Bryy Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Adam Brennecke just tweeted that he is looking forward to the live backer beta today. So doesn't seem to be any delay. It's coming. How dare they just get to work! 1
Ganrich Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Man, dat server load. I actually didn't expect it to get quite this bad. Chalk that up to my naivety. Pretty glad that the Beta going to have a lot of participants though.
Lythe Vodaine Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 It's ok for them to take their time. We'll just stress-test the forums and website in the meantime... 5
Leferd Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Yes. You are throwing a tantrum to be precise. Save it for when they actually do us wrong.I don't think that word means what you think it means.You are ranting about perceived offenses that go against your set of expectations regarding an update announcement for an announcement that was scheduled to go out today. Anyways, let's not get into a tiff on semantics. I guess I can understand why you wouldn't want to get into semantics, because you continue to misapply the meaning of words. I have neither ranted nor have I thrown a tantrum. Expressing an opinion, even one that some may not like, in a respectful and composed manner, as I have, is not ranting or throwing a tantrum. I know that I'm not alone in wishing for a little communication. Why does this offend you so? In hindsight, your postings came across to me as as more aggressive than what it actually was. Though my original entitlement statement wasn't specifically directed at you. Maybe it was the EA reference... My bad. 2 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Doppelschwert Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I know I'm not supposed to be entitled, but I'll be disappointed if I can't play today, and monday is only going to last for another 4-5 hours in europe. I mean, c'mon, a major part of the backers are from europe, why has everything to be US centric? I'd like to have my cake and eat it too.
sparklecat Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Given that the beta's apparently been up on Steam for awhile, I'm wondering if the "when it's ready" comment means they're waiting a few hours so they can get the auto-attack fix in or the like.

Though my original entitlement statement wasn't specifically directed at you. Maybe it was the EA reference... My bad. It takes a big man to admit that. You have my respect for doing so. And even just the vague tweet from Adam, frankly, is actually pretty reassuring. 1 "Now to find a home for my other staff."My Project Eternity Interview with Adam Brennecke

As I understand their Twitter messages, the team stepped out of the plane from Germany not even two hours ago. They're probably asleep right now and will release the beta in due time, once they awake.
amnes Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 ahhh please tell me you gonna let us download the beta before midnight in europe.Please please please.A dear fellow
Marceror Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Judging by server performance, that's exactly what WAY TOO MANY people are doing!! 2 "Now to find a home for my other staff."My Project Eternity Interview with Adam Brennecke

It's not that I don't understand the reasons, but i just try to prepare for a let down. If they don't update during the next couple hours, I'm going to lie in my bed thinking about that the updates going to be up anytime while trying to sleep so that my biorythm won't go down. And then I'll neither sleep nor play the demo, although there is a fair overlap between europe and US daytime. That would suck. Edited August 18, 2014 by Doppelschwert 2
Necro Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Yup, this was totally unexpected. Nobody could have forseen technical difficulties on a highly expected day. Tre shock. It's all the publishers fault. Yup, this was totally unexpected. Nobody could have forseen technical difficulties on a highly expected day. Tre shock.

Elidar Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I am really looking forward to trying it out. I am sure it will be a wonderful experience! Patience is always rewarded... ©

Maybe, but I think the big boss will want to be around (and awake) as well on the big day. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand where you're coming from, I'd rather play the beta sooner than later, too. But, since there's nothing we can do to speed up the process, we'll just have to accept the wait.
Heas Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Can't wait.. Really.. I mean.. Come on.. Like.. Oh my god. Can't wait to play it...
Lythe Vodaine Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Maybe I should actually be productive at work today... Perish the thought! 1
Marceror Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Good luck with coming test, guys! Test, schmest! I just want to play the damn thing. To hell with providing useful feedback to Obsidian! At least, initially. 1 "Now to find a home for my other staff."My Project Eternity Interview with Adam Brennecke
Marceror Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Brandon is online at the moment. Really...? 1, 2, 3... GET EM!!! Okay, that time I did let myself get a little carried away.

Gonna do some stuff in the kitchen and play some games for the next hour to kill some time. Probably better than hanging around here and making the server load longer for everyone else. 1
averagedog Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 For those of you browsing the forums at work using Company computers, you had best watch out if your company employs a network administrator to manage the company's network, servers, and internet. I currently work at a mail room associate for my company and my supervisor is also the network administrator. I overheard her talking to the big boss on what she has learned about the employees using some sort of industry software that allows her to literally spy on the browsing history off all employees using the network, even if they delete their browsing history. So, if I were you, I would not risk losing your probably much better job than my own to boredom.
