CE Pre-Orders are being invited in multiple waves, and the first wave has just hit the shore. The servers aren't up yet but you can prepare to join the WAAAGH by getting the client now! Remember that CE invites are still subject to eligibility, but everyone who pre-ordered the CE will get in for the Preview Weekend coming up soon!
We'll have more for you tomorrow, check back then same bat time, same bat channel.

If they're eligible, if your under 18, or don't meet required comp specs you won't get in.
Invited! Now just gotta wait *deleted* for it to download...
Thats an NDA breach. ;)

... I'm at a loss for words. Today has sucked hardcore. I had to sell my friggin' Wii to pay for friggin' medical bills. Now this. I'm so over everything. What's the point in following a game for as long as you do when you continually get kicked in the balls everytime!? I have been VERY patient in the past. Very patient. But to stay at applied for over a year, when I'm WELL above system requirements (3gigs of ram and a 8800GT)... just dunno. Maybe jeebus hates me.
Yes, that was a rant. Don't flame me.
Grats to all that got in.

I'm in, but at the current rate, uTorrent informs me I won't have the entire client for about 1 year and 37 days. I suspect beta will be over by then.
It would be nice to have a non torrent DL option as my cable modem is definitely going to waste.

Problem is I think I screwed up with something, but I can't ask about it because I think it's an NDA breach, and I'm going out of my mind thinking I screwed myself out of this before it even started :(

Since Mark said that CE holders would be getting CB invites and CE people are getting invites to something, gonna go ahead and say CB. On top of that, Open Beta wouldn't have a system requirement to be chosen to play in OB, you simply enter the codes on August 15th to make an OB account.

The usual; check the ports your torrent client is using and make sure they are open on your firewall/router. Speeds are pretty varied ( as high as 200 as low as 20 for me).
Might be an all nighter type thing for most.
In case anyone's interested, heres a quick tutorial on how to optimize your bittorrent clients:

Read the Herald, it specifically says check back tomorrow at the same time for the next wave. How many days it'll take to wave out the invites is the real question. I'm hoping Monday or Tuesday will be the last day.

I have a high end system myself. Top of the Line Alienware Laptop less than a year old.
I didn't get in this round either but hey, from what I am seeing a bunch of folks are bottle necked at the Client DL.
And even still if you have it, what good is it with out the actual servers up?
Relax folks, I am sure they are working hard to hook us up here. I mean, come on, it's SATURDAY... they are even working on the weekend to get us set up.
These people rock for all the hard work they are doing to please us.
I want in just as bad as the rest of ya and yes I am unhappy I didn't make the first round, but after waiting for SO LONG for this title, to have these last few weeks bring the steps closer by LEAPS and BOUNDS I can't get angry about it.
Just a month or so ago we were looking at an November release and now here it is only August and we are getting into the CLOSED BETA!!!
I can't wait but I am gonna have to. :D

Most of my specs are fine, good graphics card, lots of RAM. But I have AMD Athlon 64 3500+, which is marked at like 2.2GHz in dxdiag. Hope that doesnt effect me getting in. I just assumed, I run Crysis/Halflife 2 fine shoul dbe ok to handle Warhammer? Pre-ordered my CE from bestbuy and got my code in a leaflet in a little box, I dont think I've seen anyone else who had leaflet code get in yet. Ahhh Must get in!!!

I'm guessing there is one on Client Login screen or in one of the Files that are in the Download. but then I truly have no idea.
so I am downloading this CB at a whopping 1-5KBS...says my ETA to completion is 6 weeks. ummm...anyone else having this slow dl time?
Yeah I'm thinking mroe people need to adjust their upload speeds. I'm on a 25mb / 3mb Circuit and I'm Downloading at about 3/4 the speed I'm uploading.
Make that 1/2 the speed now.

08-09-2008, 04:21 PM
IN order to make my experience with WAR even more annoying, I talked to customer service at Best Buy and they informed me that they are not shiping the CE codes till the 17th of this month. Thats slightly better then EA Store that just refuses to answer my questions. Guess ill have to wait another week due to wrong decisions about not ordering from amazon.com.

What do you mean Joltan? I mean the best buy pre order keys are good because you can enter them on website and they change your account to collectors edition pre-order, I dont know what you mean by shipping the codes. Anyhoo, even once you DL the client now no ones gonna get in till after the 15th id imagine. THey are just letting people start DLing it now so the bandwidth wont be overloaded if they release it to DL to everyone all at once. Probibably gonna see more and more people get in all next week leading up to 15th so most people will have the client downloaded by the time they can login to the beta.

