If you are new to the beta, make sure you have the 'Show pre-release versions' in Impulse turned on, or Elemental will not show up:

Any word on its size?  I'd just like to know if I should kick it off when I get home or can wait.

Very cool. I pre-ordered a few days ago. Did you get a serial in email or something? I am now frantically checking mine. :)

Total size looks like 0.99 GB (though I thought it said it was bigger before I started downloading).  I don't know how big it is if you already had 1Z, though; I had been holding off installing when I got my computer back because I knew Beta 2 was soon. ;)

 

EDIT: ah, ninja posts; I guess it's 378.84mb, then

If I remember correctly, even though we haven't been seeing it, some content was already present, but disabled.  So the new stuff doesn't need all that much space.

 

'Course I'm just guessing - I could be way wrong. :p

Seems like 1.31 Gb for full download.

That's more like what I was expecting, I'm guessing the 300MB download is the patch for 1z?

So everyone knows, I'm currently working on the last of the pre-order charges in the current batch.  Once that's done, the game will go on "live pre-order" which will let paypal users order the game and get immediate access to the beta.  We usually leave our games in this "live pre-order" state for a week or two.
