Mine has a name, but the icon is blank (well, a purple xbox logo box-purple is my "profile color")
edit: but it's installing as a "game" for me

I also got my key. Lets do this! I've watched my friend play this, but this is the first time I've dived into. Looks fun.

Mine shows the proper thumbnail in Ready to install and it's the same size. Installing as a game.
I'm sure it'll be fine. Art didn't pop up for me until it just finished installing.

Still waiting on my code...don't think I made it 
Your game started installing on the app tab as well?
I have the worst luck for stuff like this... i'm sweating here

I'd be really surprised if it somehow installed as the wrong type of application. I'm sure it's simply more an issue of the UI being glitched or something. Size is correct, I bet it works itself out after the download is done.
No, it was in games as it installed but really, what's the worst that could happen? I'd think that if it installed incorrectly, it'd still remain in your ready to install list and you could just try again. I'd just let it go and see what happens when it finishes for now.

Yup, got mine few minutes ago as well. Gonna install soon as I get home.
GT is in my sig...(I think?) Add me (that goes to everyone). Let's play!

I never signed an NDA.
It plays smooth. The UI is a little clunky moving around from personal inventory to stash and the gems seem to auto-level instead of you choosing to do so. Seems to a solid 60fps through the first couple areas. Very impressed.
Oh and so far targeting doesn't seem to be an issue. I'm using Magma Orb and the game seems to place the orb appropriately after the enemy is targeted (outlined in red).
I do see a possible issue with trying to sift through drops though, not sure how easy that will be in a sea of loot later on.

Huh. I just realized that I had a code too! I redeemed it!
But my Xbox Live is expired! So far B/S/T GAF hasn't had anyone offer some Gold membership codes for cheap.

You still see people in the hub areas without Live, just can't play with them. Just fyi.

I'm still downloading the game, but do we know if there is local co-op? I am quite fond of the local co-op that was introduced in Marvel Heroes Omega. I'd love to see something similar here too.

Got my code, signed up when topic went up here
Pretty sure they said no local co-op at launch, but it's something they wanna do. I forget where I heard it tho.

One question, will the chars carry over to the final version? Or after the beta there will be a reset?
On Reddit, the dev said they will do a wipe at launch.

Bummer. Guess I'll try anyway to see if there's any feedback I can give, but I wish we could keep it.

From what I remember, the PC version was very much centered around trading with others. Are they going to have closed servers or alter the drop system?
Liked it so far, controls pretty good. I'll goof around more tomorrow
People said to plan in advance your build because respecs are kinda limited and theres no full respec option. Welp too late. Gonna use the beta do to a stupid build based on intuition then, its going to reset anyway

Wow, really impressed with the controls. They completely nailed it, even the inventory management is awesome.

I hope it's not too late to get a key. I saw this thread floating around, had no clue it was Xbox related.

Does Xbox version have any loot filters I wonder? On PC version it's standard to set up a loot filter to filter out all the junk that drops, so that only relevant/good items for you are shown.
Learning what you should pick up and what you shouldn't is a skill in of itself.

I probably already know the answer to this but does anyone know if they'll be wiping the servers before launch?
I mainly just want to keep the name of my character the most.

Lead developer Chris said there will be a wipe at launch.

Guess I'll barely touch this beta then. Games like this are all about character progression to me.
Hope the launch isn't too far away.
