Update #83: Backer Portal, Backer Beta, and Wasteland 2 Keys

[KingArthur129]

How do we get into the 'beta'? Is there a certine tier we have to be in?

[Doppelschwert]

why steam only?

i thought josh said somewhere they would be using another client.

it's not the end of the world, and i'll play it regardless, but still dissappointed.

 

however, could you at least confirm that this won't be early access? so no one from outside will be able to join?

[Nonek]

A quick question if I may, is there anywhere that I may see what rewards I currently have, i've totally forgotten what they are at my level?

[TheRealDrMcCoy]

That is a abit stiff, having to add $130 for something that I can head over to STEAM now and get for $59, does not make sense.

Can Someone verify this information about the $165 +  Tier requirement please?

 

Well, I'm going by the tier description images in the original Kickstarter campaign. You do get other things besides the Wasteland 2 key, too.

Beta key seems to be $110+, or a $25 addon.

Go to the backer portal. Choose "My Account" in the top right corner and then click "Orders". Or "Manage Pledges" in the top right corner.

[Rogvel]

Yes! Now bring me the 18th!

[Lephys]

Oh, right, and I never got my custom forum title with the Order addon I purchased ages ago!

For you, and anyone else who pledged for the Obsidian Order of Eternity but has not yet received your title, please go to this thread and post your name, followed by the title you requested.

 

I'm not sure why, but some of the title surveys from the Portal seem to have made their way to the forum mods (some people received their titles without posting in that thread at all), but most didn't.

 

If you'll present your name and desired title in that thread, though, I'll make sure it gets to the Great Title Weaver,

[TheRealDrMcCoy]

Yeah, I just saw that a few minutes ago, thanks.

I really thought the survey would be enough. Oh, well...

[BillyCorgan]

Cool !

[Bryy]

This would be great . . . if I could actually get to the backer portal.

Obsidian is worse than EA!

Just to be on the safe side: Are beta backers allowed to make screenshots, videos and talk about the content of the beta?

Or are there any NDA-like restrictions?

[Kal'Daran]

My address tab is totally empty and non editable. My orders tab is also empty but I'm pretty sure I qualified for the Wasteland key. Should I start panicking and running for support or is this known and will be fixed?

Yes, they want you to spread the word or images, videos or whatever as much as you can.

Hmm, maybe someone can correct me but since you don't even seem to have a Backer Badge you might want to contact support.

Or did you pledge just now? In that case I'd wait a little longer.

Eternity will be my first Steam Stream.

[Lasweetlife]

I got really excited until I realised my Wasteland 2 key was included with my Torment pledge not my Eternity one. Curses!

Then you've had access to W2 for a few months now. My W2 key was included with my Torment pledge and I got my key a while ago from inexile.

I backed the game back in October 2012, I also left a message at the badge request thread, thanks.

• We will be releasing the Backer Beta on Steam only. [...]
• Initially, we are releasing the Backer Beta on Windows only. [...]

ditto

[maplejar]

Is it okay to buy an extra beta key and give it to a friend? Even if they aren't a backer, or a part of the community yet? Can't wait for the 18!

how?

lol, found it, will that beta key get normal key when the game is released, or do I have to fetch a new one by then?

Hype level rising through the roof! Can't wait for August 18th

It sounds as though your pledge hasn't yet been confirmed (even if you've already gone through the steps to confirm it). If you log into the portal, then click "Manage my pledge," is there anything listed there? I would double check that.

Yeah, that. Well, I'm still on the fence on whether that's worth an additional $25 to me. $25 that I might not even have, depending on how the month goes...

Yeah, it lists all my backings with a green "✔OK" next to it. My email address is also the same that I used with the kickstarter so I'm not sure what the problem is, I better just send support a message.
