Sign up for the beta
Search for a website that's giving them out
Pre order the game

My Google-fu is apparently weak today. Any links to websites that are giving out keys for this weekend?
All the results I'm finding are for earlier beta tests or announcing this test, but I don't see any with keys.

http://www.reddit.com/r/sharewildstar is probably your best bet unless someone here has extras since they sent invites to everyone that's signed up for their beta prior to now.

This is a bonus weekend so they didn't give any keys to their usual partner sites. The May 2 beta is when you'll most likely start seeing high profile giveaways in the usual places like IGN, curse and mmorpg.com, etc. And open beta is after that before the May 31st Head Start date.

Missing launch as I'll be away on vacation but I'll be playing. Rolling wherever the main PA contingent goes; after playing ff14 I realized I don't really miss open world PvP so being on a PvE server is no big deal.

I love the art in this game, it's like if WoW came out in 2014.

Never has a game had one faction clearly so much cooler than the other, they should have fixed that. I'm playing Exile in the beta to keep Dominion zones fresh.

captaink

I was pretty disappointed that the game immediately goes to Women in Fridges as a plot point for the Exiles, but the rest of the game is pretty cool

Beezel

I like that the Exile leader guy is pretty much Kenny from The Walking Dead game. "Muh Family, Lee"

Platy

Which faction is the cool one

BlankZoe

Personally I like the Exiles a bunch

A group of ragtag races that don't really like each other led by a bunch of space rednecks is funtimes

Dominion by a mile.

BlankZoe

Oh jesus Chua mounts are literally hamster balls

Sterica

I dunno, Exiles seem to have a Firefly vibe to them which probably helps draw players.

godmode

I don't think I'm going to have much chance to play this weekend, SO: first person to PM me gets my keys.

Claimed!

WeedLordVegeta

Guild name should be called Granok! At The Disco

Bullhead

I'll post in this too - I have a European beta key avail if anyone needs, claimed the NA one for myself. PM me if interested.

Tallahasseeriel

I seem to be the sole supporter of Merch Space Ventures

Radius

Nexus Zoning Committee is just the superior option there.

SCREECH OF THE FARG

which class is the most active and/or best in pvp stuff

The Sneak!

If I preordered the game right now, would I have access to this weekend's beta test?

NotoriusBEN

yes @The Sneak!‌
be aware of the largish file to download however.

Is this solo friendly at all so far?

Sterica

Questing is pretty solo friendly, and the game has a group finder for PvE content.

Tallahasseeriel

This game is fun.

Melding

hey which side is the popular one? also what server we on? i want to know so i can make semi informed decisions.

the devs are doing everything in their power to make sure there is content for solo'ing, grouping, and raiding.
I wouldn't say you *had* to group in this game, but with dungeons and adventures and ship-hands (scalable dungeon content. can do it solo, or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 peeps together and it scales the power up)
but even just dabbling in 5-mans opens *tons* of content up.

also for the solo pvp'ers, there's the usual battlegrounds, but its also possible to get signed on as a merc for the 40vs40 warplots, if the teams are short a man or two.

Dominion owns

NotoriusBEN

Inorite?

The Dominion is like this smattering of the Star Wars Empire, The Imperium of Man from War40k, and the Core Worlds Alliance from Firefly all mixed up in the best way possible.

there's a Dom guild on Nexus and we have an Exile guild somewhere but I forget.

NotoriusBEN

the exile guild is on pergus (pvp server), ran by sniperguy. I dunno if he's running around atm.

:winky:?

Lost Salient

There's... there's a bar called the Rockin' Rowsdower.

Oh dear.

Lost Salient

Ah I see, all the goats are Rowsdowers.

I don't understand but this is the most compelling argument for me to play this game.

PMAvers

So, yeah, went into a dungeon for the first time tonight.

They are going to destroy PUGs who are used to easy WoW-style dungeons.

NotoriusBEN

good. I hope they cry tears. Maybe they will buckle down and really think about what it means to play and win with a few other people. You are definitely going to want to group with competent people.

Sterica

Adventures seem fairly easy and I think a lot of pugs will gravitate towards those.

Yeah, adventures don't seem to require much planning.

"Dungeons," on the other hand, feel like five-man raids.
