Borg Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Direct from the GUILDWARS2 Forum.... We’ll be conducting a stress test on Monday May 14 from 11 AM to 6:00 PM PDT (-7 GMT). This special test event is open only to Pre-Purchase customers who have registered their accounts. With your help, we can conduct important tests and address some of the issues we identified during our first Beta Weekend Event. During this event, all you need to do is play normally with a new or existing character on your Beta account using the same game client. Please note that since this is a stress test of our servers, you may experience some in-game performance issues. If you’ve pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 and wish to participate in the stress test, we recommend that you register the account and download the game client. Pre-Purchase customers, log in to the Beta Forums for more information and/or to download the Beta client if needed. https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/stress/news/Getting-Started/169235 Boo his for me....work 11-930pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 And the last BWE wasn't considered a stress test? The server was packed and I spent most of my time in an overflow server when in Queensdale. They must have made a lot of stability changes in the last couple of weeks! sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martok Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I also believe this means they are getting closer to release than we think. July release date I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 That would rock. I'll have my new set of vacation time starting July 1st I can't take Monday off, but it ends around 9pm, so I should be able to get on for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kailand Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 EBgames and best buy were showing estimated release dates of june 30/july 1... but they've been known to be way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 EBgames and best buy were showing estimated release dates of june 30/july 1... but they've been known to be way off. Arenanet twitterted about that saying they were guesstimating and the actual release date would come directly from them (Arenanet). A july 4thish release date wouldn't be so bad.... a lot of people take off work around that time and get that day as a paid holiday. It wouldn't matter to the EU people.

Balandar Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 so my luck.......typical. Off Sat/Sun.....work Mon.....Off Tues/Wed Hey, did you get D3? It's coming out on Tuesday. The installer can be downloaded now and Blizzard will unlock the installer (so you can actually install the game) on Monday. It goes live at 12:01 AM Tuesday morning. I'll probably not be on until 6AM. I'll be in both the GW2 beta and D3 1st day for about a half day each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 DIRECT FROM GUILDWARS2 Headquarters............... Mike O'Brien.... The other week we hosted our first Beta Weekend Event, when hundreds of thousands of players who pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 got their first chance to play the game. This was a huge milestone for ArenaNet; with no NDAs and no press embargoes, the beta version of Guild Wars 2 would have to stand on its own before the full force of the Internet. I think it’s safe to say that the response was overwhelming in more ways than one. Firstly, the number of people who pre-purchased the game far exceeded our expectations, and we had to temporarily disable pre-purchases. In the end that wasn’t enough, and even with 48 worlds we didn’t have enough server capacity to meet the huge demand. Fortunately, the vast majority of players were able to get into the game and experience Guild Wars 2 in all its glory. Seeing Tyria come alive, with players interacting with dynamic events or engaging in epic World vs. World battles, was an amazing experience. We’ve highlighted some of the great coverage coming out of the Beta Weekend in another blog post, but suffice it say that we were blown away by the reaction from the community. The positive feedback just strengthens our resolve to deliver the best game possible. This was definitely a real beta, designed to find problems, gather player input, and learn what work still needs to be done before we ship the game. We’ve listened to your feedback and we’re making some important improvements to the game for the next Beta Weekend Event. At the same time, we’re also working on server capacity to make sure that we’re prepared for the even greater flood of players who will participate in the next Beta. To that end, we’ve announced a Stress Test on Monday May 14th to test some changes we’ve implemented. This 7-hour test event, which runs from 11 AM to 6 PM PDT (-7 GMT) is open to all players who have pre-purchased Guild Wars 2. The good news is that we’re not wiping characters for this test; we’re using the same build that we used in the first Beta Weekend Event, so you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off. For more information about the Stress Test, log in to the Beta Forums. Please join us on May 14 if you can. I want to thank each and every one of you for your support—every time you participate in our test events you help make the game better. We’ll see you in-game!
