I was just hoping we could get some dev responses on how they will select for Beta.

I'm sure they want a varied selection of gamers particularly those that haven't played the game before for more thorough feedback.

As far as I know regarding beta, Yoshi-P confirmed that Beta access is not related to Legacy status. This can be taken to mean either "Yay, we're all getting in" to "Aw, all current players are in the same pot as Joe Public".

The only people confirmed to have been able to apply for access are those who are lucky enough to have been able to attend Expos where SE were in attendance.

As one of many people who are concerned that we will have to go up to 6 months without our X|V fix, it would be a relief to at least have an idea of how the selection will be done.
