Closed alpha asked questions

Closed Alpha Very Frequently asked questions

This article is made for those, who have questions about CA. This article is also intended as continuation of CA topic on VVFAQ

A lot of people, both newbies and older ones still have some things unclear. I decided to answer a lot of questions here and I hope that it won't be ignored.

Q&A

How do I sign up the CA access?

People to undergo CA testing are hand-picked. In other words, you can't register and must be chosen.
To get chosen:

1. Fill this survey
2. Be active
3. Contribute to community

How many people start the closed alpha?

105 people got their keys and now play the game.

How often will players' amount increase?

Lauri said: "we will give more invites next week(11.05-17.05)". That means that there will be a lot of waves and they will start often. If you didn't got in first way, it doesn't mean that you still don't have the key at your mail box.

How do I know that I am invited?

If you completed the one of the two surveys that was posted(about closed alpha), FrozenByte will have your E-mail address. That means that you should check your mail box. Don't forget to cycle between your accounts if you have multiple.

Can I trade my key?

Not really. Someone think that keys are bound to SteamID owner. Btw, steamID is asked in survey, so that might be close to the truth.

Can I lose my access?

Yes. To prevent that, don't break an embargo.

Can I say that I have access?

Yes, now you can. You can aalso stream

What if I made a typo when filling in my e-mail address?

FB will contact you through Discord direct message.

Will my progress be saved after CA end/Will world get wiped?

Depends on world's state.

What will I get at EA after CA?

Nothing(as far as we know).

How big will next wave be?

It'll be as big as first one +/- 10 players.

Will I get EA for free after CA?

Not. At. All.
You played CA? Then, please, buy EA.
