The original HBS forums is being set aside as HBS intergrates with Paradox's website. This means that if you have a BackerKit account from before, you need to transfer your account information to Paradox's website. The explanation for the move can be found here: https://community.battletechgame.com/forums/threads/11068 Upon registering with Paradox's forums, you will automatically be sent this message: Spoiler: This is the message you will receive AFTER following the link listed above.

TinyWiking Forum and Support Manager Here's a direct link to obtain your BackerKit info (including your game key that you need for the Paradox website): https://battletech.backerkit.com/backer/share Hope that helps with making the transition.
No prob, everyone. To be honest, I only accidentally stumbled upon it myself, but I figured this was really important info to share. I'm pretty certain they sent out email notifications, but we all know how easy it is to lose track of those.
If you have not bought your copy of the game direct from Paradox, you need to click on the first link and follow the instructions to have your BackerKit migrated.
Here's another link to the Kickstarter page that pretty much tells you everything you need to know: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/webeharebrained/battletech/posts/2146640
So I was getting confused with this stuff and went through their official posts, just to clarify this, anyone who backed this in kickstarter will still get their keys from the backerkit site, not harebrained or paradox as per this statement: High Command has confirmed deployment and WE ARE GO FOR LAUNCH on April 24, 2018 at 9am PT. Backer Company will retrieve their keys from BackerKit accounts before launch to become operational. Watch for additional communication with specifics closer to that date. I did add the game to the paradox site by taking the backerkit redemption code and registering it on paradox, the whole set up is kinda confusing. But activating the game on paradox doesn't seem to mean much aside from registering you as an owner of the game.
Good call. Yeah, it's pretty confusing. I interpreted it as the game key was coming from Paradox (hence the game registry key with them). So am I to understand correctly that most people (except some higher profile streamers) do not have access to the close beta right now?
Correct. Only the few streamers have the game. And it apparently is not the final product. It is complete but still bug smashing and such going on. I don't know if they have the full campaign and nda can't show past a certain mission or their version stops after x mission (but non campaign missions can be done in perpetuity). I think all the paradox stuff on backerkit is just to show ownership of the game and forum badge/profile picture stuff.
