i got the closed beta invite today and downloaded the game. the servers are up for 2 hours starting at 10pm EST. i looked forward to it, then bam! for some reason i have to redownload the whole 4 gigs. that leaves me about 20 minutes of playtime to give feedback or bug reports. how is this productive?
edit: download slowed half speed so I probably won't even be able to try it out tonight. I'm assuming this is a technical problem that will be sorted out but was really looking forward to giving feedback for this game.

wow ok so I just tried to play again today. now this is probably mostly my fault, but apparently the servers were up from 7-9 EST today instead of 10-12 EST like last time.
The download went smooth, but it's past 10 EST right now and therefore I can't play yet again.
Having servers open for 2 hours on select days within random hours makes it very hard to actually play. And believe me I have nothing else to do but play games. I can't imagine how hard it is for people who actually have a job or family or responsibilities.
But i will just let this slide... it is still very early stages of the game but they make it so very difficult to give feedback.
Keyword is beta. Expect the unexpected
The Deep Web is sca-ry.
Maybe they are testing their download server capacity?
I'm not in the beta, so I don't know about this beta, but isn't information that OP is posting normally under NDA?
I do not believe I am breaking NDA. Just complaining about the lack of game time available to actually play.
