Status: offline 		It is my understanding that the game's release was moved to Q1 2022. My question is does anyone know if they started accepting new beta testers? I heard that there was going to be a second wave of beta testers? I applied for the first one and was not selected so I am hoping to figure out whether they send out a new wave of approvals and I was not selected again or they have not started yet.

Thank.

We're expecting to add in the second wave of testers in the coming week. It won't be a very large number. I'll post here to let you know when the last of that wave is in.

The bulk of the test invitations should go out tomorrow, just FYI. Also, the next Dev Diary should be posted tomorrow!

It will be a relief to find out if I get access. Not much gets my blood pumping these days. I will be happy either way - I am just excited that this whole thing is happening.

We are still working on this unexpected issue with the beta system. At this point, it's quite possible this won't be resolved until tomorrow. Apologies for the additional delay to those who are waiting.

Regards,

- Erik

Sorry I was joking that instead of testing DW2 we have been uncovering issues in the beta process itself.

As a very very long-time fan of the series and with 20+ years of strategy gaming I can say I have never been so excited about a game...
Silly to say at 40+ but here it is I am compulsively checking my email and yesterday i got a heartache receiving a mail from Silterhine about participating in a beta.... which unfortunately was for WEGO world war II!!! ahahaha

Look forward, if selected, in providing valuable feedback on the game. If not in still providing feedback post-release ^_^

For curiosity's sake, I checked in the forum and found my very first post about DW, 10+ years ago!

I am not doubting you are trying to fix it, but it does feel like the disruption is a lot more severe then originally tought.
Sometimes trying to get something done ASAP only causes more delays in the long run, as you avoid the "takes long but is reliable" solution.

Please Erik choose me, please me me me!!! "AHEM" "Ahem", I am sorry I am 41years old and I lost my composure. I am hoping I really get chosen in this round since I was not selected in the last one. However, I do have one slight concern, in the initial beta there was I believe a comment where there might be an issue where I might not receive a notification if I opted to not receive emails from certain companies since it might be the same program. Is there a way to fix this issue? not sure if it will impact me but I am hoping to improve my odds.

Thanks.

Status: offline 		It's worth noting that less than 10% of those waiting to get in (we received a LOT of applications) made it into this wave, so unfortunately I'm sure there will be a lot of disappointment, but we can only handle so many testers at a time in terms of the feedback Elliot and I are able to process. In terms of the testing invitations, we use Constant Contact to send those out, so as long as you have not opted out of mailings from them, you should be fine other than what your local spam filter might grab. Always check your spam folder if in doubt!
