Hi everyone,

The technical issue was just resolved. Full steam ahead, I've started adding testers and that will continue through the afternoon (it's 1:25PM here now).

Thanks for letting us know.
I will probably need a new F5 key for my keyboard after this.

Please Erik choose me, please me me me!!! [&o] "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.

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!

Thanks for the update Erik. I guess I am one of the disappointed people that was not selected. Congrats on those who were selected. Now I wait until next year.

The disappointment is real, however, that emoji really cheered me up!

Well, that's a shame indeed. I'm back to waiting for the actual release I guess.

Disappointingly, like 90% of applicants, I missed out too.

To be fair, much of my enjoyment in games in recent years has been in alphas and betas. I'd prefer to be giving feedback to a product that had some ability to incorporate the feedback.
