Don’t make me add the “Just Kidding Song” sound file to every post, now! Especially when I used not just a smiley but a huge smiley!
If you see the post as an “ask” and I see it as an “opportunity” I think we can agree that either definition is perfectly fine. I’m glad that you’re going to accept the invitation, and hope to see you there!
My gaming rig “blew up”.
So I’m, as fast as the ISP can, downloading the client on my laptop, to be ready and help for the stress test (thoug I’ll play with 10 FPS bst case).
Oh gosh, hope that sorts out ok! Under the circs, don’t stress it (pun intended) but come along only if it’s convenient for you!
We hope you’ll enjoy riding around in Elona with the new elite specializations today and look forward to hearing about your experience.
There have been a number of changes and bug fixes to some of the specializations since the first time you were able to play them during the WvW/PvP Preview Weekend. However, we still are vetting and testing many of the changes, and as a result the stress test today will have the same versions that were featured during the preview weekend. You’ll be able to see the updated elite specialization changes on September 22nd!
To bad we dont get the chance to give feed back on the changes you mention in that thread. I am dying to see instant tomes and 600 range on those mantras ;-)
But good to see the elites in the stress test.
Thanks for being an example to your colleagues on how to communicate with your customers.
so let me get this straight, you put a stress test in the middle of the week on a time most ppl need to work the next day?
no really, think before you act, Europeans don’t live at nigh, we sleep till 7 at least so that means your stress test isn’t gonna have much “stress” to begin with.
and i know your European server is somewhere in ether Germany or Amsterdam so connection is faster, with this time schedule you can just as much stop and wait till ppl are actually awake.
How long does this last? In 40 minutes I will be meeting with a client for a school project and can’t log in until around 7-7:30 MT. .
So, I am just curious how long the stress test will last for there is no info here.

They said a couple hours, but that is probably pushing it

See you in Tyria!
Thank you Gaile
Can you tell us if core classes and HoT specs are going to be fixed or adapted to PoF meta?
We appreciate each and every person who pre-purchases our game. Please note that each person who does that will receive pre-purchase bonuses. I don’t feel it’s reasonable to ask for additional items. I believe (no, I know) the majority of players who are able to join the test will consider this a nice “bonus,” an opportunity to spend a bit of extra time in the game and will not feel entitled to getting additional or extra free items.
Well they get the game stress tested we get another window to demo test crystal oasis, Fair to me.
Cant seem to get into it either… tobad I stayed up for this.
White Lions Claw , dungeon, Living Story ,
Personal Story, WvsW , Guild Missions, Living Story and so much more.

For those who can’t see any demo character slot: Triple check. I thought I didn’t have any either, but after I scrolled through my characters a third time, I found them right in the middle of my character list.
Having the same problem. I had the demo slots available to me about 15 minutes before the stress test begun then they disappeared after I log out of my main character to switch to the demo slots.
As note, I was idling in character select around the time the test was apparently started, so perhaps the had some unwarranted impact. Logging in or out makes no difference, however.

My previously created characters are still alive! Yay! Sans mount, boo. However, I understand re-doing the story line will give you the raptor back – which, I guess means a re-roll.
One thing – as I wandered the more deserty areas, I couldn’t get this out of my mind: “Mmmmmm, Shai-Hulud. Usul has called a big one! Again, it is the legend…”
Unfortunately the availability of the demo slot is tied to your computer’s clock. (Whether you can actually get in is up to the server.) . So check your computer’s clock. (This might explain why you saw the slots early and they disappeared.)

Indeed my computer’s clock has been 4 hours ahead for some reasons I never solved until (hopefully) now. This worked. Thanks.
God, with the new salvagable items we are going to make many more resources.
I don’t know if the future recipes will need that much materials, but even if so, it could be a problem with a base tier bank storage.
I know that you can save em end salvage the items when needed, but this will also mean that you will be forbidden to obtain MF ( if you are not capped ) untill you decide to shard everything or part of it.
I do like the new zone.
Some monster seems to be pretty op ( like the beginning of HoT ), but mostly because i suck with Ranger class, i guess.
Ps: i also mistaken one of the new monster for a lazor engineer, then went afk and got killed lol.
edit: guess i signed up for a “race” without having a raptor.
I am surely not adding anything to the stress test for you, but I tried Deadeye now in an PvE environment and I really like it. It was not my character with my clothes etc. (female Asura are so incredibly mean!) but it was so far exactly what I hoped for me. My showerthought became true. I waited on a ledge and waited for enemies casually coming into my 1.500 range and then shot them one by one from a safe distance, bigger enemies got marked first for some extra damage. For someone playing alone and enjoying this kind of gameplay in many other games (Splinter Cell, Dishonored, THIEF, …), this way of “thinning out” a flock of enemies before entering melee with my daggers was really fun and I also finally really understood the design decisions behind the whole thing. Very nice. I started to look out for ledges to get on immediately xD I can understand this elite might not suit many people, but for me, it does. For a lone wolf like I am, Deadeye is adding so much on many levels (gameplay, immersion, personal preferences.)
Now I wait until 22nd and see how it works out outside of any beta environment and how “easy” it is to achive hero points or whatever. So far I also like the textures and whatnot (could not participate on the first beta test). Very well spent money and quality-wise very well executed. I see many fun hours with this expansion for me :-)

“We [Asura] are the concentrated magnificence!”
So that’s it? I just started and the stress test is already over? GG, got kicked out of the first mission. That really wasn’t worth creating and customizing a character for an hour.
