Guild Wars 2

To do strong stress-testing, games often have “beta weekends.” Maybe that is coming up in the future, but I am surprised people are so immediately defending them releasing content away from peak hours (on Tuesdays). I did address that weekend working could be the issue in the OP, but I am sad to hear it because it is quite common to do weekend tests across the industry…

This honestly sounds like laziness to me, I hate to say it because I love the game.

I am wondering why the test for Stronghold is taking place mostly in the middle of the day in the middle of the week. I, for one, will be working late Tuesday the 14th so I will play maybe one stronghold game which will hardly be enough to kitten it fairly and offer feedback.

I would recommend:

1. Test on a wekend, Sat-Sun, or Fri-Sat
2. Test from 6PM Pacific to 6PM pacific, that way people can play in 2 separate evenings instead of noon to noon where anyone with a day job can play for one evening at most.

I am sure there must be a reason other than, “We don’t want to work weekends,” right??

Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for the opportunity to test Stronghold.
