Yeah, that's right. Screw the workin' man! "Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever." - Noam Chomsky |

Right on with that. I'll only have like 3 hours to log in. Guess I'll just see if they fixed that skill challenge in Queensdale and do a few DEs. Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more. |

I wouldn't really consider more than maybe just turning on my PC and logging in w/o playing, adding a little more stress, as I don't want to start a new char for 7 hours. But the post states "existing characters". If I could continue on my char from the last BWE I'd be tempted to take a day off. Even if the stress test will likely mean it'll be 7 hours of the late Friday lag and early Saturday can't-login-problems. |

GW2 or College Finals? I think we all know the correct choice. My Guild Wars 2 Blog can be found here: Divinity's Reach |

It seems like a Saturday afternoon would be much better for this, or at least later in the evening for US players. I know if you go too late, it would become a problem in Europe, but this still just seems like a weird time to do a stress test. Don't you want the most people possible trying to be in the game world simultaneously? "There are two great powers, and they've been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit." — John Parry, to his son Will; "The Subtle Knife," by Phillip Pullman |

So my question is how true of a stress test is it given the times of the stress test. Most companies do one day stress tests starting around 4PM PDT not 11AM PDT. To many people will be at work for it to be a real stress test. |

Sounds like a test for the European servers which seemed to have had more problems then the ones in the US. Either way it's great that they are doing this before the next BWE to make sure things are good. Also might show that the next beta weekend is coming sooner then we think. Great weekend coming up, TSW beta, gw2 stress test, and diablo launch.... And I'm stuck out of town... Great....

Maybe the test goes smoothly and we get a BWE this weekend? Last time it was two weekends after wards though so I'm probably wrong. |
