My friend from Netherlands cant activate the Mass Effect punchcard They are Alpha Skip...

Currently playing Alpha Protocol, later on plan on finishing a run on Mass Effect & Mass Effect 2 in prep for Mass Effect 3.

Oh! and just bought Enslaved couple of days ago. Looking forward to play it, I really liked the demo.

Ye im on alpha skip ahead, i have been on the program over 4 years.

To get on alpha skip you nneed to have been a active member for a set time.

You will get there just keep plodding on 👍

I really liked Alpha Protocol- so much so that I actually bought it for both consoles (though I gave my PS3 copy to a friend) for the combined total of about $18!

Okay, there were some issues (the texture pop-in was the most noticeable to me), but the idea that your choices could actively shape your game felt more satisfying to me than Mass Effect 3 did!

A Friend says its since 31th july in but only for alpha skip ahead member realese of only Alpha is coming

Hello,

i am from Germany ....

Now i want to join Alpha Ring, but Microsoft Support tells me, the only way i can join Alpha Ring ist via Invite from another People in the Alpha Ring.

But i dont know anyone in Alpha Ring.

What can i do to join Alpha Ring in XBOX Insider Hub?

Greetings from Germany as well.

Previously, before there were rings, you had to be invited by someone already in the "Xbox Preview Program" as it was called back then.

This was then changed to the Xbox Insider Program, and anyone was able to join by installing the Xbox Insider App, and anyone is allowed to choose a ring up to Beta.

Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead are only available by invitation from someone at Microsoft, and only if new free slots are available.

You will have to "earn" the privilege to be considered by providing regular and quality feedback, and hope that there are Alpha/Skip Ahead members that provided less feedback, and are removed from the Alpha/Skip Ahead rings.

So the only thing we can suggest is to be patient, and to continue participating in the available activities, and wait for the invitation.
