I never got a key for the game...

[Naked Peppa]

Is it because I am not famous? I stream but I am not popular. Am I not considered a customer? Is my money worth nothing to you? Or is it because of something else? Gender? Political affiliation? I need to know why I never got a key. I pay taxes and I am an American citizen that works hard for their money. I wanted to support the game but I never got the opportunity. What did I do wrong? Why am I being treated like an outcast? I never hurt anyone or did anything bad at all to anyone. I demand an answer.

They gave out limited keys for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. It's a playtest.

So, I know this is obvious bait, but just in case this is that one in a million where the person really is this entitled, I'll bite.

You didn't get in because it wasn't possible for everyone who wanted in to get in.

There was a finite number of people invited, and the invite a friend option was effectively turned off during the test.
I have no idea why your political affiliation or gender, or any other irrelevant personal detail, would be something the game developer would be aware of.

You weren't being unfairly treated, it wasn't some elaborate conspiracy to keep you out, there simply wasn't enough space for everyone.

I regret typing this for a deliberate bait thread, but in this day and age you never know as there are some seriously egotistical sociopaths lurking on the internet, so there's the response.

That's actually not true, after playing at least 4 matches and 30 minutes you were able to invite 2 people.

Yes, and the ability for those people to play was stopped and nobody getting invites could get into the test.

I played, all 5 days, and invited friends who couldn't get in, I know what I'm talking about.

You're talking nonsense. My gf got the invite from Steam directly, and after playing 4 matches has sent me two invites in the form of the following link: https://id.embark.games/id/arc-raiders/playtesting/claim?code=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
That's how me and my friend got the access. It was on Sunday.

Dude you are the one talking nonsense, if you didn't get any problem getting an invitation from someone and accessing the techtest it doesn't mean it was the case for everyone.

Embark had problem with "invite a friend" not working properly and communicated on it almost everyday on their discord.

Brother chill, Im a no one, and got a key. Its just, they limited the access because the demand got too big and they handt the servers running for this. Its just like, I akes almost a year ago like many people, and people asking while the test is already running for a key and get mad, that they didnt get one...

Wrong. I got in the second to final day where I invited two friends on the final day. And in turn, they invited friends as well. I know what I'm talking about

You know nothing, obviously.

I won't shut up. Why would I? Because you continue talking nonsense and being rude and arrogant?

Telling me I'm talking nonsense was rude and arrogant to begin with.

Let me try one more time, and try to pay attention.

I didn't say that everyone who was invited by a friend was unable to get in, I said plenty of people didn't get in.

First, I explained to you that both my friend and I invited several people and none could ever use the invite to get in to the test, it wasn't working, despite multiple attempts across several days.
Second, there were also numerous threads in this discussions page with people asking why they couldn't get in, why they couldn't invite their friends etc...
The developers themselves posted in several places explaining that the invite system had been stopped for a time, and it meant many people couldn't get in through Steam or Epic, though some console invites were still working.

Had you been here and payed attention you would seen this - and therefore you would been informed enough to appreciate my post.
Instead, you explained that because YOU and YOUR friends got in that means everyone else did...and that's not the case.

There's nothing you can tell me that will change either of those two things, so save yourself the bother.

You literally said the following:

And literally provided only YOUR own experience as a proof:

And now you're trying to tell me that my counter-argument was bad because it was based on my experience. Seriously, dude?
You're still talking nonsense, period.

No, I explained that I, along with many others who invited friends - who posted in these very discussions - couldn't get them in.

I told you the evidence was available, and that this was obvious to anyone reading the information provided.
I have my own experience, and the experience of others to verify I was not alone in my observation.

Do you understand?

Embark, the developers, made social media posts telling people the invite system was being paused as it wasn't working as intended.

You, tell me that you got your friends in with no issue...which I cannot prove, and I suspect you can't either!

I can prove that many people COULDN'T get in, and that Embark STOPPED the invite system for some time.
Thus, my statement was correct in so far as the "ability to play was stopped" and the resulting questions that filled the discussions asking why it wasn't working offered corroborating evidence and so I made an assertion based on that supporting evidence and my own observations.

You see how that works?

I have, at least something to back up my claim whereas you have nothing...just your word you did everything you say did, and a seething need to try and score points in this boring little argument.

Are you lonely?

Maybe, get a pet?


Now, I suggest you give up on this because you aren't going to change the facts as they stand, and I also don't believe anything you say, and the weight of supporting evidence is tipped significantly in my favour which is enough to give my opinion validity and render yours meaningless and irrelevant...lol.

Run along, little boy, run along.
