Title: code button
Post by: Keggi on September 08, 2008, 04:01:05 PM
for those of you who already have an account on war-europe or got your registration confirmation there is now a button marked code on the left hand side of your screen to enter your code.

can take a few go's and browser reloads to work then you just have to wait for a final email then you should be able to patch.

I entered my login details and open beta code on the page that's linked from the latest news message. It said 'my request to activate has been something'. Something positive anyhoo.

So I run the client, log in using the same details, and it says it's wrong. What am I missing here?

you need to wait for a final email and also there may be some kind of queue system (letting people patch in batches)

also the final email can take 1 to 2 hours to come through according to iain_c on the WHA forum dev tracker.

there has also been a couple of patches since OB started and this can take an hour.

Alright. Thanks very much for the info. :)

Saves me from getting my hopes up and waiting all night.

I'm off to have dinner and do some cleaning then.

Might see you in-game tomorrow or Wednesday depending on how things go!

having 4 differing accounts on that site isnt good.  Took me several goes to get the right pass/login/email combo that would validate.

Now just need the email to arrive.

just seen another post by iain_c there is a delay from when you get the email to being able to patch of about an hour.

I can live with that - as I have said elsewhere, while its a good thing to have this beta time, I am not exactly missing it (Playing a bigger man than the whining git I was yesterday!)

some people are reporting that they can patch without getting there final email may be worth trying from time to time.

A rl friend and myself both entered our codes yesterday evening. He says he got his email this morning and started his download before heading off for work. I haven't received anything yet.

So much for 'guaranteed open beta access' so far.

What annoys me about their communication at the moment, is that they're saying 'You HAVE to be patient'.
 
Excuse me? I will whine and bitch like any other customer who has been promised open beta access by buying a CE.
Don't tell me I have to do anything. That community manager should be crawling through the dirt, flinging apologies wherever he goes and not saying that I have to do bugger all, then crawl inside a hole until they fix it, only coming out of said hole to give us updates combined with even more apologies.

/rant

Poop, that's what I say. :)
The way this is going I might as well get the house all cleaned up and get my stuff done before Sunday so I can just take part in the head start right away. If they don't mess that up.

well i havn't had to go through this farce so far with being in CB but will have to enter my other codes before headstart.

hope they are not going to leave it till sunday and thats if they get this disaster sorted by then.

they are now saying they have only 10k more email to send out and there are already 70k ingame since sunday.

what about the other 70k or so that cant even create an account

Its like a pint of guinness takes a while to pour but hopefully worth the wait


in the other hand ive been waiting on my email since 1600 yesterday still nothing, spammed 20 tabs as suggested still nothing, then i thought maybe im putting in the wrong email address so ive now tried again with my alternate and still waiting.

Tic follows toc follows tic.....

I have too many accounts on that site.

I keep getting emails/passes mixed up - which results in lots of "you are doing it wrong emails".

I have finally written all of my logins down and am now spamming random combo's to see what works...

Registered Monday evening, my request was registered. As of yet, no confirmation.
Registered Tuesday evening (15 minutes ago), my request was registered. As of yet, no confirmation.

Client just keeps kicking me out after too many 'false' attempts to log in.

I'm getting Spore tomorrow.

seems they are bringing account creation back online tonight.

yeah that will help with the backlog of emails ::)

Noooooooooooooooooo!

One thing that annoys me in all this - they made it hard to remember passwords by asking for 2 digits as part of it as well as a capital letter......  Both of which deviate so far from my usual selection of passes :(

/me goes back to spamming for activation emails.
Title: Re: code button
Post by: Keggi on September 09, 2008, 04:31:21 PM
strange about the capitol letter thing when i first created my account they asked for this.

but i could never get mine validated so i tried some weeks later and you didnt need the caps but you did need the digits.

Post by: Mangala on September 09, 2008, 04:59:03 PM
So havent got an email yet, but am patching via the patcher using the login I tried days ago - now that i found the right email account for it (maybe i should streamline all my contact details to one or two not 6 or so....).

So fingers crossed the code has been applied but the email is slooooooooooooooow :D
Title: Re: code button
Post by: Keggi on September 09, 2008, 05:02:08 PM
quite a few ppl have said they can get in without having got a email thats why i suggested trying the patcher a few  posts ago :)

Although a lot of players are still queuing to have their codes validated and our technical teams are still working to improve that process, we still want to share the eighth edition of the guild highlights with you

From the latest news post.

I'll try forcing the client again shortly.

[edit]
Oh em gee... it's patching now after accepting a login that it had denied about 15 times before...

Now installing DirectX as that gave me a dll error...

I'm in now... :)

Need to get a small fan to keep my laptop's temp down. Turned everything down low, looks crap, but hopefully I can get a new pc at some point!

See you in-game at some point!
