Hi all,

As we were running through our final checks before today’s Desert Borderlands Stress Test we ran into a technical issue that is currently preventing us from starting on time. We are currently working on a fix for this issue, and I will update this thread with more information once it is available.

Thank you for your patience,
Josh

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Maybe have ~RB throw out a tweet, too, for people who don’t watch the forums?

If you opt out of our newsletter you probably didn’t get an email. Try logging into your account management page and seeing if the client is available for download there.

Should be a way to “opt in” the newsletters i guess :/

Dont have fast enough internet to download the whole thing in a few hours, so I guess im stuck to watching streams then.

But thanks anyway Josh Davis

So I had to sign up somewhere apart from pre purchasing HoT to get in beta? That’s kinda dissappointing..

Its a stress test, not a beta event. They are not the same thing, pre purchasing hot gives you access to beta events, not stress tests.

I say what needs to be said, get used to it.

It uses the new streaming client, so you don’t actually need the full download. Only about 5-6 gigs, I believe.

Just out of curiosity, wouldn’t it have been possible for the beta client to detect an existing gw2 installation, copy the data archive from that locally and then add to it the data for the stress test under the new installation (ie. use the pre-existing data file as basis).

Maybe it is not technically feasible, but it would have saved lot of bandwidth on both end if it was possible.

Very disappointed so far… Only seeing K-trains… No actual WvW gameplay. No Offense / Defense. Another EoTM… EoTM is NOT WvW.

I would prefer something on our account management that shows whether we are opted in to the newsletter currently or not and the ability to change it there if necessary. Because in order to get communications about betas etc. the email has to match an eligible account, correct? So for these sort of communications that are tied to an existing account it would be intuitive to have control over it there where rest of our account specific options are.

Would be especially useful for those of us with multiple accounts.