How long ago was it sent?
To people with fairly slow torrent download speeds (I'm included in this category): Pretty much everyone is having bad speeds. There are very, very few seeders compared to leechers, so things are super slow. That's expected for a fairly "new" torrent though, things will pick up.

Hey, I have a question for you guys.
When I leave my computer for awhile and don't do anything on it, it goes into sleep mode.
Question: Will the torrent continue to download when my computer does this?

The Europeans get a box with the code, Americans just get the paper. If your comp specs are good, and you're 18+ expect a beta soon, wether today, tomorrow or the next day, if ever (might slip through the cracks) I dont know.

Best buy will not send the email containing the preorder codes till the 17, which means I cant dl the client till then and it will not be able to play if they have the preview weekend. The annoying part is that I ordered the CE back in may from them and back in march from EA store.
I'm never buying from Gamestop again...

I got my invite. Guys also keep in mind, it's gonna take at least a couple days to download the client. I'm sitting on 30-60 kbps... after one hour I'm only at 1.1%
Guys waiting on the invite waves. I'm pretty sure this is random, so by the end of the last wave you should be in, don't worry.

I don't see a problem in mentioning the download speed (other than being useless information). It's common knowledge that everyone needs to download the client somehow. Mentioning the form of the download on the other hand has already been explained as not allowed on this site.

The only problem I have with not being invited today is that I'm now more wary of not being invited. Purchased CE from EA within hours of release, put in codes Apr. 4, decent specs but minimal RAM.
The upside is that us late-invite-getters will have seeders! Muahaha.

When I tried to register and activate my key on this site https://accounts.eamythic.com/ I would get a invalid code which worked at the site above. Just want to confirm that I don't need to register here https://accounts.eamythic.com/ because my CE code shows up as invalid there. Thank you.

Ok, so a question... I pre-ordered my CE from Gamestop, and I have the Rave card that has the 3 codes on it (Open Beta, Head start, Bonus Items).... But when I go to create the EAMythic account so I can add my codes, I try all 3, and none work... all I get is Invalid Code... Do I have to wait for an email from Mythic that will tell me I'm invited and give me a Beta code, or what? I'm not sure I've got this understood...any help is appreciated :D
Also, I haven't updated my DXDiag for a long time, but nothing's changed, and I'm WAY in there on the specs :
8800 GTS (overclocked)
2.4 Ghz Duo Core
2GB RAM
Should I update anyway?

Okay, I know this has been explained to death but I just want to make sure.
The Codes on the rave card. (The card some of us got from EB Games) do NOT need to be entered into the https://accounts.eamythic.com/ Site. That site is not going to be used untill August 15th, correct?
While, the codes we did get from our pre-orders, we should have entered ONLY the Open Beta Access code into the the Beta Center website. https://betacenter.eamythic.com/ And that's all? Correct? We should see the bullet..
- Collectors Edition Pre Order
And then that's it. We just continue to sit and wait for an invite, correct?
I just need to verify because right now, I'm highly confused. The whole process has been a little daunting. I wish they just went with a simpler system.

The download does seem to get faster as time passes.
Oh and my specs were:
AMD 3600
2 gigs ram
8800gt
Windows XP
So its a decent machine but its no beast.
I'm sure it was probably random or it could have been based on when the pre-order was made since I ordered mine the first day or it could have been a combination of things.
At any rate, just be patient, if you have the CE and the association on the beta center page I'm sure your invite is forthcoming and by the time you get it, you'll have at least one seeder for the download because I intend to leave mine up to help out.
This is so exciting :)

I know how you feel, but let's not go down that path again. Last time (in the press release thread) things got out of hand and the thread got locked, I'm fairly sure they know how people feel - let's just wait until next week (which is tomorrow - hopefully we'll hear something on Tuesday/Wednesday).
Good news for you NA people, this. Make sure to have fun and find bugs. Hopefully something will be done for those who haven't received their codes yet - perhaps the stores could get a kick in the butt from Mythic?

Gamespy said 9GB for all of you clawing to get it. No I'm not in beta until my situation is resolved tomorrow. I ordered a 4850 and 2GBs RAM so I could play open unsuspecting this but it will get here tomorrow so there's no point in putting in my codes until my dxdiag gets updated.

yea im from germany too , no invite yet.Atleast we are good to pay the fee's i choose to play on a EU/EN server because i like the people there. But i have never ever been treated like that, i played WoW EU / Rangarok online EU and FFXI US but this feels like, its the way they tread us and we got to liv with that :/.

