I got this email yesterday. Keep in mind that I read it from the top, down. I got my hopes up and utterly crushed all within 3 secs of each other

Very exciting- soon I'll be able to unleash the green flaming death monkeys of my level 50 fire/rad controller onto the unsuspecting 8-man spawns of zombies in my farm mission without having to bug fillers!

Soon(tm) just got a whole lot Soon(tm)-er it seems.

Historically speaking...it's probably at least a month away.

I believe it usually goes 2-3 weeks of closed beta and 1-2 weeks open, and then live.

Ouch, that was some bad timing for them to announce their closed beta. ┐('~`;)┌

If I16 allows me to just login and play with the customization I would be fine with that -- In the past you could get to the creator screen but just not login with a character.

I've been so tempted to come out of retirement and do another guide...
...and I16 Closed Beta starts on the first day of my work's two-month crunch time.

Fate, you are one mean b**ch.

Well, no log-in possible right now. Server is down.

Depends on the issue. This one may take a bit longer. Power customization is a big thing and will need a lot of testing, I would think.

Power Customization - VFX
  • Do all of your powers FX appear the way you expect them to appear, based on the colors you've selected?
  • Do the FX appear the way you expect them to appear on critters and/or allies?
  • Do continuing (Fire damage over time) and/or conditional FX (block of ice hold) appear correct on yourself, allies, and/or targets?
  • Do your customized FX stay persistent when you zone, when you enter missions, supergroup bases, log off/log in, exemplar, sidekick, etc.
  • Does everything work as expected when you switch costumes, switch costumes that involve a gender change, use temporary disguise powers such as the Halloween costume change powers, etc.
  • Do other players VFX appear the way they expect them to appear? Do your VFX appear the way you expect them to appear to other players?
Power Customization - Animations
  • Do customized animations play consistently as expected?
  • Do they play consistently while flying, while jumping, while moving, while various toggles are active, while disguised, etc? (If not, be very specific about the particular combination of body types, toggles, etc)
  • Do other players' animations appear the way they expect them to appear? Do your animations appear to other players the way you expect them to appear?
If you get in, remember this

Closed beta means you can only log in to the game world if you're invited. You can still twiddle with character creation, though.

In the past though, Closed beta just means that you cannot get into PC/RI. but cha can get into the costume creator.

I dont see why they wouldnt allow this, since the largest feature of I16 can be played around with in the creator, they would appreciate all the bug feedback they can get.

I think she was referring to the beta, not the log-in server.

Very true. But to be honest I didn't think we'd even be at this point for at least another month, so that puts the Dev's ahead of my personal expectations. This makes me one happy little customer.

It would appear so.

In any case, I don't know if I'm in Beta or not--I'm just looking forward to seeing screenies of folks experimenting with the totally-not-closed-at-all-brand-spanking-new-character creator.

Nice, the leaves and my power colors will get to change about the same time.

Go for it, beta testers!

And let the complaining about what I16 should do begin!

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
