Rule Three: Put your team and the opposing team in a large field and build a high wall round them. The reason for this is that, though the game is a major spectator sport, the frustration experienced by the audience at not actually being able to see what's going on leads them to imagine that it's a lot more exciting than it actually is. A crowd that has just watched a rather humdrum game experiences far less life-affirmation than a crowd that believes it has just missed the most dramatic event in sporting history. |

While I remain curious as to what those issues may have been, thanks for the update. You may want to poke the OCR team to say something to that effect on the facebook and twitter feeds.

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.
Was the posting of the cancellation only on Facebook? I'm surprised a notice wasn't posted here or did I miss it in the forum some where?
Out of curiosity, how many people showed up? I saw myself and three others in Atlas.

It also shows up in Community Digest, but that only updates every 20 minutes.
It was also Tweeted.

I logged on about 5 after 2 and saw nobody was on, then I looked at twitter and facebook and saw they cancelled.

I'm in Atlas but don't see many peeps yet. Bout ten min to go unless they cancelled and are only posting cancellation on Twitter and Facebook. Meh. Why does everyone use facebook when we have a forum?
One of things I noticed tonight is that I got kicked due to a mapserver discon. I could not log in as my toon despite having restarted the client several times. It would let me log on as a different toon but not the one that was involved in the BAF. It would always say "Character -toon's name- is still logging out. Please wait a second, then try again." Ten minutes had passed and still was locked out of main toon. Restart of client does not seem to fix. I finally got on but it took many tries.
So uh, if we got one of the codes, where would we go to get them credited to our accounts? I'm not sure where to enter it. Please help?
Go to your NCsoft master account, click on "apply serial code".

And some of us have characters locked due to mapservers. I sure as heck hope this will not be applied to the live servers.

Thanks for the play time on test today, OCR team! Very nice of you to also hang out for chatter in Pocket D after.
Zwillinger, we missed you, please get healthy!
The stress testing is probably the only time I'm encouraged to break things. I enjoyed it immensely.
Too bad I didn't understand the point of these stress tests back when I joined my first one for the soon-to-be launched Arenas. Got in a team with a redname, all queued up for the battle, then DCed. Thought I did something wrong so I stayed logged off and didn't rejoin stress test events for years.
Now I know to chuckle and jump right back on to try again.
Anyway the point is I'm looking forward to joining you on test again next week! I'm already copying over multiple iterations of my main so that if one gets stuck logged on there are a dozen more to get back in game ASAP.

FYI, something that worked for me today during the stress test was I logged on another character (or since I only had the one copied, I created a temp alt), zoned with them from Atlas Park > Kings Row > Pocket D, then was able to re-access my character that had been stuck "logging out". Not sure if it was the single or double zoning, or both with a little bit of time, that unlocked the main alt. I know just creating a character wasn't enough, so I logged back in the temp to tell people in Pocket D that I was locked out and go on without me, then tried again and was immediately able to get back on my main to lead the next BAF.|

Either way, yeah, don't want that bug on Live servers.
I noticed that play on the test server was smoother than on Live, but it DID mapserve a lot. I was even mapserving while skiing at the chalet. The Mapserves seemed to coincide with people running BAFs.
I'm almost thinking it's a hardware problem and not exclusively a programing one.

Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
News from the ustream chat just now: Apparently our testing last night uncovered an egregious bug that they didn't know about yet, so- success!
My guess would be something to do with the "this character is still logging out".
Hmmm something is up, they cancelled the Ustream too, wonder what is wrong?
