I know it's probably a really obvious and stupid question, but if I still have the previous NXT beta client installed, will I need to uninstall it and install the new one separately, or will the old launcher update or work or something? It says we'll be able to install the client from the18th but doesn't seem to say if you have to replace the old one or not if you were in both, and I had a couple of issues getting it to install properly last time.

I don't understand fancy stuff, I just push buttons - :)

Reported a load of bugs during the first beta and still no title :| . Also I would've thought Jagex would have at least had the decency to open up the beta access to a wider range of players this time around.


Same here... No title at all.

It really takes more than just the amount of issues reported. You need to provide clear feedback on the beta both in reports and on the forums. Being the first to report a new issue with clear reproduction steps helps for major issues, not just every minor issue you come across.

It should be awarded the same way as it was with the 2015 Combat Beta where the team that is associated with NXT will select a player each based off of bug reports, feedback and quality of reports. Out of those brought forth, only a handful will be granted the title.

Just to remind people, it was over a month after the 2015 Combat Beta was released before titles were awarded. Honestly I don't see them giving more than the amount that was done in 2015, just 27 to 32 people total gained it.

Also I can't wait for this upcoming event to test NXT again. So much fun to be had soon.


interesting point to think about: only 1 player was awarded the title during the first beta weekend. I happened to read the thread he posted and throughout the weekend he managed to test over half(!) of the quests in the game and provide explicit details of what went wrong were.

If only 1 person got the title it would be safe to assume that they're really strict about choosing who gets it.

It would be nice if I could download the NXT client and it would stop saying I am not eligible, or does it say that for everyone until the beta opens again.

I uninstalled the NXT client from last time after getting an inbox message on this account saying I was eligible, but on both accounts which should be eligible the page says I am not eligible at this time.
Nothing interesting happens.

So, I got a message saying I am eligible for this beta but when i go to the link provided in the message to download the client it says "Sorry, you are not eligible to play the closed beta right now.". I'm on Linux, is there a beta client for linux? or is it because the client is not yet available for download?
