You may have seen this but here's an update regarding upcoming playtests:
"Hey all!
Thanks for your feedback over the past 24 hours of testing. We've adjusted the method and rules for selecting players for future playtests.
The development team has reached out to Steam and our online partners to increase the number of servers available for future testing periods. Starting from the second round of playtests next week, all players who have pre-purchased the game on Steam will automatically receive playtest access. In addition, Steam will continue to select random players who signed up to grant playtest access as well."
