Second, an update would be really nice right about now. 
The suspence is killing me.

I want to know how closed beta's going.

I'm curious, too, but I'm mainly here for the poking...

See devs, this is what you have done!
'Tis not wise to poke a War Wolf.
The repercussions can be quite far reaching.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

What's this about? Quoting Avatea:
"The Live North American and European City of Heroes servers will be offline for the implementation of a build on Wednesday, April 7th, 2010.
Start Time: 4AM Pacific Time (7AM Eastern Time / 12PM British Summer Time / 13:00 Central European Summer Time)
Expected Duration: 2 hours
Expected Finish Time: 6AM Pacific Time (9 AM Eastern Time / 2PM BST /15:00 CEST)
Patch notes will be available after the downtime.
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!"
Does this mean no Open Beta? Or perhaps DS is being released seperatley from I17 (Dual Pistols also went Live on a Wednesday)? I'm not speculating I'm honestly asking. 
(Ok maybe I'm speculating a little bit. )
It's exactly what it says it is. An upcoming patch.
Frankly, I don't expect the patch notes to say anything more than, "Fixed an exploit.".

Two hours isn't remotely long enough to release an issue. Nor is it long enough to release just Demon Summoning. (They have to test major additions thoroughly before they reopen servers.)

Ya I didn't expect I17 to go live tomorrow (as Issues are patched in on Tuesdays), was more hoping that DS might be coming sooner than I had hoped (since as I said DP was also released on a Wednesday).
More than anything I was confused by their choice of words, Live Publish specifically. Oh well, we'll see tomorrow I guess. Fortunatley I can play Stacraft II in the meantime (a Beta I was actually invited to).

This closed beta has been unusually long, I'll admit, but I assume that since it hasn't gone live yet, they're working on ironing out kinks and such - adding a bunch of new graphics stuff that they need to ensure runs on a wide variety of hardware configurations will probably take a while. However, this probably means open beta will be short-ish if they want to get this live by the end of the month.

Not always. Let's see how they add up by issues. Dates taken from ParagonWiki Timeline page.
Code:
Issue 16 - September 15, 2009 Tuesday Issue 15 - June 29, 2009 Monday Issue 14 - April 8, 2009 Wednesday Issue 13 - December 2, 2008 Tuesday Issue 12 - May 20, 2008 Tuesday Issue 11 - November 28, 2007 Wednesday Issue 10 - July 24, 2007 Tuesday Issue 9 - May 1, 2007 Tuesday Issue 8 - November 28, 2006 Tuesday Issue 7 - June 6, 2006 Tuesday CoV - October 31, 2005 Monday Issue 6 - October 27, 2005 Thursday CoV Headstart same day Issue 5 - August 8, 2005 Wednesday Issue 4 - May 4, 2005 Wednesday Issue 3 - January 4, 2005 Tuesday Issue 2 - September 16, 2004 Thursday Issue 1 - June 29, 2004 Tuesday CoH - April 28, 2004 Wednesday Headstart- April 25, 2004 Sunday Monday - 2 Tuesday - 8 Non-Tuesday's - 10 Wednesday - 4 Thursday - 2 Friday - 0 Saturday - 0 Sunday - 1
As you can see from the chart, it's almost equally as likely that an Issue patch will be released on a day other than Tuesday as it is that it will be released on a Tuesday.
So, can we let this fallacy die once and for all? Please?
Think I'm gonna hang onto that chart and keep it updated. And pull it out every single time I see someone make that fallacious statement.
Maybe if I repeat it enough times people will finally realize the truth.
I'm not holding my breath.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

(It may be because I play WoW, and they also happen to release major patches on Tuesdays.)
I still highly doubt I17 is coming out tomorrow; hoping it's DS prerelease but I'm a bit skeptical of even that.

The better way to say this is that it's just as likely for an issue to go live on a 'non-Tuesday' as it is for a Tuesday.|

Not always. Let's see how they add up by issues. Dates taken from ParagonWiki Timeline page. Code:
Monday - 2 Tuesday - 9 Non-Tuesday's - 9 Wednesday - 4 Thursday - 2 Friday - 0 Saturday - 1 Sunday - 0 |
Discounting Friday and Sunday (I'd ignore Saturday because it's only a headstart but it's on the chart) that means 4 days for 50% compared to 1 day. It is more likely for issues to go live on a Tuesday. Plus, except for major urgent patches (like the recent ones to curb the latest ae exploit), most of those are done on Tuesdays.
Now WHY is it more likely on Tuesdays? Because it gives them the rest of the week to try to quickly fix any bugs or problems that might pop up before they're all off for the weekend. So why not Monday? A day to review any bug reports that came in over the weekend and see if the issue needs to be pushed back or is 'good enough'. That's my thinking on why Tuesday is more common an Issue release day than any other.

Also as far as the "why Tuesday?" argument goes, note that the second highest is Wednesday. Which probably means they meant to do it Tuesday but got delayed.

Or they decided to release it on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday.
How hard can the concept of choice be for some people? Seriously?
