss give beta key ... i sit now for 2 Days in front of this Amazing *kreygasm* Inviter timer and never seen my name ... i play this game for so looong and want to test the content ... iam Hungry and i need to pee pls give beta key or i will die in front of my pc :D

Most of the first posts I made were about game balance. The loot system, skill gems etc. I actually had forum moderators mock my posts about loot assignment. A few months later we had assigned loot. Not claiming the idea at all, your post just reminded me of it.

I remember when D3 was in production and bashiok would repeatedly mock the diablo community for their suggestions regarding the art direction, loot system etc etc. The community was right about pretty much everything and bashioks ended up eating his own words later down the track.

I don't really have a point I guess. Not all community members give good feedback, or ideas. But if there is a strong sentiment from a dedicated community, it is usually right. They are, after all, the ones with the most experience playing the game (kinda what makes them dedicated).

Your point is quite clear and I honestly find GGG one of the most involved companies when it comes to interacting with the community. We may not get everything we want, but at least we get some, and that is a lot more than most.

i really wanna play! wtf
