You have never been in a beta test have you? You know how buggy those are............ guess what........ this is ALPHA not even beta. Shutup and breathe and understand that this was not release, nor was it ever advertised as release. If you can't handle problems wait for them to slowly update the game.
It's one thing to not be able to actually play because, yes, this is an ALPHA - not a Beta or a finished product and I'm not treating it as such.
But where is my Black Armor alpha game key?
I loved NS, so pre-ordering NS2 was a no brainer. If you love the game and want it to succeed, it can't have screw up like this early or you will turn off a lot of people :(

well I think the reason why most people is upset is the fact that they paid 40 dollars to play the alpha version. Yet it's turning out to be borderline unplayable.

No, you payed $40.00 to GET the alpha version. So far it looks like a pretty good success. The community has already uncovered a high-latency and server connect issue.

Not borderline; unplayable, period. lol (at least for me anyway)
Such is the alpha. It's all good. The game is obviously far from finished. All good things come with time.

I'd agree pretty much, is this about everyone's expectation?
I paid 40$ for sexy armor and to support Unknown Worlds. The alpha is a bonus, and eventually will lead to closed beta and open beta etc. You didn't pay 40$ to play a game that is only half developed, no one in their right mind would do that. I will not bother explaining about alphas, and betas, and what to expect because a lot of people obviously don't understand and I am sure this discussion will continue for months until people feel its playable.

Some of you guys are kinda ridiculous thinking that an ALPHA at LAUNCH is going to work perfectly. Give it a few days and I'm sure it will be much better.
posted this in feedback too, but this one's for the peeps.
if you can't get in cuz you didnt get the code, go to the help section of this website and have them resend u the code, that worked for me. first code is the same as before, second code is black armor (that is what u need to play the alpha, go activate that code in steam).
if you can't get into a server, join the club. took me 8 or 9 tries and when i finally got into one, it was mad laggy (people were saying it was cuz mad people were tryin to connect at once)

Still needs quite a bit of ironing out.
And I managed to get a bot to leave the map and wander in darkness!

I like the new skulk though. Its mouth looks cool form the inside. Its leap and bite sound much more scary than NS1.
Wait a few patches.

you knew what you were in for and you knew what (not) to expect.
No one is intitled to whine
End of.
If you have a solution, report it through the proper medium and wait patiently for a solution
thank you please

if you want to get together some time and play ns2, alien swarm - what ever the hell else we both may have.
if not, thats cool too, don't feel like you're obligated to now :P
I added Cyanide like, 2 weeks ago and I don't think we've even spoken in steam yet. XD