Geforce 8800 GT 512MB
4GB Dual Channel DDR2 RAM
Windows Vista 32b
Gamesday 2008
Collector's Edition Pre Order
People with gaming industry affiliations most likely will not get in until OB
People with gaming industry affiliations most likely will not get in until OB
I disagree due to the press being allowed in + being able to blog and talk about the game outside of NDA Restrictions.
Just a guess though.

I would hope so. Does anyone have any idea how many invites were sent out during the first wave?

Wtb faster download speeds! /cry

"...everyone who pre-ordered the CE will get in for the Preview Weekend coming up soon!" So do most of you guys assume it will start on the 16th?

It will start whenever they bring their servers back up. I think it would be pretty silly for them to leave their servers down for a week, but what do I know.

I hope the NDA comes down this week. Those of us ready for WAR in Europe would like to at least get some info from the NA players as it seems we might have to wait a while to get in game.

Well from how it sounds from this MJB post they are bringing up new servers for the CE invites and it most likely will not happen until this next week.

Good post aka. Anyone else having trouble getting onto the beta center webpage. my internet is perfect but it wont load that site(when i click on it from the main war site)
You have to be invited through the beta center minty

All boils down to semantics then, did he mean the current week or the week after this one? Next week can be really vague sometimes.
I'm going to go with them shooting for bringing them up in 2-3 days. People would be extremely frustrated if they started getting invites and no servers would be up for a week and a half.

Because it will say this

And it's their game so they can see that tag.

I really wish they'd come out and say whether or not the minimum requirements for the system specs are the minimum requirements for getting a beta invite.
I'd hate to have not gotten an invite just because I don't have a quad core, 8GB of RAM, 9800 1GB Video Card computer...
Athalon 4200+ x2 64-bit 2.2GHz Dual Core
Nvidia 8600 256MB card
4GB RAM
Your specs are comparable or better than mine.
There is a beta.
I have been invited to the beta.
(I wouldn't stress too much; they're not going to require liquid nitrogen cooled supercomputers at this stage of proceedings.)

Remember that CE invites are still subject to eligibility, but everyone who pre-ordered the CE will get in for the Preview Weekend coming up soon!
Huh? I don't understand these two lines. How can 'everyone' get in if they are 'subject to eligibility'?

They are subject to eligibility for the closed Beta not the preview weekend. Two totally different things.

I'm going to have another day of hope. Hope that will be shattered. Hope that betrays me even as it lifts me up.
I bet I don't get in.

When is this CE preview weekend? This weekend or next?

There is no way of telling. My best bet is that the preview weekend is the 23rd and 24th. But that's just a guess.

If you entered any codes into the betacenter then there should be some thing there that says some thing. Either CE pre order or Wahammer Pre order. If you did not enter any codes then you have nothing tagged onto your account.

I'm curious as to when the servers are up. Game is downloaded and installed. Ready to get in on the action.
No invite this wave....

isn't OB starting on the 15th or something?
wouldn't that mean the servers would have to be up before then?

I'm thinking he is right if only for the fact that MBJ hasn't commented on it. There have been people asking this very question in many different threads across this and other boards, and he remains silent. Instead, he answers questions about obvious things that have been answered time and time again.
I'm not in the "industry" anyway, but the affiliation is on my account because of my own error.
I'm used to getting the shaft by now. Gamesday and CE Pre-order... applied. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get in until Head-start for some stupid reasons... nevermind the preview weekend and open beta (still weeks away).

Oooo ok wait but i thought u had to enter them after august 15th? or do u just enter one at least now just to let them kno i have CE because i really wanna get in ! So do i just enter like the open beta code and it just recordas the CE and doesnt take the code?

i only have 1.5g of ram and i have vista.. and i know the system requirements are 2... every thing else i pass do you think this is reason why i didn't get the invite yet lol.

Just got my invite this morning and began the download. If anyone is curious, I pre-ordered my CE through Amazon on 4/1/08 and registered the code on the site that day. :D It's a pretty slow download, but if I have to leave it on for the new few days, so be it.
If anyone has any tips for speeding up a Verizon DSL connection, the help would be appreciated.

Better not be I spent a few hundred bucks upgrading for WAR and I am sure my system is now above whatever the lowered beta requirements are (especially since I've found posts by some people saying they are in beta that have a worse system than my upgraded one.)
