I wish we could actually *play* it. I have a sneaking suspicion that the only reason I17 isn't in OB right now is because of problems with Ultra-Mode. I'm starting to really wish they had just left UM for GR, probably a minority opinion though

What is your basis for thinking that former CB's running times aren't a good metric to be used to predict the closure of I17's CB?

Unlike Closed Beta, Open Beta seems to last approximatly bacon days... o.o
Adding it all up and dividing by 8 yeilds an average of 25.125 days of Open Beta.
*Edit* Also note that I said excluding the CB's for Release and CoV. The CBs for new releases and full fledged expansions are of course going to be significantly longer than individual patches.
*Edit the 2nd* Also note that I understand that Ultra-Mode is a significant addition and may cause this CB to take longer than most; however, looking over the additions in I17, it appears (to me at least) that Ultra-mode is the vast majority of new content for this Issue other than DS (for prepurchasers). -
Well they said that the Dual Pistols forums would be closed Monday, and it was closed two days late. This could either be taken as they are going to launch the I17 OB "soon" or they're behind schedule and we'll be waiting a bit longer.
Also I'm not saying that this is proof of anything, I simply said that it *perhaps* means OB isn't a full week away as many have been saying. Avatea said that the OB was "not quite ready", not that it was a long ways off.
Personally, if I was a betting man, I'd say that OB is going to come out early next week, but you never know. To my knowledge CBs (other than for Release and CoV) don't last longer than 28 days or so. It's day 29 for I17's. -
They finally took down the Dual Pistols OB forums; perhaps the I17 Open Beta is closer than we think?
-
I would imagine that /dark and /thermal will be fairly common. Going with the former myself; have a Dark Lord concept brewing in my mind.

Thanks for those. So glad to finally see something regarding demon summoning. Am I wrong in that it seemed like the small demons were using claws animations? Certainly looked like it.
-
This will be a long Closed Beta indeed if OB doesn't go live until next week. As appreciative as I am to have a Red Name post on the subject, this news is a real downer.
These last couple weeks have been torture waiting for PAX to hear news about DS. After the teaser today waiting another week to play it will... suck to say the least. I'm not sure how many more times I can refresh the front page before going completely bonkers.
I blame Ultra-Mode.

I'm hoping that if you decide to turn your villain to blue-side ... that the demons turn into something appropriately heroic.
I just can't see a hero using demons...

Not all heroes are White Knights.

My CoH Test updater is suddenly stuck on connecting...what does this mean?
*Edit* Doesn't mean anything apparently. /groan -
In order for something to be a joke, it has to be funny. Saying that OB is open when it's not isn't funny, it's cruel.

Fool me once, shame on you...

I call shenanigans... early April Fools joke?
*Edit* Curse you Zander.

The OB is up!?! But it still won't let me access the Training Room.

Silence of the Lambs?

I thought F&F Beta was starting this week for GR?
*Edit* Ya, PAX was last Sat. and panel says "next week" so that means it has either already started or is about to sometime this week. -
Guess no OB today. =( Why must you torment me Paragon Studios?!?

No StillReal. You are the demons.
And then StillReal was a demon. -
OB's still not up yet. *sobs*

Going with /dark myself, for thematic purposes if nothing else. Was considering /thermal but my Thugs/Thermal died as soon as he hit 32, because I realized I *really* hate refreshing buffs every four minutes, and was underwhelmed by the final upgrade (yay now my arsonist pulls even more aggro, brilliant!).

Open beta nao!!!

Thanks for the tip Chad, worked like a charm.

hmm, see for me they don't show up in the pet window's interface. My thermal buffs do, however. I wonder why? I looked to see if something was checked under options that would cause this behavior, but didn't find anything.
