Ah the good ole non-answer to an honest question from a fan of the company. Refreshing.

It wasn’t an honest question though. It was an insult phrased as a question :). You asked what we expected, my answer is we expected to get feedback from a technical test and that’s what we are focused on.
This is an honest question. What did you expect by making the alpha full of just random people from around the world? That they weren't going to discuss the game with others online? I mean, it's kind of impossible to suppress something like that. It's understandable that you guys would crack down on streamers or people who posted videos of the alpha gameplay but I hope you weren't naive enough to think people weren't going to answer questions about it publicly and discuss their experience openly in forums like this.
We expected to run a technical test, which we did :)

I think you confused this thread . This was for a different alpha that was internal only - I thought you had feedback on the thread. That’s why I said it was a pretty old thread :)
You posted feedback about the External Closed Alpha (ECA) - you are actually violating the NDA so I would recommend removing your post, in sure the mods will be here shortly :)
Meant no offense. I only signed up for Sat morning because for some reason I thought you were supposed to pick just one but I was able to play in both today, only tried because the email said that.
You can play in all the sessions, the session tracking is more meant for us so we have an idea about who is planning on playing in which sessions. 😊
I wish I came up with this. Should get you the correct “B” :)
Can I post criticism in this thread, or is there a more appropriate place for it.
Go for it. This is a pretty old thread now though :)
Will the mouse+keyboard controls be tweaked in future builds? Right now flight is a nightmare and the aiming just feels weird. I don't know if it's mouse acceleration combined with the different X-Y sensitivities or if it's emulating a controller or what, but they're really, really rough in it's current state. Not quite unplayable, but pretty close.
Yes, the KB+M controls are still being tuned.
The mouse controls feels rather weird at the moment. The vertical vs horizontal sensitivity is way off for me.
Other than that I'm liking it so far.
The ideal control type for this alpha build is a controller. Thanks for the feedback though!
Good afternoon! I just checked my EA Playtesting site and now it's saying no other play tests available. Does that mean I was removed from my previously accepted play test or was everything just wiped?
Hint: Just try again at the next session. You still can, technically.
Consider that to be more of an RSVP system.
Will we need to do anything on our end (client side) for the next session (update) or are these changes all server side?
Server side. Nothing on your end.
Also can't connect to forums. Hard to report stuff when there is nowhere to do so lol
Have you tried again? I know they were working on the forum traffic issue as well...

◈ Can I sign up for this?
Registration is closed at this time. There may be another technical test in the future but no solid plans at this time.
◈ Who/how many people got in?
At this time, it's not known. This alpha was originally supposed to be limited to a certain amount of people who were emailed, but one of the people who were given the link posted it on Reddit where it was subsequently picked up by the press.
◈ Did I get into the alpha?
Check your emails. Emails have been sent out to people who have been approved as well as people who have not been approved. Also, check your respective client. For example, if you're on PC, check Origin in your game library. You may have a preload waiting fo...
UPDATE #2:
The servers are going to be coming down until the next session. The team is aware that many of you were having connectivity issues at various times or throughout. We are sorry about any frustration that caused, as we know people are excited to give it a try.
The team is making some adjustments to things on that end and bringing the servers back up for the next session (which is from 12:00pm - 3:00pm PST / 3:00pm - 6:00pm EST.) As a notice, if you were accepted into this alpha, you can still try to playtest in other sessions as well.
Thank you all.
Given up also, 2hours of my weekend is has been more than enough to waste. The two other methods they tell people to look at for info need sorting!
No tweets and a 404 error on the status page. At least communicate with people during this!
I thought that was what I was doing?
The little bit of the game that I got to play was SUPER fun! I'm just excited that I was able to get my hands on it even for a minute. Like you said, this is why you do these tests! No reason to be sad, but also no reason to give up trying to get in. Now, excuse me while I press 'f' and 'enter' for the next hour.
Now that's dedication. I'm super happy you've enjoyed what you played so far.

Unfortunately, I don't think that is possible. I understand the frustration and letdown of not being able to play. I do apologize for that frustration and would totally understand if you wanted to stop trying to connect. Just letting you know the team is working on it and this is part of the reason for the stress testing.
Totally understandable :)
But anyway, i think i tried for at least 1h30min now with no sucess, i guess i contributed enough for the first session, signing off and will try again on the next.
And i mean, just a comment but it would be REALLY NICE if at least the forums are working.
I agree. ;)

First off... Huge THANK YOU to all of you who signed up to play in the Anthem closed alpha test.
We are aware of a number of you who haven’t been able to connect to the game servers or our AHQ forums and working to get you all in as fast as possible. These issues are actually the reason we do stress tests like this during Alpha. We thank you for your patience, and I would encourage you to keep trying to connect.
Thanks again.
Probably because it could be the only alpha they do
We've done other tests prior to this one, this is probably the largest one though - which makes sense given the nature of it (stress testing) 😊.
