Went home from
work earlier for this.
Thought I could
play this weekend.
But next weekend
is better, after
my exams.
- Good luck -
Oh - I opened new tabs
instead of refresh.
In the hope that made it a bit faster.

I had about 10 tabs open for the beta page, and just cycled through F5 for them starting about 3 minutes before start of signup, watching the load indicator at the top of each tab and checking each after timing out, until I finally got the page loaded with the link to join. I sure hope I entered my email address correctly! Pretty sure I did...
Guess I should have gone to work on time today. Sleeping in an hour and a half = missing this completely.
Edit: I wasn't in the ALB or RD closed BETA, but I know there were some problems with getting people to really sink time into it. I would have tried to do some vetting to see who could dedicate a lot of time to it. You aren't really worth any good if you can only provide like 5 hours of play over this limited period. I hope most people that got keys are least can dedicate a lot time to it.

so the announcement and sign-up were several hours apart? questionable choice to say the least
This... I wonder what the point of this Closed Beta is... Because the window for sign-up was only a few minutes and at an odd time for many. It seems a more random approach than one that they were seraching for people to really test the game.

I'd just like to clarify that this isn't an "odd time", it makes perfect sense since Eugen is based in Paris. For users from Europe it's a normal "I just got home from work" time and it makes sense to release an invite like this when Eugen staff is in the office.

It is not, you will be forced to sign an NDA (as far as I've understood) which prohibits streaming, discussing outside of Beta forum, sharing screenshots etc).
Hm ok
. Thanks for ur answer. I hope Eugen will make us (the non VIP Beta user) a little present and show us a new Trailer with some Gameplay parts the next week.
I only questioned the purpose of this Beta... obviously it is used to test, but what is being tested?
As stated by several regulars, their experience levels and passion for the game would probably indicate a thorough testing if they we used.
Having a few minute window of opportunity for a few ppl to 'luckily' get in tells me that this VIP Beta may have another purpose:
I speculate it maybe allows the Dev Team a wide range of opponents to beat down and test... that happen to all be AVAILABLE AT A UNIQUE TIME

Its a famous Citation from the X-Games, and a book of it.
Just a small annecdote; It fits so gladly to the topic, if you know what it means...

It's called CET, Central European Time. It may be unique to you, but to over two hundred million people, it's not. And I really doubt the Dev Team just wants a "wide range of opponents to beat down". More than likely, they simply want people to play the game, gather data from those matches, and figure out balancing and gamebreaking issues, as well as give feedback.
Yeah, I'm upset I didn't get a beta-key, too, but let's be reasonable here. They probably didn't want that many people testing the game, to avoid any leaks or they felt it was unnecessary. They probably wanted to avoid vetting because it takes time and resources to go over hundreds and hundreds of registrations (and obviously there were a lot of people trying to register, as their site went down for a brief period). It's also somewhat useless if you've tools in place to gather data directly from games played. Did I want a key? Hell yeah. Do I mind? Not that much, the game will still come out this year, and waiting for it and speculating is half the fun.
