I want to believe in fatshark, but the entire beta process has been pretty concerning. This was their chance to show what they could do as publishers, and the results have been disappointing.

The Public Beta servers went offline for a few hours? *faints*

Your terms are accepted.

It is a little disappointing that I won't be able to play after work, but such is life. At least it hit during the beta window.

On the other hand, Rebel Galaxy was just released, so maybe I'll give that a shot.

That's the thing, it's disappointing because the game is already so much fun! With only 3 maps, 1 of which we avoid because loving up the end is so easy. I just don't get how people can go from "this is amazing I love killing Skaven" to "BUGS IN A BETA? WHAT AMATEURS!!! REFUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The game is officially released on Steam Oct 23 2015, but if you pre-order the game (at a 10% discount), you get access to the open beta test one week early. Beta progression does not carry over into when the full game is released.

Progress will be saved past beta barring some exploitastrophe.

Would exploitastrophe also include the backend falling apart so bad that the devs don't even have any idea whats wrong?

Bad news possibly for some depending on when whatever the issue is kicked off...

01:46 GMT:
When we deploy a fix for this a rollback of progression will be required. We're hoping the amount of loot/levels lost won't be much. The backup should be quite close to when the issues began.

We're terribly sorry for these issues and hope to have things running smoothly again as soon as possible!

So I got the GMG code for an extra 25 percent off and bought the preorder at 20 bucks. I won't get to sit down and play until thursday evening though. If I'm a hitty hitty smashy smashy kind of player, would the Dwarf be a good fit?

Yeah, the Dwarf gets some pretty satisfying hammers and axes. Soldier is an extremely similar class as well. The only major differences are that he trades axes, which are generally more single target and higher damage, for swords, which hit more enemies and swing faster. He also gets a pretty sweet 8-round shotgun repeater thing instead of the Dwarf's awesome drakefire pistols (which basically turn him into the Bright Wizard).

Sure, but if you like to smash poo poo you might want to try starting with the soldier as his starting weapon, a two-handed hammer, crushes skulls and can several rats flying with one huge swing.

Servers are still down so I say let's speculate on potential future characters. For starters:

Bretonnian Peasant

Protected by an impenetrable field of sack cloth and poor hygiene, the Peasant harasses his enemies to ruin with a deadly combination of panhandling and grotesque deformities brought on by inbreeding.

Primary Weapon: Hoes, Rakes, other farming implements

Ranged Weapon: Crippling poverty, handfuls of human refuse

Headgear options can include different varieties of really gross teeth.

And a High Elf White Lion or Swordmaster of Hoeth. Really, any High Elf would do, but preferably not a Wizard.
