When is the next Closed Beta Event_
Our second Beta Event begins Thursday November 8 around 12:00 PM Pacific and will close Tuesday November 13 at 11:59 PM Pacific. Not sure what time that is for you_ Here's a handy world clock to help you see what time Pacific time is in your time zone. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

Will you be wiping between the last Closed Beta Event and this one_
No, you can continue building out that battle mech you've come to know and love.

Will there be more Closed Beta Events_
Yes! We'll be announcing future events at a later date.

How do I know I'm in the latest closed Beta Event_
If you were in Alpha 2 or Closed Beta Event 1, you're set! Additionally, you should receive an email confirming your invitation prior to the start of the event along with a download link.

How do I get a code_
We've given codes to a few select partners, and when we hear they're handing out codes, we'll be sure to announce it on our Twitter and Facebook, as well as here on the forums.

How do I redeem my code_
Got your hands on a Closed Beta code_ Congrats! Log into your account (or create one!) on the PlayHawken.com website. See on the upper right side of the navigation bar there_ That little section that says "Redeem Code"_ Click that and put your code in!

How do I download the Closed Beta client_
Once we're ready to release the Closed Beta client, you'll receive an email from us with a download link. You will need to uninstall the Alpha 2 client if you have it installed.

I played in the Alpha 2 Event but didn't make it into the last Closed Beta. Do I need to download a new client_
Yes, you'll need to uninstall the Alpha client before downloading the current Beta client.

I played in the last Beta event; will I need a new download_
You won't need to re-download the client. The HAWKEN launcher will patch up to the newest version.

I was invited to the last Closed Beta Event but didn't make it in. How do I download the game_
You will receive an email confirming your invitation prior to the start of the Closed Beta Event, along with a download link. If you are logged in, you can also check on your status here: http://www.playhawken.com/beta

Can I post footage of Closed Beta_
YES! There is no NDA with Closed Beta, feel free to discuss your experiences and upload media!

Help! I broke it!

Oh dear. While I'm not unhappy to be keeping all my levels and gear, I'm actually a bit disappointed that there's not going to be a wipe. I spent all my munnies in the last beta under the mistaken assumption that everything would be reset by the next one.

Hopefully, we'll at least get a few extra MP to top us off, especially if there are new mechs being added for this event...

I'm pretty sure that, considering for some people it will be their first beta, that they will get some extra MP.

Devs said HP will be changed as well due to it being "too slow."

Me too, I used all my points to everything possible. Just to try things out. So I would like devs to wipe all please! Or some extra points to use, that'll do.

Every test so far has allowed us to download the client/updates before the game servers go live.
