I get giving permission to view the beta forums but why can anyone post there? It will cause clutter, and you won't know who is actually speaking from experience rather than just watching others.
Well I was logged out, and unless you're logged in with your forum account; you can't even see the "Bannerlord Beta" section. So if the only people posting there are people that have forum accounts, then it probably won't be too bad. If they're interested enough in the game to make a forum account, then the significant majority of their opinions/posts aren't going to be total garbage.

I believ many people that don't ever use this forum applied to the beta....
Well as an example: one of the discord servers that holds a small section of the Australian community, only 6 out of 90 bothered to post in that thread, and with the exception of a few who didn't bother to sign up because they knew they weren't going to get anything; they probably all signed up. And I know all of my real life friends, who were casual warband players (10 of them) all signed up for the beta, and none of them have forum accounts. And that's only the people I know (and most of them are hardcore players), so it's not even a single percent of people that signed up for the beta have an account, by reasonable estimation.

No need to be upset over something you can’t control. Everyone here wants to play, but remember that the goal of beta is testing Bannerlord under different hardware and patch scenarios. It’s not a demo or EA. Tough luck if your setup isn’t what they are testing at the moment, but then again most of our setups aren’t either.
Well considering they handed out 5000 keys to rando passerbys at Gamescom, I wouldn't say that PC performance or hardware questions are the only criteria for who gets access and who doesn't. It's entirely understandable why people waiting, some of them for almost half of their life, for something they are really interested in and not getting it, are upset. Especially when other people
do have access. Being mad is a rational response, even if it is somewhat unreasonable.

Couple of weeks here and there never hurt anyone.

There are plenty of people who played thousands of hours, they won't just invite those who played the most. Don't feel disheartened, more keys will be sent out in waves over time.
Weeks? Sure. But do we have any definitive timeframes for access? What if it's months? Seasons? What if most people won't get access until Early Access? We don't know how many people signed up and what percentage of those people are slated for access during the next 6 months. With no information (which of course TaleWorlds is under no obligations to share), that people are a bit annoyed, skeptical, and wary (given the last 3 years), is totally reasonable. Also in all my life, I've never seen anyone being told to "calm down" do anything except make them more upset
. Saying "Just be patient" to someone who has been waiting for 7 years probably isn't having the desired effect here, guys.
