Alpha/Beta Announcement thread. Next Alpha: ???

[Kajii]

Does that mean you have been accepted into the beta, i.e new invites have been sent out or you have just recieved the standard email everyone else is getting about the client being ready to download on the 2nd ?

The standard "can download 7/2" e-mail, I guess.

Details regarding the precise dates and times of the upcoming beta tests will be announced in the near future.

I just realized this, but from the sound of it, it's going to work like the alpha...I hope the new schedule wont be as strict.

[Hyan]

Hmm, iirc, they mentioned that they'll test the server stability first before making them run 24/7.

[Soap]

Probably a test or two on a 4 hour schedule, then a 24/7 test and if all is stable more invites will start coming out. Also, I think our next test might be on the 4th since 2 days after the alpha download was up, testing started.

Sunday? I think it can wait 'till Monday bro. Tuesday would be my guess.

[Sinzfeldt]

Whelp, next week it is.

Confirmed or did you just pull that out of your ass?

[Destinye]

Based on the last time they had issues with getting the client out, usually was a week or so before it was made available.

[Orden]

I pulled it out of my ass.

ftfy

A trend can't be established with only one occurrence. Learn2Statistics.

[Katlan]

Well this is lame, stayed up for nothing.

same, prolly wont be up until the 5/6th at the earliest.. given its a holiday weekend and it needs to be given worldwide availability

[Draylo]

Stayed up for nothing either way, they said the download would be available not that the game itself would be...

That's how I interpretted my email too. I considered staying up or waking up early but I felt it would be pointless. I didn't think starting a trickling download a couple hours early was worth the lost sleep. Plus, I was anticipating the actual gaming servers being down, as there was no mention of actual testing.

I go to sleep at 1am anyways, so I maybe stayed up 5 extra minutes at most lol. But yeah, email was pretty speciix that just the DL was available as it said "dates and times for the beta will be announced at a later date" hur hur

[Munba]

Beta client available now.
