Finally got another link. Guess what, it doesn't work either. Good job WotC.

Hopefully, once you eventually get the download, your actual platest feedback to WotC is not similar to this reaction. Just remember if you dont like wht you read/play, the best course is constructive criticism.

Ever use Google?

Seriously people?
Just google "dnd next beta playtest torrent"

You'll find what you are looking for in the second link.

How are any of you surprised?

Thought I'd give it a try. Logging in with my account: no passwords work, and I can't change it without calling Customer Service. Tried creating new account, but the User Agreement window does not show up so I can't check the box to continue. Oh well, at least I had some beers while trying!!

Anyone actually get it? I just want to read it, not give feedback, just have some background to reference all the nerdrage.

[MENTION=6678515]thegrognard[/MENTION], I was in the same boat and called Customer Support's 800 number. Took me about 5-10 minutes to get through, answer some security questions and get my password reset.

How typical!

How typical of WOTC to screw the pooch with crappy downloads! Wait..how many promises did they make about DDI & Gametable? Wait, are we sensing a trend of "WOTC is using steam-powered technology"?

I think I'll go play read the Inner Sea World Guide that I dloaded from Paizo...without any problems.

What a pathetic joke...

Got it

Well I finally got through to download the files. I have read the Playing rules and the DM rules and it seems to play alot like castles & crusades. I am playing on using it on Tuesday night to try it out.

(I had to reload the link in the email about 50 times to get it to work.)

Just walk away and take a few deep breaths.

Well it's now downloading for me.... hey, I just checked, it's still the 24th...RAWR!!!!! They said they'd give me the rules on the 24th......... and it's the 24th but I had too wait until later in the day and not at midnight when I wanted it(even though midnight my time is still the 23rd in PST)...... RAWR!!!!

The internetz is funny.... the WotC boards are way, way more entertaining though...... they're even providing direct links to torrent sites over there.... good times

Wow ... You've got anger at Steam, Wizards, DDI, Gametable, TSR, Hasbro, People, Kobolds, Shrimp, Mango Salsa and I think Spinach all rolled up in that relatively short rant/comment. Nice.

If you were already in that "hate it" category for NEXT, why did you take the time to come out to a forum about it and post this? Your indifference needs more indifference.

We're all excited, don't fizzle our sizzle!
