For stress testing yeah. The actual beta I am not sure how much they play. I would assume they get at least few days a week I hope, if not just all the time.According to my client, next beta phase is Thursday 5pm PDT.
Beta phases are ridiculously short, probably ~3-7 hours for a couple days every couple of weeks.
There is one.I wonder when the beta will be on going? Constant stress tests are a bit lame.
Totally agree that glorified tech demo definitely sold me. Wildstar will be shaking in their boots over a game that is 1.5years away from releasing. Fuck me.. It's like Everquest some kind of drug has turned everyone into a fucken retard.They better make this game hardcore as fuck to capture some of that neck beard market that EQN has decided to shit all over... Cuz when EQN gets released its gonna hammer this game into the dirt.
If they make it the hardcore gamer's choice, they may just carve out a niche for themselves. If not, well, good luck.
And this is how games fail. Pushing it out unfinished just to get some box sales. I'd rather it be done, released at the same time as whatever game and if its good and fun, word of mouth will carry and people will come no matter what. And if the game is good, it will slowly gain players, instead of "huge rush, then everyone leaves" that has been happening.This needs to release before the end of this year IMO. Any later and TESO's brand name alone will take a lot of it's initial box sales.
