Upcoming PBE application approvals

RiotRiot Mr Sope··43 votes·61,327 views

Summoners,

The Public Beta Environment (PBE) continues to be a great place for players to work with Riot by providing content feedback and identifying critical bugs. In order to maintain a steady flow of these contributions, in the coming weeks we'll be approving a large number of preexisting applications (subject to Player Behavior review). If you've applied previously, keep an eye out for an approval email heading your way.

On a long-term note, we're looking to make good on some of our past ideas and implement various improvements to the PBE. A robust tester population is essential for thorough coverage, so we'll keep an eye on the PBE's numbers after the coming approval wave and take additional measures if necessary. Ensuring a positive testing environment is another priority, so expect more Player Behavior measures down the line.

Thanks for contributing to the PBE!

I don't know if there were any pruning of old applications, but it wouldn't hurt to apply again for possible future approvals that may happen.

For this round, I've pulled up all the applications I could find in our database.

I applied a long time ago but trying to re-apply just says me that i've already applied and should wait a response.

RiotRiot Mr Sope5 votes

If you're getting that response, than your account will be among those that are evaluated for possible approval.

Hi, my client launcher gets to 88% and then it stops downloading. Any reason why that would be?

Zuwurudo1 votes

It's doing this for me too. It'll stop on around 465 MB left and I'll have to close out and start all over again, otherwise it'll just be sitting at 0 KBps. This is my first time taking part in the PBE, and it's not exactly a good first impression...

DreadJoker992 votes

Just let it sit there it's a visual glitch it did the samething for me hope it helps

Is it just me or does the pbe community seem WAY BETTER than the reg league community PBE FTW!

Cure Dreamless3 votes

I downloaded the client but it's stuck at 84% updating. Been waiting for over an hour and nothing is happening :(

RiotRiot Mr Sope2 votes

For many of you who are entering the PBE for the first time, you may want to visit the PBE Community boards to get a quick guide on how to effectively provide feedback and bugs. Happy testing!!

NightEfx2 votes

It does suck. I applied over a year ago and have applied constantly but never have been accepted. You know I saw someone who barely plays League get accepted and wanted to just give up.

GtGW2 votes

On a side note - I am an existing member of the PBE and have noticed a critical bug with some of my runes, where they have an x amount above 9 in a set.

If its possible, can something be done to correct this and re-fund IP back into the account so I can obtain the runes I intended to test/run on the PBE?

unranked and accepted

Will this affect any player who already has a PBE account? Or is it just a new influx of people?

RiotRiot Mr Sope3 votes

This current approval wave will review players that have previously applied and won't be affecting existing accounts.

NinjaToad991 votes

So I checked on a whim, and turns out I got accepted at some point but didn't get an email (I checked and it has the right email address). So will I still be able to do PBE goodness or no?

RiotRiot Mr Sope4 votes

If you're approval process shows as approved, the email may have gotten spam filtered by you or your service provider. Either way, Welcome!!

I have a question for you. I went to the PBE signup page and apparently I got accepted, but.... I never got an e-mail notification of approval, or at least never saw one. Do you think you can see if I signed up for PBE with a yahoo e-mail?? If you can check for [email protected]

Cause that's the e-mail I originally made this account with, but I've changed it to gmail after losing access to my yahoo account. My yahoo e-mail account still exists, but I don't have access to it. So I'm not sure if I tried signing up for PBE with my yahoo account (where the approval notification would be), or with my gmail account (where there is no approval notification, not even in my spam folder). Both e-mails have t7allen on it.

So do you think you could check for that e-mail?? Cause I was wondering what day I had finally got accepted.

stokastic3 votes

Happened to me too. I was approved but got no email. Using 'forgot username' successfully sent an email to the correct account, and nothing went to my spam/junk folder.

ChimeiTekinaNasu3 votes

Update: I hadn't gotten to doing that yet, but I just now got an e-mail sent to my gmail account saying I got approved. lol. So I guess people are approved first, then get their e-mails.

Lunarian Llama1 votes

How do I test? like i made my account and everything does it just pop up in my league client ??????? im new lol please

Mistress Madoka2 votes

you download a Zip folder with Essentially a Seperate Launcher in it. Extract is somewhere and Open either "lol_launcher.exe" or "LOL_launcher_admin.exe"

You MAY recieve an error message first, if so, just Close it and Try again.

Now wait for it to download.

NightEfx1 votes

I've applied for over a year and haven't/won't get approved. I don't understand why but I mean I guess there are reasons.

Tsunday2 votes

They don't remove applications normally so applying multiple times shouldn't do anything.

vipervenom2251 votes

Do you have to be gold or higher to get accepted onto the PBE? Never known anyone in silver or bronze to get accepted.

IceKingChernobog1 votes

the only requirement is for you not to be toxic, also im in silver and i got accepted

vipervenom2252 votes

Ok thanks, im not toxic and in silver so hopefully i get accepted. Would love to help out! :D Braum

I always check the PBE website just in case, but whenever I go back, It shows the button "I Want To Help" even though I've already applied. Does this mean I have to click that button again every time I see it like that?

jortgod1 votes

I posted my application around six months ago, any word on whether or not it's even been looked at?

Thomas Kennch1 votes

Earlier today I checked on my friends phone at school, and it said that I was accepted. I came home later that day excited to download and play. But as I went to do so I was no longer able to. Anyone know what might have happened?

ralsei1 votes

Are there penalties for signing up multiple times? Does it even do anything? I've been habitually signing up every week for awhile now lol

Yatsufuså1 votes

Yeah I applied a year ago and I'm still getting this. http://i.imgur.com/vYkOXIC.png

Hopefully I get accepted this time. I can all roles so, if that helps, then woohoo xD

Abhinav1 votes

Hi! was wondering what happening with my application, i applied about 8 months ago and got no response :( but my friends applied only 2-3 months ago and both got accepted, im gold and they are both bronze , was wondering if that had anything to do with being accepted, ty

Xorthis1 votes

I was in the PBE but due to real life commitments I had to take a year's hiatus. Turns out I was removed from access and now I can no longer join the fun... I applied about a year ago but am still awaiting approval. Any chance I can get back into this without queuing again as I was previously an active tester?
