Title: Stress Test Aug 9
Post by: Shatter on August 08, 2012, 03:53:30 PM
We will be conducting a stress test on Thursday, August 9 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time.
 
The stress test is open to anyone who has pre-purchased Guild Wars 2.

We will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed. Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch. By participating in this stress test, you’re helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we’ll see you in-game! ~RB2

This is great, gives me a chance to tryout some build ideas

Out of town in the hinterlands of Iowa with no computer.   So no stress test for me.

Why do they pick such awful times?  I might get in for an hour of that.

7pm till 11pm is awful?  :grin:

I assume they are testing peak hours in different regions... tonight seems geared to East Coast. Yesterday felt like they were testing Western Europe/Great Britain's peak hours. Or am I reaching?

Either way... I am east coast and I won't be around to play, though I did get in an hour last night. I dunno, knowing it is a limited time and playing a toon that is going to get thrown into the beta volcano come release doesn't motivate me to play anymore till the 28th (25th i guess).

Clearly they hired the same guy who Mythic was using to schedule Wrath of Heroes tests.

FYI, for those desperate like me trying to play now, if your password is saved in the client you will get an error, you have to retype your password.

Got into the hour thing today and started a fresh toon. Seems they got rid of the autodeath in the intro boss and the difficulty seems to be higher as well. Found myself dodging a hell of a lot more. I likes.
