[Myll_Erik]

Working on this today folks - I've been asking questions and hunting people down trying to get this resolved.

Thank you very much we greatly appreciate this.

Okey had to laugh when i got the message back from Amazon so they want to dispatch the beta key on release day 2nd of april.... this is what they send me :

"Hello,

I understand that you want to know when would you receive the Beta Key for the "Defiance: Ultimate Edition (PC CD)".

I have checked your order and can see that the item is scheduled to dispatch April 2, 2013.

We will send you the beta key for the game as soon as the order gets dispatched.

If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude for the patience you've displayed thus far.

Thank you for shopping at Amazon.co.uk.

We hope to see you again.


Did I solve your problem?


Warmest regards,

well hope this gives Myll_Erik a little more info.

I got the same, and continued to mail them about the issue as I am adamant to get my code so I get both the pre-order benefits and subsequently, beta access. They got back to me with...


I understand from your e-mail that you are concerned about the beta code for your order# BLANK-FOR-PRIVATE.

I have checked the website and I can see that we currently do not have any information about the beta codes that you are referring to.

However, if there is any further update regarding the beta codes, we will update it on the website.

We are sorry, as we are not of much help to you in this regard.

We will be waiting in anticipation on your answer.

As was to be expected, they're pulling the same stunt on me, too. Here's what I've got so far (links and personal data have been removed):

Hello,

the point of participating in a game's beta program is to help the developer find errors in his game. Nowadays it also serves as a means for the customer to familiarize himself with that game before it is released. A beta key that is sent to a customer at the time of the game's official release cannot serve any of these purposes, because by that time, the beta program is already over.

According to Trion, the developer of the game that Amazon.co.uk is selling, Amazon.co.uk is also supposed to mail these beta keys to the customers shortly after they have placed their pre-order. Please escalate this issue to your superiors. I fear that somewhere, something is going terribly wrong, which a lot of your customer's postings on the Defiance developer's forums seem to affirm.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
A Name

Hello,

I'm writing to follow up on our recent correspondence with you regarding the beta code with your pre order for "Defiance Standard Edition".

I'd like to inform you that, I've verified this issue with our concern team and see that you are eligible for the pre order beta code. However, you will receive the code some time before the release of the game.

Rest assured, If you haven't received the code by that time, please feel free to write back to us, so that we will be able to assist you further.

We're still working on this folks - please be patient.

[Madmolar]

I ordered direct from Trion, and I don't have a beta code from them yet either!

[Kaoslion]

The email with beta invites and codes normally flow on a thursday and friday so just be patient that is the part of the week I've been getting emails from them.
