For any of you who are in the beta, please note that it may take up to 24 hours from when you signed up for the entitlement to take effect. If nothing's happened yet, don't worry. Check back in a little bit and it should be sorted.
will those of us that are successful in our beta application get a email notification like we did for the keep beta ?
The patch was not released 4 months ago, so what you're saying doesn't make sense. This is not a beta test of DA:I, you're just claiming that it is... presumably to give yourself an excuse for raging about it?
There is nothing to defend. Closed beta testing of unreleased software is an accepted and voluntary practice.
except this software was released 4 months ago nice try to defend Bioware but like most apologists you failed miserably

Did you not understand, that theyre adding in "features", that should have been, and were presumed to be in the game front the get?
"In efforts to support different playstyles, we’ve also included an auto-attack key for single player. We’re also including the option to adjust the size of subtitles, and added a shader quality setting to the graphics options, giving players more versatility when running Inquisition.
In Skyhold, we’re adding party storage to the Undercroft—a new feature that many players asked for and we’re happy to finally add. And for those looking to spice up their look, we’ve added an item tinter that lets players use crafting materials to change the color of armor."
Anything here appear to be missing? Something a game released in 2014, and most of which was in all the previous DA games? This is all standard fare...
Your being toldyour getting new shiny pretties, and its all rubbish.. I thought i bought this in the beginning.. Sorry if i missed the small print on the package that stated auto attack was no longer an option.. Storage, which we realized was needed in DA:O, so we later DLC'd in, kept for DA2, but we decided against in Inquisition.. Dye... You can already do this after you reach Skyhold, with IronBarks, and Dragon Fangs, etc..
Schematics... I didnt realize it required beta testing.. Since EA calls "DLC" armor packs.. The Black Emporium, and character changes.. Again, nothing new here.. Call it like you see it.. Theyre forcing crap, on a crap engine.. And have stated they will continue to do so in the future.. Im not gonna sit here, and say "thank you" for things that should have been in the release.. Further evidence of its rushed release, imo!
Edit: And lets not forget, that while all this is going on, we wont be seeing much in terms of those fixes the apologists keep swearing are coming, because BW said so.. Just this morning alone, i had 3 fatal errors, resulting in my PC shutting down entirely.. All of which occurred during a cutscene, or War Table mission.. Still getting Directx errors.. Ive taken 3 different sets of screenshots, of my tanks somehow appearing off map, and being stuck there, resulting in my current auto saves being over written with an unplayable map.. Infinite falling loops through floors.. Skills, and passives still dont completely6 work.. Obviously there m+kb issues are being put on the backburner, along with tactical cemera problems on PC.. All those problems in this thread, are going to be set aside, while we roll out "new" content... We're told that BW is down to skeleton crew size, right? So... How will fixes happen, when we have a beta program to deal with....
There will be things in there that have not been mentioned. And we need to test all of it. Does the storage let you store thing it shouldn't like schematics, requisition recipes, etc... and, if so, does the game act like they are still in your inventory, dose it close the requisition, break it? Will it come back out of the storage.
Does the mirror work properly? Does the game crash if you spend too long using the mirror. Can you change things you should not be able to change like gender and race?
Does ever item you can get there work properly in game? Can you fall through floors or walls? Glitch through them? Can yo find a way to dupe items, dupe your Inquisitor, blend hairstyles, do you take falling damage or not in there? What happens if you attack, grappling chain, or use other abilities on NPCs and objects in there?
And that's just a few of the things I can think of to test w/o even seeing the patch yet.
I hope we can dupe Cassandra. It doesn't matter how much Cassandra you get. It's never enough.
Hmph. Still nothing about the beta. It was 24 hours ago. It would be really nice to know if I got in or not.

Not to sound condescending, its not my intention.. But literally everything you mentioned here that could glitch in the Beta, I have experienced live, in the last 24hrs alone(what is live currently, ofcourse.. Not storage, or character recreation) and some.. I was actually considering posting some of my screen shots of being stuck above, and later below, maps.. Getting stuck on an infinite fall loop in that dungeon in Hinterlands, where Blackwall insisted on Charging over the ledge..Repeatedly...Ofcourse these all resulted in auto saves, saving at the glitch point..My camera becoming unhinged, and allowing my character to walk away, with no camera to follow.. Abilities, and passives that still arent working...
My concern is, that this beta will serve as a distraction.. That the problems we have more than 500pages depicting, will be put on back burner, because "ooo, new content".. And i use the term sparingly,"content"... We've already waited four months.. We keep being told fixes are coming, but with no ETA... Here agin m+kb couldnt make the cut, but heres a new feature" to shut you up.. I dont need new features.. I need my g ame to pl ay, without catastrophic failure! Directx errors... etc.. This 2nd character ive started, is actually handling worse than my original 178hr campaign, and im only 35hrs in!

What is wrong is that there is a beta for new "content" when everything in this thread is ignored. Yeah, i know, The famous autoattack button will arrive... I think that is setting people up.
will people be notified if they have been accepted or do we just have to keep trying the link and see if it works?
If you successfully applied yesterday (so you clicked through, accepted the NDA, and got the thank you message) then you should be part of the program. The entitlements may take a little while to propagate, so checking back every few hours would be advised. If you are still being told you can't access the forums, you can try logging out and logging in again, clearing your cache, and then restarting your browser.
Anybody who thinks that this game was released without internal testing is, well, pretty dumb. The issue with only using internal testing is that it will never find 100% of the problems because of the limited number of testers and the uniformity of the rigs used for testing. You only need to read through these forums to find people with no issues at all right the way up to people who can't run the game at all. This is because of the wide variety of PC specs 'in the wild' - it is simply not possible to test every single conceivable setup.
There has actually been some indication that QA did pick up some issues that people have complained about but they just weren't allocated as a priority to fix before launch by the management.

Yay I'm in
I'm in too. Great, just when my day needs to end.... 
See you in 17 hours, I have the night and my workday to pass before I can continue...

**edit**
Just got in. Waiting game it was. please disregard 
Hello Conal
I signed up at around 4pm pst yesterday, accepted nda, got the thank you message. I am still unable to view that forum you linked in your patch 5 beta announcement post. I have tried the suggestions you mentioned in your quote above but no dice. Is this still just a matter of waiting it out for now?

Yep, it may still take a little bit more time. We'll update you here and through Twitter once everyone's entitlements should have taken effect. If after that point restarting origin, logging out and in again, clearing your cache, and restarting your browser don't work, let me know.
Also, please be aware that your beta entitlement is attached to the Origin account you were using when you signed the NDA. If you have a different account on the forum to that Origin account, it will not be entitled. You will need to use the Origin account you signed up with for the forums.
I'm in too. Great, just when my day needs to end....
Download at 1%, going to bed now, working tomorrow, then a big smile (and some critical eyes)
I'm in aswell, sadly though my internet is rather bad so it'll probably be atleast two days before my download will complete, hopefully I'll be spending some quality time of the weekend to test and provide constructive feedback
Downloading now. At this rate, should be done in 10 minutes. Nice.
If you have a slow connection or, limited bandwidth and, are a beta tester, do the advanced install, it isn't difficult, just read and follow directions. I have to do that due to being on a satellite ISP.
The Beta just appeared in Origin. Downloading. No email, just the beta... I'll start it tomorrow morning after my better half goes to work.. I'm retired!
just 475 hours in so far
If you successfully joined the beta you can now download the beta via origin and access the private forum.
Looks like I'm in.
Be back later.
