I16 Beta Today

Hmm the only reason I can think of for the change from the many previous closed beta tests (keep in mind it wasn't until the last 4-5 issues they even bothered with closed betas) is that the character creator will probably be as buggy as hell and they don't want people logging in to a character creator that is causing problems and generally not working correctly...

...what it's an explanation dang it!

The character creator is a chunk of what actually needs to be tested for once, so I can see why they would want to restrict it.

Edit: Well, looks like a lot of people just posted the same thing.

Ahahaha no, not really.

Unfortunate about the editor, I thought the Devs loved us too...guess it was just a fling.

There seems to be a twitter battle going on between CoH and CO.

I can see the server just fine. Just can't get in it.

The servers have been taken down (meaning, not even Beta testers can get to it at the moment) until this issue is fixed.

Now, amid the cries of "Unfair!" and "Why change this now?" I'll explain the purpose of this code change. What we've done is instituted a "Queue" server, so that on really busy weekends, Freedom won't be listed as "unavailable" if it is full, it will simply put you into the "next available slot" queue. Hopefully, this will alleviate some of the issues that crop up from the full server problem.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Well not really a "battler" per say, but every time a CoH dev tweets, a CO dev tweets something else soon after.

I guess you gotta be following them to see it.

Customizable buttcapes, you heard it from bAss first!

Thanks for the heads up Castle and all the best to the Devs and testers!

Apparently. Now I know why I keep getting negative rep for posting Dev quotes. Thanks, at least, to Z_I and everyone who went to Comic Con and posted about it.

Is there updated information on Issue 16 someplace?

Positron_CoHI can't believe we forgot the patch note about Pets zoning with their owners in I16.

So far, just what has been discussed by the dev's in various places, and we've been able to find without the Digests in action.

Pets will zone with the owner, a new server queue system, and... *shrug*

This is freakin' awesome. And I don't even play on Freedom or Virtue. It just shows on how many levels they are constantly trying to improve the game.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Thanks Nuclear Toes for this, I can't seem to find Dev posts on this new forum.

Yeah, I wish they'd fix that. Scurrying around trying to find Developer and Community posts sucks.

GoliathBirdEater has cobbled together a "Temporary Dev Digest" with a list of Dev names you can click to get their recent posts. Not as good as the real thing but useful.

I just click the "New Posts" button at the top and hope to find some dev posts in there.
