Issue 23 'open' beta...(not started yet...taking dates?)
Not before they let the players test I22.5.
61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)
I'd guess within a week or two honestly. Doesn't seem like there's going to be a 22.5. If it isn't just down for the weekend.
I'm 'assuming' 22.5 will bring a new trial or two. There was talk about info being released on them at the player summit. Supposedly new incarnate slots are coming out with one of these trials also? I don't remember what exactly was mentioned, but I'm guessing we won't see beta activity until after the Pummit.

The patch on beta is 2300.201203300337.0.0 (emphasis mine), which I think precludes the possibility a half-issue update.

I bet they'll "open" it the minute i lose internet! I'll be moving soon if all things go well.
At least i got my (Droid)Phone that can at least read the forums!

Ahhh, that makes sense. So if we're not getting a half update, I guess we should not be expecting any new content until around August or so. I was really hoping to get a new incarnate slot/trial sooner on a half update. Ohhhh well.

I think that a late May/early June launch for I23 would be a more reasonable timescale, leaving July/August free for the new Summer Blockbuster event.
I24 should go into player beta around September/October, with a November launch before the Winter event starts in December.

Hope you're right. Time between full issues since I19 has been around 5-6 months. I know it's not an exact science but I just like to plan for the worst.

Would a half issue possibly show up on Test instead of Beta?
I don't mind either way - half issue or next whole issue - I just can't recall how the past ones have worked, regarding the beta and test servers.
Also... I'll take second week of May and a side order of onion rings, please.

Well, as long as something new and shiny is ready to play with mid-to-end of May I'm good.
My surgery date is May 10th so I'll be off from May 10th through June 3rd....
I give myself a couple of days to be not totally 'high' on all the pain meds I'll be on...so...at least a good solid 2 weeks of gaming!

Staff fighting has been in BETA for four months now. I mean you have all the inside info GG, when the heck is that going live? Give us some info we want.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Or, ya know, we'll get it when we get it and stop asking because that won't make it any sooner.
i would prolly guess that staff fighting is within the next week or 2, i figure next week will prolly be staff fighting, week after will be the team transport power, and amongst that will be the additional xp boosters most likely
i think within the next 2 weeks we will also be getting the salute to statesman loyalty rewards

I'd guess the Player Summit would be a reasonable time to launch the VIP beta too, probably also coinciding with the Scif-Fi Costume pack and some teases/reveals of a few new upcoming Powersets and the next set of SSAs.
Always remember, we were Heroes.
The only question is if it'll be at I23 launch or some time after. Expect to hear more at the player summit.
If it's to the point where Zwillinger is doing some very thinly veiled fishing about paragon point price points (say that 3 times fast!), it's already a sure thing.

So beta server is closed to us and is being readied for Issue 23.
Just downloaded a nice sized patch (didn't catch how big) for beta....
When do you think i23 will be released to 'open/closed/vip' beta?
After the player summit?
