I hv no idea...
Brys Dedi UK is currently empty. Try to connect to that. Password is "bryns". That should allow you to connect.
To reiterate: this will be fixed in today's patch.

Thanks for your great idea.
But Why not? It is a gereral discussion board.
And I just registered my acount for 30 mins, I wish I did can see more than 10,000 of the posts within this short period.
Thank you.
Now now, angsty nerds of the internet. This includes the rest of you high-minded dev worshipping morons.
This board is filled with threads like this because <b>this is a very legitimate problem and grievance right now</b> and not everybody has as much time as you do to carefully gloss over every thread to see if their question has been answered.
I'm sorry it offends you forum denizens that people are flooding your "legit" topics about gameplay with these questions but the fact remains that the majority of people cannot experience the "gameplay" you're so nerdily trying to defend.
The devs promised people in the special edition with a chance to <i>play</i> the alpha. In my opinion this was a pretty huge oversight. Yeah, bugs are commonplace, it's not finished, but to not even be able to play it?
Stop being so high and mighty all the time guys. You look like raving nerds.

At which point am i worshipping devs? where the ###### did that come from? .. Have you any actual idea what an alpha usually looks like? theres a reason a public alpha is rare.
Bugs commonplace? wtf were you expecting? a flawless finished game ?
And this whole high and mighty thing you added at the end, what are you? the cool kid on the street who gets to call people nerds? Grow the ###### up!
Repeat after me " <!--coloro:#ffff00--><span style="color:#ffff00"><!--/coloro-->There is no such thing as a playable Alpha<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->"
Thank you

No excuse is a good excuse.
The problem is that I paid the money, but they haven't given the service as promised. Don' think it be complicated

You paid for the finished game .. the alpha was a bonus .. maybe you should read things a little more before buying them.
At no point is the alpha a service, you still haven't answered on what you expected the alpha to be.
Edit: removed rant to wrong person lol

What I expected? I thnk you really used a wrong word.
I think you should say who gave me tp expect to access the game, however i haven't even gotten into the game????
XXXX off....凸
Hi Wing Ho,
Thank you for your pre-order of the Special Edition of Natural Selection 2!
The support of players like yourself has made a huge difference for our
company and has allowed us to develop Natural Selection 2 completely
independently.
Today we're releasing the Alpha of Natural Selection 2. Access to the alpha
is limited to those people who pre-ordered the Special Edition. In order to
play, you will need to activate your ownership of the Special Edition on
Steam. You can do this with the following key:
This key has been generated for you and only need to enter it once to activate
the Special Edition on your Steam account. To activate the game, select
"Games/Activate a Product on Steam..." from the main menu in Steam and
enter in the key.
You really cant have expected the alpha to work on release. FFS most pc games dont work on release day .. look at starcraft 2 ffs .. 12 years .. 12 years and they have a huge bug list on launch day.
Just give the devs sometime ..your not missing anything atm .. games rarely last 5 mins before the server crashes or your machine crashes. just give it time and report what you can to the proper channels (check the sticky).
Full version when done (via Steam)
First access to alphaon July 26th ( Can I??)
Special all black marine armorwhenever you play online (I haven't seen it yet)
Our eternal gratitude
Unavailable after July 26th
First access to alphaon July 26th : you have access .. theres nothing to say it has to be in a playable state (access being the client and key)
Special all black marine armorwhenever you play online : its the alpha why would you need to see it ?
Our eternal gratitude : your getting this

I am sure you are one of them. how much benefit they offer you? I pay you double.
You can't keep saying the word "alpha" and expect it to make everything right. You can't hide behind it. It's <b>just a word</b>. The bottom line is that a major, if not one of the only selling points of the special edition was access to the alpha. In this respect, it is no longer an alpha. It is a product that was released in exchange for money.
No one here expected the game to be perfect. Nobody even expected it to be decent. But they did expect to be able to <b>play it</b>.
You nerd worshipers can say "alpha" as many times as you like and keep trying to curry favour with whichever dev member you have a crush on, but the bottom line is that this was a tremendous oversight, or ###### up, pardon my french, on behalf of the devs. When something as categorically ridiculous as 90% of people not being able to play the game occurs, you have to expect that the forums will be flooded with threads.
And only people with their e-nose up in the air look down on people for wanting to ask questions about something like this.
Get a grip on reality, nerds.
Nobody cares when you signed up (although if signup dates matter I suppose I've got you beat). If you cannot understand what an alpha is, people are going to get frustrated, and with good reason.

So, let me get this straight. People paid for access to the alpha... which means it is no longer an alpha... That means they paid for nothing. UWE <i>ripped us all off</i>!

I agree that people expected to be able to play and frolic in the alpha as if it were, say, a beta. An alpha is designed for very basic testing. Almost none of the gameplay is in, and most of the essential features of the engine are unimplemented, broken, or unoptimized. Whether the alpha is in a "playable" state or not depends on the vagaries of a person's hardware configuration and how the code feels like behaving at any point in time. That is what an alpha is. If people wanted to play it, well, hopefully it works for them. It is not guaranteed to work any more than an unbuilt house is guaranteed to provide shelter for people who have been provided access to it in order to help with the building.

I agree that it was an oversight, or more accurately a miscalculation, if the developers expected people to understand that a game in an alpha state is not playable on 90% of hardware, especially at the very beginning of the alpha cycle. I think it was an oversight if they thought that the forum would not be flooded with threads. I think, though, that they knew all of this would happen, and are cool with it. The only people who whine about the alpha are people who purchased the Special Edition, and presumably if they hate it so much that they give up playing, they'll at least come back for release, when everything will work fine and nobody will have any reason to rage. There might be a bit of bad press from people talking up all the bugs in a version of the game that is supposed to be horrifically buggy, but I imagine UWE doesn't mind because this is offset by the money they made by selling alpha access. This money is being used to make the game better, and I guess that's a tradeoff they were willing to make. It's certainly not one that I'm qualified to criticize. I imagine everything will work out for the best: people like you will either give up on NS altogether, wander away until the game is playable, or just make a bunch of whiny posts in the forums all day every day until the alpha slowly morphs into something you're happy with, which is of course the plan because

No. Speak for yourself.
Lol, I was expecting entity placeholders to show up in the maps at least! Theses guys did a great job with the release and worked very hard to get it here when it was time. Can't wait to see what they can do over the next few weeks. EXCITED! =D
