This is pathetic. I've never seen a company in my life that doesn't know how to do a stress test.

4pm PST? That is literally smack dab in the MIDDLE of the working day for the United States, Canada, Mexico, and I believe countries like Great Britain are going to bed around this time?

Do they not understand what a "stress test" means?

Or are these "Stress Tests" meant for Australian players?

What I dont understand is why hasn't Anet been conducting stress tests as often as they are now since GW2 was released for pre-purchased. I know that they are getting ready for release, but it would have been nice to have had this frequency of stress tests since April 10th.

I just want to play the game soooooo bad!

dont know why you get super excited for a 4 hour play session, you act like real addicts. 5 days it will be up so there we go.

Well some of us still have things to decide...main race? profesion?

and these 4 hours play tests can help to have every nailed for release^^

Ah! and helping ArenaNet with their test is a plus+++

Europe actually, where they have an incredibly large playerbase.  It'll be primetime for them.

They have done most Tests at that time...which is prime time in Europe.

They have a massive player base in Europe (England,France,Germany & Spain mostly)

I agree though...it´s in the middle of the working day in US...and that´s exactly what they`re doing....work in US....

Just wish they would have stress tests for PDT primetime folks.  That way I could actually play it lol.  Ohh well, another 4 days and I'll be in for real.

They only gave the US one prime-time stress test. Frustrating, but with about 4 days to go before HS, it's just not worth getting upset over.

could speculate that they got all the testing they needed from the NA servers during the BWEs but who knows.

Awesomeeee! I get to try out my new mouse!

During this stress test, they will be actively working and so will I, heheh

No GW2 for me, sad face

Looking at the times this proofs to me that the stress test is really what they say it is, a test, and not so much a marketing tool..

Well at least this test gives me the opportunity to check if I still have the same connectivity issues I had in the last two Stress Tests so I can be prepared for the launch at saturday! :)

Thanks for sharing the news!
