Stop making topics saying that you failed to join the game, about 1000 people are in the same boat as you. AG is working hard to put more and more servers up and online so that you can get in the game. What do you expect with the amount of people trying to play?

Every server is full. -1/-1 is a server that is booting up still. 12/12 is full, and even if you see a 10/12, by the time you try to join it will probably be full. They'll keep booting up more servers but it's still not going to help with the amount of people (1000+) trying to get in right now.

edit: as of writing this post there are 23 servers up and a total player capacity of 276. If you're in, great, have fun. If not, please be patient and wait. More servers are booting up as you rage.

Yes, we're aware and bringing up more servers as fast as possible.

I think I'm going to release some stress from servers and watch a movie or something. Worst part of the rush-hour should be over by then I imagine.

I would think "wine" would be more appropriate for that :P.

Stop posting threads like this?

You do realize the servers are NOT the players fault. Do you realize how many Closed Beta Keys have been handed out? Mmobomb alone (not where I got mine), has handed out over 5000 keys themselves, Mmohut has more keys, IGN has more keys, etc, etc. This is an issue Meteor Entertainment should have been well aware of, not trying to make excuses, and cover the fact they weren't ready before they've event started.

Considering this is a Beta Weekend Event as well, this limits the amount of time users get to spend more likely "playing" then "testing", Hawken, thus, word spreads around quickly, and they begin to lose customers, player base, etc. Stop telling people to stop making the threads, because they have absolutely no excuse, and you should not feel sorry for their fuzzy bunny up.

Yes, I'm well aware I sound, and probably look like a fuzzy bunny, but, shouldn't stick up for those who've screwed up well aware of the problems that were going to occur due to their own handouts.

That being said, I can wait until more servers are up, and will just end up going back to Guild Wars 2 for a while, until things settle down.

If you cannot stand some issues during a closed beta test, don't sign for it.

This kind of stuff is exactly what you will test on such events. Is, nowadays, closed beta premium preview time or what?

Regardless of your opinion on who's "fault" this is, simply put, spamming the message board with multiple versions of the exact same complaint pushes other good topics off page and makes you look like an fuzzy bunny who either can't use the Search function or can't be bothered to glance over the thread listings for two freaking seconds.

It's bad netiquette, it's sloppy, and it's highly annoying. So stop making the same threads over and over. Mmmkay?

AG should have prepared more on that we can agree, but...
you know the thing is that people can make these threads endlesly but they also could do only a couple of ones and post on them (sort of better to see one thread with 10 pages than 10 different threads). Probably at least half of these betatesters are newcomers to both forums and testing, and expect flawless game what they can just play before others can and when they cannot they come to forums and whine so much of their personal pain that they fail to see the bigger picture. *hint; it's not fun for AG either*

I agree wine or some other fine liquor would do the trick just fine. The problem is that I have not a single alcohol containing bottle in my house currently :/

My mocca liquor with milk is running out too... servers aren't accepting me too... heh... I hope tomorrow I will indulge myself in proper BETA bug extinguishing test...

My question is who the heck makes a competitive fps-like game such as Hawken and doesn't allow people to MAKE their own servers? Have they been around the last 5 or so years?

I was wondering about that. My eyebrow was raised at tiny amount of servers. I seem more rooms in LoL's custom games region at 4 am in the morning on the NA server, and I can't imagine how many match maker games are going. The previous posters are right...how the heck are you going to toss out so many keys and then have some 40~ 12 man servers up? It's more than a little mind boggling...

I'm playing LoL and killing time, so I don't really care ,but if this is any indication of the future it's a bad sign. On top of that, a lot of people have zero tolerance for this kind of thing: they quickly get frustrated and then move on without a second glance. Why do I care, and why should you? Because if you like this game then you need those silly people to keep funding it money. I used to play Exteel a lot because despite its many, many, MANY flaws it was a fun enough competitive mecha game.

Guess where it is now and you should see why I'm worried.

Well it's still a beta so all options might not be available.

Sorry but i don't get that kind of marketing:

Devs sent thousands of invites/redeem codes for 'exclusive' beta. Now servers are overloaded. To make things worse there are only few and those servers are located only in US.

Haven't You learnt anything from alpha? Or the CEO pushed You to do such megalomania?

And block the console mode to 'let the steam go' is just unfair. Because of the 'offline' mode we started finding graphic glitches & other fuzzy bunny ups yesterday. Wasn't BETA released mostly for it? To make Hawken experience better?

Guys, we're working to bring up EU and UK servers. Currently there's a pretty decent sized issue with the internet backbone in the US that's making this very hard for us.

Also, this is a good problem for us to have. And these kinds of problems are things that we like to work out in beta. Remember, this is NOT a finished product nor should it be used as a demo. It's a BETA.

Indeed, don't worry about it. Closed Alpha/Beta communities are a lot more understanding to the devs compared to when a game is launched.

Yeah.. as much as i like Hawken and it's devs... it's kinda hard not siding with all the hundred frustrated players at the moment.

I get the server delay due to an unforeseen bug and all.

But when you make such a big event, with hundreds of keys been given out by various big mainstream sources, press hype on gaming sites, for such a limited amount of time, and it get's botch up by not having full server capacity is pretty bad and, at a risk of sounding like an fuzzy bunny, inexcusable.

The fact that Closed Beta is so short and 'offline mode' has been deactivated doesn't help the situation either.

And that's why this is a BETA and not RELEASE.
