They decided that only those patient enough to keep a spare slot could try the new professions?
No idea, would have been nice to get a temp account to play with them though.
Where are the extra slots?

Yeah, this blows.

They didn't have an extra slot for FPE, why should they now? Although they should have keys for this...o well.
unmatchedfury
who the hell is dumb enough not to keep a slot open for pvp builds..
Naomi Heartily
People who expected purchasable slots by now...?
I hope we get them by at LEAST tomorrow..

you are able to get a lvl 20 cahractor in 1-2 days, so full completed with all missions you can't bear to delete it?
the slots only came out a 1-2 days ago..

As I recall there weren't any slots for the PvP weekend, only the PvE one. Been a while so perhaps I'm wrong. Don't care about PvP so this doesn't bother me in the least.
Lady Lozza
There were no slots for the pvp weekend, there were no slots for the pve weekend. What happened on BOTH occassions was the ability to make a guest account. They have not offered that this time, perhaps thinking that the purchasable slots would be out by now.
Former Ruling
Whoever doesn't keep a PvP slot open for rerolling PvP characters obviously doesnt....PvP so this weekend is useless for them anyway...
Lady Lozza
Or, has one pve character they can roll into nearly anything, like me. My monk has all the skills to play the most common pvp builds, and a number of uncommon ones too. My ele ALSO has the skills necessary for playing a wide range of pvp rolls, as does my mesmer. Why don't I have a pvp slot? Because I don't normally use it!
actionjack
I cann't try out the new class since my slot is full too...
Anyone want to sign a Partition for extra slot during the weekend?

Unsure how possible is it, but I am one of those people who have all the slot filled, who cann't try the new proff...
So here is a petition to ask A.net to give us one free character slot during the weekend. Please support.

so there is no way to try the characters, if like me you have 6 slots taken up and you don't want to delete one
The Ice Master
The event is free anyway, its not like it cost you anything. Them messing up the store only cost them, so don't get upset. You pay nothing to participate in this beta.
Exoudeous
signing partitions do nothing, partitions are used to block things of, maybe a petition. those are used to protest.
even then its not gunna happen its a 2 day event thats already started. They have never let you get free slots for any past Free preview event so I dont think theyd start now.
Im pretty sure they had it planned out so that you would have been able to buy slots before the event, but they haven’t gotten that fixed yet.

Your not missing too much in 3 days, just a short craze while it lasts.
TadaceAce
The fact that they don't have char slots up for purchase this weekend is just flat out stupid on their part. They are gonna lose a lotta money because of that fact.
Lady Lozza
What's actually grating about the store is that they haven't told us what is wrong yet. If it is a big fix, and we have to find some OTHER way of doing things, I'd really like to know that. At the moment I'm just hanging out hoping they will have it fixed soon. For all I know I could spend the whole weekend waiting for a fix that isn't going to be out until next week. If this is the case it would be easier to find a friend who is playing this weekend and crash at their place for a night.
Lady Lozza
Kuja, certainly it is short, but that doesn't mean that we don't want to try. Furthermore, the more people who test, the better and more comprehensive the results.

I myself, am dissapointed that guest accounts or anything, really, were not offered for us to test and check out the dervish and the paragon for the weekend.
I'll be damned if I am deleting one of my long time and perfect pve characters for a 3 day fling.

If it can't handle lots of users at this point in time, that is a sure sign that it won't be out this weekend. In fact I imagine they will not release it till the weekend is well and truly done, just to be on the safe side. Further to that they will probably release it at a non-peak time so they can fix any small bugs before traffic really heats up.
So now the question is to go to a friend's place, or get my friends to come to my flat... *forsees a weekend long party...*

If you have one of the accounts from the factions previews, it still works for this event.
Samuel Dravis
I want to sign that petition. Seriously, I'm not going to delete on of my characters and no, I in general don't give a flip about PvP beyond what my PvE characters can do (which is pretty much everything, and they have better looking armor to boot). It's pretty stupid how I can't even change my secondary to one of the new classes. Kinda makes me annoyed. It's interesting how Anet seems to want to exclude some of their more dedicated players..

i used my free slot to unlock ele faction stuff. heard about the buyable slots and kept her. i think arenanet was (like me) hoping for those slots to be available before tonight.
they're still working on the store and it might be out tomorrow for all we know. got all weekend to die miserably in ra from being in noob d and p groups so relax for now. if you don't get the chance to try it out now, just read all the forum posts about the new professions and learn that way.
the dervish animations are awesome btw.

Personally I use two RP and one PvP character in my slots standard, and the moment I am done with a new PvP character after trying it a bit, it tends to get deleted, so I have half of my slots open all of the time.
That having been said, I do not expect anyone to have to delete a character to try out the new professions, if you can be bothered to level most of your slots to 20 and get them to be viable characters, and fill excess slots with PvP characters that have a legacy, I don't see why that is a bad thing at all, you practically deserve an extra slot at least.
Plus I wish they would have unlocked all Dervish and Paragon skills for the duration of the weekend.

I wonder what that three legged scumbag is dawdling at the moment? Or more precisely why is she keeping so hushhush about this? Probably getting herself blasted on that German beer. Have one me you good folks at Anet and choke on it!
Queen Undertaker
yes I have sent a message to Anet and they told me to look on the sites, Im sorry they are the ones to make slots available. the Beata in general is for them and thier testing not a plus or added gift for us. yes we get to see content and new classes but mainly a Beta is for there testing and working on new bugs.
For the Factions weekends they gave usa clients a code, on GW main site, to load and create a new account. and folks over seas got a diffrent code. They didnt give us a code, so unless you deleate one of your toons, all 6 of mine are lvl 20 and all are farmers or group players, I dont play PvP I like to play the GAME.
But for them to screw up the store the day before, is just one more thing, yes you can NOW play with a slot that you purchase for the free weekend for 10.00 but that feature dont even work, well as of this morning.
Not looking good for there beta if they only have a few 1,000 playing it instead of 50,000 +, but hey, they KNOW what they are doing, or so we HOPE hehe.

I was very disapointed that the slots were postponed. I have been saving weapons, materials and runes for a couple of weeks now to make a necromancer.
I think it would be a good idea if they would release the store in the middle of the night. Like 6.00 A.M. GMT or something. At that time it's still pretty late(may not be late to some people....whatever) in America too so they probably won't have a huge flow of people trying to get into the store at the same time. I'm still really looking forward to the character slots and I hope they will reach us soon.

If you set up an account for the last FPE you can still use that for this weekend. I'm doing it right now. works fine but you have no access to factions professions.
Stockholm
Here is an Idea
Take one of your lvl20's and test the new classes as secondary, that way you don't have to delete.

Like I posted, you can use the old Factions PvP trial account if you still have it, and some say you can still make an account with them. Haven't tried, but it works on my old Factions PvPFPE account and my old PvEFPE account.
You get all Dervish and Paragon skills, 4/6 templates (2 D, 2 P (1 P, 1 R/P), wonder why other 2 are missing), all Core skills for the 6 original professions but 0 Sin or Rit skills.
So yeah, would have been nice to give keys again, but from the looks of the things (2 missing templates), Anet seems to have planned this a bit.

It has been posted that FPE-keys are functional once again. I've tested this and can confirm that it is indeed true. Props to the guys who first noticed this.
edit- someone got there first. You're a decent lad I give you that.
