Ah yes, good point.

Better screens soon hopefully, the more people they get the more action there is for me to take screens.

Even screens with hardly anyone in them are great. Especially that last batch.

Just out of curiosity can beta testers from PSU send you SS? Say (god willing ) i get into beta tomorrow, can i take some VS SS and send them to you? Obviously you would decide to post or not and which ones but would you consider posting some at all?

I want beta........tho i wonder what component on the computer I was missing, i made the minimum requirements........oh well......yea i guess its better to have the full versin than the part empty one.....

And Hamma, make us proud with em screenys.

That spec thing is BS. I have a better comp than 98% of the beta testers.

They arent looking for the best. They are looking for a variety. My comp is basicaly on the lowest of applicable comps. Im in now. Dont be so sure about how good your comp is either, cause i bet its not as good as you think.

[BUGGER]

Yea but they also would want to see if there are any problems with the servers being completly full, so first it would be fastest and met way above the minimum requirements.......hey maybe I might be lucky.....if i get called latr on...

actualy server load tests come in open beta. Right now they are focused on bug squashing. That includes driver issues and preformance issues. As i was saying ... they want a variety

[BUGGER]

Thats what I mean, open beta, now its still closed and everybody in closed are fixing the small holes still scattered round the game.

And yes they want a variety of computer junk, but first should be the highest computers, than try multi computers. (yall should try mine, its the lowest of all, right on the requirments!)

i believe you are mixing your personal bias of your computer with logic, no? The servers work fine with lower numbers of people, and so being, there is no reason to resort to what i believe you believe as a more *stable* system of using higher quality computers in an effort to focus on more pressed issues such as the said servers. As this is not the case, and the more pressed issues involve local compatibility, there is no need to use your implication of more *stable* systems(which is largely false btw), as the point would be to make the *unstable* ones more stable in relation to the program. I believe i have driven you through the logic rather nicely. Can I please say that they are looking for a mix of computers now?

say im not accepted, im not going to cry. i will however break a bunch of shit, but no crying.

[BUGGER]

Yes I know they must test all computers, from fast to slow, from highest card, to minimum requirment card. But I am stating that for testing the full capacity of a server (1000/1000 or however big the server is). A faster computer or top notch computers should be choosen for that, then after they run outa those they choose second, and so on and so forth till they reach 1000 at the server.

I'm not dissagreeing with you, but I am stating that top notch computers will be used first to test a full server. Then they would (or should) use different ranking computers and see if there are any problems with the server then.

Sry if I counfuse you or me....

you made an effort to be anti-inflamitory so i will too ill just put it this way: right now they arent focusing on server load(your 1k/1k). The actual server capacity ive heard will be from around 5-10k per world and maybe at most 2k per continent(but more realisticly 500-1000). They project average server usage at 300-2k people per server and 200 or less per continent. This has nothing to really do with clients, so there is no reason to pick computers with better parts.

I cry no more. Beta has arrived on my computer.

If i had a chance to talk to SOE, i'd ask them very nicely to do away with the NDA. all of us 16-17 yr olds get shafted by leagal niceties...
