When the beta 2A is suppose to be available on Impulse? If its already available, I'm at 1z and cant updates so whats wrong?
omg i thought it was out when i saw this
i'm yet to receive my beta details in my email, or get charged for the game, so might have to wait till the afternoon if it's getting released today (US afternoon that is ...grrr...)
(i wish you guys were working from australia right now, just so i didn't have to wait till later at night to get it, then have no time to play it between downloading, sleeping and work
)
Stardock typically releases their builds on Thursdays, as Bill_Door says. It is implied that Beta2 will be released on this coming thursday, but I don't think we have the promise in writing (which makes sense :P).
Me too. Somebody must pay ! 
Where do you live Benitus ? I have made some delicious cookies... 
Brad has to release it right now, since I had thought it was out when I saw the title. Now that I'm utterly crushed, the only way to get me out of my despair is to release Beta 2! 
Yes! Release Beta 2 now! Don't send this poor man into depression!
sigh...and now i remember that it's only wednesday, false announcement confused my internal clock
hehe sry for the confusion guys. but I was just in need of a anwser...
So it should be release this week, Gr8t news!! 
I'm from Canada, 2 days left...
Bring it on! I had to resort to yet another game of HOMM3 tonight to slake my thirst for turn-based goodness. Not that I haven't been enjoying Elemental 1Z! It's already starting to develop that addictive quality which is the hallmark of a fine TBS. 
go get some sleep!
shhh random, these lovely people have no idea the horror of my sleeping pattern, or how this game is likely to make it worse
hmmm
SUGGESTION: add a disclaimer the the eula over sleep lost due to playing way to much of the game
I tried to pre-order via paypal and it said that was not allowed for pre orders . Guess I can't be in beta 2 ?//? 
Tsk tsk tsk. These new generations... Relax people. You weren't here in the just-announced-the-game stages when we only had some mockup screens and even plans for AI personlities in multiplayer (before the Demigod apocalypse). That was hard, having only our imagination to entertain ourselves while waiting for some mana from Stardock, while you now you only have to wait a few Caturdays for new beta builds.
I preordered yesterday. Do you guys think i `m gonna get in beta 2, or am i already too late ?
You should be in mareSLO: there is a small time windows after a new beta release when preorders are given access, and it has not started yet.
Beta 2 should start tomorrow, and any preorder done before that (and for at least a few days after) should receive an e-mail with a key to register the beta with impulse if needed.
Thank you Jack for that informative answer. Was hoping to hear something like that 
is this beta a closed beta or are you only surposed to have impulse
because i have impulse and that would be handy
The only requirements for next Elemental beta are:
- the PC with Elemental should be connected to Internet
- having preordered the game (the card will be charged when the beta open)
- using Impulse to install the game
it is closed. Open to those who preorder (though they have stated open later on at some time). It is through impulse, however.
You need to pre-order elemental to have acsess to beta (and to have impulse, yes:)). Rather simple)
The full procedure :
1°) preorder the game
2°) when a new beta phase starts and you have preordered (beta 2 is supposed to start tomorrow), you receive an email with a serial.
If you preorder just after the start of a new beta Phase, you might still get in (I think that for beta 1 the time windows was one week after the new beta), else you will have to wait for Beta 3 later this summer.
3°) install Impulse, and register the game using this serial
(note: if you preordered using your impulse account, the serial might not be needed, but you still have to wait for a new beta phase to start)
4°) run impulse, with the setting "show beta/unreleased games" checked in order to have Elemental displayed in the "My Games" tab.
5°) Install the beta and enjoy the torture*.
* it has been said that Beta 2 could maybe come with some fun included, breaking a long tradition of tedious beta-testing.
Yeah, make sure you follow this one, otherwise it won't show up.

I thought it was gonna be an actual announcment >> you butthead...
