Technical Test "in a few days" - Page 9

onewingedangel · 2012-07-04, 07:33 PM

Maybe that tweet about fireworks in Auraxis meant that they're starting the technical test tomorrow. It wouldn't make sense in any other way besides the beta process starting tomorrow and I don't see that happening until next week or longer seeing as the "couple weeks" was more than 2 and bugs inevitably happen.

Nope, if you read his following tweet, he was referring to optimizing explosions.

JRock replied to someone's post on Facebook (I think yesterday, maybe the day before) that they were currently in the technical testing phase. I have no idea how long this will last though.

Here's the link, although you'll probably have to be signed in to Facebook to get to it properly: http://www.facebook.com/PlanetSide2/...27949400583010

EDIT: Yeah, it was yesterday.

Good job, you monster.

That's good to hear though. My predictions after the "few days" was friday technical test, next friday closed beta.... so, I'm right on track.

Indeed. We have an awesome test zone that is nothing but explosions every 5 meters or so for an entire square kilometer. We call it many things (awesome map is one). It looks quite a bit like the San Diego Bay fireworks display of awesome we had last night (check the news for footage of that one).

Smedley has clearlyy stated that external people will be let in in the tech pre-beta test

I'm afraid you don't know your shit. The technical test is NOT an external test. If you look back over Smed's tweet he said "or beta" - he was merely encouraging guys to register their machine info for beta.

Once more, none of us will be invited to the tech test. But I promise beta is close at hand.

"Write me a note if you want to come to my birthday or if you're coming to my 4th of July Party."
Clearly from the "Or" in my prior statement, no one is getting invited to my Birthday.
Your logic is truly infallible.

You guys better get a video of that made..... it sounds too awesome not to immortalize.

I don't want to disappoint anyone (we're all as eager to get in as everyone else). I just don't want anyone to think their missing out while people are in the tech test. They aren't. We're all waiting patiently together.

If you want to play in our tech test or the beta my advice would be to make sure you do our hardware survey.

Uhu...
