Tech Test starting at 6pm, Invites going out now!

[Bags]

They've stated they need all ranges of PCs multiple times.

Stop making up bullshit rumors.

Man, this thread is going downhill fast...

Although I guess after the raging guy who felt SOE owed him something set the tone I should not be surprised. (I did like the whole "go kill yourself" thing though, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that I can make some crying little tool so upset.)

So let's cool the rumor-spinning and the freaking out over nothing. It is a tech test, not full on beta here, this is to test connectivity and client stability as the devs have stated before; so sit back and relax a bit.

Exactly. We're glad that they even told us about the Technical Test. They could have just as easily slipped people some e-mails, put a mention of the NDA on the e-mail notifying them that they can't say that they have received it, and went on as planned. ArenaNet did something very similar with their Guild Wars 2 tech. test and their first beta event.

This thread has lost it any resemblance of being constructive. You will get in when you get in. Crying about the injustices of not being first in? As punishment all that complain get let in last. Lord knows they care noting about actual beta they just wanna play.

[Ninjacalypse]

Yeah, I'm not losing sleep. Apparently, the actual testing will be very structured supposedly.

Tech test is a privilege.....

Beta is a privilege.....

Please lets stop complaining about who is in what and who they are inviting to whatever, if you get in, then bonus, if you don't, then fair enough, but complaining about not being "invited" is a bit silly.

Seems like we're all under-privileged then. Back to sleeping in my cellar and eating porridge.

Hyped up as much as it was, I don't see how anyone is surprised at the reactions , all just a bit of fun.

[Arovien]

Welcome to the internet, where complaining is a pastime.

For what it's worth, just because they're developing it on systems with high specs doesn't mean that they don't need to do further testing with high performance systems. The tech test probably isn't even about game performance -- it's trying to ferret out the crashes, memory leaks, and glitchy install problems that are caused, not by poor specs, but by unforseen interactions in the thousands of permutations of hardware and drivers in the wild.

Just because the game runs fine and performs smooth as silky butter on the combination of hardware they have been developing on, doesn't mean the game won't crash nine times out of ten on hardware just as "fast" or "good" but with a different motherboard chipset, or a different video card manufacturer, or a nice AMD processor, or even a specific chipset combined with a video card model being run by Intel processors.

Not a euphemism, he literally hits his dog.
