A suggested "better way" to access beta content.

Current method:
1. During log-in, choose to continue with the main game server OR Act 8 Chapter 3 Beta server.
2. When you try to log back into your account in the main game server, you are brought to this MCOC dashboard with an unlinked account, and you have to provide your credentials once again (email and password) to get back to the game.
3. Every time you would like to run the beta or go back to your main account, you have to rinse and repeat #1 and #2.

This is TEDIOUS.

Suggested method:
1. One log in to the main account. From within the main account, those who were granted access to the beta content can simply tap on a special tab in your main account in which you are able to access the beta server without having to log off the main server.
2. To go back into the main account, simply exit the Beta Server as you would exit Incursions or Battlegrounds.

To be honest, when I first accessed the beta and then tried getting back into my main account, I thought I had lost my main account because nothing was there except a Level 1 unnamed account. That's just not cool. Clearly, the process was not thoroughly checked in terms of how the log-in and log-off could be seamless.

Would be better if a less tedious method could be executed in the future when beta content are tested.

    This is a pretty good suggestion. I don't have the beta myself, but I can imagine logging back in and out can get pretty tiresome and tedious at times. However, I doubt Kabam would see it as a necessity to change this process unless more people are granted access to the beta servers.

    The current way works perfectly fine. You shouldn’t have to log in and out of your account just because you’re going back to the main server. This is my 5th beta and I’ve never had this issue and there’s no mass reports of this being an issue either. The current process isn’t tedious at all, it’s literally 2 taps and done, and has been successful for years. Changing it to overlay the beta server on top of the main server will almost definitely cause significant issues.

    Wait really? I always have to log back into my main account when I go form any beta to the main server

    I never have to log back in again. Is your main account the default one on your device?

    It also could be an apple android thing, I have android and don't need to log back in.

    If I can figure out how to upload a video in here I can show you me going back and forth between the servers in 30 seconds with 2 taps on each side. But figuring that out might require more investment than I’m willing to make lol

    YouTube, convert to a gif, or upload to any video site like vimeo.

    I’ve got Apple and previously had Android. Never had to log back in with either.

    I capped out on my effort, but we got there.

    You easily can switch between the main game and the Beta Server if you tap the „Beta Hub“. No need to relogg

    What I think happens is when you switch back, it goes to the profile that would load in on your phone without need of logging in. I don't have to log in to play store or kabam to access my main account, so I can freely switch between them.

    I was able to confirm this interaction by logging in to Google play on my main, going to Beta, going back, and then checking which account was logged in and there was no Google play account logged in.

    A potential workaround is uninstalling and reinstalling mcoc and then when you start the game, there should be an option to continue a save file, or log in option of some sort, and by doing that, then the default profile on your device would be the account you log in as. This way, you can switch freely between Beta and main game.
