I'm not sure what this means...

For the last week if you tried to login to one test realm you would get the message that it hasn't gone public yet; if you logged onto the other it would tell you that you had the wrong version.

Last night a lot of people had trouble connecting to the Test Client. This morning *both* Training Rooms give you the message that they haven't gone public yet. Do you think that the Test Client was patched last night? If so, does that mean we'll be waiting longer than we thought for the OB? Does this confirm that one Room is being used for I17 CB and one is for GR F&F?

Personally, I'm not totally sure what this means (my guess is they finally patched that second server, but what were they using it for then?); feel free to speculate.

I also just logged in and it's showing one of the Training Rooms as "Full-Queuing Players." Wonder what's going on today...

Could be some sort of load test to check stability.

Wouldn't many people not have time to test stuff so close to Easter?

Ill be shocked outta my mind if they OB today and i mean shocked. Considering a red name said they arent quite ready but....they invited either loyalty people or 60+month vets not too long ago. I mean I know this is a beta to go down in CoX history books but damn its a long one.Someone already said the graphics overhaul and email system may be one of the reasons its such a long one. Which I completely understand but the CoV beta wasnt even this long was it?

It may feel like it's been a long Beta, but it's actually only gone a couple of days more than average (Avg= ~28 days, I17CB= 30 days thus far). Comparatively, CoV was in beta for much longer (almost three months).

i17 isnt a full blown expansion like CoV was though. I see GR using its full 4 month CB allotted time but not i17. Somethin seems outta ordinary like they are having trouble with something. Maybe the new graphics is lagging a lot of people even with their spiffy gpu's. Who knows it could be a number of things actually since so much was added with i17.I know nothing of CB since I've never been invited to one but what i do know is that a lot of people that are in it are leaking so much info like they don't deserve to be in it.My speculations mean nothing since thats the key to speculation.....just pure guesses.For now as many have said all we can do is.....................wait.

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.
As I said, I17's CB really hasn't gone much longer than the average Issue. Also, we should expect this particular Issue to take a bit longer because Ultra-Mode is a large addition in and of itself (plus an MM primary (among other things) which the devs have said are a pain in the *** to make). I can empathize though; it feels like it's taking an eternity to me too. DS Nao!

Lmao. I dunno how many times ive seen that posted but it means nothing to me now.Ya its valuable information but things change and from this CB we now know that.Also from how it seems that if we speculate and QQ enough a red name will step in, hey maybe one will do the same today lol. So secret red name, will you enlighten us on why the training room is acting weird, like saying its full.Does that mean we'll see a OB today or naa?


 

Posted

Hoping for a Red Name to enlighten us as to the goings-on of CB is a pipe dream at best I'm afraid. What happens in CB, stays in CB.

If we bring spice produciton to a standstill on this forum, the red names will be forced to deal with us personally.

What do u mean deal with us personally? Am i being outta line with anything ive said?

Yaaaaawn....

Good morning everyone! Such a lovely pollen filled spring day!

any thoughts/ reflexions as to why downloading test is er... slow...ish?


Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

It's been that way since last night, I dunno what's up. Just be patient and you'll get on eventually (emphasis on eventually).

As I was checkin to see if it were in OB yet it seems to be that training room 1 is at maximum capacity.That may be one reason that its takin forever in load times.

hmm that must mean they just let a whack load of people in CB, hopefully the last wave.
