do stress testers get any rewards for launch from hitting certain levels or something? heard about a hoverboard but isn't that just in the test?

Nope stress testers get it also at level 10, there are also costume items you can get but you that is a set piece every week

I mean the tracking of it, with the numbers and it down the side... should have elaborated

Pleasantly surprised by the beta, felt tight and well thought out, complete opposite of ESO. Sadly I can't shake the feeling it's just another on-rails hand holding affair all the way to endgame which I can't face. I wish one new MMO would have the guts to revert to quests where the description told you where you have to go and what you had to do. Where you had to do some reading and through that became more immersed in the world. You don't even SEE the quest text any more, just an objective in the corner of your screen and an arrow on a map.

If anyone's still up at this hour, Wildstar Core is going to be handing out beta keys if they can get ~50 more likes on their Facebook page here (this post for reference).

Enjoying it so far. Got my stalker / explorer to level 7 and just realized the time

love the look of the world so far, much more interesting than the flat scenery of my last MMO SWTOR.

Thought this was appropriate here.

Hopefully were getting to the point they just start spamming beta keys on the usual sites. Been deliberately avoiding any info on this one going to be nice going in without really any background.

Well I am glad that the stress test is over lol but I want the servers to be online! what is the best way to make gold? or is that breaking NDA?

These beta tests really makes me hate Mondays. And part of Tuesday.

Me clever. Getting a bad gateway from the site though sigh.

edit - yup **** crashed lol.

MeAnBoY · 18 Feb 2014 at 19:17

Seems like their server is getting hammered, just went to confirm my email and now getting 502 gateway errors

Nerusy · 18 Feb 2014 at 19:29

Isn't it 40k keys, not 400k?

Also it started at 5 pm UK time so by this point I am sure all keys are gone.

Devlish · 18 Feb 2014 at 19:29

Yes its 40k i think. I do not know why they would keep the site up taking emails if there were no more keys though... then again the whole thing seems a bit shambolic so who knows.

*edit - applied at 19.17, got a bad gateway, retired entering my email just now and got a message saying 'you are already waiting for a key for this campaign'. So hopefully that's good news! Think ill leave it at that.

Murray · 18 Feb 2014 at 19:43

All keys will be gone by now, official Wildstar tweeted it two hours ago and its on the main page.

Exactly what happenedto me when I applied 3min after giveaway started, got key around 1 and a half hours after that, so perhaps they still got keys available now after all.
