  1. To get into the Beta server:
    1. Start your live launchpad
    2. In the top-left corner, click VERSION
    3. In the drop-down choose BETA then hit APPLY
    4. Once the download completes press PLAY

  2. Did they reuse the mount from TOV beta? Cause it looks just like the one I got from that?

    Just curious, might beta test anyway but I won’t bother with the mount if it’s one I already did…

  3. There used to be a /guild_betacopy command (uncertain of exact command) the guildleader could use.
    Last time i heard it was tried was before ToV was released, may still exist though.

  4. It looks like the exact same reward as from ToV beta. Someone on the beta server said you even get the AA xp potion, too. Haven’t finished it yet to verify, but I did just claim the ToV reward I had on live left just in case they don’t stack 😉

  5. FYI – not sure if this was a one-off case or if others have it as well. I did not have the immediate crashing when launching Beta (though I have had that in the past). What I did have was a blank black screen and the music. I followed the steps for the crashing issue of copying the D3 .DLLs files and that did seem to correct it.

    Just wanted to pass it along that the crashing issue might have matured to a “hanging” issue now.

  6. 250 kill still not updating for me. I’ve tried a variety of locations, chrono-levels and toons. Next thing to try is to delete these copies and /beta again. Is anyone else seeing this?

    1. I tried fresh copies nothing works I got to 100 before the server crashed this morning. I tried several different characters and it is broken. Sitting at 100/250 ugg

  7. The achievement is only working overland, it does not update in weekly/solo/advanced solo zones. The problem is beta crashed several times this morning, currently locked still need 150 kills lol

    1. I did the achievement the other day and found that at first it didn’t count up any kills seemingly anywhere, I zoned into the condemned catacombs in Antonica and still no updates but as soon as I zoned out all the mobs even though they were gray counted and as its virtually a non stop goblin fest on the island where the entrance to condemned catacombs is I got the update in about 12 minutes 🙂

      1. Sunday 2:12pm PST

        Several hundred kills later, count not updating.
        – Zone in, zone out.
        – Different lands.
        – Grouped, not grouped.
        – Kill KOS mobs, kill non-agro mobs.
        – Kill overland mobs, kill instanced mobs.
        – Bug report sent, but report not sent.

        Basically someone’s made promises they won’t keep to string people along, or there was a limited number of rewards available and they won’t tell you.

        Or It Is Broken.
