I'm going to guess April 19th. The Weekly Strike Target thread was recently updated with April targets, and ends at the 18th. Maybe they didn't want to tell us yet that the ones after that will be the new i20 TF/SF? |

Has it even gone to the test server yet? I know it's been on Beta server and it's now in an open status. In the past, all issues have hit the test server before release. Is the Beta server now considered the new Test server for issue releases?

The problem with that is that it's on a Thursday, and while, yes, we have had what is it...2 Thursday releases for Issues? I still think we're more likely for a Tuesday. Also, haven't we had long maintenances before without it being an Issue release? Could be some kind of preparation, or something totally unrelated.

All the previous betas (for the last while anyway) had a definite closed then open period. This one has flip-flopped back and forth. I'm not sure the old rules apply. |

Also, I can't really think of a good reason to bother putting it on the test server, unless they feel they didn't get enough traffic on the beta server.
I'm going to guess it's released tomorrow. I hope I'm not disappointed.
I say April 28th.
#1 - Anniversary Date of the game's launch.
#2 - Day before the Royal Wedding. What better way to upset the Brits. 
Hmmm the 28th seems a bit far for the release.. Considering how small the patches have been on the Beta lately there doesn't seem to be any show stopping bugs.
That said, the new League system may need to be tested on the live servers, thus the 6 hour maintenance tomorrow. If it seems to be bug free, my guess is next Tuesday!

[/center] Depends on your show. I'm quite annoyed with the bug with pets with a " in their name makes them unable to be commanded and their damage doesn't show in any log.
March 31st: 6 hours long downtime (which is the length of new issues downtime).
March 31st: Live chat with Paragon Studios in the evening.
Not convinced yet, but they might give us a surprise tomorrow.

Arc ID 292449 The Shadow of Eihbon Solo Friendly; Canon Related; Magic.
Zwillinger just shot it down for tomorrow in another thread

I'll be sleeping as I'm working that night, and if i'm not sleeping i'll be vehemently ignoring the festivities on general principle and grumpyness.

I actually- don't care about the wedding. So it'll just be another day to me. If I get a day of peace where I get to CoH, cool.

But since that day is now a bank holiday, I at least now get a day in lieu to use at my own convenience.

Unfortunately taking tea in 'that' way has been judged as discriminative against minorties and thus been made unlawful, we request you turn your self into the police station.

I think April 19th sounds right to me, based on the amount of time Beta has been going, although I wouldn't be surprised if the Devs waited until the 28th either.

Yes, its a bank holiday over here.
Yes, I will be working.
No, I won't be paid any extra.
In fact there is now only ONE day a year now that we do get paid any extra (xmas - because no one would work if they didn't)
So, Bring on the CoH.
personally, I think it will be released when its ready, and not before.

Zwill crushed my hopes and dreams anyway so I'm going to go with your original post and say the 19th, too.

I'm going to go with the April 12th.
They only announced Weekly Strike Targets for the first two weeks of April and the 12th will overlap with the time period running out for the Anniversary Vanguard pack, so we won't see a dip (however slight) of people keeping accounts open for that badge and bonuses then cancelling until issue 20 comes out.

I think it's also interesting that they chose Tuesday as the day to start the WSTs rather than Monday - like it seems like they were trying to sync them with a Tuesday release date for I20 and the new TFs in it.

Or, whatever reason they like to publish on Tuesdays is also a good reason to flip the switch on a new WST on Tuesdays.
