I guess regular maintenance. I don't know what that means in US time, but for my time it's in an hour or two counting from now.

well the servers are about to go down...with any luck it'll be Going Rogue prepurchase time, I can have Dual Pistols and do a merry jig.
Finished a Khan TF with 25 minutes to spare. Managed to do the entire run in under 45 minutes...damn that team impressed me.

Well, then I was right. Maintenance is at 3PM my time. Alrighty, time to go have some lunch and with any luck, I'll be able to at least log into the game when I'm back.

The upside is, if GR goes on sale today, and I don't get into closed, I will still have a new power set to play with

Aren't all 60-month vets getting in.... or was that just a tease? (because they split the GR content into i17, they can get away with saying this closed beta was not meant for 60+ month vets... even though it's GR content and improvements)

Stuff in i17 isn't GR content. It may have been at one point, but everyone's getting i17 for free whereas people will have to pay for GR. The 60+ vets, Hero con attendees, loyalty programmers and GR pre-orderers were promised closed beta access to GR. Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning are part of GR, so they took people out of the GR testing pool to test them.
While i17 contains content that was originally intended for release with GR, it isn't anymore. So while they could still use this pool of testers for i17, they don't really have to. They could use the beta inviting system they have for previous issues, where three-week customers have been included.

... and now Ultra-mode is a part of i17...
Therefore, i17 has GR content (and the set-up content for GR)

But it's changed since then, no? That would mean people are getting access to GR content without paying, and that just isn't how it works.

Well, I'd certainly like to have a spot in Beta so I can try help point out anything that specifically slows down (I still don't have my 275), but I can understand not being invited. I've been shunned from every other Beta that wasn't based on seniority already

From what I recall, they said that 60+ month vets would get beta access to GR regardless of whether they will purchase it or not...

Yeah, but I17 is not GR. Ultra Mode is no longer GR, it is I17. Therefore anything they said about GR does not have to apply to I17 and Ultra Mode.

I do get that -- I was just pointing out that you don't need to pre-purchase to have beta access to GR (if you're a 60+ month vet or have the badges from staying a subscriber from August to November).

... and I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up when I saw the i17 closed beta announcement. I forgot that long-time, loyal subscribers aren't considered for the closed betas (for issues). |
